And Gary Collier didn't give him a look in.

Collier was such a classy player, reminds me of Adam Webster

Was there anyone who didn't go to the match and listened to the match?

Radio 2 was responsible for second half only coverage of a top flight game

Although Radio Bristol most probably had up dates on the game

QUESTION IS: what was the radio coverage from RB or radio 2 on that day.

Thanks in advance

 

It was the main game on “The big match” with Brian Moore the next day, “Supermac’s” debut for Arsenal after his big move from Newcastle as well

Nice touch, hope he enjoys his Xmas with his family

Eastville '83 nowhere near that number, (14,396 total attendance) 

Eastville '75 (the 4-1 win) near 10,000 City fans (20,933)

Eastville '76 (promotion season 0-0) well over 10,000 City fans (26,430)

That “76 game was unbelievably packed on the Muller Rd End, I spent most of the game stood on the dog track, the 4-1 win was late ‘74

I’ve attended the 3 away games so I can get access to the West Ham page on the ticketing website. 
 

Annoyingly only a couple of the group I’m going with have done the 3 so got to wait till Friday so we can all sit together. 

Is it allocated seating, noting on my receipt to say it is

Glad to be of service.

By all means, stick around, and have your say, as you have licence to do so.

If you choose to switch to other channels on here, you may get a better reception than you've had on this one.

However, if you continue to find this forum depressing, for your own well-being, just pull the plug.

 

(55 years at AG is a very long sentance. What exactly did you do to deserve that ?)

I blame my dad who blamed his dad

Finished off your sentence for you.

And, if you think it's so depressing, you're not serving a sentance, so feel free to leave at any time.

Thanks for the advice Joe but having been a regular at AG for 55 years and seen far worse times I’ll stick around

What games did we deserve to get more points than we got?

QPR? Nope. 

Southampton? Nope.

Norwich? Nope. 

Huddersfield? Nope. 

Blackburn? Nope. 

We've got exactly what we've deserved. Boro are still scratching their heads as to how we beat them. 

Just saying something doesn't make it true mate. 

Thr forum has become depressing because we've become depressing to watch. 

 

We’ve been depressing to watch for what seems like ages, it didn’t start five games ago

Just had a flashback to the game a few seasons back, we were 3 up at half time if I recall correctly and hung on as it finished 3-3! 

All three goals in the last 20 minutes.

What minute will Sykes be inexplicably taken off?

I’ll go 67.

I dread to think how the crowd would react to that, particularly if he's having a good game

Yes, but we are grateful for you doing your best to make it a little bit easier

In whatever time i've got left on this earth i hope we never have to play you again, too many mental scars from all those defeats in the '80s !!

Yes I did, they are called facts.

F-A-C-T-S.

Try them, though fair play to you as one of those who joined in 2017 but didn’t start posting until Pearson was sacked at least you have stuck around with your propaganda.

Talking of facts, where did you get 2017 from? and are you suggesting that i've made 5.3K posts since Pearson was sacked ?

Thing is like every team we play both home games & away games & if you win at Middlesbrough, Swansea, Birmingham, Reading, Cardiff, QPR & Peterborough during that run they you keep mentioning all the time, then it is a lot less relevant than if you don’t.

Oh dear, did you go to all the trouble of looking that up

It’ll recognise your a season ticket holder when you go to the basket . I’ve just done it and it changed it when I went to pay .. 

Cheers Brann, i did manage to suss it in the end

Trying to buy seats on the coach for WHU but they are trying to charge me £27 when it clearly states on the website £22 for season ticket holders,  HELP

How depressing would a relegation battle be or worse?

25 games to go. You may well be sitting through worse.

I'm used to it

Five points from six games is depressing.

Not as depressing as having to sit through 16 home games without a win

We've gone backwards, by a year or 2.

Apart from the abysmal position NP inherited, when half the squad was injured, a third of the squad out of contract, behind closed doors...

This is the joint 2nd worst winless run out of NP and Manning. His worst was 5 in the League from the start of 2021-22, then 4- when downsizing and rebuilding.

Manning has already hit 4, from a 40% win ratio, 1.4 PPG and a slowly declining injury list.

How far can we fall.

You can play with figures and statistics as much as you like (no mention of Pearson's involvement in 16 home games without a win) personally i think if anything the performances have improved and have deserved more points than we've got despite our strikers under-performing.

This forum has become so depressing.

It used to be Sir Geoffrey Merrick back in the ‘70s, of course GG had his own song

Only one Gerry Gow, far and away our greatest player in my fifty years.

Semenyo hadn't even enjoyed the surroundings of Twerton Park and Rodney Parade at that age and he didn't turn out too bad

Were led to believe we should be competing at the “top end” of this division this season, that we have “a top-10 budget” and that this “is the best squad in my [JL’s] time here”. So why are we going backwards? We must be beating the likes of Huddersfield, Norwich and QPR. 

It takes more than possession stats to impress me and Manning hasn’t done anything to win me over yet. I hope he does, but he hasn’t yet.

We were nine points above the bottom three at the start of play today, now it’s seven. The bottom line is we must be doing better to match the chairman’s target.

 

It's only 7 points because QPR have won their last three games, other teams in this division are allowed to win games you know

We did beat Middlesbrough though who just happened to beat run-away leaders Leicester, all this is pointless

To me, this is SOD all over again with one key difference - personality.

Manning gives text book answers, and everyone thinks he’s a football genius. SOD was all over the place and everyone thought he was mad… but they’re both saying and delivering the same thing.

Hindsight has been kind to SOD. He started to sort out a serious mess and lay the foundations of our high achieving academy. Manning has walked into some very solid foundations so has no excuses.

I’m not writing him off yet but I don’t have high hopes.

I think that's great that you're not writing him off after five games

Nige is on record as saying him and JL got on fine, I think the problems lay elsewhere. 

Plymouth reserves. Let's be honest we were very lucky Schumacher "rested" their best players. He won't be doing that again in a hurry. 

I think he might of did it yesterday at Leicester, he made 6 changes
