Chair v Barnsley when we came back from 2-0 down.
Didn’t Willock score one like this too? |

Aaah the black & white world of the internet, where nuance and shades of grey have been consigned to the dustbin of history.
I enjoyed watching Nevin as a player, tho I was glad when he went to Everton as it was then easier to appreciate him. I've also managed to appreciate Charlie Cooke, Gianfranco Zola and one or two others who've played for that lot. I do that while still having a far greater dislike for Chelsea than any other club.
I also enjoy him as a pundit, and respect both his politics and his musical taste. I find his 'blind spot' on both Terry and being on Abramovich's pay roll very disappointing...but hey, find me a football fan without several blind spots regarding their club (tho I'm with Cider on the lowlife that is Barton, I felt embarrassed / offended in equal measure when he played for us).
The book's been recommended to me, I'll probably get round to reading it, and just mutter 'tw@t' whenever he speaks well of Terry... |

....while how he's regarded by Mari is indicated by Field / Colback starting ahead of him for the last few games last season.
He certainly played his part in our turn round, but I don't see him as what we need now tbh. Field is only 3 years younger - come the start of next season, he'll be 27 and can surely play the role of the experienced head in that part of the field (no pun intended). |

Agree mate, reads fine on paper.
What about the dodgy body language, has he got shifty eyes etc...  |

For most of the game, once it got over the half way line, it was guesswork - spot the ball stuff. Know a Foxes fan who was in the opposite end to us who had the same experience.
Regardless of the result - that's pretty $hit for 28k paying fans. |

Playing devil's advocate here...but given the hit & miss nature of ALL transfers...and a realistic goal being, say, between 50-70% becoming solid first team regulars...and one in four becoming an 'asset' we can sell on at a serious mark up...does it really matter which ones fall where in those stats?
Yeah I know we are potentially stuck with the wages of a Madsen or Celar for some time or may have to sell them at a loss...but IF, say., that was countered by Morgan, who cost nothing, getting sold for several million, and so does Varane...and we get 3-4 decent seasons out of Nardi, Morrison and Dembele...would that make us look back at summer 2024 as a decent window? |

Well that's between one and two mill more than I'd heard / read previously - which just goes to show when "these things get out there", they do so in numerous different versions. |

I'm pretty sure its roots are in a story like this.
Still homophobic tho, and therefore crosses a line imho.
Most fans (Rangers and others) self-police with racist chants, no need for club emails or tannoy announcements. It seems we're still a long way from the same being the case with homophobic songs - and the media still questions why gay players won't come out while still playing... |

I thought Luton was genuinely dangerous in the first half. Luckily at half time lots of people used some common sense and it seemed to sort itself out.
I think some clubs give you the choice of two parts of the away section - further back (for those who want to stand) or nearer the front for those who'd rather (or need to) sit...as in, Rangers would do that, not the host club.
We were near the front at Brizzle...was nearly all either 60+s or families with young kids...but four or five old enough to know better blokes insisted on standing and blocking everyone else's view. |

I've never forgotten that Huddersfield game.
You were very exposed to the elements in the open away end in their old ground. I recall biting sleet throughout, and a howling gale that I swear to this day changed direction at half time, leaving us playing into it both halves... |

Pretty sure there was one of those Faurlin-esque first time / round the corner passes to Smyth vs Watford during his cameo...but I may be both imagining things; and clutching at straws... |

Agree 100% T.
On Monday I sat in SAR instead of my usual spot in R Block - partly cos I wanted to look out for exactly this.
First thing I said to my lads (who'd been in R) after the game was blimey, you can see from that vantage point just how well Marti has drilled them - tho clearly there are still moments when certain players struggle to execute orders. |

No doubt still embarrassed by his pathetic attempt with the second goal - yeh he was wrongfooted, but it still squirmed over the line at snail's pace. |

Haha was watching Redknapp Jr “punditing” last night and he said something inane about what coaches should do to improve their teams - I instinctively yelled at the screen, “your old man never fking did that!” |

I think we could put out quite a strong team almost by default - eg I’d expect JCS, Edwards and Colback all to start cos they need minutes. That’s not a bad spine to start with.
I reckon Nardi, Dunne and Smyth the most likely not to feature. |
