I remember reading Gary Waddock once saying that the biggest piece of advice he'd give to burgeoning footballers is to always be aware of what you want to do with the ball before you receive it.
Sounds simple, but in practice a lot harder to achieve in reality, particularly the higher up the ladder you go. And that's the sort of skill that separates great players from good players, and good players from average players. And average players from bad ones, and even the bad ones are miles better than Sunday league cloggers like I was!
Sounds amazing Streatham, glad you and your daughter had a great day! For all their faults as footballers, I do like our current squad as people, I can't say I see any of our players currently and think they're a bit dickhead-ish.
I've done the stadium tour just once, when we played Hull in that title winning season, long time ago now. Be interested to see how much has changed, I'll do it again one day no doubt.
I've said it before, but the Reddit Championship forum is well worth visiting and time spending on it. Handful of idiots, but for the most part its outlook and style is very similar to this. Lots of humour, lots of memes, and reasonable and balanced chat from fans of all the different clubs in the league.
Facebook/Instagram and of course Twitter are cesspits, just yesterday I saw the QPR post on Facebook about the tournament Rainbow Rangers took part in at the weekend and the comments left just disgust me. I had to just close a browser down before I started arguments you're never going to get anywhere with with all the cretins posting some of the most hateful crap on it.
I've easily been reading LFW for nearly 20 years now. I briefly had a user on what must have been an old platform around 2008/09 time of "Mr Foxy" when I was struggling to fit in at university and feeling really lonely. I got set on pretty quickly by another poster at the time who thought I was a previously known Watford supporting WUM turning up to cause more havoc. I do remember Northern coming to my defence on it as he could see I was genuine and had no idea who this Watford guy was....so thanks Northern haha.
Can't remember when I set this user up - it was silent for a long time then in the last couple of years I've posted more. I try not to post too much after games, I'm generally too annoyed after I've seen us lose and don't want to lash out, or when we win I'm too pleased to worry about coming on here and going "yaaaayyyy..." or something similar.
I think it inevitable Marti will get poached from us, but I'd rather it be to a Spanish club than someone in our own league (or them idiots above the border).
Let him go to Real Betis or something, I could face that more than having him turn up with bloody Middlesbrough.
I know some people hate the 12.30s but they're actually for me, in a selfish way, the least worst option. Helps with the travel and I get to run Wormwood Scrubs parkrun which is always a treat.
Given the ticket prices they charged I'm quite glad we weren't there - no cap for away fans in the Premier League so Leicester fans were being charged £51. Most of the fan groups decided to boycott the game and think in the end they sold 2,000 of a 5,000+ allocation.
Of course United know even at those prices they'll sell out the home end to all the tourists/day trippers etc...
