We only signed him so Gio had a mate. There was another too. Defender.

I seem to be the only one who is ok with that lineup. Looks like a 4231 with the players who can counter their pace.

As always, fantastic. As always, I read every word so stop apologising. Hhope you're well too.

The opposite to me. 500 singers in SS1 cannot compete with a noisy away end under a roof. Their songs don't spead to the other 500 singers on the opposite side because they can't be heard, and so the rest of the stadium don't have a proper leader to join in with. The rest of the stadium mainly...

Very good assement. I'd also add that we#ve had 2 or 3 relatively poor transfer windows. You hope to get 2/3 right but we've been more like 1/3 (at best)/

"Aging squad" is perhaps a cliche but what I mean is that several of our most important players are on the decline and we haven't replaced them. We are sort of saying the same thing.

Yes to the injuries and fatigue, yes to the slack, but this is more than a blip. This is a team in decline due to aging players and poor signings.

View from afar: I thought this was another shining example of why the new stand is the only chance of ever improving the atmosphere significantly for the run of the mill games. Those in the singing areas seem to think that the atmosphere was OK but almost nothing spread around because you...

Agreed. I thought your post earlier in this thread was good about the problems we are having with fitness and age and I’m hoping that some will iron themselves out towards the end of the season. Holding midfield is of course the biggest problem, along with KDB.

We’ve won so much and been so great that in a perverse kind of way I’m looking forward to seeing how Pep takes on this challenge and turns this around. There won’t be any treble this year but having gone so many years winning the league and falling short in the champions league, I wouldn’t put...

It sold out weeks ago. I listed mine over a week ago and it was sold within minutes. I’ve just put the phone down to my dad who has just listed his 2 because he’s 82 and can barely walk and doesn’t like the weather. There will be literally thousands who can’t attend today for various reasons...

You’re doing it again. Stop it.

I remember that. That was the very last MR derby.

Just realised I put “Claremont” when I meant the Sherwood. That was the gathering point.

Even if we were found not guilty 115 times the government wouldn’t allow them to inform the public because the amount of piss being boiled would burn a hole in the ozone layer big enough to render the planet uninhabitable within hours.

Football fans say some ridiculous things but that’s up there with the stupidest.

And we know enough about him now that he will always do well enough to get further extensions. That's the point. The truth is that there are no concievable circumstances where Pep is released by City, so the "one year option" is just PR to head off some of the "This is his last year" problems we...

It’s fuck all to do with Man United. Won’t affect them one way or the other. It’s arsenal and Liverpool who’ll be devastated.

He’s got the option of as many years as he likes. It’s basically meaningless. Not that I’m bothered, I’m just happy to sign him up.

Absolutely brilliant news. Not wanting to be a downer but I’m not sure “option of another year” actually means anything but it sends a nice message. Piss boiling everywhere.
