yeah, if we sing about George, that's 2 for the price of one!
Don't know how you get Hladky into a song
And although he gets a yes, yes, yes at the end of every game, Harry Clarke probably would love a shout out during one.... |

A reminder for all pub watchers... make sure that your watering hole of choice is showing the game, and not the Arsenal v Bournemouth game on TNT,,, |

Reply | Away end last night....

This is so true. Everyone around me was bricking it, but even when they scored, or when they were playing keep ball in the first half, we knew that if we turned up the noise, they would do it.
It had Barnsley vibes, but was if anything more impressive, as Barnsley we controlled the whole second half, and we had twice as many there.
Last night, with the tension involved, I thought that away end was immense..
You can feel the relief at the end...

Just arrived home in Manchester... still absolutely buzzing....
What a group of players. Make no mistake, they are tired, they are pushing harder than they knew they could, pushing further than anyone ever thought. But they always find a way.
Helped today, as so often by a raucous, belief filled, almost confident crowd.... at times when we struggled to get the ball, it just felt like that away end went, "ok, they're struggling, our turn" and turned up the volume again.
To those randoms that got a hug when the second went in, thanks for being part of it. To McKenna and this team of warriors, thanks for giving me so many fantastic memories...
Morsy and McKenna's Men.....
We're going up again... |

The clear and obvious thing is the big interpretation here, which we seem to have given up on. Eg, for offsides, if you need to draw a line to work it out, its level and not offside...
Similarly for foul play issues, if, after 30 seconds, you can't tell that its a wrong decision, its not clear and obvious, so move on.
I'd actually go further. I'd make it more like cricket.. so for offsides, that's on the officials, ( bit like run outs and stumpings for cricket), they can refer that upstairs. For foul play, or handballs in the box, it should be 3 appeals per side, and you have to ask, rather than have every goal looked at for something small.. |

Someone mentioned this on another thread, but there is a real theme of our players hitting the ball first time in the box. Yes we shank some into the crowd ( Al hamadi had one on Monday), but if you do strike it well, that split second you gain makes it much less likely the shot will be blocked and also catches the keeper flat footed.
I'm sure it's another manifestation of KMs coaching and attention to detail |

Noticed that they finally turned some decent performances into a big win yesterday, albeit that Sunderland were garbage.
Can't help but feel with their goal scoring threat they will offer real problems to every team they face, and luckily for us, they still have to play all of the parachute sides..
Someone's going to come a cropper against them

But it was never about being wanted here. He needed to be playing regularly at this stage of his career, and being behind Leif in the pecking order, meant that he would have hardly played. Apart from when injured he's been a pretty regular starter at Oxford, so was definitely the right move for him.
Brandon William's well documented issues are the problem... he was brought in to cover both wing backs, and his lack of availability has definitely cost us at times. |
