marple whites

I thought he was great. my son got his shirt after a crap away performance at stoke, took it the following week and got him to sign it as he came in through the hotel. top bloke, top player.

Apparently can get them up to 1-00 Saturday

Not boycotting, just not going - dodgy it is

Saturday lunchtime for me on the way up to the game

But also the risk of sending off (handle outside box, last man and bring someone down) I get it when you could only name 3 subs, but he doesn’t use all his subs anyway most of the time. so not buying his reasoning.

Exactly the same thing I said after the final whistle

So good when he scored and shoved the keeper into the net.

On reflection, quite solid. 2 great saves from traff. why no sub goalie when you can name 7? Stupid and / or ignorant. Missed 2 guilt edged chances, jones and Charles. Too many long balls and so little created by midfield for attackers to run on to. (And I have been crying out for Morley) good teams win that game. just frustrating. if you have seen the Charles stats (us and Ireland) just not good enough. sadlier plays a fraction of the time and nearly the same. for me dapo will leave in jan and we will have ballsed up big time. last 10 games we have been shite and still 7th !

Chance after chance for Coventry, thought it was going to be one of those nights…… never mind 😀

Few lads near me are in Bredbury, man city’s supporters club and have had tickets for every away this season (including Europe) They can take the tickets every week as will easy pass them on if they don’t go. problem we have, is we aren’t at that level, but if we were, you could have someone getting tickets to all games that hardly goes to any of them - so is that fair? I do think loyalty should be rewarded, but there are so many loop holes and ways round whatever system they choose to adopt it will never be perfect (just better than we have)

People will watch any games over Xmas with a few cans rather than talk to the relatives 😄

Off to Milan on the Wednesday for the Napoli game 😎

Yep, old school. Driven over from Stockport to queue up in the early hours many a time.

And they were poor to be honest, stoke had some good chances. away at Swansea and then Coventry next

Was behind the goal for England v Tunisia in France 98

What a great watch that spurs Marseille game was. atmosphere was something else and a real tale of 2 half’s

Crashed I think

Jesus

Why do we not shot out more - typified by the run into the box right on half time and instead of having a crack turned away from goal. So frustrating. got what we deserved yesterday - hats off to them and without there main striker. an overall poor month when you consider the respective positions of the opposition.

See Portsmouth fans saying Oxford were the worst team they had seen for a long time, wasting time and feigning injuries. we need to score early for once.

Sheehan turned that game and think Morley responded when he came on as well. great technique for bakas goal. thought we had started really well first ten to fifteen, but like usual if we haven’t scored, we then start to change the way we play. they tried every trick in the boom and why wouldn’t you if not getting pulled up ? At one point they had 2 players down, regained possession and they both jumped up !

Sunderland at home, then Portsmouth away ?

Thanks all - tickets sorted today

Cans and dodgy box for me

Chalk and cheese those 2 halves, but still missing guilt edged chances in the first half. thought Dempsey was outstanding aa was dapo second half. iredale was asking for the towel late on second half and the linesman said to him “your fans have thrown it in the roof” his face was a picture. oh and Hamilton jumping in our end to get the ball (as they didn’t waste much time did they !) getting dogs abuse from this bloke and he just glared and pointed at him. finally at full time a few of their under 10s offering us outside….. very entertaining day.
