Rebuild the wall?

Not that it’s not possible. Just that it’s a hindrance.

He said on Friday that he’d have sleepless nights if he left us in these circumstances.

Determining, no. Contributing, yes. The best atmosphere home and away every season is the City-Liverpool rivalry. Both teams have only won one game at each other’s stadium in Pep’s time at the club. We always shit ourselves at the Anfield atmosphere, our one win came when there were no fans...

Most of the time, it’s just arms outstretched giving it ‘come on then’ and they grass you up to a steward for doing a plane gesture. Some wronguns still do the plane gesture, don’t get me wrong, but imagine grassing them up for it anyway!

It’s been the same going back a number of years now with visiting fans. Unless there’s a rowdy lot in the SSL3, the way they’re split actoss three levels in a thin strip makes them disjointed and depletes their atmosphere. If they are singing, it just sounds like a mish-mash of a few songs at...

Yes. The effort taken to break that record fourth league title in a row was what last season was all about. Once it was achieved the intensity and pressure was off and once you relax after a period of intensity and pressure it’s hard to get it back. And the FA Cup final was only six days later...

It did, I thought SSL3 were excellent second half.

They won’t be Chris Bailey’s questions. It’ll be Khaldoon’s team who put those questions and answers together. All rehearsed.

Hopefully Stones can be available next week with this midweek off. The average points required to stay up over the last five seasons is 32.4 points… two more wins and we’ll be safe!

It would only be unacceptable had we not had an injury crisis like we’ve had. That - plus the inevitable drop-off after years of high intensity - is why the form is like it is due to the results being poor off the back off the injuries and confidence being low off the back of the results.

Was it 2000? The one Beckham scored and it finished 0-1 to them. Speakers broke down before kick off and the atmosphere was quality.

They used to but their demands throughout all their protests included away allocations for proper United fans only and fuck all the tourists off.

SSL3 were excellent second half. They got easily half a dozen prolonged stadium-wide chants going from ‘Follow You Everywhere’ ‘City’s win four in a row’ ‘Champions again ole ole’ ‘All that money you’ve spent since Ferguson went’ two ‘Ark Now Here’s and a few ‘Blue Moon’s… from about the hour...

It is. It’s completely normal. Like I said a few pages back: It’s actually unusual to keep challenging at the very top year-after-year. Only George Ramsey, Revie, Paisley, Ferguson, Wenger and Guardiola have ever achieved it over more than 5 consecutive years in English football history...

He’s already said he won’t.

Why not? It’s happened to loads of teams both recently and throughout football history, not just Chelsea. It’s actually the norm.

Best pre-game atmosphere since the speakers broke in the 2001 derby.

The Hollies ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ is a much better song than ‘Blue Moon’.

He’s been an excellent signing apart from a run of games in November and December recently. He was back to his best today.
