Bad is kow-towing to the crowd, bad is punishing one team for everything and the other nothing, bad is falling for every piece of playacting/time-wasting going etc. Maybe 'pretty good' was a tad generous on my part, but we've had far, far worse this season than Gillett
Thought the ref was pretty good last night, but unfortunately he was the wrong type of ref for us for that particular fixture, because he let Sunderland foul our lads with complete impunity, to the extent that we lost 3 players to injury and nearly a 4th when Doku was a victim of the worst...
Well though Gonzalez has done holding the fort, the difference last night after Rodders came on was palpable. For a man making his first start in months, he was magnificent
I went on Monday. Thought Wimbledon were going to give us a tonking based on the first 15 mins, but thereafter we pretty much controlled proceedings and deserved the win. Sweens and Fitzwater were excellent at the back.
The issue for the last 2 or 3 years though has been scoring goals...
Giving the ball away the first time he touched it notwithstanding, he showed flashes of grounds for optimism yesterday. Since Pep started the current run of bringing him off the bench for the last 15 mins, he’s repeatedly burned the opposition full back for pace. Just needs to be more focused in...
I was there. That was due to the cockney dickheads rioting outside though, rather than comedic parking arrangements.
We were locked in for a good 45 mins after one of our trips to the Nou Camp as well. Spanish plod being utter cnuts as usual. It was bastard freezing and all!
Probably the longest it’s ever taken for me to get away after a game…..although Oxford away in the Carabao Cup 4 or 5 years ago pushed it close. Fucking farcical
That’s as inaccurate as it was the last time you trotted it out, the ball ultimately getting picked up by Trafford somewhere between the 6 and 18 yard boxes (approx 15 yards) and barely more than a yard off the vertical from where the Brentford lad was scythed down on the edge of the 18 yard...
Whether it was the right call or not was pretty marginal and not really the issue. Another game, another brainless lunge was the issue. And for the avoidance of doubt, I love the guy. He just needs to think a bit more!
Has some very useful attributes (most noticeably pace), but currently far too rash to command a regular starting place. Should have walked after that challenge last night and, entertaining though it may seem at the time, it’s not the first time he’s almost cost us dear by recklessly blundering...
Yeh, I enjoyed it too. Not sure how much scope there is for a Season 2, cos it was all nicely wrapped up, but I believe there was more than one book in the series, which all focus on the Zoe character (as played by Emma Thompson)
