We've gone from 1/10 to 1/6 with the bookies... really hope we don't need anything from our trip to Villa...I guess we will be decent odds on not to lose at Villa but it won't feel like it - more like disaster written all over it...
Average price with the Bookies for Top 6 finish is 1/9.
This 90% combined probability of finishing 5th or 6th (or 4th or 3rd!) is reflected in the predictive models available online.
(Hopefully this is one of my probability based offerings that doesn't get pooh-poohed by people claiming that...
MacAllister for a massive fee would be a classic anti-Moneyball transfer due to inflated cost after successful World Cup. For us to be the selling club is OK.
I am really optimistic that Tony Bloom will continue to play the global transfer market to our advantage and we will maintain our level...
I had the classic "bloke behind me" at the back of NS Block D.... real loudmouth moaning about Albion players not pressing or f***ing getting a tackle in...I went to get a pint just before HT but I'd be surprised if he didn't boo our lads off... when the moaning and general lack of support...
Does anyone have a spare ticket in NS still to be put on the Exchange...?
If so, I'd be really grateful for a Private Message to arrange the chance for me to snap it up.
Great song. The chorus following the verse is so catchy and easy/fun to sing. The NSK Police Box singers gave it a good airing at a recent home game he played (Grimsby?).
Wait and see how the table looks at the end of the season. One piece of bad luck with VAR can be written off as just "normal" bad luck and thus discounted.
If we finish below but within within only 3 points of 4th (or 7th) then that will be the time for sleepless nights and permanent misery...
This. Would have had at best mixed feelings about funding a very expensive family day out to watch us lose to City. Repeating the very similar whole "day out" after a 4 year interval was good yesterday - but it wouldn't have worked the same to do it again in 6 weeks time.
DeZerbi quote I like from yesterday is "I was a fan. I am especially sorry for our fans". That is the sort of empathy you don't find in a university textbook.
He understands the emotional experience of being a fan. The highs, the lows, the joy and frustration. Football is nothing without...
20% off thanks to AMEX was a real bonus. BoxPark was great value and best part of day for me. As documented, Wembley itself is pretty crap if you don't win.
Funny to see the few people without flags in middle tier doing The Amex lobotomised seals clap along which so ruins the singing of SBTS... would like to see a video from the flag bearing sections - must be the best ever rendition.
Mrs G is enjoying a well-earned minibreak with a girlfriend in Seville this weekend.
Has asked me to post on NSC to see if there are any Albion fans who she could meet up with to watch the game.
Wouldn't normally bother but a bar full of only plastic Mancs won't be much fun so the long shot is...
