No training kit. Nicest thing is probably the El Capitano/Premier League t-shirts. Non-training hoodies and trackies that are too thick to train in. It's full of tat, looked like an expanded representation of the inside of my noggin.
I think my dread is that if we get to the semis and draw a big club, the FA will sting us all massively on ticket prices for what will very likely be a non-event of a game, and it will ultimately be a cripplingly expensive, inevitable disappointment based on the most miniscule ray of unavoidable...
From the little anyone can ever truly know of Locadia, I'd say it would be in keeping if he disappeared forever off a seemingly innocuous yet injurious mishap.
Arsenal really look quite frail at times. Could that be where we get a top six away win? Also: it was freezing, Lac is an idiot, Bate and their manager are entertaining (in an extremely robust way). Something is still terribly wrong at Arsenal for them to be losing to a team with a 37-year-old...
Newcastle cutting out the middle men that we use in comedyfending. One of our back four would've volleyed the cross 15 metres in the air or politely stood behind the post ball-watching as part of that goal.
If it's a measure of progress, we have a point less than we had this time last year.
The margins yesterday were thin. Reminded me of the Bourneo cup game, which could have been completely different had the home side scored any of their early chances.
I am quite embarrassed at how much of a virgin my reaction to their goal made me seem but Balogun is very much a reserve defender, ain't he? Worst goal we've gifted opponents since Huddersfield.
As much as NSC makes you worry about people, the phone-in's been off the scale in the last 20 minutes.
Some angel suggested we should stop paying Iz and AJ. Then they just found someone at the ground who said they could remember the last time we were in the FA Cup - losing the first game was...
Tempting fate here but it wasn't intimidatingly horrible last year. Probably because Palace knew they were gonna win by the time they'd had 15 minutes to experience Albion's collective attitude and approach to marking. The wait to get in and out was a pain, and I resented giving Palace loads of...
He would truly become an Albion cult hero if this happened. Right up there with Paul Holsgrove and Emeka Ifejiagwa.
"I had to have a medical in Istanbul" sounds like a textbook excuse for a day off work.
At least it makes the rest of the season more interesting. The minute this lot get a couple more wins they will be on the beach mentally. If we beat Huddersfield and Cardiff, I don't imagine we'll get another point.
Sorry if someone's already suggested this but do you reckon watching us today was like how top ten Money League teams feel when they're playing us at home?
