  1. That looks hastily cobbled together. It also looks like a nervous man forced to try to justify a terrible decision. He’d get a lot more kudos if he just came out and said that they’d had their difficulties behind the scenes and the working relationship couldn’t go on rather than spout all that bollocks. No one believes him so it just makes it worse.
  2. I used to live in Madrid and was an avid fan of Rayo Vallecano while there; their fans are not shy about having a protest. When the Spanish tv started influencing the match schedule to ridiculous levels they weren’t having it. Five minutes after kick off in a subsequent fixture there was a mass exodus till half time with a banner unfurled on the terrace. A walk out sends a strong signal.
  3. I very rarely post on here, but have to add my utter disgust for this decision. What an absolute farce. The worst decision in Lansdown’s tenure by a country mile. Shame on the decision makers involved in this.

    New Away Kit

    There’s been a deafening silence with regard to the release of the new second strip. A number of people are holding on to see what it looks like before purchasing their top for the season, or arranging their child’s season ticket shirt. Could the club give an indication when it is going to be released?
  5. I went. It was either Cheltenham Town or Gloucester City. My memory is pretty shoddy. I had a schoolboy trial for City on the same day as Charles and Diana’s wedding at West Town Lane. They narrowed down a decision on taking on one more kid out of two of us. One was me, the other was a lad called Wayne (I think) Tainton. Turned out he was Trevor’s son. He got in and I missed out.
  6. True, but we now have some depth to our defensive options and they can’t all play. If we keep Kalas, I would play him ahead of Atkinson. In a four, you could take out Dasilva and play: Wilson, Kalas, Klose, Naysmith. If you change to a back three, you could push Wilson and Dasilva on as wingbacks (arguably more suitable to their skills) and play: Kalas, Klose and Naysmith. Tough on Atkinson, but it is healthy competition for places. If Kalas goes then he is next in line, for me.
  7. This is not likely to be the numbers they get, but given our signings so far (including Wilson, hopefully) and that Nige has insinuated that he would favour a back four, then this would be the team, for me. 1 Bentley 2 Wilson 4 Klose 5 Naismith 3 Dasilva 6 James 8 Williams 7 Weimann 10 Scott 11 Semenyo 9 Martin
  8. As a comparison: Emmanuel Dennis is being sought by Brentford, who value him around the £20 million mark. He scored 12 Premier League goals and bagged a further 6 assists. This would suggest that Semenyo would be more realistically priced around the £15 million plus add ons mark to me.
  9. You must check out Haro if you are able. The epicentre of wine! Cune, Ramon Bilbao and Lopez de Heredia are highlights.
  10. They are superbly supported, Bilbao. I used to live in Madrid and followed Rayo Vallecano. About 11 years ago, on the day they played each other at the Theresa Rivera in Vallecas, me and the lads were having a few beers when literally thousands of Bilbao supporters descended on the area. This is unheard of normally as away support isn’t usually small over there. We started to worry that things were going to get very tasy, but it was all apparently arranged. The Rayo boys and the Bilbao lads all proceeded to going on a beer, spliff and pyro march around the area in solidarity over their left wing views and their joint hatred of the fascists: Real Madrid. An unforgettable day of football, before and after.
  11. Anyone over forty should have little reason to congratulate them. They can shove their dubious promotion up their wife abusing manager’s poop schute. Just because Cardiff have been our chief adversaries for a generation, it doesn’t make it ok to dish out platitudes to that mob. F‘kem.
  12. I put that too, Nick. Weimann, Scott and the Weimann hattrick. As good as it is to have broader exposure for the womens’ game nowadays, the unfortunate truth is that very few voters will know any of the lady players, rendering it guesswork, if voting at all in those sections.
  13. They can be in contact with the police though. Then things might have become a bit more challenging for those idiots.

    Kalas

    Absolutely imperious today. What a dominant performance. He won every header and as always bravely put himself about to protect our goal. Not sure how he got a seven in the Post’s player ratings. A nine for me all day long. It is vital he stays fit now. Well played Tomas.
  15. Indeed, but those cards were generous. I thought it was pretty even up to that point, possibly with Klitchsko shading it due to those middle rounds,
