Found it hard to watch actually, with the changes that have happened. In the first game at United they featured a superb Sanchez save, and that just made me sad. Turned it off after that.
Let's not kid ourselves, expectations are going to be through the roof. I fully expect this place to be absolute throat slitting misery when we have a couple of bad results
We will get all of that, but we're still 18 months out from an election. You win nothing with poll leads a year before an election. When all this does drop no-one will be saying 'ah, but they didn't tell us this in summer '23'. Patience is the virtue here.
I guess if the race leader of the Tour de France could dope up to win a stage, in the shadow of all the attention on this issue and on this race, and after everything that's gone before, well if he could do it and could get away with it, then really the sport is totally lost and any of them...
He literally beat Pogacar in the previous Tour de France TT they raced, stage 20 in 2022. I don't know that much about the sport, but gather this was a TT with a big steep hill, hence favored the likes of him. No doubt a seriously impressive performance, of course.
I'd be surprised if we didn't want to sell, £100m is a stonking profit and opens the space for our next starlet. I'm sure Chelsea will get there in the end, Boehly tends to get what he wants, whatever the cost.
This is easy, a big fat YES!
Brilliant music that will never be topped. The kind of music that will be played at the end of the universe.
Love NSC btw, the poll says yes, the comments say no. The naysayers always like to shout but the cognoscenti know their sh*t ;)
Wish you were here for me too.
Or Comfortably Numb. Ooh, tricky choice. I mean, they're both perfect.
Shine On is obviously in the mix, just because 13 minutes of such compelling music can't be ignored, and it resonates with some great memories for me.
More left field choices for me are...
Maybe. But injuries will always strike, being without Lallana, Sarmiento, Veltman, March, Webster on top of the long term injuries was hard, but could happen again
For me, the signings of Pedro, Milner, Dahoud and Verbruggen are essentially like for like swaps of the players we've lost over...
I'll just repeat what I said a couple of pages back - both sides were doing this throughout the game.
'The thing about leaving the crease to tap the pitch and have a chat is that both teams were doing it throughout the game, repeatedly and even when the spinner was bowling and the keeper had...
I'm in Borneo right now and I can tell you we're all very happy :)
I wouldn't say orangutans look miserable, more pensive perhaps, deep in thought. Although when London Zoo had to let some of their primates go for space reasons orangutans were first on the block because visitors kept...
The thing about leaving the crease to tap the pitch and have a chat is that both teams were doing it throughout the game, repeatedly and even when the spinner was bowling and the keeper had it. I remember thinking a couple of days back that you'd never get away that in a club game, but that it...
I think it's a given now that RDZ can bring out the best in almost any player, that they can play to the best of their ability in our set up.
But the ability they need is top 6 premier league, that's a high high bar. It's the levels that were set last year by MacAllister, Caicedo, Gross...
I obviously think its highly unlikely that we'll sign him, but at some point surely there will be a player out there in the world of football who thinks "OK so I'm earning 200 grand a week, but I'm barely playing, the manager's style isn't suiting me, my once-promising career is stagnating, I'm...
