Waiting list? Anyone can buy a ST surely as long as you don’t hang about too long once they go on sale. Until last season you could get half STs too, advertised before Christmas. I’m guessing they didn’t need to last season as they sold out for the first time. There's a priority order starting...
That’s incredibly mean to Milner who I thought had a great game. Both Gilmour and Milner put in excellent performances despite pre-match misgivings. If different people put one of the two slightly ahead of the other that’s fine by me but just to write off one of them because you’re a fan of the...
I disagree about Sutton and his style. He has two modes. If he’s on a wind-up he makes it very obvious, eg when swapping schoolboy-level bantz with the appalling Savage on 606. For his more mainstream media work as co-commentator or studio pundit he’s quite insightful and certainly offers a...
The only way I can avoid the nightmare queues in East Upper is to pop out 5 mins before HT, then come back to my seat and hold onto my pie until halfway through HT as it seems rude to start eating before everyone else.
Disappointed there were no breakfast pies left to experience but at least...
All things considered, I don’t mind Gilmour going, especially to a club like Napoli. But it’s the suggested fee that irks me and many others here. £12-15m is too low. £23-28m seems about right.
Man Utd probably shaded the first half. We scored with one of very few chances we had. Minteh not finding any room, Mitoma being kept quiet too. JPVH and Veltman doing well. We also had a dodgy start last week. Let’s hope FH shakes things up a bit or Utd could quite easily win this.
So do we call him Georginio rather than Rutter? I hope we’ll get a glimpse of him on the pitch later today. Like others, not wild about WBG and Milner in MF but maybe there’s a bigger plan being hatched here (he muttered nervously).
These days, Sterling is a really good footballer for about 5% of the time he spends on the pitch. For the rest of the time he’s anonymous or incompetent, and must be really infuriating for the fans.
Ooh, you rat! Are you now turning this round and suggesting I’m not “just enjoying the whole experience”? That was my entire point. That I’m enjoying the whole experience and have no desire to get stressed about how to measure Albion’s performances against management targets in order to assess...
I don’t feel any desire whatsoever to 'wonder what to expect and what to measure success/failure against".
Oh come on! For heaven’s sake Eric, we’re not at work now, fearful about our annual targets blah blah. We’re football fans. We love watching our team play. If they continue to give us...
Time to change our mentality I reckon. Yup, let’s not forget 'where we’ve come from' but let’s also develop a bit more self belief, and realise that we’re no longer a little club!
I listen to quite a few football podcasts (for my sins), and pretty much every fan base at the moment is ‘incredibly excited' about their new acquisitions.
Of course, our optimism is more justified than those others….
Fook me, what a superb start to the weekend.
I was very sad about Barco going but this has cheered me up a lot. Now all we need is to hand Man Utd a good thumping tomorrow, with Ferdi introduced at halftime to the Amex, and life will be freakin' perfect. At least for a few days.
