    Bums on seats

    I remember going to Leicester for our 2nd game of the season & hearing that we had sold Huckerby and being really pessimistic about the season. A couple of days later it was reported that we were trying to sign Robbie Keane & the world was suddenly a much better place!

    Bums on seats

    Keane didn't sign in time to play the 1st game, he made his debut against Derby in our 4th league game of the season.

    Wasps go to bottom of the pyramid

    It really is disgraceful that a company can fail owing this much money and the owners, who probably have a lot of this money, can just try & restart the business in another name & not have to pay their debts. 🤬

    Season tickets for 2024/2025 season

    On Sunday I told my friend that I wasn't renewing as I couldn't justify having one and only attending 8 games like I did last season. Just bought 1 for me and 1 for my son!

    So every time the fixed term rate ends you potentially move to a different lender?

    Things that annoy you

    The rate of interest could change with my first couple of mortgages and did quite a few times (black Wednesday anybody when it went up from something like 10% to 15% in 1 day!!). The interest rates were commonly around 8% and never as low as 4-5%. And you could change lenders during a mortgage...

    8 Years ago today

    That was the League Cup game and the club put on loads of coaches at a subsidised rate. The driver of the one I was on didn't even know where Oldham was and was heading to Liverpool until I told him that is was in Greater Manchester. My last time there was a dreadful 0-0 when Pressley was...

    Things that annoy you

    Excuse my ignorance on how mortgages currently work but what happened to getting a mortgage for 25 years like I did when I bought my first 2 houses in 1985 & 1988? Then the only choice I think was an endowment or a repayment mortgage. It just seems crazy to me that houses are now bought by...

    According to BBC Man Utd will only qualify for the Europa League if they win the FA Cup. I thought if Man City win it then the next placed team that doesn't qualify for Europe (8th?) goes into the Europa League

    Tesco parking

    We parked twice at Tescos & spent £50 both times but never got a ticket. Someone told me that you can park at Burger King for 5 hours.

    In summary

    We need to improve massively on our own set pieces and defending set pieces. Our corners are very poor with very little variety and having 4-5 players attacking the front post and nobody on the back post seems really basic. Having all players back to defend a corner seems to be a modern trend...
