Just seen this old pic of Ashton Gate This is how it would look now had the Gas nicked it off us in 82

Saying that I'm unsure if they would have put the seating in the East End  yet

Because most people dont stay on a band wagons to long

Think Hamilton would have passed to win had he been infront of George. Would have been unfair to issue team orders but Lewis clearly had better tyres at the death 

All ifs and buts

Watching United on MOTD, and they are absolutely crap at defending.

Perhaps Maguire isn’t the problem there! Probably better for his confidence that he isn’t playing at the moment.

He should have left in the summer.

Problem at Utd is simple

When things are going well their star players look good

When things get tough like likes of Bruno Rashford Shaw Sancho plus 3 or 4 others hide as quick as possible Some of the most spineless players going

Keepers are allowed to make saves you know. 
It can be a good chance AND a good save. It doesn’t have to be one or the other. 

On otib it has to be

If your a fan of the City player then it is a great save

If the City player is one of the scape goats it is then a Sitter

Simple otib stuff

It’s all about how well your team are playing ( usually ) West Brom been poor hence no noise , if they go in front = more noise , 

same applies to city , we have so much shite over the past 3-4 years at home the atmosphere has been generally poor 

not rocket science 

Nail on head

Trent going forward is World Class probably 2nd in the Prem behind KDB for passing.

100%

Only problem is he can't defend 

Bit like having a centre forward who can defend but can't hit a barn door

Looking at our squad, we have 6-7 world class players. The last European country to have that many went on to win the Euros & World Cup 

Kane Bellingham and Rice 

Any chance of letting me know the other 3-4

No he probably isn’t but he plays that role of unglamorous midfielder very well. Very good at set pieces.

Top teams don’t necessarily have world class individual players in every single position anyway, but have players who play their role very effectively.(Rabiot for France or De Paul for Argentina for example). These players allow the world class attacking talent (Mbappe/Messi/Kane/Bellingham etc) to shine. I feel JWP is one of those.

Regardless, Henderson being selected over him is ridiculous.

I used to think he was overrated, but was impressed with what he did with Newcastle last season. 

He took over at a great time 

The Toon would have been happy with Hitler being in charge as long as Ashley was gone

England would win a World Cup managed by Eddie Howe. There, I said it. 

Is that the same Eddie Howe who some how got a really talented Bournemouth team relegated  

Biggest fraud in English football 

Only in my opinion

Prioirities - we have cryo chambers at the HPC, but no undersoil heating. Ashton logic.

No need for undersold heating

If the weather is that cold to freeze the pitch Health and safety would call the game of due the the area around the ground being unsafe

Also how many games have we had called off due to the weather over the last 25 years

They were already set up for life though as he’d been on £100,000k a week at anfield 

Yeah and he was offered a lot more than that to do the same JOB

Phew!   What a relief!    Apparently Jordan   Henderson's £700,000 weekly wage was NOT  the motivating factor in him joining the Saudi League?   It was purely down to his wish to grow the game he LOVES in another country.....Ahhh!  So Sweet!   He apparently has gone 'Above and Beyond" in his help to the LGBTQ community in the past, and is "Very Hurt" by the criticism aimed at him? 

I feel so much better now.....as Jordan is obviously such a genuine sincere person ....and now i can sleep at night, and no longer worry about Jordan's motives for going to the wonderful land of Saudi Arabia    ............................ .

Fair play to him 

Set up his family for life 

Proper football didnt start until 1992

If any one on here thinks different then you know nothing about the once beautiful game

If you dont believe me WATCH FOOTBALL ON SKY they will tell you the fact!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For me Brooks has to play

Drop Livingstone who comes off once in a blue moon

when it is against average bowling on a dead flat wicket

Point made

Nothing more than a very average flat track bully

Shouldnt be any where near the England set up

For me Brooks has to play

Drop Livingstone who comes off once in a blue moon

when it is against average bowling on a dead flat wicket

Nothing to do with Carrick being a good or bad manager

Its all to do with me putting money on them winning promotion!!!!!

So the moral of the story is

Smack your bitch up and carry on in football

Give a girl a kiss !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do we? Stones is up there as one of the best in the world, but out injured. Colwill and Tomori both talented youngish players. At right back we’re loaded with world class talent. Left back options of Chilwell and Shaw long term. 

Stones is good with the ball but wouldn't go as far as saying world class defender ( gets into my team)

As for Shaw just like Bruno and Rashford  at utd he is ok when all is well When it gets tough he hides under the first rock he can find 

Conor Gallagher 

Just dont get it with him

Just looks like a red card waiting to happen

Also 

God we look poor at the back

In Brightons case they had

80% possession,

25 shots to 12,

736 passes to 199 (not that i'm a fan of that stat')

17 corners to four

 

These stats tell me that in all likelihood Brighton should of won and probably would do 4 times out of 5 yet XG says differently by quite a considerable margin all though in fairness it says that WHU should of won 3-1 which remarkably is exactly what they did !!!!!

 

So what it tells you is

That if you score 3 and only let in 1 

you will win 100% of the time

XG is a total waste of time

The only thing that matters is what happened in a game

Not what coulda woulda shoulda

That one stinks a bit, Perez leading but Red Bull pitting Max first and he gets the undercut on Perez, somehow you can't help but think tying the 9 race wins record was their bigger priority rather than being fair with team tactics and giving race leader Perez the better pit stop.

Wow a team putting their best driver first

never seen that in  F1 before  !!!!!
