Tactical time out Wolves style
at 20:20 20 Jan 2025

Use your keeper and you dont lose him off the pitch for 30 seconds. Genius.

Perhaps Peps teamtalk was something like...

"This chap McKenna has been getting too much publicity and has put some shade on me being the master manager. Lets bloody show him how good I and WE are. "

That would have worked.

First game with no bookings this season for us?
at 13:08 20 Jan 2025

It was a strange performance. Not especially bad, we just didn't seem to be as physical as we are sometimes.

I think the 2 Ben's on the right played ok. Just that doku and de bruyne were very precise with their passes. Perhaps we let doku run too much without tackling.

The worst thing for me today was...

The manager did like for like subs. Surely he could see the system we used was well beaten. City looked like they studied us well. They new when we wander down a dead end we switch flanks. They picked us off twice doing that second half. Clarke's pass and I'm not sure the other one.

I think I'd have removed Clarke for Townsend and pushed Davis forward for a change. And perhaps put 3 in the middle of the park.

1. It gives the reserve players a chance to play in a stadium with more than 200 people watching.
2. It gives people who don't have a season ticket more of a chance to see some football.

Remembering the fan who had it in for Darren Currie
at 19:03 6 Jan 2025

With that kid constantly shouting into the one legged poddle at yesterday's match got me thinking about people whose vocals stood out over the years.

80's churchman's had the chap "come on towen". Which I assume is where our more modern version of it comes from.

And then later on in the north seats there was a chap who dispised Darren Currie. No matter what happened he found a way to blame DC. I'm sure there were others.

Advice needed for return flight to asia
at 11:23 30 Dec 2024

Hi chaps. Long time (8 years) since I have had a holiday overseas and I would like to get a return flight to an Asian island. I have found one that kind of suits me for around £800 from an online company called Skyscanner. Now are these kind of companies legit? Back in the day id often get this all done with a travel agent, but my family owns an apartment on this island so all I really need is the flights. Do I go with said random company and pay on credit card to use the section 75 protection or do I go to travel agents like the old school way. Flights are with Malaysian airlines which I think are ok.

Wout Faes in January anybody?

Always looks a strong player when I see him live. Van Nistelrooy does not seem to rate him. For me he'd be a great addition to the team/squad. Solid player.

Very odd match so far
at 21:02 27 Dec 2024

I'm not really sure what our game plan is at the moment. We are working very hard for nothing so far. Arsenal are mostly walking around and we are running our socks off. Hopefully the manager has a killer system in mind for the final 45 minutes.

We are certainly still in this. Just we haven't really done anything yet. lol

Strangely Newcastle's goal were all opportunist
at 15:20 22 Dec 2024

We all came away from yesterday's game thinking we got out battled, out run and generally out done for most of the 90 minutes.

But looking back on all 4 goals they were all kind of freakish. First goal I'm not really sure what big cam was doing. Looked like he thought he could control it and take it away, but as the ball got closer changed his mind to clearance. For whatever reason he does nothing and Murphy is through. If you watch when the ball arrives to Isak we are fairly well covered. Defender is close, keeper is in a good position and other attackers are clearly marked. Isak decides to hit it as hard as he could and it kind of goes straight at keeper and over. Unstoppable shot with more luck than judgement.

You can kind of repeat most of the final part of goal 1 for goal 2. Again everyone is fairly well marked, keepers position is good and Murphy from a very similar position kicks it as hard as he can and it flies above the keeper into the roof of the net. Perhaps you could argue for both they should be closed down quicker.

Goal 3 is keeper played it out to Jen's (like we did many times in the game) Bruno does well to smother his turn and the ball drops to Isak and he says thanks.

The last goal was even more bizarre. Murphy gets himself in a bit of a knot and improvises by doing a back heel in the direction of Isak. Now what is weird about this is that we had 6 or 7 players well positioned and the back heel misses them all and falls kindly for Isak who toes it home.

Strangely enough Newcastle missed 2 or 3 big chances where they played great footie and missed sitters. Anyway have a look back at them and hopefully you will see we were blissfully out of luck with what happened.

Cue angry comments back as people do on here without debating their point. Worth a watch.
