I 💙 Jamie and I 💙 Kasey

Yeah, there's fair criticism for individual performances or specific weaknesses, but we do also get ridiculous serial attacks on some players (as per your OP), and I'd be amazed if they were oblivious to it.

The effect of groaning from the stands has been discussed, but I reckon social media knockers (!) with a constant drip feed of negative critiques have at least as much potential impact on a player’s confidence. It’s naïve to think that opinions expressed on places like this don’t filter through...

From Matty?

It's difficult to answer because we don't know whether you'll get your wish for Gyokeres to be sold.

Maybe it’s as simple as that, but how often does an individual person just buy a football club? I’m no expert, but I doubt whether much of the Sisu money came personally from Joy, and I doubt whether much of the money now belongs personally to Doug. We never get told who the actual investors are...

I'd google for that sensitive gel for ladies, but I'm too scared of the ads that Nick might start serving up to me.

It looks like the average manual wage in 1968 was £22/week, but the average top-flight player got £59/week (equates to about £1140 today). I imagine going to Arsenal Bobby Gould got more than that, and would have been delighted with maybe four times the wages of the man in the street. Now a...

No, as explained above ticket which cost 4/6d in 1967 was 22.5p in the new currency, and that's less than £4.50 today after taking inflation into account. The £90,000 for Bobby Gould (1968) equates to about £1.75m now.

4/6d is 22.5p So you, PVA and Deleted member 9744 would all get in together for 67p

Although I've given you a like, your amount seemed too high, and having looked it up I think 4/6d in 1967 would be £4.47 now? And for that you got Bill Glazier, Gibbo, Dave Clements and Bobby Gould... Edit: and a win nearly every time!

Yes we are now, because of the win, hence its importance. 4 points from playoffs and 12 from relegation zone, as opposed to 7 points from playoffs and 6 from relegation zone (having played a game more than those teams) if we'd lost.

Dottie and Rose, next season's centre back pairing

Wilson 7 – not much to do, but did it right McNally 8 – made a big difference in the air and looks ideal. Hope we can sign him up. Doyle 7 – can only remember one error Panzo 5 – his worst game for us I think, but did well to stay on the pitch after such an early yellow Norton-Cuffy 6 –...

Yep so a new penny is 2.4 old pennies, and 2.5 new ones is 6 old ones! I was there when all this new fangled metric stuff happened, as well as being at the incredible Wolves game. Anyway, it didn't cost much to get in ...

Let’s split the difference and say a defeat would have been a partial disaster, comparable to wetting the bed but having a mattress topper in place.

It's actually 22.5 pence, but I'm high on the result too so let's just enjoy the evening :D

That's very plausible, because it would be rare for photos to be taken outside the ground like that, and even rarer (in my experience) for people to be climbing over walls. The enormity of that game would explain both. Edit: 1967 I believe. I'm in nit-picking mode this afternoon ;)

It's not 'as it happens' though is it? It's because we won, and that's why it was so important. We were sliding and now we're back on an even keel.
