Surely a mention of someone being injured at City and now a goalkeeper playing too much at L'pool

Thanks.
I also have a bad feeling. Two teams who play a high line but I feel like they'll be more clinical on the break than us. Hoping I'm wrong.

Sorry to hear that. I'm dealing with a diverticulitis flare up at the moment which started early hours of Saturday morning. Missed a gig I had a ticket for yesterday evening. Going to make a call at 2pm as to if I feel OK to travel or watch on TV. I've also got a ticket for Joe Jackson at Brighton Dome this evening ... which I really want to get to. Not great timing.

I also missed going to fright night at Thorpe park yesterday.
Hope you feel better soon.

Spurs son-in-law is out here visiting and will be coming round to watch. Please Lord, be merciful and help us bury the bastards.

Surprised by the amount of tickets left on the exchange for this. Perhaps the crap Sunday 4:30 kick off time is putting people off...?

Disease are a good side.
Feels like there is kind of a general malaise around the Albion at the moment. Second half of last season was woeful, this season started well (for 2 games anyway) and has now gone a bit flat. Doesn't feel like the love for fab is as strong as it was for RDZ?
I'm in 2 minds with fab I want him to work. But I said last season I would absolutely hate to have that spurs Aussie fraud as our manager and this high line crap is ultimately not the answer unless you have real or city's squad. And now we seem to have a worse version of Ange.

Not really entitlement, I'm not complaining. It's just a fact. There's pretty much an absence on NSC of threads about FH as a 'personality'

I am regularly reminded on the political threads that a beige reliable man is much better than a charismatic wayward one
Does this not apply in football?

They also have quicker CB’s than us so it works better.
Well, because there's no need.
Roberto De Zerbi had his personality created by his fans, who needed a charismatic sex machine to drain the sorrows from the previous regime. In reality he was a boring, humourless, sleepy man who knew seven words of English.
Hurz is boring... just like De Zerbi, Potter, Hughton and in all likelihood Hyypiä. RDZ is probably the closest we'll get to the "appoint a clown and see it go down"-drain that is much more thrilling in Hollywood than in reality.
Keep the managers boring and the football fun and its all good. What the f*** are you going to do with the managers personality anyway?
