    Not really. At all. My mate's into fashion but not obsessively. We have a laugh about it and he just keeps me up to date on what the latest looks are.

    Regarding the beards thing, he sent me a voice clip of a whole bar chanting at a bearded bloke who had loads of tattoos, telling him to get out. They've got a gong behind the bar and the bar people hit it if they see tattoos on someone. It's pretty funny, especially as the bloke tripped over on his way out and you can hear him do a little yelp as he falls.

    Yeah okay, I’m gonna file you away in the troll section.

    Thats harsh. How many stadiums do you think have outlets selling Mexican food and Jamaican goat curry. May be expensive , but limited choice it definitely isn't.

    I said less choice, not no choice.

    There is now less variety in the fans village then when it first opened. I would have hoped the choice of food vans would have evolved and been added it, not reduced.

    Changing an award winning pie supplier was a bad move as well.

    Its a shame that the food have gone downhill. When the stadium first open, the pies were decent and you have a bit of variety in the fans village. I’m not sure why they changed the pies suppliers and offer less choice outside. You’d thought it be pretty easy yo get some independent food trucks offering different options.

    That’s taking Pearson too literally imho.  Of course he needs to cut the defensive mistakes out, and that requires better concentration.  But he has a role to play in possession too, not that he needs to be doing skill-spots on the touchline per se.

    Back to his mistakes, if we go back and analyse Birmingham, was Deeney beating him in a header a mistake, or was the lack of marking in behind him by Atkinson, Kalas and Tanner?  Re the Gardner goal, having watched it again, just because Vyner ends up being nearest to Gardner when he heads it in, I would argue (til I’m blue in the face) it wasn’t his man.  Re Cov, 100% his fault…in fact 200%, one for getting caught wrong side, two for laying his hands on Godden’s back.

    But as a group we are very keen to make one player the person at fault, when in fact it can be a combination of things.

    Even Brereton’s goal.

    O’Dowda and Baker switch off / don’t communicate at the throw-in, Brereton gets the ball 3/4 yards of space.

    Baker switches off on the cross, let’s Brereton mosey on towards the area

    Kakas deciding to head the cross

    Etc.

    Kalas gets all the blame.

    I’m not taking Pearson literally. It is my view of Vyner based on watching him over the years. 
     

    He has some good qualities, decent pace/mobility, decent on the ball, seems a honest lad who tries.

    I was at Coventry. As soon as he let their player get on the wrong side, you just knew what was going to happen next. He made a foul he didn’t need to make. He’s got to trust Bentley who is very good in 1 v 1s.

    I like my defenders to defend first. If they can play a bit that’s a bonus. I’m sure Pearson agrees hence why Baker is here and Moore is in Scotland.

    Edit: I should have added Baker has been at fault for many goals over the years. Too often gets caught under the ball from a cross and ends up lying on the floor with the ball in our net.

  5. I don’t give a shit about a fancy turn on the touchline! I’ve seen a few posters say he’s had a good game apart from a few mistakes that have led to goals.

    His job is to stop the ball going in our net. That’s the only thing he needs to focus on, otherwise he’s going to end up in L1 pretty quickly.
