Thread | PSG…..they’re a bit good aren’t they?!
at 17:29 29 Jun 2025
Ok, they are playing Inter Miami, but they really are a joy to watch. Play a completely different brand of football that the majority of teams play currently. It’s like a breath of fresh air. [Post edited 29 Jun 17:29]

Thread | PSG, very impressive
at 05:47 1 Jun 2025
In answer to Arteta, I think maybe PSG might have been the best team in the Champions League this season after all? Just hope more English teams watched how they play, far more eye catching than the sideways and backwards passing of the majority of EPL sides. They really looked a collective unit and a far better team without Messi, Neymar and Mbappe. |

Thread | What a shambles of a season that was!!
at 17:59 25 May 2025
So pleased it’s finally over, but I’ve been embarrassed the way we’ve been since the turn of the year. I hope questions are asked about what’s happened this season? How can a team keep making the same mistakes game after game and never learn from them?! It’s Groundhog Day watching this Town side. No home points in 2025 - woeful!
It’s certainly going to be an interesting summer for us, but we need to start well next season otherwise that pressure will start mounting. [Post edited 25 May 18:04]

Thread | Our home record makes depressing reading
at 08:28 11 May 2025
1 win, 7pts from 18 matches, 8 consecutive home losses - a new club record - no points at home this year makes woeful reading. Yes, this season was going to be tough, however I never expected us to be so poor at PR this campaign. Who saw that coming?! [Post edited 11 May 8:31]

Thread | Delap a lucky boy yesterday
at 08:45 4 May 2025
Lucky to escape a second yellow card IMO. Just plain daft from him after being booked minutes earlier. You could see he was looking at the defender and wants to hurt the player. Just so stupid from Delap, many officials would’ve given him a second yellow card for that challenge and he couldn’t have had any complaints. |

Thread | How good was Barcelona vs Inter Milan last night?
at 13:02 1 May 2025
When you watch games like that, with such high quality you realise that the EPL is all a bit too similar, so many teams play in the same way they lack their own identity. I thoroughly enjoyed that semi final, all the goals where top notch, both teams played some terrific stuff. It was a joy to watch! |

Thread | Gulf in class
at 08:23 21 Apr 2025
A term often used to compare us to other clubs in the EPL, but looking at that first goal yesterday that was nothing to do with the calibre of player or our quality, that’s simply rank poor defending which we’ve been guilty of a few times this season. I scratch my head sometimes why we don’t go out and close players down, we simply stand off them and let them shoot. You could argue the 3rd goal was similar too. |

Thread | Why is it still called the Champions League?
at 18:36 20 Apr 2025
If you can qualify for this tournament by finishing 5th?! I really do miss the old format, but that sadly is not going to generate monies for the coffers!
Change the fecking name at least. [Post edited 20 Apr 18:39]

Thread | 15pts adrift of West Ham
at 16:55 20 Apr 2025
Not just the points difference from safety, but the GD of the bottom three makes absolutely terrible reading, that tells its own story. All too predictable today, Arsenal are levels above us and yet they did not need to get out of 1st gear and that was before Davis’ sending off too.
Raya literally had nothing to do all game. These last few games are going to be painful viewing. |

Such a ridiculously large gap from 4th from bottom with still a good number of games to go. Serves to highlight the gulf. |

Thread | The joy of being in Burnley or Sheffield United's position
at 10:31 6 Apr 2025
The difference to this time a year ago and the excitement of potential promotion to the EPL. That's the feeling you crave and want to bottle up, does it get any better than that? At least both those sides (and Leeds) know what to expect if promoted, but that appears the 'epitome moment' once promotion is sealed from the Championship and the 5 or 6 weeks of the close season. Beyond that, the flame of hope and optimism soon starts to flicker. [Post edited 6 Apr 10:35]

Thread | Did Luton last season do a better job than us?
at 07:45 31 Mar 2025
Controversial I know, but I do believe Luton Town did a better job than us in trying to avoid relegation last season. Thoughts?
Incredibly, the 3 bottom sides need another 23pts to match the combined total of the 3 relegated sides from last season, which is incredible to think about it? Just serves to highlight how poor Southampton, Leicester and ourselves have been. I can’t really see any of those sides winning another game this season. |

Thread | It was always going to be tough this season to survive….
at 18:33 15 Mar 2025
I’m not one of the deluded supporters that were expecting us to cope comfortably with life in the EPL, 4th from bottom would’ve been success for me. However, I’ve been really disappointed how we have shown up in games for a number of months. No league win in 2025 and I just can’t see us winning another game this season. With the money we have spent, Luton gave a better fight than us last season and they made minimal investment in their playing squad. We’ll compete in periods of matches, then concede and ultimately capitulate. Yes, we are down, which I accepted after the Southampton game at home, but I wish we’d given a better account of ourselves, we’ve come up woefully short this season. Where the blame lies, I’m not too 100% sure? I do feel all areas need to take a fair share of the blame on and off the pitch. [Post edited 15 Mar 18:39]

Thread | Cricket - England going out with a whimper!
at 11:25 1 Mar 2025
England’s white ball cricket has been going down the drain at a rapid rate over recent years. We lack variety in our bowling attack - it’s all a bit the same - and the batting is simply woeful. What is the point of Phil Salt? Hits a 4 or 6, then gets himself out with a careless shot, generally out for single figures most innings. I can never understand this ideology of keep throwing your bat at it when 5,6 or 7 wickets down with over 20+ overs left. Why not hang in there and build a total?
I know McCullum has only recently been appointed as our limited overs coach, but for me he’s taken English cricket backwards. Other international sides have overtaken us and play a much better brand of cricket, than the crash, bang, wallop of Bazball. It really is crap to watch when we are on the wrong end of it, which appears most of the time. |

Thread | Phillips needs to start ahead of Morsy
at 18:13 15 Feb 2025
A fantastic point today.
There’s no doubt Morsy has been great for us since he joined, but for me Phillips is the better midfield option in there with Cajuste. When he plays like he did today, Phillips offers more than what our skipper does when he plays. Sentiment needs to go out the window regarding team selection and we play our best XI from now until the end of the season and for me Phillips needs to start.
