How come the match report is 'breaking news'?

They certainly have a big brewery just outside Malaga airport

Weird smell innit? Kinda nice and sweet at very first, then overpowering and a bit grim.

That's my headstone sorted!

Went to the game, neither team fantastic, thought Chiko did ok. Played exactly the same as normal would not say we was any more attacking. Sat near dug out and noticed Oscar getting frustrated now and then when we passed it backwards when there was an opportunity to go forward.

 

[JCL - the new kid in town]

Yup. I was a big fan of Poyet but I'd hate for him to keep getting dragged up, positively or negatively, in comparison to Oscar. I'm very excited about Oscar's tenure.

Surely it's not allowed to like poyet and Oscar, isn't that akin to having ketchup and brown sauce on your bacon buttie?

Which name do you use on FF?

Credit where credits due, it's pretty much impossible to get quoted from Pers, I've tried many times on here and FF

**** 4 Albion




Orlandi will be our best player by a mile this season.

Now that is encouraging. Guess it will take a while to instil an instinct of trying to get forward quicker though. Looking forward to watching what is just an evolution of our style rather than a dramatic change.

If anyone was earning 6k a week then they wouldn't be on here, probably the Bahamas or staying at their Villa somewhere in the world not glued to the internet talking about our friendly in Spain and wouldn't be posting but would be in attendances earning that kind of cash or maybe he couldn't afford a baby sitter to look after his cat.

I know people who post on NSC who do earn that

As this was the first game against decent opposition I suspect Oscar let them play the way we have been playing so he can see for himself. It worked pretty well last year, lets not chuck it all away and start again.

A good manager would see what he's got, what they are good at and how they can be improved. I suspect the tactics might be different on Saturday. Plus Getafe are a good side, Sporting Gijon are a division lower.

Just off to the training session now.

For anyone who was there, did Chicksen wear the #15 or #21 shirt? Also can you confirm that March had #27 and Ince #32?

Chicksen was 17 (Harley's number). I think Ince was 15 but I had consumed a lot of beer...

I think we are about to embark on an evolutionary period where the old tippy tappy style we've been playing is progressed to a new tippy tappy style a la Swansea.
