  1. It's not so much a captain that's needed , but players acting less robotic unable to adapt to what's happening. Worse even become even more emboldened leading to more errors. Many sports teams suffer from this; the inability to adjust to the situation. It seems unfathomable that half the team weren't emploring naismith to simply hit the channels for the next 5/10 minutes while the right to play is earnt again. Everyone seems to have bought into how the manager wants them to play , the effort is there , the will is there. But there is a wild difference between error in application and making that same error over and over. Of course this might not be the fault of the players , perhaps they are told to play that way and win enough personal battles were all good. But all the same, what I/we really need to start seeing is adjustments when the other team is on top. Earn the right to pkay , then do so. Yesterday we tried to be expansive when QPR were on top from our errors ,they had that zip about them , then walked right into what they wanted us to do. Playing out from the back is great , being wide and expansive is great. But unless you are a team consisting of the worlds greatest players , you kinda have to accept that it's not possible for every minute of every game. Make the adjustments , or go all season needing 3 a game.
  2. If you go as a two and eat , 1 meal is enough. We had chicken and fries for 1 between two at Yankee stadium, didn't get close to finishing.
  3. We all start for whatever random reason. I started in 1996, Channel 5 world series . Yankees v padres, i picked the Yankees , and basically started from there. Fenway is one seriously old place, essentially you are taking 33% of united States history in one building. Wrigley field also had the same essence. I didn't see a game in either but did go round the outside, grabbing the parts of history i could.
  4. I can never erase the memory of that awful awful series. You being part of it just made it so so so much worse. Ps and it hasn't been great since ?
  5. Wow.. Spilt my coffee over this , amazing
  6. You also have to consider , La liga only announce , date and ko time two weeks before (seria a too), lovely isn't it. They really don't care about fans attending games.
  7. August = heat related September to a point You also have to consider 10pm is tv prime time. Even usual programes (eg the voice, soaps - start at 2200)
  8. Curiously: In a league Derby basically no away fans go But in the champions , everyone wants to. (see the same with barca)
  9. It was awful . With the sun , had issues with who was who for the whole game
  10. Also the only place I've eve been kicked out of a club , to this day I have No idea why. (straight after my drunk was spilt at that) So yeah, strange place. There's also the small matter of my father getting married that weekend, but not telling me until after , as he knew I had tickets for Norwich away. Norwich away has quite a bit attached to it for a one and done.
  11. The current shirt is already horrific enough, just don't ???, I'm mentally preparing for our inevitable promotion year to then be stuck with it forever.
  12. Just doesn't do it justice ..... It starts from not long after we get the ball out wide ... At first it's a nice keeping the ball. Then the ultimate self-inflicted goal nonsense
  13. One of the most embarrassing goals I've seem a team concede, could see it coming with the being clever but arrogance, first couple were fine , then it got silly, then stupid , then they score , honestly joke of a goal ....the brought it on themselves. Talk about trying to see the game out in a clocking headlesss chicken way. Joke joke joke ....just as i a beginning to think turning a corner , we concede that type of goal . How do you go from couple of one touches on half way line , giving a player space , to couple of arrogant passes leading to press and head's gone moment. Wow, really thought after the last few years i was immune to injury time goal anger , That one takes the piss #edit Dont write here when that pissed off , cool down first
  14. Hate the place ... 5-1 0-0 with no shots on target (Colin Hendry was cb for them) Once i saw city win there , i was done with it. Just remember it being brutally cold in summer , the endless wind No thanks
  15. Think explains why they were always my championship manager team. Oh the mystique.
  16. Nice little thatchers gold city song reference on talk sport today Between 1530-1540 re zinchenko for those who wish to hear it. Pretty cool
  17. In real time (TV) was an obvious red card. Like a wtf you doing moment. Kinda nonsense you see from idiots at sunday league. Replay even more obvious. At 2 nil up just beyond stupid. Sure you didn't get a free kick, but if you show that lack of discipline 2 up, will management really want to trust you? He's got to earn that back and learn quickly. Everything else was just football stuff, nobody else warranted a red, only himself to blame. As for the pen , not sure what else needs to happen , thought it was pretty blatant.
  18. I get what you are saying. A bit of name checking can help, that's for sure. But even with the man's game. That's a lot of countries and division to Have knowledge on. Perhaps I'm slightly bias, plus a language thing. Honestly watching any game in Spanish is infuriating, every pass is spelt out every single one at times, when they tell me a cross gone too long for the millionth time, i want to punch my screen. As for trying to do something while watching a game, forget it. The tone is full on drama, and it doesn't stop ,Passing it along the back 4 sounds like the greatest attack in history, and the ball has gone a metre.
  19. Describing who is in possession and who is receiving a pass is my versión of hell. It's why in European commentaries they don't shut up for a second. Tell me what i can't see, guide me to what i can't appreciate on TV , not what i can see and already know.
  20. Well now I'm all.hyped for the new season I've been trying so hard to ignore till it literally starts
  21. Great signing. The hipster of defensive midfielders. Atlético are currently a RB and CF short however. ................ If however you mean the shirt ,? It looks the same ,it smells the same, it acts the same , but different enough people will buy; unlike a certain city kit which made me feel like i was watching the someone else v Portsmouth. All it needs to make is a promotion and stuck with this monstrosity forever.
  22. Thought it was a yellow myself. A challenge that looked worse than it actually was
  23. I never feel comfortable in a world where I'm forced to agree with you ?
  24. I hate it. Really genuinely hate it. Every time i see it on social media I suffer kit rage. Never thought the day would come where i hate a city home kit. I hope this is a once in a life time experience. End of first world problem rant. ?
