That made me chuckle, well done!
Only a little chuckle mind .... but that's a bonus these days on NSC, the humour of old has been replaced with incessant moaning and disagreements nowadays. :down:
In the event the game goes ahead as planned, I'm afraid parking is not the easiest.
There is a large shopping mall literally on the doorstep, 50metres away at most, with thousands of parking spaces, but it's free parking with deliberate restrictive times on matchdays, so short stay shoppers can...
I would hold fire on booking anything at all if I were you.
I live up here on the Cov/Kenilworth border, and I'm a regular visitor to the Ricoh. (Yes, I know it's been re-branded, but EVERYBODY still calls it the Ricoh. :smile:)
Big controversy still going on in these parts because Cov have had...
....or the other side of that coin is that someone sent off in the 1st minute will effectively have served a 1 match ban so doesn't need another!! :rolleyes:
Much has been made on here (quite rightly) of Lallana's miss in the 2nd half, but I felt the turning point in the game was Cucurella's missed header.
It was the simplest of chances, even Harry Redknapp's wife would have scored that (you youngsters won't understand that reference!) and it came at...
There were some canny lads (see what I did there?) on the Mill Road Park'n Ride bus, both going and returning.
Happy to chat with anybody, no animosity in any direction, and accepting of the fact they are currently quite shyte.
Walking through their massed ranks at the aforementioned coach park...
Back on topic ......
Did anybody hear the Japanese 'expert' on TalkSport earlier in the week on H&J (yesterday I think?).
Hawksbee asked the guy what sort of player Mitoma is.
He thought about it for a moment and then said the closest thing he could think of was that he was a lot like Jimmy...
Whenever I start to have doubts about Connolly, I just watch a re-run of his goal up at Burnley.
That was not a player who is useless, it was a sublime striker's goal.
He's clearly got the tools in his box, but there is no denying he doesn't bring them out often enough.
My frustration with him...
I live in the CCFC catchment area, and nearly all my close relatives up here are CCFC fans, several of them season ticket holders.
Inevitably therefore, last season I watched a vast number of Cov games very much with Ostigard as the focus, and also had reports on him from my relatives on any...
Phew!
For me the post of the day, week ... month!
I've got a relatively new (& expensive!) TV and I was going nuts yesterday thinking the damn thing had gone on the blink already.
I spent a good 15-20 minutes fiddling with every setting I could think of trying to sort the picture out, all to no...
I read an article today ridiculing the respective fees allegedly being paid for Ben White and Man Utd's new superstar centre back, highlighting that Ben's experience/achievements were practically zero as opposed to the Frenchman who had played and won in virtually every major competition going...
Sadly I fear I may fall into the old codger bracket in the eyes of our younger members, but to re-assure my fellow old gits out there I downloaded my ST in literally seconds. It was very easy and very painless, though I do possess an iPhone 8 which is probably an advantage over doing it on an...
Agree about Propper and Ryan.
Burn has already proved his worth to the side, he certainly isn't dead wood.
Don't agree about Connolly either. I see great potential in him. He certainly knows where the goal is, but he needs teaching how to stay on his feet. Drives me nuts when he looks for free...
My brief thoughts on the evening...
DEFENCE
Walton getting some unfair criticism for the goal, no goalkeeper would have plucked it out of the air it was too high, but maybe he could have challenged Ineacheo (sp) as the ball reached him to stop it being a free header.
In the long shot camera...
I've just viewed the highlights to refresh my memory, and you are mistaken.
Take another look.
Walton could have stepped forward two paces ... and the ball would still have been four feet above his head!
I don't know what you were watching, but no way is that ball at head height FOUR yards in...
I can think of one or two games this season where we got what we deserved (Liverpool on Wednesday for instance!).
I can think of even more games this season where we got less than we deserved (Palace away the stand out!)
.... but is that the first time this season we got more than we deserved?
Sanchez - 8 MOM I'm not blaming him for the goal, he only had a split second to react, and his bravery saved us on a number of occasions today.
White - 7 Had one of his best games today, he's maturing like a fine wine.
Dunk - 8 Superb today, can't remember an error, and great header for the...
Yeah, Ashley Barnes was a total angel when he played for us.
I'm still convinced the ref dived when Ash accidentally assault and batteried him.
No way was that an offence worthy of a 7 game (or was it more?) ban.
:angel:
