My MOTM. He was everywhere. Tackling and positioning, used the ball well, an incredibly mature performance from the lad, great first start for him. He already looks like he has all the attributes, brilliant performance.
I'm not in a battle, neither am I ranting uncontrollably. I'm just wallowing in their pathetic demise, and sincerely hoping that it continues. Their injury time playoff defeat to Plymouth was utterly DELICIOUS, as was their catastrophic last-day failure at Accrington that resulted in Oxford...
I've just discovered The Dead South. I'm not going to listen to anything else for a month, they are MAGNIFICENT
Just check out a YouTube wormhole of them. I'm a sucker for acoustic strings. The bloke on the banjo is something else, as is the guy on the double bass.

A VILE little club who cheated their way to success and are still reaping the consequences of their rampant catastrophic profligacy. They didn't deserve the FA Cup. They didn't deserve top flight football. They didn't deserve Europe. What they DO deserve is to languish in the noddy leagues...

He's already had a mini-grizzle about the vast Caicedo-sized hole in our midfield at Villa Park, in the wake of that particular catastrophe.
I'm sure he buys into our ongoing strategy, but only to a point. If we continue to sell the Crown Jewels, leaving him with teenagers...I don't think he...
I'm quite happy at Thursdays ko time thankyouverymuch.
Its my BIRFDEE, so I've secured a notional day of "WFH". I'll log off around 3.30 and mince along to Shoreham for some beerage and nosebag at the Waterside to take the game in.
Scenes.
Indeed.
It was so clearly NOT just going to be used to correct the "clear and obvious" errors. I, and many others, said that once it was introduced it would be the thin edge of a stonking great wedge, and so it has proved. Its micro-managing so, so many calls. The onfield refs are now totally...
