Thread | Still rueful about Fulham

The margins man. J Clarke's shot goes in and we're not only two points better off but it gives him much needed confidence. There's a hell of a player there. Needs a little luck on his way stepping up.
Add to that... Omari out for Brighton and City at least, presumably. Another gutter, cos we can get something against B&HA before settling into a spectacle against the resurgent (?) cheating club. Really need Delap and Hutchinson fit. Feel we need to keep some momentum and aye, trying to take each game in isolation and on its own merits but that gets harder when we look competitive (and win and almost win)... and start scrutrinising the table and other teams.
Could do with that striker asap innit. |

Anyone know when they go on sale to ST (non member) holders? Can't see details on club website. Ta. |

Never mind Saudi Arabia 2034 for a moment, what is this all about?
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/live/c7vezrd1rj6t
"2030 World Cup co-hosts will be confirmed as Spain, Portugal and Morocco, with the first three matches held in South America."
I suppose the uncynical and simple answer is, er... it's a world cup competition. Doesn't sit right. |

Thread | West Ham United
at 16:07 4 Oct 2024
I used to like the Iron. Similar to Town in many ways. An old school, family club, with a lot of nostalgia and blurry eyed talk of bygone days and especially players. A club many neutrals who simply like their football had a soft spot for, sort of.
Last time at the Boleyn would have been when Reuser scored to beat them. Can't remember anything apart from the goal and that the away bar was dry at half time. What the jeff is that all about? But anyway, a proper ground with a good atmosphere.
Fast forward to the London Stadium. Sorry, not much better than MK Dons. Stratford isn't in West Ham ffs, or that near really. I guess it's all relative right? And this season's taking away all concession tickets. Corporate profit prickery of the lowest order.
I liked West Ham, in as far as one can like another football club that isn't your own. I know some of their old time supporters agree with me that now, nah, not for me or you or them. A wry smile if they are relegated once again and no one turns up any more at their non football stadium.
Such a shame. |

Good that the club initiated the visit, nice one ITFC.
Certainly puts the debates over tickets in perspective. |

Thread | Much worse than the performance on the pitch
at 10:19 17 Jun 2024
Mowbray and Shearer made a good fist of making Matterface, Tyldesley et al seem competent. A worse pairing I cannot imagine. They were absolutely awful. Mowbray seems to have turned into Alan Partidge and Shearer is so biased and blinkered it's untrue. I don't mind Shearer as a pundit, though he's not great, but as a commentator he is unequivocally rubbish. |

As Fungers and others wrote, that really is the icing on the cake. If WBA win the playoffs it's even more hilarious but frankly who gives a fook right now.
Have lovely weekends one and all.

Thread | McKenna
at 08:03 1 May 2024
Yeh I know, a million different threads on the same topic, but it can't be stated enough how fackin exceptional this manager is. Reading his post match presser gave me goosebumps. He's so calm and measured and respectful, and honest and knowledgeable. I loved this in particular -
'Asked how confident is he that the group will get it done, McKenna responded: “I’ve got a lot of belief in them, that’s for sure and a lot of belief in what we’ve done and the consistency we’ve shown and how we prepare for games, how we concentrate throughout games and how we get our identity out there on the pitch that gives us a great to chance to win games.
“So I’ve got a lot of belief in all those things and, of course, that gives us a great chance to get a result.
“But at the same time, I know it’s a football match. It’s two teams in the same division, one team who were in a lower division the season before. A Huddersfield team with a lot of good players, proud professionals, who are going to come to do a job to try and stop us, so anything can happen in the match. I don’t expect it to be all smooth sailing or all to go our way.
“Everyone’s going to have to cope with that, there’s going to be tension in the game for sure, as there is at this stage of the season when you’re fighting for things. It’ll be about doing enough of the right things to give us the best chance to come out on top of that.”'
Cool as fack.
Epic peak banter for Towen if we get turned over by the Terriers and Leeds eke out a point. Is Epeak a word? It may become so.
One game at a time.
