Should be more competitive than it would have been if played before Christmas. But I don't think we will win this with the form Man U are in. Agree with Stubbo about Soucek likely to be dropped for this. I would also like to see Wilson on the bench until second half. I think we are in for a 1-2 loss...

I feel like 20 years ago on here, most of you would have been all over this thread, enthusiastically regaling us with lurid tales about your own trips to strip clubs. Did you all just get old and testosterone depleted, or have you become timid because of the puritanical times we live in?  Good obse...

I’d like to watch whole game again on this cam. Not just a few seconds. Reminds me of that film of Zidane. 

Half time to West Ham is what midnight is to Cinderella. 

 

Don’t think Pablo has got it has he?

I don’t blame Bowen for that.  He saw Summerville wide open at the far post. 

If we were playing a team of Chelsea’s calibre here it would be Deja Vu with the scoreline. 

 

5th game on the trot. He’s gone from no end product to being our best finisher.

This line up is screaming backs to the wall for last 30 minutes after going 2 or 3 goals up. Wilson, Bowen and Taty will tire by 60 minutes and our attacks will fizzle out. There’s no one to replace any of them. Unless Adama has enough to offer which is yet to be seen in a claret and blue shirt. Per...

Otherwise it is pointless. 


Or has that been covered already. 

 

Now Summerville has found where the goal is, is it too much to expect another contribution from him? Would it make 5 on the trot. I suspect an early lead again which we obviously stand a better chance of retaining against this lot than we did against Chelsea. Leeds v Forest tonight means a win again...

She could have just blocked his number rather than have him arrested at the airport. 

Reminds me of that joke going around in the 80s when AIDS was doing its thing.  Bloke goes to the doctor and says, “doctor I think I have AIDS” Doctor says, “go home and eat chicken madras every day for a week” Bloke says, “will that cure me of AIDS?” Doctor says, “no, but it will teach what your ar...

Utter cringe. This should be deleted. Leave this shit for Arsenal fans. 

“You’ll never take the east end”. That might be news to the people of South Asia. 

(Do we need an Andy Carroll icon?) Andy Carroll, the former England striker, is accused of breaching a court order by repeatedly calling his celebrity ex-wife.  Carroll, once a British-record £35m signing for Liverpool, faces trial at crown court for allegedly breaching a non-molestation order agai...

That’s what irks me more. Change is inevitable. But what kind of change you see is not. This is my view too. Where I agree with the OP, though, is that many of the fans have a tendency to be parochial about the problems and the solutions. As the other thread on modern fans make clear, most of the p...

I was queuing outside Kellys after a home game once and some hipster type birds came up behind me and started peering through the window somewhat bemused at the fayre being served up. One of them actually thought the liqueur was soup      Kelly's is interesting because it is totally encircled by ge...

I just read the comments to the Guardian piece. Fascinating insight into the Guardian liberals ambivalence to native working-class culture. And I am being generous with ambivalence. They rightly aim some criticisms of Pie and Mash but those same criticism can be applied to many foods which they will...

Being replaced by halal shops in their hundreds. Sad to see their decline. HAHAHAHAHA! Heard it all now. The decline of pie and mash is down to the great replacement conspiracy theory. Don't know if you've noticed but pie and mash isn't exactly popular with the white younger generation, either. The...

There used to be hundreds of pie and mash shops in London. Now there are barely more than 30. Can social media attention and a push for protected status ensure their survival?

Just watched the highlights from Saturday. 

I’d like to add Rosenior to this list. 

(Thread at WHU(Exeter)'s suggestion)

For me, difficult to beat either of those two spaniards from Saturday. But Gary Lineker is up there.
