Always wary of misinformation on there now. However, the silence on this from the usual suspects shows a lot about what they really care about.
If anyone happened to catch the journalist on the News Agents podcast who covered the original trials and exposé, he was incredibly compelling in his account of the initial difficulties covering grooming gangs.
The recent move by the opposition to ruin the latest bill to protect children is incredibly shameful. I wonder if it is to distract for the problems in their own community?
He’s struggled so much for us at times, but getting clear and hitting the post like that was so unlucky. For it to trigger the move for the penalty too is salt in the wound.
Will it show fatigue in the squad, need for rotation or attempts to make something stick? Lots of speculation there will be players brought in from the cold tonight doing the rounds. Hopefully Arsenal didn’t damage us in anyway
All those near misses and we finally go up, European football, giving the Prem a wake up etc. Makes me appreciate that era all the more now we’ve come full circle and the difference is so stark.
Dale Roberts was also one of, if not the nicest blokes from ITFC I’ve met.
Hard to know what to make of that. A defeat is a defeat, Wolves really rubbed salt into the wound yesterday too.
Phillips is an enigma. The quality was there tonight, it’s all about his belief isn’t it? He looked at it and fancied it and it makes a difference, he and Cajuste really stand out. Likewise, we changed the defence and looked really well drilled. The shape, the movement, the job on odegaard deserved more. But that goal was disappointing, woolfy made a bizarre decision for me, Johnson sends his man the right way an average cross comes in, and Woolfy looked to me like he could have headered it.
You could see Arsenal getting frustrated and there were moments you felt the corruption conspiracy theories might make sense. Fouls and 50:50s just not going our way ever. There are also some people turning up to games forgetting players like Saliba and Gabriel are up there with anyone right now. Delap, Omari et al aren’t just going to blast through them no matter how much we wanted them to. Hearing them slating and getting on the backs of our lot was disappointing. Hopefully I just got unlucky to be close enough to hear it all game.
Whilst it feels like we might be getting forced back down by the sheer weight of the task to survive, I did think there was a flexibility from McKenna tactically and in terms of mental attitude we’ve not seen at this level. Whether it was pragmatism from who was available or the humbling from Newcastle, it felt a very different team to the one that crumpled at West Ham for example.
As for the emirates, that was my first visit. You can see why people love this type of stadium, it’s all very computer game looking, there’s a bit of a theme park feel with the different overpriced kiosks and toilet blocks outside etc but the tourists and the like is not for me. I didn’t even use my padded seat because people came over for a chat at half time. As for that dreadful song they sing at kickoff…… made the Etihad feel like Galatasary away.
Been busy the last few days so missed this. Dead at 59, seems like more and more acts from my teens are disappearing. This song was everywhere on Kerrang! Tv and the like I seem to remember
Seems the battleground for the blokes identity is more important than who he murdered. But if Elon has tried to cover up this sort of thing, it makes the question over his meddling in US/UK politics pretty troubling too.
Or has it just all gone wrong for him today? The step up in quality here is so big. Omari and Chaplin barely held the ball today. Taking one off hasn’t helped much.
Even our better players today Cajuste and burgess have made errors in the last two goals. I dunno if this is just one of those days for a promoted team or not.
