Our trajectory is exciting….
at 13:11 17 Sep 2023

Great trip to Sheffield, lovely to see Kelham Island booming. Gardeners rest, Fat Cat, the Tavern and Wellington all going strong.

Shame the match day experience at a once great ground couldn’t match those of a nice ‘creamy’ pint at the aforementioned public house. From start (picking up tickets) to the game/finish (toilets overall state of the ground) shows how Chanseri is running the club at an incredibly low cost, does it remind you of anyone?

It highlights how lucky we have been with the new owners, and how they’ve not really made a misstep so far. Only enhancing my excitement this season, on to St Mary’s now.

My March report:

Now the dust has settled and I’m on the train home, review time:


On the whole an assured victory, with Sheffield Wednesday barely laying a glove on us & not having a shot on target!! Upon reflection i was needlessly worried having not got a second goal - though we had several chances and on another day we could have been 3 or 4-0 winners.

We had moments of controlling the game which resulted in some great team/individual moves - the one back-to-front where Ladapo should score - and the other where Hirst shoves a man off the ball, wins it high and should pass for an easy 2nd.

For me Burgess was man of the match, they had countless corners and free kicks (which we gave away softly) but burgess and co dealt with them all. The only half chances they created were from our lack of concentration/error.

Morsy/luongo as good as ever hunting in twos and if one misses out, the other sweeps up.

Davies going off with an injury that looked quite serious could be problematic but Williams came on and impressed.

Remarkable to see how both clubs have reacted to being promoted, and we should be quite smug with our trajectory in comparison (especially with their noise throughout last season). Dare I say their match on Tuesday V Boro is must win?

15 points from 18 is quite sensational really, even the more positive fan couldn’t have predicted this start, I see we’ve already matched the number of wins we had in our relegation season.

Stewards Last Night
at 13:46 26 Jan 2022

Why were there so many stewards/security last night?
Why did half look under 18?
Was it a council requirement?
Why were they all watching the game and not the safety of fans?

It was all very odd.

P.S I sat in block 116 near the scoreboard and 4 massive coins behind me who wouldn't stop slapping our backs and shoving us. Hope they never return to support my club Ipswich Town

What has happened to the club I loved?
at 11:00 4 Mar 2020

Honestly speechless.

Last night signifies yet another fall in to a deeper hole. A hole I didn’t think could get any deeper. What happens next in the hands of this disgraceful owner?

A manager who makes 6 (six!) changes and a debut for a lad who has never seen the bench. In a must win game!!!! Poor McGavin been treated like that and to take him off after 45mins.... if that’s how he treats our young players I fear for the future of our young side, especially if Lambert sees more than the end of this season!

Ultimately however, he leaves two/three of our best players on the bench (wolf/sears/bish). The man is utterly clueless, doesn’t know his best XI. Like I have said before Lambert is definitely not the answer!

I can’t even merit one player from yesterday. Not one showed an ounce of passion or drive in this ‘must win game’.

Absolute shambles and with the fixture list of Cov and Portsmouth to come at home, this is still going to get worse/ more painful before it gets better.

Stadium:MK Screens
at 09:55 19 Sep 2019

Anyone else find that when the 4 huge screens advertised anything with a white background it changed the whole scenery and colour in the pitch?

Found it rather irritating and still fail to find use for those things unless they put highly of the game in them.

Knusden Fist Pump & Book reading in the crowd (!!)
at 14:29 29 Apr 2018

Really great atmosphere at the end with all players coming over. Did anyone manage to get a video of the fist pump?

Also, spotted in this in the crowd yesterday, simply, the best thing I have seen at a football match :


She was nonplussed when we scored our 2nd and 3rd, of which, I have video evidence for too!

Also, also, I had a keen interest in watching the Reading players reception for their lap of thanks for the season, after that display, but, i think they waited for all of us to depart (unfortunately)

My Biggest Fear Next Season…
at 12:47 6 Jan 2018

Although we are only 7 points from the play-offs I can see the season petering out to nothing, especially after our recent form.

I can also see McGoldrick leaving — I think it is time for him to move on, with his high wages I would be surprised if he signs again. Also, Webster & Bart’s (if he is still here) future will be cast under more doubt in the summer. Skuse will follow MM if he leaves — although not world beating he is key to our (current) style of play.

However, my biggest fear is MM leaving, going to a team with the money and ambition, and storming the league. A team like Notts Forrest, Hull, or Barnsley, as they have just been purchased by a large conglomerate. I can see plenty fighting for MM signature. He will then give the two finger salute to ITFC when he returns as a “this is what I could have done for you”.

FYI, I am still undecided whether or not I want MM to leave. On a weekly basis my mind is constantly changing.

89th Minute winner and a bitter manager
at 19:28 28 Oct 2017

What a terrible press conference to have when your team has just won away in the 89th minute. Awful state of affairs. Whenever you try and have some sympathy for the man, he just alienates everyone by being such a dick. You can tell he’s sooo pi$$ed off that Celina scored but bringing on Bru and Ward ahead of him when you’re 1-0 down, come on!!!!. You really feel that this squad is capable of an awful lot more than he is getting out of them. His failure to build a midfield in 5 years will be his epitaph however much there have been good buys and positives (Mings, Webster, garner and Waghorn for example) along the way.

West London pub for tomorrow's game
at 17:25 16 Jan 2017

I am just a sucker for self promotion. I run a pub called the latymers in Hammersmith/Barron's court area. I will be showing the game tomorrow night on the two screens and with commentary through the speakers.

As a fullers managed house we have the typical west London drinks range on offer pride/olivers island/frontier and such like. Also have a Thai kitchen attached to the back if you are hungry.

Cheers,
Your fellow blues fan
