A wet fish is as slippery as a banana skin. We slipped on an Addick once already this season.
I’m already front and centre on Hove Lawns for the victory parade.Just booked my Wembley Hotel
I know xG is a bit Marmite, but I only use it in this instance to try to highlight that despite teams learning about how we play and trying to counter it - generally sitting off a bit and not pressing us as we clearly want - we are still getting through sides, breaking them down and creating very good goalscoring opportunities.I'd rather work off of ACTUAL goals rather than xG.
I see your point though and 100% agree with your last sentence.
Great weekend - smoked a spliff with a tramp on a roof. Long story.Can anyone spot themselves in these photos? I was up for the game with the 'flying squad' fans and took quite a few photos

What are we doing to Grimsby?
What am I missing? I've not seen anything offensive or patronising towards them. Which, if that is the case, why would we be mad at Man u for doing it?
We were....and......Bedford Town...Barnet...Barnsley....Oxford....Kingstonian....Lincoln....Charlton.....to name a few.....I'm sure there are more.We are the perfect draw for them, Premier League, but can be beaten if the Planets align.
Southampton showed them no respect,only starting 1 of the team who lost to Dirty Leeds until they were 2 down,. Okay,both penalties and one of those were very dubious,but they still count. I hope we are not tempted to make the same mistake.
I also am old enough to remember Walton and Hersham, and Leatherhead. Weren’t we expected to win both of those at a canter?
Yep agreed. A few posters have said 'we've been worked out' recently and I just dont see it. We dominated Bournemouth, won, and should have scored more. We dominated Palace, drew, and would have won if VAR had done its job, Sanchez hadnt f***ed up, or had scored another of our many chances. Fulham was a game we again dominated and were by far the better footballing team, we just couldnt take one of our chances and got hit with a sucked punch. It doesnt exactly scream 'we've been worked out'. Just an unlucky few games, and been a bit like last season in front of goal. If being worked out, is another team parking the bus but still letting us have chances then i think we're doing okay, just need to improve the ruthlessness infront of goal.I'm not sure I agree with that.
In all three of those Premier League games we created a hatful of chances - we just didn't score them. Depending on which model you use, we were close to an xG of 3 each time.
Being "worked out" doesn't involve letting a side create a lot and then hoping they fail to convert.
We seem to be infected with Potter-itis - let's just hope it passes soon.
Especially if told while stonedGreat weekend - smoked a spliff with a tramp on a roof. Long story.
Wasn’t my stuff - used to do it as a kid but when in Cleethorpes on a hotel roof with a tramp (who had somehow blagged his way into our hotel room without us being there by telling the lady he was my son - he wasn’t a real tramp), if you get offered a blast you take it. Must’ve been 17 or so too - prob still take it now tbhEspecially if told while stoned
that's what I figured but I've not seen anything disrespectful.I think the implication is that we're taking defeating them for granted.
What’s your Inter railing holiday got to do with the price of fish ?I'm a step ahead. I've booked my hotel for the champions league final 2025.
I don't know where it is so I've just booked a hotel in every major city in Europe...
Price of fish will go down due to us giving Grimsby all the money from our game against them. This will in turn allow us(the general public) greater savings on our fish suppers thus allowing us to save enough to go inter railing.What’s your Inter railing holiday got to do with the price of fish ?
