  1. And not even the bloke who tripped him up!
  2. But those clubs are at a different point in the cycle of improvement/stagnation/decline that every club goes through. Have those clubs had to slash their wage bills like us? Or had to sell millions of pounds worth of their best talent to keep FFP happy? Or deal with the fallout of a reckless CEO? Or try and deal with all that and play proper football rather than resorting to lump it, percentage tactics? Luton and Millwall have been on a steady, upward curve in the last year or two - we've been hurtling backwards over that same period, you can't just flick a switch and regain the sort of momentum they've had. Which I'm sure you know. Both those clubs have also recruited well to a specific, coherent gameplan - we haven't been, we've been clubs-in-the-bag scattergun! Until recently... So you're not comparing like for like I'm afraid, annoying as it is - and ever was - to see tinpot types out-performing us.
  3. Best player, i.e. better than Scott? More consistent than Scott? Interesting. (I take the point about most improved)
  4. Yep, I can vouch for a visit to Leopardstown being a great way to spend a weekend Punchestown and Galway still on the bucket list ?.
  5. Midweek, away from home, third game in 8 days, tons of injuries, makeshift team. And we didn't lose. What on earth is the problem?
  6. Vyner was brave on the ball tonight and against some world class opponents too. Yes gave the ball away on occasions but often because he didn't have great options. In the circumstances he and Kalas did pretty well.
  7. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. Different level to all ours bar Scott. Really hope he stays.
  8. His goal was ridiculous - just effortlessly passed it into the net with pinpoint accuracy from miles out without breaking stride. Worth the admission price alone. Although so was seeing Tommy Kalas back to his best. Boy have we missed him.
  9. You won't catch me in there. Although once the 3rd went in, they were trying to get Lansdown to bounce around. Which would have been worth the ticket price alone. Was in S22.
  10. Not sure it was him. But whoever it was needs to find something else to do. Absolute shambles.
  11. Inspired and hilarious, isn't it? Imagine being so dull, so dense, the only thing you can think of calling your rivals is "shit". Then, because they're gas-heads, just copying part of that. Sums them up completely.
  12. No point at home to Hull. Against the Welsh, London slags or any team bringing numbers, it's a grand idea to pack that block and provoke an atmosphere.
  13. True and that's the spirit in which we all should approach Tuesday. Except... we're nowhere near as good as we were in Jan 2018 so you're not comparing like with like. Fingers crossed, though!
  14. My missus said this, watching the Lionesses game in the week. She know understands why I come home with vertigo after home games.
  15. Brilliant. Does Nige buy any car? Either way, love him. Tune as well (for those old enough)!
  16. We've triggered our year option already. Surely. Unlucky Inter!
  17. Nige wants a team with forwards who can lead the press from high up the pitch. Chris Martin no longer had the legs. We replaced him with a forward, Cornick, who does. We now have legs and energy - as well as goals - whoever is available up front.
  18. Don't worry, he's on borrowed time. This time next year he's history.
  19. A new season is a fresh start, the slate wiped clean. So hypothtically of course, but... Start of next season, our centre backs are Kalas, Vyner, Atkinson, Naismith, new signing. You pick on ability and go from there over the season. So Kalas and Atkinson start, for me. All hypothetical as of today.
