I'm not sure its the sensible decision (My wife is very clear that it is not!) , but yes I am going and really looking forward to it.

And GP is always very clear that "situations" , even those that are extreme, are just something else that the team need to deal with.. doubt he would even have entertained the notion of postponement.

I've gone 0-0 .. two low scoring teams of course makes it an "easy" choice. I would love us to keep a clean sheet tonight and in the current circumstances in terms of injuries , as yet unclear Covid impact, I would take a draw now.

I think we simply to have to trust the Coaching/medical set-up. I think there are plenty of speedsters such as Lamptey for whom a recurrent hamstring injury can mark the end, or the beginning of the end. They are never quite the same again. I think the carful approach is simply justified by that...

I appreciate the effort of the few attempting to roll this t@*$ in glitter, but its hard to imagine a worse time to have a football match. Part of the attraction of the PL, that was highlighted repeatedly over the last two years is the fans at the stadium. Picking a match at an out of town...

0-2 Albion!!! We will be up against it for much of the match, but a rare set-piece goal from a corner and sublime break away towards the end give us the points!!! Goals for Webster and Mwepu!!

That he didn't make an impression in this cameo, having not played etc. is not all that surprising.. Look at Raphina. BUT, despite my and many others absolute dream that he will re-create that goal vs. Millwall, or the goals on his first few appearances (Coventry? Swansea?) he just looks so out...

Love him as a player, He;s having the season I hoped he was going to have last season, when I confidently tipped him as "POTS" amongst my mates.. much to their derision come season end!!! Fortunately I tipped Man Utd as PL winners this season to get my pride back, given they were signing Varane...

Frustration is what caused the booing. end of. Had Solly's effort dribbled in, there would have been no booing, joy unabound. The so-called "small margins" eh? I think we as fans need to take our medicine when the gaffer points it out -its feedback that we are willing to give, its feedback we...

Its hard to call for me.. On paper, this game should suit our style better than Villa or Newcastle, but if Leeds score 1st and they can certainly do that, it may open up too much. I have gone for 2-2, believing neither team will keep a clean sheet, but we were so dominant vs. them in both games...

Ok. So from my seat, also in the North, we play through the initial press pretty well most of the time, with the odd scramble as one bad pass, mis-control and you can see it start to unravel. Sanchez far more comfortable with it than Ryan. High risk/High Reward = "near suicidal" if you're...

You call it rather ungraciously "dicking around" "dumb" "idiotic" - why so ? When does trying to play past a press or break the lines or switching the play become primary school error? Which of the goals vs. Villa came from doing that? or Newcastle. Arguably one of our best chances on the...

I get That there are different opinions on football, style and entertainment, I just don't get why some believe that the intention is to build-up slowly, or "dick-around-with-it-at-the-back" . The very notion or insinuation that the coaching team tell the players to do that, or coach the players...

The winless run is another phase of a long season. The "winning streak" before it too. Not worried about our form, but frustrated because Villa loss, Norwich and Toon draws feel so familiar, and last season was one of the most frustrating on record!! But n that winless run, performances against...

Its amazing to think we haven't won in 6 games and are sitting 7th!! Tough game in prospect.. not all managers see a bounce 1st game in, but feels like Gerrard could get that, simply based on his relatively recent status as a player, whether it is sustainable or not who knows. Taking the lead...

I think we are far too precious about it.. the atmosphere is an organic "thing" for us.. linked and related to the opposition, the kick-off time, the events on the pitch and the referee! All of these link to how "good" the atmosphere is for Home fans, Getting out-sung by travelling hordes is...

Another piece of footballing terminology that has crept in!! My understanding, correct or not is to avoid having a striker playing in the recognised role of a traditional "No.9 " who would typically play right up against the back 4, primarily to engage the centre-backs. With the false 9, a...

This - wind, rain, open terrace and terrible games/results.. Agree with others on Everton - the worst view and the most disappointing vs. the excitement/expectation I had at going there.. Another shout for Anfield too - seats that are impossible for most people over 5ft to actually sit in...

The Zaha one is horrible and I have never liked the "we pay your benefits" or the "got get your fathers gun" etc.. tasteless. However, in the context of the Arsenal game, and in the minority here, I have to admit the TB song made me chuckle a bit.. doesn't make sense in any other context though.
