Thread | Derby games/ policing/ load of old crap about nothing really
at 19:58 16 Apr 2024
So I see Southampton are at home tonight against Preston, in a pretty-much 'must-win' game to keep their automatic hopes alive.
20 miles down the M27, Pompey need a point against Barnsley at home to get promoted (currently losing 1-0, eeek)
Two pretty big games on the South coast.
So that's 30k at St Marys, perhaps 23k at Fratton Park - Hampshire plod presumably fairly happy with all that. Midweek evening games too.
Imagine us and the Norfolk dickheads playing at home on the same day, much less of an evening - East Anglian plod really aren't much good, are they.

.... that was, in all honesty, carnage. My brief take on it, if anyone cares....
Leeds - horrid game, at a horrid ground, full of horrid people. Yep, ref didn't help, and perhaps if those early Chaplin/ Broad chances go in.... in all honesty, though, a stinking day at the office, akin to the WBA game. Not too many positives, other than McK will take the experience and learn from it.
Leicester - Hirst injury highly unfortunate, and highlighted how important he is to this team. Possibly a little intimidated by the Winks/ Ndidi/ KD-H midfield first half, but we looked fine second half, and a draw was fully justified. Our full-strength 1st XI can compete with the best in this league....
QPR ..... whereas our 2nd XI struggle to compete with the worst. Yes, QPR were quite a lot better than I expected them to be, and Begovic had a blinder - but Ladapo and Ball are big steps down from Hirst and Morsy. As discussed previously, no idea what is going on with Williams - I can't recall such a dramatic tail-off in form from a Towun player. Humphries looked good 2nd half, out of position - but a hugely frustrating night.
Stoke - annoying not to do more with a man advantage for 25 minutes, but Schumacher is a very different (for which read, better) manager than Alex Neil, and I'd wager that Stoke will become difficult to beat at home, as with Plymouth before. Broad not quite at it, nor Burns - but this small squad of players have excelled for 4 months now, and they need some help....
.... and so I guess now its over to Ashton, to mirror KMcKs achievements on the pitch. Time for him to step up.
I thought we fell short in the summer - Scarlett in as a replacement striker on the last day of the window cannot have been the plan, and obviously the pursuits of Ellis Simms and Auston Trusty were unsuccessful - and, of course, FFP is geared towards seeing Saints and the Yorkshire grime promoted alongside Leicester. That said, you would expect that backing will be there if needed; can we replicate the success of last January's window?
If so, then the 2nd half of the season will be a sensation.
Uppa fckin Towun. [Post edited 1 Jan 17:46]

... goodness me, that was some performance.
Been wondering for a while now why he hasn't been pushing Clarke harder; tonight showed us why.
Something doesn't look right, there, at all - absolutely miles away from Preston, where he looked sublime.
Anyway, onwards |

I've had more than a few doubts about him - but holy hell, he was sensational tonight.
I mean, they all were - but Harness, big up, you made me look stupid (again).
Just a berserk good performance. First 60 tonight as good as it's been since the Burley years.
It's starting to get interesting.... |

Bloots' interesting post about Chambo and Huws' budget clothing emporium got me thinking...
... I saw Chambo, Huws, Stephen Ward and someone else (maybe Oli Hawkins, or someone else suitably forgettable) in Nandos, around the time we were all Eating Out To Help Out.
Huws had a chicken breast pitta, no idea what the others ate. Ward spoke with an Irish accent, which tallies with his nationality.
About a year later I saw Dozzell Jr in the same restaurant eating green olives. He didn't talk.
Otherwise, the only other sighting of a footballer I am aware of in a restaurant, was the picture of Neil Thompson and Tony Vaughan in Manna's Cafe, eating fried breakfasts. |

... obviously not applicable in any way, shape or form to the mighty ITFC, as we will win every game against the other 23 minnows, all of whom will be grateful to share time on the pitch with our god-like maestros.
We will be Champions by Valentines Day.
Anyway.
I'm saying Wendies, QPR and West Brom to go down.
Chansiri is an actual lunatic; QPR are a horrid mess, and the Baggies' owner doesnt care, at all, about them - pretty gloomy.
Can see Cardiff and Rotherham having an unpleasant time too.
Warnock will sort Hudders out, again, and our needy friends from Devon will be absolutely fine, I think, as long as they hold onto Schumacher.... |

Who was the last one? Surely not SBR/ England?
Burley obviously had decent jobs with Derby, Southampton and (I suppose) Scotland; all after we'd sacked him though... |

... that's, perhaps, the biggest upset of the season.
FGR were utter, utter cannon fodder here the other week; one of the worst sides I've seen at PR.
How on earth have Wendy lost to them?
As mentioned by others on here, that's thrown automatic wide-open again.
One point from the last 9 for Wendy - what a time to have a wobble. |

... Yanks not renowned for their patience, and this extremely expensive team are heading backwards.
It makes no sense. How can such an intelligent, verbose man, not be capable of reacting to change?
Every other team in the league have got our number. Sit deep, give us 65% possession, watch as we create nothing.
How the fck are we 4th?! [Post edited 14 Feb 2023 21:54]

... don't do that again, please, Towun. Really odd thing to do. Bit of Hey Jude, bit of Super Kieran McK, fine.
Nice that the volume in the NSL has been switched from silent to deafeningly loud.
Football quite good though.

... 4 minutes of the team basically crapping their pants, and a daft, daft end to the game.
We've defended like arses these past 2 games; all 6 goals this week by the opposition have been stinkers. 2 weeks now (effectively) to work like hell on the training pitch to sort it out.
4 times this year we've given away 2 goal leads; that has to change.
Stupid game.
We will fix it. |

... all 3 of ours were brilliant, weren't they?
Feeling that Edwards/ Leif/ Humphries link-up going on; I love Edwards, defenders in this league are terrified of him. Cracking finish by Hump too.
As for their two goals - bloody hell... horrid. Reckon McK will be having a quiet word with the Wolf and Ball today....
Team celebrations with Hump made me grin. Strong squad, this lot. |
