  1. What’s the point of following a football team if you can’t enjoy it when they win?
  2. Hapgood won 5 league titles and 2 FA Cups with Arsenal. Lloyd won 2 League titles, 2 European Cups, a UEFA cup, a European Super Cup and 2 League Cups. If think it’s fair to say both had illustrious careers.
  3. Birmingham Alabama would be better.
  4. One off game. The final would be at AG in the unlikely event that we win.
  5. As has been previously discussed many times on here, we also lost to Spurs in the semi in 1970 and to Ipswich in the final in 1973.
  6. The crux of the problem is Jon Lansdown. Nepotism never works. Lansdown senior needs to get his son out of there, appoint a top of the range CEO and let him run the club unfettered, including the appointment of an experienced Head of Football and possibly a new Head Coach, although I’d give Manning the benefit of the doubt with professional people around to support him.
  7. True, but 15 of the last 17 have been in tier 2.
  8. I think Postecoglou would take Antione’s game to the next level.
  9. Not forgetting Tins played a key role in the signing of both Antione and Alex Scott, which consequently netted the club £30 million plus. Transfer income might not matter to the OTIB Taliban, but it puts him in significant credit with SL
  10. From that photo nearer to 50 than 100.
  11. You’re clutching at straws, he’s not going to walk away from a contract with more than 3 years to run.
  12. Imagine getting caught sat next to Lee Johnson and Liam Manning on a long haul flight.
  13. Growing up in the 60s I used to go and watch the reserves play in the Football Combination on the Saturdays we were away. Got in for free most weeks.
  14. The FA youth Cup is hardly a bauble. Chelsea, Man U, Man City and Liverpool are all multiple winners. It would be a huge coup for the club to get to the final, unlikely as it is. Look at the quality of the goals in the 2nd leg of last year’s final
  15. Not quite the car crash that was Prince Andrew on Newsnight, but not great. At least he fronted up which his more than you can say for Steve Lansdown and his offspring.
  16. Except we won there last season.
  17. After yesterday’s crucial result and with the pressure off, Win 5 of the last 9 games of the season. A good preseason which is a launch pad to a good start which sees us in and around the top 6 at the end of October. I thought sacking Pearson was the most boneheaded stupid decision the club has made in my lifetime. That said, although Manning doesn’t inspire confidence, I hope for his sake, and ours, he can turn things around and produce a more appetising brand of football.
  18. Thought he was younger than that. Looks about 18.
  19. In my opinion TGH is a talented, hardworking youngman who’s only going to get better.
  20. It was regarding staying in the championship. If we’d lost today our championship future really would have been a lot more precarious. Not getting relegated might not matter to you, but it does to me. It really is.
