Re: Weekend football - 6/7 April 2024

Outside the top 3, the PL really isn’t particularly good this season. The fact that we’re only 2 points from 6th place after everything this season is pretty laughable! I mean good for us, but shows an absolute lack of quality.

2-2 - that was a strange feeling as I don't think I've ever cheered a Livarpool goal before! <scratch>
Tbh I’m more happy that dropping 2 points hinders Liverpool’s title chances.

Re: The F1 Thread

Quite a decent race considering it was another routine red bull win.

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers

Pleasing ! Take it and roll in Seven points out of nine is an acceptable return from these three fixtures. For a squad that is right under the pump it’s credit to all involved in keeping us ticking over I’d say that’s an excellent return tbf. If I was offered that before the West Ham game I’d have ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Cottagers

I just saw the FT score so can pretend we dominated and deserved to win…

Seriously tho, this team can easily be challenging for top 5 if most (not even all) of our injuries aren’t as bad next year!

Re: Champagne

Happy 40th! I’ll be joining you next year.

Not bothered in the slightest by champagne tbh. Obviously mainly had it at weddings where it’ll be cheap s***, so would be interesting to compare it to something “good”.

Jesus Christ Chelsea are s****.
Blind pundits fapped over them when they beat us even tho we were absolute **** <laugh>

Punditry across the board is so reactionary. One win (however it comes) and they’re like “much improved, turned a corner” blah blah.

Perfect timing for the Chelsea Vs Man Utd match as I've been struggling to get to sleep for the last few nights.
Should have watched some of Brentford v Brighton last night!

Re: The Match Tickets Thread

For anyone travelling to games, I stayed at the Hotel Balmoral on Tuesday night and it was only £59 + free parking. 15 minute walk to the stadium (pretty much straight), rooms were spotlessly clean, big bed - no complaints at all. There's a curry house attached to it, didn't eat there but seemed pr...

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024

The best part for me was that the ref was actually shown far back enough to make a sensible decision, rather than badly selected frames. You wonder why referees rarely seem to ask for the replay to be rewound further back rather than the replay shown to them which invariably begins a microsecond be...

Re: Midweek football - 2/4 April 2024

Referee was sent to the monitor in the Brighton game and DID NOT overturn his initial decision on a penalty! Only the second time that has happened - hopefully see more of this. Just because VaR say to the ref they think he’s made a mistake, some things will (and have been) subjective so it doesn’t ...

I bought this seasons home one in the club shop this morning for £21. The only thing they’d run out of was bags so I got given a bin bag to put it in, read into that what you will ;)

Re: Days lost through injury

Apparently Hall just had tiredness / cramp so should be ok for Saturday you’d think with 3-4 days to rest. Probably won’t last the entire match but at least if we can get him for an hour or so it’s a bit better. Don’t think anyone else is expected back <erk>

Re: Days lost through injury

I think Sanchino's point was also with consideration to the CB injuries, and given 2 being out with ACLs, Burn should be playing there instead of LB ahead of those other options. Not that I want to speak for him, but at least from my perspective I wouldn't necessarily always select all of them ahea...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Toffees

Yes, I think that all things considered, if we finish 8th along with 2 cups quarter finals it hasn’t been a bad season. If this team on its arse for 80% of the season with an entire first XI missing most of the time can do this, then if/when we sort the injuries next season we should comfortably be ...

Re: Matchday thread - Toon v Toffees

I mean it was a penalty all day long. We look gassed. Started well, but it feels more and more like Howe relies on the first 30/40 mins to see games out against teams. Everton grew into it and we just lacked ideas in the second half. I hate to use injuries as a thing, but I do think we'd have had e...
