That's pretty unusual for you, G? You usually nail your colours to the fence - Ryan Haynes comes to mind! That said, I agree with you on this one. Edit: he was probably the best player for getting on the end of attacking corners at times last season. Has a decent leap on him.

My son has a Grade 9 GCSE in Maths ( plus 10 other Grade 9s and 1xGrade 8) But....he cannot tidy his bedroom ( looks like he's been burgled), can't cook anything other than tortilla chips with melted cheese, and has an average 'go to sleep' time of 2.30am. When next I get to speak to him ( when...

No...shoot him🤣

Extra TV money, cash flow positives from cup run, ST sales, wages saved from departing players, Grendel's loan - not sure Sheaf has to go based on that.

Agree sometimes it can be during games, but beforehand around the ground and pubs, there is the 'buzz' of an event taking place, which is a million miles from rocking up at home to Walsall, Port Vale, Southend and co a few seasons back.

Great knowing you're going to be going to a game with a big crowd and an atmosphere week in week out. Good for the youngsters that they will feel they're at an event with a buzz, rather than being dragged up there in a 12k crowd or less of a few seasons back.

'Fake' family zone members/ill health, deaths (sadly) and some people relocating in the country/unable to travel. There will always be an element of the above unfortunately. Not looking forward to the day when I am finally persuaded to move to the coast and face that dilemma (assuming i don't...

Yep - remember the arguments supporting a reduced sized stadium, which would have stifled any potential growth in the fanbase - and guess what has happened!

The (in)jury is out for me.

Still got the most positive reviews from pundits and the manager, of all their players tonight.

Some clubs charge fans (Arsenal, I'm pretty sure) to be on a 'waiting/ballot' list, whatever. Not sure how it works, but think they are then entered into a ballot for when tickets are available, so they effectively shell out a chunk of money, yet may never get a ticket. Nice little earner for...

Play footie with a lad who has just bought 2 x STs for him and his lad for the first time (usually does a now and then pay on the gate). I think the match day experience/atmosphere of bigger crowds has encouraged a lot more to commit to buying, plus they're not worried about having to scramble...

sparse / effect - love you Clint , but don't drink and post.

Disagree about one point. We do not need a player to ' keep the ball'. We need players who will attack the last man. That's what is so painful about watching Southgate's sides. It's the overplaying of attacking phases with umpteen passes before anybody considers committing an opponent. It wastes...

Commentator made a good point that we've lost an aerial threat, too. We never looked like winning a decisive header in their box.

It's the 16 passes around the edge of the area that ends up once in every other time with a cross, Put it in early first time (cutting out 10 of those passes) and you'll create more chances by the law of averages, It's almost as if some players think 'as long as I don't give it away, I won't get...

If it stays like this at 90 mins, it will be an embarrassing send off and an interesting 'atmosphere' Edit: If we do well in the Euros, it will be despite Southgate, rather than because of him.

How are they getting in behind us - embarrassingly easy.

For me, it's the number of players only wanting to 'not give away possession' when playing under Southgate that drives me mad.
