Bris Red

Proper!

Whether to get his hair done in Turkey or over here perhaps?.. (sorry couldn't resist )

Indeed. The cynic in me however cannot help but feel that the powers that be want every reminiscent of the Nige regime out the building as soon as physical possible irrespective of their ability. We all know how integral James was to where Pearson wanted the club to go both on and off the pitch, let's hope that the politics and Tinnion and the rest of the hierarchies ego's don't get in the way of keeping a player who is absolutely crucial to us. It's an absolute no brainer for me to offer him at least another year..

fair play that defending is absolutely shocking

Credit where it is due however i am reserving judgement on Manning untill we see a proper upturn in results and not just another flash in the pan which this result could very well turn out to be again..

Fair play to everyone involved, fantastic performance.

what a goal and what a performance from Anis..

stonewall penalty. shocking decision.

hell of a start from us to be fair

Toney is the better footballer for me. It feels as if a team isn't built exactly to play to Watkins strengths he seems fairly ineffective, you need to be more versatile than that at international level IMO. Add to that Toney's fairly incredible penalty taking record which could prove invaluable in tournament football i totally agree with you that he should be second choice behind Kane.

Hahahah Welsh *****

Class from Jude. Overall a decent performance, we were the better team overall IMO!

It's a shame as going forward when we have everyone fit i don't think there is a better team in the world with the options we have. Unfortunately defensively and at goalkeeper we just aren't good enough IMO. When was the last time we had a genuine world class keeper??

Why Tomori never gets a shout a centre half is a baffling one..

Awful from Pickford.

Gone far too much the other way now though IMO, of course we all want to go to a safe and inclusive environment when we go to football but the whole match day experience at 99% of football clubs in this country has become far too sanitised.

Certainly an accurate assessment, can't argue with much of that. The scary thing is i genuinely feel the Lansdowns are fairly happy with treading water at this level. We are still averaging well over 20,000 each week at home and we have the brand new stadium and training ground that they have always wanted, plodding in mid-table and the occasional cup run suits them fine IMO. The problem is as Ipswich showed a few years back, you cannot just keep treading water at this level and will eventually have a poor season and go down. It feels like we are just sleep walking into a relegation sooner or later.

Indeed. Nothing more than a graphic design/artistic choice as you said. For balance the st george cross they have put on the socks is the traditional red cross. The traditional 3 lions crest on the shirts also hasn't been altered!

Huge improvement on the current shirts. That away one is unbelievable

They can **** off. Won't be getting another penny out of me anytime soon.

This for me unfortunately sounds the most plausible way that i can see it going. We have seen them double down before and blindly just think that throwing money at it will help the situation, rarely does in football. The only other way i feel the trigger could be pulled is if we get an absolute thumping by somebody especially if it's at home. Without ever wanting to see City get beat if Leicester pumping us on Friday is the catalyst to make SL act then i wouldn't be against it - as horrendous as that is to admitt..

What i find staggering and completely and utterly baffling is that he literally did all that only to suddenly do a complete u-turn. It finally seemed as if the Lansdowns after years and years of showing how incompetent they are at running a football club had finally realised that people like Gould/Alexander and Pearson are the calibre of people you need at your football club ir what you want to be successful. We now have a manager learning on the job and ******* Brian Tinnion above him. It's a ******* disgrace.

Time to act now IMO, if the Lansdowns and the Geordie had any shred of credibility they would hand their collective hands up and admitt they have got it horrendously wrong with this appointment.

******* state of him.

Just seen the score, no surprise is it. Manning out followed by Tinnion and the Lansdown's. We are an absolute shambles top to bottom.
