  1. Are they still maintaining social distancing rules in Cardiff? How many empty seats.
  2. Well up for this. Robins TV on. Let's hope we carry the positivity that's been building in to this game and take them apart COYR
  3. ITV will be shitting themselves. Sainsbury's sales have never recovered.
  4. I'd love to see something like this happen. A succession plan for management is a sign of a club with a proper identity and a forward thinking plan.
  5. "Pearson says dance around the ground, dance around the ground, dance around the ground"
  6. Wow, we've got a free kick in the box. Can't remember it's proper name, it's been that long !!!
  7. Every time I see a defender back off and back off into his own penalty box I'm screaming at the TV. Almost invited the Sunderland player to shoot. ******* bollocks. COYR. We still look good going forward. Let's pull this back.
  8. How do we know you're not a doubter? We can't move for doubters round here. "can we come in for a doubt?" they say. And we say "No, go away you heartless doubters"
  9. We'll get £125,000 for it being televised on the Tuesday night on ITV. Nice little wedge.
  10. Last season we averaged 1.19 points per game to finish on 55 This season we are currently on 1.18 points per game. That would leave us on 54 or 55 again Our win percentage is currently down on last season (28.6 percent so far this season compared to 32.6 percent for the whole of last season). To get to the 60 points mark we'll need to significantly improve our win percentage. That would see us score 27 points in the remaining games at 1.5 points per game. We would need a win percentage (depending on the number of draws) of about 40 percent or better. That's a strong improvement. If we get to 60 points, we'd go into 23/24 with a great deal of optimism. As it stands, I think we'll finish the season on around 57 points. An improvement on last year. Interestingly, last season we were on 33 points after 28 games and 11 points off the play offs but 13 above the drop. This season we are 1 point closer to the play offs but also only 7 points above the drop. The bottom half of the table is a lot tighter. We can't afford to make too many mistakes.
  11. On Twitter, Wycombe fans are hoping this isn't true but almost all of them are wishing him well and are saying he's quality. Always a good sign if there are no negative posts from the selling club. Looks like this could be a good bit of business.
  12. Get in. Great match. A massive boost to the confidence of the team (and the fans). Some real stand out performances which will hopefully carry over into the league. Looking forward to the 5th round draw at 7pm Monday on BBC1
  13. I don't want to put a hex on it but we've definately looked tighter at the back as the game has progressed. We are looking good in all areas of the pitch at the moment.
  14. Until about 20 minutes ago my weekend was as much fun as apple bobbing in a steaming bucket of dog toffee. It's got a little bit better now. COYR.
  15. On the 26th December 2017 we beat Reading to go 2nd in the table having knocked Manchester United out of the League Cup to put us into the Semi's. Our record at that point was: Played 24. Won 13. Drawn 8. Lost 3. Starting with our defeat against Wolves on the 30th December 2017, the remainder of the season went as follows: Played 22, Won 4, Drawn 8, Lost 10. To finish 11th in the table. That cup run kept LJ in a job.
  16. I was on a military training exercise in the Black Mountains that night and had no access to a radio or TV. The following morning one of the instructors mentioned at breakfast that Liverpool had been knocked out of the FA Cup. Suffice to say I was more than happy. On the coach on the way back to Portsmouth on the Friday we stopped at a service station and I bought a paper with all the headlines on the sports pages reading that Souness had been sacked. I'd been able to get to the Wolves game to get a voucher for the home game but couldn't then make it to the first match, the replay of that one or the away replay, all thanks to being away with the Royal Navy. I did make it to the 5th round match against Charlton.
