Meet up in Romford, train to London for the 12 o clock game then a night out wherever the first goal goes in of the 3pm games. Stipulations we’ve added: 1) No London teams. Just because it’ll be too similar to normal. 2) No Luton. Because it’s Luton. 3) FA Cup, League 1 and League 2 games only.
Personally hoping for one of Nottingham, Blackpool or Barnsley. Shame Newcastle aren’t playing as that would clearly be number 1 in my list of preferences
3 days off now. First Boxing Day I’ve had off in 6 years.
Am doing a few hours extra tonight overnight to finish my prep for boxing days antepost positions but having just got home, I feel like my Christmas break starts now.
So Merry Christmas to all of you and Uppa Towen.
PS - Gamble responsibly of course but The Jukebox Man at Kempton at 11/8 on Boxing Day is one of the biggest non Cheltenham bets I’ll have all year. Good thing.
BBC still claiming it’s one of ‘aviations great mysteries’ is ridiculous though.
Anyone with any studying into this knows the pilot did it deliberately.
The evidence is overwhelming and then when you add in that 3 hours after it went off radar it went round Penang for some reason - the captains birthplace - and it’s pretty clear. Even 6 weeks before the flight the captain himself on his home simulator took a flight from Kuala Lumpur and took the exact same bizarre flight path the wrong way affectively towards the Indian Ocean. That being the place where the plane will have run out of fuel and finally gone down 7 hours after going off radar.
We’re just such a better team creativity wise when he plays. Think some of our issues earlier this year came as a result of nobody linking up between Morsy/Phillips and the attackers.
Whereas now Cajuste is willing to drive forward with it and Chaplin sits in that pocket of space between the midfield and Delap.
Think we’re just a far more creative side with Chaplin showing he’s been able to step up to the level required (a bit like Burgess) whereas in pre season I was unsure if they’d be able to.
A decent boozer is all we realistically need to keep me and her happy but would be nice if one of the days was spent doing something else abit different.
We plan to go to the Christmas market and will almost certainly have a walk through the red light district (for the lolz) at some point but what else can we do? Only Monday (8am arrival) to Wednesday (9pm) so not too long. Still cost me £880 though which feels abit much! Nice hotel though.
Already know of a fair few West Ham fans round here who plan to be there.
Best thing the met could do is make sure the Villa/West Ham game kicks off at the exact same time but without a doubt it’ll be grim. Lots of Dagenham fans are West Ham.
Am doing a new thing in work. Will tweet out on our account one tip I fancy per day between 12 and 12:30. It’s a genuine fancy of mine per day, would not be trying to put anyone away.
If anyone is interested, here is todays:
A like on the tweet would be appreciated if anyone chooses to follow the account. It will be every day. Over recent weeks I’ve been on good form and the lads have suggested we highlight it by doing a tweet and then when it’s showing a profit, it should hopefully build engagement over time
Saw someone at Hersham station today while leaving work to come home decide there was only one way out. I was the only person on the platform at the time.
The buyback situation is far better for us than we all thought.
It’s only that city have the first option to match any bids we receive. There’s no specific fee set for them to have him back on the cheap. It’s just that they can match whatever someone like Chelsea offer. They have a few days to react to the bid that we must disclose to them.
Jesus wept! Poor bloke has been on social media all day with people believing it to be a fake body/halloween prank but it turns out to be a real bloke hit by a bus! With his head there for hours, picked up, juggled, teabagged by drunk passers by for hours.
Won’t post the pictures/videos obviously but that must be incredibly distressing for the family to have likely seen.
1 in 10 million chance of a decapitation from a vehicle impact apparently. Crazy.
RIP to the poor bloke. A 74 year old pensioner as well
Obviously been a tough start to the season but no matter how it goes from here, last season really was incredible.
Just stumbled upon this video on YouTube while in work and I think it’s fantastic in capturing all the big moments. What a season. What a team. My generation won’t have had anything like these last 2 years and even if we go down, nothing will change how good it was.
A thread of some great Town videos from the last couple of years might be fun so add what you find below.
I totally understand why we played 3 centre backs last season to allow Burns and Leif to use their athleticism to burn up and down the wings. They were able to get in behind teams and use their place and crossing to create loads of chances.
That isn’t happening now. There simply is no space in behind for it to work and Leif in particular now operates as a standard (albeit much improved defensively) left back. So that’s a huge weapon from last season almost entirely gone from our armoury. And you can see it with the lack of chances we’re creating. We could have played for another hour today and we wouldn’t have scored. The Clarke sitter asides, did we have a meaningful attack all game?
So with that in mind, would 4-4-2 not now be worth trying? I think it would be an improved situation on paper for two reasons: 1) it would allow Clarke to play as a proper out and out winger which is where he was superb last season. Stick him on the left and Hutch on the right. 2) it would allow a 30 goal striker last season in Szmodics to play up front in a pairing with a bigger target man type striker in Delap/Hirst. Which coincidentally is the situation that suited SS in recent seasons.
Perhaps not next week at Brentford but at home to Leicester I would give it a go. What’s the harm in trying?
