Safe to say them top tiers won’t be open anytime soon 

Looked loads of Empty seats in west where you men go and north 

Dunno why but I always got the impression that 98% of people on here were east side and now for no good reason  i'm now thinking the bloke who gave a Divine Brown shout in WSL was Casino.

Aye saw that too. It was panto villain rather than any real malice from us lot. 

I can't think of any other time I've been to the match and everyone to a man has been 100% behind the team. No screaming at wayward passes etc. Can see why they want that environment at young kids football! 

Very calm on the bench also, quiet instructions and not too many.  No yelling at the ref or fourth official even when some tasty challenges when in from theirs. Zouma wore a few late ones, never complained. 

just a note to all our "fans" who didn't go today , why?

your club is on it's arse and needs our support.

no excuses  be at the next home game

Wow, what a game and occasion.

I got home at 6.25 and then watched Vinco's livestream of the British Miler's Club races at Stretford, which only finished a few minutes ago. I had thought of going straight there, but was far too emotional to be stood there for 3 hours.

I'm not sure at all about the second one.

Be sure about it. I was in line with play and it was off.

I think there was a shove on the defender as well as a marginal offside which I reckon the ref blew for

More likely because he hand balled it.

Just 3 reasons to disallow it then.

I agree on the possible shove and handball but the replay shows that he was onside as it hits the player it ricochets off. Who cares though, on a day like today?

Absolutely cracking afternoon. Anyone who missed this missed a treat. I think Coventry though it would be pushover but soon realised it was not to be.

Credit to all these young lads. They'll sleep tonight.

They will all already  be in beddy bows after a well deserved glass of milk.

I beg to differ. It was offside. The camera angle doesn't show anything like a square-to-the-pitch angle so you'd be guessing just as much as the Coventry fans.

The stadium used to have cameras permanently rigged up for goal-line technology. The wire sheathing was still dangling from the fittings today but the cameras have been removed. My guess is they were on semi-permanent hire to the club and the owners have taken them before they become someone else's asset.

Felt a lot cleaner without them. They were on rental along with the screen but I guess they could get rid of the boards a lot easier than the screen.

Officially the lowest league crowd at the ground

But not actually the lowest crowd.  Just ticket sales, 2 different things.  If we're talking "officially", Arsenal get 60k on every week.  And kids paid £10 each today, normally its about £3.50 a game with a season ticket, if it was £10 far fewer kids would be dragged to games.  Great turnout to watch a team that would expect to lose to Macclesfield reserves, never mind their first team.

Weren't we told the BWSA bought the screen.

I was fairly level and thought it might have brushed his arm.

Not half.

So much better with McCann and spooner in charge.

First time he’s shown some passion, well said parkinson 

Couldn’t just give him the credit, then?

He’s shown passion in abundance just by sticking with it through our most difficult period since the early 80s. 

He’s a hero for me. 

That Lad alongside zouma won anything thrown at him

 

 But that lad in centre midfield

number 14.

class above him

Id have shown passion if I’d turned up week after week and done fuck all at work.
