Discovered on Monday that my next door neighbour had keeled over and passed away on Sunday ( we saw paramedics and then police arrive, so knew something was up). He was a lovely man, 71, active, loved his fishing, and would always have time for natter about the football.
Its really knocked me for six.... his mum had lived with him , but passed away in December at 94, so you always kind of think that "you're from good stock", but you never know when time is up...
The last few years, I've seen a lot of "premature" deaths, and its really reminding me that we only have this time once, so enjoy it whilst you can.
One thing I really noticed last night, especially in the second half. We actually won the ball back in our half really well. And those opportunities to transition, are where teams like Forest really hit you hard, but last night it was very clear that we really weren't properly tuned in as to how we transition quickly, and we so often got caught in possession and gave the ball straight back.
I do think its something where the 3 tens need to be stronger and quicker with their hold up play and decision making, but hopefully, if we can keep the same team together for a few games, that might come.
That said, the two goals were great. Delap's reminding me of Chaplin's at Derby....
And what a feeling when the final whistle finally went.... think that might have been the longest 30 minutes of my recent footballing life!
Anyone going to be in Sale before the United match tomorrow? I'll probably have a beer or two before jumping on the tram, be good to meet a friendly face to head down with.
Or does anyone have any advice, as not been there before.
I've seen a couple of schools offering parking, and a few other options.... going to be heading north-west after the game, so currently thinking about utilising Greenfields Primary school, but wondering about any other options?
Last year, all 8 matches were televised, but they were midweek - Monday to Wednesday. This year, they are in theory on the "weekend" 1-2 March, but if they are going to televise all of them does that mean that none of them will kick off at 3pm on a Saturday?
Not really fussed how it became spare, but if anyone ends up with a spare for the Utd game, even if its relatively last minute, please let me know. I live a couple of miles from Old Trafford, so was hoping to go, but not enough priority.
happy to meet people at ground to collect, or I will be at Coventry tomorrow....
Notwithstanding the stupid name, has anyone tried this? I have an ongoing problem with cubital tunnel syndrome, that essentially flares up whenever I try and do any weight training.... I've done some simple nerve gliding exercises, which help a bit, but wondering if Voodoo flossing might also help. All the stuff I have read suggests that no-one really knows why it works, but that it does seem to help. I'm interested in any first hand experiences.
Given Raul Jimenez a place in team of the week for scoring 2 penalties.... he wasn't even the best striker on show in that game, let alone in the prem?.
And ignored Isak basically because he's been too good for too long. fnarr.
I know the club have said that as part of their anti touting policy, they will do ID checks at the ground, and select some people to have to retrieve their tickets at the ground. Has anyone ever seen this in practice?
I'm just intrigued, as I've already spoken to multiple friends in Manchester, who have miraculously got tickets for the City game through friends/family etc. So essentially seeing in practice what we all knew would happen with the priority system.... i.e. those with priority cementing their advantage by always buying a ticket, even if they don't want it, and then moving it on.
