  1. Yes don't get it. Did LM not want him. Do we assume he does enough in training to get his seat on the bench but not seen as good enough to get minutes ?

    The laws are there, it's their interpretation by humans that is the problem and some officials don't help the situation.

    Yes I do agree with you there. Well apparently we get to review vaf first hand next season in the championships

    VAR goes to a new all time low

    Rangers v Celtic

    Shocking

    I will keep saying it Corrupt as Duck

     

     

    Corrupt is a big allegation. I mean are we saying bribes are involved. Surly var ref just relays what they see. I agree the way car is used needs refining but as Ur seems we will have in the championship next season we best get used to it 

  4. Well an interesting array of ideas and options. But surely BT, Crayon boy, and LM will know who they intend to sell and have the wanted newbies already lined up. But I just feel that lovely 'if' dynamic will play a big part in the transfer activities this summer. And the big one is if SL will free up the cash to trade in the relevent level of markets we need to be attracting players from.

    I might get a season ticket for myself and grandsons next season. It could be fun to watch

    wouldn’t be surprised to see Cornick link up with Ex boss Nathan Jones at Charlton - be going for a promotion push next season 

    What about our promotion push ?

    Im sure that the bird signing is to bring him in to take the sitting ball playing midfielder role that james currently has. Perhaps him and tgh will share that role moving into the future.

    Yes that makes . But Bird hasn't the leadership and game experience James has got. Bird with a mentor in In James works for me

    Notes from it:

    - Matty James is fully training as is Twine. Williams not as yet

    - They’ve had some physically tough sessions which in turn develop mental toughness - have now given them days off as recharging is very important (at this point I believe I saw Jon Lansdown smacking his head against a wall)

    - The large volume of games we’ve not won or drawn we’ve been in them. The culture is good and it’s important to stick together

    - Questioned as to how much of the plan is set game by game and how much is based on how he’d like us to play. Answer was that the behaviours needed to be right, had to run and had to compete, but he very much sees football as cat and mouse (….sake) and if the opponents are struggling against us then they will change and it’s about having a culture when the players solve the problem and that’s the big bit. 
     

    (NB - major issue here. He’s right that opponents will change but the problem is he doesn’t and he can’t expect the players to solve the macro problems. They did when they went off piste vs Swansea but that’s in spite and not because of him)

    - Bit about the fans, the youth cup, nothing else major. New phrase is “we need to do us” which is very romcom.

    Not worth 8 minutes of your life.

    Yeah so picked up that 

    'we need to do us'

    Wtf 

    Other than that let's see Friday. Hoping we don't get really turned over it could get bit uneasy with a full house. Yeah be interesting to see how full the South Stand is

    I'm in the same situation being in Surrey. I've also noticed that getting away tickets has become more difficult in the last few years and have to reluctantly accept that if we did ever get to the PL I don't think I'd be in with a shout of getting away tickets. I fully accept that ST holders have priority but what irks me is that anyone can buy a membership to enable them to get priority just for a specific "glamour" game, potentially not having been to a City game before and therefore having equal priority to someone like me (55 years man and boy!!).  City even plug buying memberships prior to a big game for that reason.

    Myself and two grandsons have hade memberships for years and have missed ticket allocation on big games before

    Being bottom of Div 4 was pretty bad. However, this is all self-inflicted by continuing poor decisions by the Lansdowns. 

    Yes tend to agree . The whole slide from Div .1 to Div.4 was pretty in inspiring and bottom of Div. 4 a horrid low point. But this seems so self made by the owners and dynamic duo's managerial choices. How long does SL let crayon boy and BT run the show without input ?
