Living the dream

Oh blimey i must have totally misheard what Steve Bunce said on the post-fight podcast then 😂

That's good considering your previous post! I've found it hard going the last month or two for some reason, seem to permanently have cold-type symptoms and just never feel quite as strong as i was previously. Winning the mental battle and making sure you actually go out is the main key to...

Hopefully some smaller team comes up via the play-offs and some of the established clubs stay in a downward spiral (Derby, Huddersfield, Bristol City etc). I reckon the teams coming down will largely be on par with Norwich and Watford going up, though we're guaranteed a thrashing from West Brom...

I'd like to see us strengthen in defence and maybe add an improved 'number 9' and creative midfielder. Overall i'd want to see us aiming for a finish in the top-half of the table as momentum seems to be vital (how many seasons did we gradually sink in this division before finally going down)...

Mayweather's an all-time great but Canelo was pretty young at the point they fought, i'm not sure a 'prime vs prime' would really work with these two given the weight he's boxing at now. All the same, Mayweather was truly awesome at what he did.

I think Saunders was up on all 3 cards, which is going some when you're fighting Canelo in Texas. The problem was that he didn't deal with Canelo stepping up several gears in the 8th and he got a busted eye socket from the sounds of it.

Looked like it was already yesterday

I thought thismight get a bit boring and slow-paced today, happily proved wrong though! We look a bit sharper than Millwall, hopefully we can make it count with another pretty soon.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Lived in Newport for a couple of years and I don't remember it being any worse than back here in Cov. Had a few disagreements with people at the queues for the Severn Bridge tolls but you get the same behaviour anywhere traffic stacks up. The problem is the widespread existence of weapons with...

Derby's takeover looks to be in doubt now too? From what i recall Wednesday have large numbers of players out of contract over the summer so there's likely to be alot of unsettled performances whilst a new squad gels next season too.

It's about huge amounts of money and staying 'relevant' in some way, that's all.

They're a founding member of Europe's Greediest Bastards Club, of course they don't want to share the ball!

Isn't he basically saying that we wont have a bigger budget than anyone currently in the league (that are staying up) and therefore the best we can possibly do is be higher than the promoted 3 (and in all likelihood may be lower than some of them even)?

I read about that, seemed to be on the basis that a presence there would antagonise the Iranians but they seem pretty angry already to be honest.

Like the sound of Montsma. I think overall we probably want to bring in 6 or 7 players but im hoping that at least 4 or 5 of those are aimed at improving the starting 11 and the centre-halves are probably a key area to do so. If he's left footed and quick that really would be perfect.

Which wouldn't be sanctioned by our more powerful allies you'd have to presume. Meanwhile the poor fuckers in the middle languish in Iranian jails.

Yes, i'd presume that desperation is probably a big factor in our apparent lack of leverage over them too. I don't really have any idea of how it could be fixed to be honest, total shitshow of a situation.

What's Montsma like? Seems to have scored a few and looks like a tall centre-half, but i've never seen him play. Stockley was a player i'd hoped to sign in the past, does seem to have struggled at this level but i do think we'll be lucky to sign anyone 'proven' in this division anyway. It may...
