Whilst all you fine people were enjoying the best game of the season, I decided to do a 92 club weekender. Im currently breakfasting in advance of being incognito at Elland Road today, but yesterday was at Pride Park.
I know everyone has the same chants but this has got to be the worst Allez yet:
"They docked us 21 points, and we dont give a Duck (word replaced). Cos we are Derby County, and we are going up..."
Theyve got history, cant they put it in the song like we do?!?!
Plying his trade at Gillingham and sporting a vikingesque beard and shaved head combo. One of those footballers whose career passed him by through constant injuries, sad really.
First trip to Plough Lane yesterday, really cool ground. Felt clean and shiny, lots of smart innovations, and the in stadium pub was great. We sampled a Crazy Gang IPA, but about 8 local beers on offer. Couldnt then believe the couple behind me went for two pints of Stella. Philistines.
The mission remains the same - handle our business, and what will be will be.
If we play anywhere close to our best, we win the majority of our remaining games. If that happens, we get 90 odd points and its still not enough for top two, we tip our hats accordingly. Whoever finishes ahead will have deserved it.
Let's focus on what we can control, which is to make FPR rock today. Maybe even get a song from the Churchmans, this isnt lawn bowls you are watching
Don't think this is a great look for Leicester. Incident was Friday, so they must have been aware and played him Monday, simply as their shortage of midfielders was more important to them.
Four of us went to Stoke today. We couldnt get four in a row, best we could do was two blocks of two with a stranger in the middle. No matter we thought, I am sure they will move so we can sit together.
Get to the ground, and the one in the middle is... my cousin, who lives in Manchester! I knew he was going but not where he was sitting.
Honestly, what are the odds?!
Also, not won since the new sleeve sponsor. Is this our grey kit curse??
Gaggle of ten year olds behind me with their dads, in the aftermath of Mavididi's goal, one of the boys shouted "go back to your home you black c**t". Didnt report it as not sure who owned the pre-pubescent voice, but honestly couldn't believe it. So sad and ashamed to hear from our own fans.
If you are the owner of said child, please choose another team to support, thanks.
Firstly, given the massive financial advantages the promoted teams have over the rest, they should be embarrassed everytime they drop a point in this league. £100m in free money, double it by selling two players each, and keep the rest of your prem squad. Ridiculous.
But... what Id love is when McKenna inevitably trots out the same old "the goals are disappointing to concede", could he not just fix it? Be good to get some kind of proper answer as to what is being done to address the weekly turd soft goals.
Having watched the EFL highlights, and now two games today, I am struck with just how often scorers deliberately go over to the away fans to goad them/shush them etc. The West Ham guy has just done it twice in a row when his own fans are all around. Do you think this should be legislated against? Obviously, very rarely does it cause an incident, but it would be very easy for something to happen (Grealish in the Brum derby for example), and it's just asking for it really. Plus it is totally classless.
In american football they have a lot of rules about how you can and can't celebrate. From playing in Britain, it was anything choreographed or towards an opponent got you a flag and a 15yrd penalty. Should there be yellow cards for this in football?
Break in play, Harry Clarke wanders over to cobbold side to get a drink. Norwich number 7 comes over and motions "I'll have a sip after you". Harry finishes, screws on the lid, and just huzzes it back to the sideline and silently death stares the guy.
Any danger of a sensible answer on this? Weird Brenner didnt ask KMc about it? Really hope this isnt another Hirst "We've been told to say quiet" situ and he has been recalled...
First ever trip to Brisbane Road today, Orient vs Barnsley. Orient should have won, toothless upfront (pigott).
Main point of interest was El Mizouni. Very impressed. Looks muscular, calm, intelligent, imposing. Ran the midfield and didnt put a foot wrong. Nothing spectacular but just consistent smart choices with the ball.
I think we will be ok if he ends up being the next Morsy. Cos he's The Miz, and he's awesome!!
