I can give you a number of a woman that can lick them into shape. DM me.

I love this interview. I love the interviewer so committed to his club, and with so much knowledge about Sokes time with them. I love the fact when Stokesy was asked about his move, he shifted it back to loving his time at Aldershot. He seems like a genuine lad and I hope it works out for him with us. Don't that stand (yes, stand) look ******* amazing too!

Didn't know that, but he was very genuine in what he said.

This is nearer the mark that calling it lies. You just can't be totally transparent about everything. Sometime information can only be shared when it's right to. I'm with LM on the emotional control stuff. Others on here took that to mean emotionless, and I couldn't be arsed to counter, but this is what I took LM to mean. It irks me when players get so irate with a perceived error by the ref to, say, 'incorrectly' give a free kick to the opposition, that they lose all control and prefer to continue arguing with referee rather than retreating and getting on with their job marking their man etc. The opposing team then have a chance or worse score as a result. Or when a defender gets beaten by a winger their ego is so crushed they feel they have to make a suicidal tackle in the penalty area to try and regain their pride, and give away a needless penalty. Both cases where unchecked emotions get in the way of doing their job and the whole team - and we as fans - suffer as a consequence. A City classic was Orr's headbutt. Obviously Bradley was troubled by his impending court case at the time, so his overreaction was understandable to some degree. (Love the lad for coming on camera and fronting up that he was out of order. Massive respect for that).

I thought the ref was great. Her body language exuded confidence, she was decisive and as other have said she got almost everything correct. Thought the aggression shown Huddersfield players in response to the penalty decision - particularly the blond lad - was out of order.

@kiwicolin Thanks for sharing that. Love a Bovril. Grealish is a top lad.

Agree with OP. On the whole he hasn't done as well since coming back from injury, though he is contributing to goals so that's a positive. I always thought one of the No 10 roles would suit him (certainly more so than Knight) as he can spot a pass and he's one of our better finishers. Quick too.

I was at the game. Leroy who?

Hi My daughter was down for Easter and I wanted to transfer a ST to her. (She used to be a season ticket holder before going to uni). Unfortunately I didn't know about the 3hr cut off before the game and left it too late. Why do we have this cut off? It's not uncommon for friends to have things crop up last minute - COVID, childcare issues - so the cutoff can be a pain. Surely, the ticketing system is bright enough to figure out a digital ticket has been already used and won't let you forward it after it has?

Leaving the field of play to dive into the supporters is one thing, and I can see why that may be bookable. I never agree with the 'antagonising' opposition fans though. The poor delicate little flowers that are able to gesture and chant abuse at players all game, that can't take it when they get some abuse back. Surely, the most antagonist thing is scoring in the first place!

Why exactly is it a booking offence? Most players wear an undershirt anyway so it not like they are exposing themselves. If it is to do with not showing the sponsors name when all the cameras are on them in the moments after they score, then surely this should be a financial penalty dished out by their sponsor rather than handled as a booking. If it's to reveal a political message then perhaps that is one thing, but if it isn't then there shouldn't be any any booking as far as I'm concerned Just let the players celebrate the moment.

@Lewisdabaron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dassler_brothers_feud Do you know the history behind Puma and Adidas?

Should've at least gone with Puma.

That's funny. I live next to two dicks with a dog. Have no idea what they think of Max's goalkeeping performances, though. Very good keeper. Exudes far more calmness than Bents ever did.

I didn't realise I had to forward a season ticket 3hrs before the game. My daughter is home from uni and needs a tickets for her. Any spares?
