Villa 5-0 on new years day the same season as the League Cup win over Man U, the decline was starting tonset in at that point
To be fair, the team were visably exhausted that day. It may odd but the team had a lot of money in the bank, so it didn't feel as a 5-0 Should.

Colchester away, during the bas savage era was a pretty depressing experience.
Cold
Wet
Played terrible
Lost 3-0
League 2 didn't feel impossible after that game.

Atletico v barca tomorrow night for me; tough times.
Outside the grounds, 2 hours worth of cider. Then the game.
Could be worse.

Tomorrow a 10 comes to an end.
Win 16 points from 10 games = great start to season, in touch with the play****. if anything well above expectations despite not winning at home
Draw/lose..... Middle of the pack which most would have taken.

I remember waking up hungover on a Saturday morning in 2002, and texting @The turtle and deciding randomly to go to Peterborough away. We just rocked up at Temple Meads and bought a ticket. Bloody hell that was an expensive trip
Worth it though, for a nice 3-1 victory.
I believe it was 100€ return. We must have been pretty hungover to do that ha.
What a day though, what a day
P. S TWENTY YEARS FFS

I've been charged twice for the season.
It came out a couple of weeks ago, but just noticing now.
Does anyone have any idea just who I'm supposed to contact now?

During the pandemic, Arsenal first put Gunnarsauraus on furlough before finally making him redundant. He only got his job back when Mesut Ozil paid his wages for a period. My guess is that the club still have Scrumpy on furlough and will bring him back soon.
(NB - I’m aware Gunnarsauraus is not a real dinosaur and Scrumpy not a real Robin, I’m clearly referring to the people in the suits before someone pulls me up on that!)
The NB made genuine comedy gold. Made me actually laugh out loud.

Does atmosphere matter at all or is it simply something that makes fans feel better, feeling part of it?
Stoke pre prem/early pre prem was an incredible atmosphere. Liverpool on a European night under the lights. They are the two that come to mind when I think of atmosphere adding to the team.
However there are many examples of clubs being successful with no home atmosphere. (eithad is not exactly known to be roaring, bernabeu barely gets out of bed for a league game)
Furthermore, If you think the atmosphere really does matter, are fans also to blame for the fact city haven't won at home for so long. Could fans also be doing more?
How much of an impact as fans do you think atmosphere has on a game?

Stay away. I've suffered for over 20 years now watching the Jets, and you don't get to come along and join the Wilson bandwagon.
I mean, how many teams have you supported previously? Rams, Colts, Giants, any more I've forgotten?
So, in summary, my thoughts are as follows:
It's beauty of the draft for me. It doesn't matter who wins the lottery.
I WIN
Ps if foles starts before fields this year after Dolton, FIRE EVERYONE CONNECTED with Chicago

Warner went to the arizona too don't forget. Don't forget the packers too in playoff time.
I've been more attracted to certain players Nfl wise I guess.
This year
Jets = afc
Bears = nfc
Plus the giants of new York of course
Maybe ill stick with those for the next 15 years.
Hey, least I don't follow Brady.

Build this year
Superbowl next

@The turtle I'm surprised that you're not active in this thread considering your newfound passion for running!
I'm sure I could delight others in running a decent amount slower than a snail.
Though I should add, this article spoke to me:

The ones I know are nice enough people, but for some reason when talking about the 15ers they seem to suddenly become bumbling idiots who make one ridiculously stupid comment after another. It's a strange phenomenon, which I don't think I've come across with any other team at such a universal level. Would you agree with my assessment @The turtle?
Nail on the head!

I'm ashamed to say that me and @The turtle know this particular 15er

Part of my original city side. As a child when Leaning, Newman, Taylor left, I found each one difficult to accept, or even understand.
It's an awful feeling when your original super heroes move on.
