Just keep thinking about the rags and the laughter should keep you warm.

Do they still play the national anthem at the end? I've not been to the pictures for years, and that was the reason people left early.I know it seems to be a trait lately at football games this leaving early.
Might start doing it when I'm at the cinema.

Fair enough, I’m on the last row of CB2 towards the Family stand, I have never heard anyone boo but that’s just around me, my hearing isn’t 100% but it’s a bit of an older generation in there, @meeesh sits not too far away, he may be able to confirm. We have been known to sing, one of my favourites was “La La La La Summerbee” :-)Sorry HC I am definitely not having a pop at the CB stand, some fine Blues in there, including you, Eccles Blue and Oakie! I am in the Family Stand level 2, doing my best not to swear in there lol, and I definitely heard booing, and do so every game and it seemed like it was coming from that direction, which is what my equally disgusted kids thought too. It only takes a few idiots (trying not to swear) and I fully appreciate 99.9% of those in your stand are fine upstanding people (some of you even cheer and sing lol)
We played well but we didn't have to go above third gear in the end because Everton were just that bad. Shapeless without the ball, clueless with it - any "threat" they posed died when Gray went off injured. It should worry their fans that Palace and Southampton gave us more of a game. It was actually quite sad watching Seamus Coleman.
As for us, not one bad performance out there. The major standout was Rodri, whose goal I genuinely feel privileged to have seen in the flesh - the rest were just quietly professional and got the job done. Sterling looked the closest to his normal self in months, Bernardo and Gundogan were classy and busy, Palmer gave his best display so far.
We're entering the phase of the season now where the best start to pull away from the rest. West Ham, Villa, Watford, Wolves, Leeds, Newcastle, Leicester, Brentford are our fixtures. 24 points available; any less than 20 and I think we might look back on the Christmas period as a missed opportunity. Let's keep the run going.

You could actually see that in the second half for a brief period some point after we'd gone 2 up. A 'well-oiled machine' doesn't even describe our general mode of play, it's like a work of art.
It's amazing to watch and like the rags game the opposition can't get the ball if we continue to do it. Only when a player holds onto it too long or tries to dribble past players does it break down and at times cause us problems.
They stopped about 40 years ago.Do they still play the national anthem at the end? I've not been to the pictures for years, and that was the reason people left early.

My local fleapit was next door to a pub. Nobody ever saw the denouement of films timed to finish at 10.35.

definitely don't do it at the Light Cinema in Stockport :-)
Great cinema if you ever get chance to go btw
The amended role for Bernado makes all the difference. Pep strikes again.I think when Rodri plays well it shows that the system is working as Pep wants it to. i.e. he can use his strengths and not be caught up in races against players breaking on us.
I am not saying that he is a poor player that needs special treatment but that like say Jorginho and unlike peak Fernandinho or Kante he thrives when part of a midfield unit designed to maximise his abilities.

Just googled it, as I'd never heard of it! It seems I pass it every time I drive to my daughter's house in Edgeley.
I learn something new every day.
