Porto Red Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 1 hour ago, Prinny said: So we don't know if this sort of thing happened before. What's interesting is that we're deliberately filming it and showing it now. It's good publicity. Good propaganda. All hail Robins state TV! We're definitely gonna get footage of Holden tearing into them. right? Jokes aside I think it's smart for a number of reasons to show stuff like this. Shows potential recruits how they'll be treated, evidence of the pathway for young players considering signing with us. No one is going to look at this footage and think it makes anyone look bad. Next up on Robins state TV is Jack Hunt outrunning a cheetah while cuddling some kittens. I bet he could as well! Like @RedEyez, I don't want to get carried away, but I am sure he will agree that Jack Hunt is definitely better than Trent Alexander-Arnold!

Could be a temporary measure until we move to the new one - honestly don't know. Difference between us and "someone else" is that we WILL move into a new facility, and that one won't have any tents. "Someone else" will end up putting up more tents and try to double their capacity. Actually, I'm surprised they haven't tried putting more tents on top of the existing ones to improve the ground.....

When did said "We've got a signed league shirt for you and a little....." but the video stopped Video from your family perhaps? From the presser: "It was his matchday shirt [handed to him at the training ground today by the squad, with an accompanying video of his family]. It’s a big moment for a young player to get his full league debut. It takes a hell of a lot of work to become a professional in the first place, and to then go and make your debut in a big game against Stoke against a player like Mikel. I thought he was outstanding on the day. He’s a brilliant character. I don’t think there’s any question that he’s going to get ahead of himself. He’s as relaxed as they come. He’s horizontal. He’s calm and he comes from a great family. We’re really pleased with him and he’s got a big career in front of him as long as he keeps doing the right things and he’s enjoying working with the staff. The players love him to bits. He can be really pleased with his performance and now it’s about what he does next - and I keep saying to the players it’s about what we do next."

Guess it's quicker to shout when playing. Found amongst Mr T’s quotes, so he could be our Mister T! “When I was old enough to change my name, I changed it to Mr. T so that the first word out of someone's mouth was 'Mister,' a sign of respect.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YGBjammy Posted September 22, 2020 Report Share Posted September 22, 2020 Serious question - does this tradition still stand if a player makes his debut in a match where we get smashed 5-0? I love Holden and am over the moon at how it's all going, but it's easy when you're winning. We'll find out what Holden is really like when we lose 3 on the spin. (Statistically it's going to happen at some point, that's just football) When we see how he responds to bad results, and even bad performances; that's when we'll find out how good this appointment is. Personally, I'm optimistic about it; he seems like a realist and very pragmatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
