I think that was my point.. it was a performance that was OK but was far more competitive than I feared it would be (hence it was positive vs. expectations) , but couldn't really complain that the best team won on the day. Maybe it was the lower expectations given recent labours and injuries...
This was how I felt with the loss at the Emirates in January.. we were ultimately well-beaten by a top side but still in the game until the end, but no cause for anger or frustration through bad luck, poor officiating or a horrible mistake. It was the right result based on the relative...
No complaints from me .. not quite good enough but “in the game” with Salah off form. Only real disappointment is Pervis and his complete loss of form. Quite sad to watch but is a bit of a liability atm..
Irish bar night before the Roma game and a bloke with a beard (looked like a big Ian Holloway!!) suddenly decided to throw a beer over group of younger lads.. presumably to get a reaction which it did albeit maybe not to the extent he hoped for with others including bar staff calming it down...
Now you've clarified "Lighter touch than Palace" I agree!! I'm not trying to set it up as a particularly threatening or unpleasant experience, just it was heavier than plenty of other games we've all been to including Amsterdam. (y)
I think "light touch" is a little generous. the barking dogs, riot shields and number of checks felt to me to be a little over the top compared to other matches. Amsterdam was definitely light touch and "low-profile", but this was significantly heavier than that. That said, no-one was unpleasant...
Not sure I get the "tit for tat " sentiment either. If it is abused by them then that is on them, and the acceptance/indulgence of the Ultras at some continental clubs creates the strategy employed by the security forces tasked with dealing with it. Its just easier to be S**t to smaller number...
Nothing wrong with this interview.. the team is off the pace and is struggling to be consistent relative to recent levels . He's come out of the dressing room where clearly there has been a lot said and and if he's struggling to look comfortable he's very conscious about the things he doesn't...
Fair point, recognised your form but hadnt quite grasped how close you were to top 7 but I think either of us qualifying for Europe is probably unrealistic however accept Cup is always difficult given Big 6 always win it..
typically pessimistic for this one (I find my BHA-supporting football life easier that way!!) but this is a big game for Wolves given they are safe and nothing major to aim for (Europe qualification not realistic through PL) . This isnt our biggest game in the next 7 days and, whilst we are as...
Just cant see us having enough depth or relative interest given PL and Europa league I think are bigger priorities. Without WBG, Pedro and Mitoma, (Fergie maybe injured, Welbeck may need rest etc etc..) just think we wont have the firepower - 1-3 to Wolves ..
And even more peeved having watched the Liverpool goal being chalked off.. get it’s for offside but the “foul” deemed relevant as goal scorer not challenged by player blocked ???
Don’t know if mentioned .. am peeved the referee/VAR didn’t look at the goal. Watch Godfrey pull on Ferguson, literally drags him ti the ground to stop him challenging to clear the 1st ball in.. it then drops to the giraffe who smacks it home. It injured Ferguson in the fall.. genuine foul not...
I guess, regardless of how easy the data is to assemble or leak, the data is the property of the Club not the individual and relatively easy to track if it has been downloaded or shared elsewhere, so pretty sure there is no immediate haemorrhaging of data..
Sigh..... inevitable, frustrating and disappointing.
Can't be stopped of course.. I wish him no personal ill at all, however, I hope it all falls flat for Chelsea. I hope that the impact he can have is limited because the obsession that these clubs that they "deserve" better causes them to drop...
That wording "bring forward" ..... I think "re-start their plan to install Glasner" might be more accurate. None of that should deflect from the fact that if this is best for Roy's health then from that perspective, this is a good thing.
