Good article on the Beeb looking in depth at Sterling's performances and showing why pundits, players (and, presumably, managers) rate him but the fans don't.
I'm with the pundits. He does what Baldock did for us in the Championship promotion side and we'd be weaker without him...
Might well be covered in other threads. I don’t have time to read them all. Certainly on my Facebook. So apologies for any repetition. But just wanted to make the very valid point that binning off the big eared chav is the best thing I can remember happening to an England team.
Team spirit >...
Anyone else noticed that the good weather has brought out an absolute epidemic of dippy Dorises and straw hatted shitgibbons hiring the City bikes and riding them in either circles or zig zags down the Prom when there's a perfectly good, bespoke, paid-for-by-my-council-tax cycle lane to use...
Still wondering exactly how GTR, Network Rail and the government screwed up the May 2018 timetable implementation? Some brilliant analysis here (warning, it is LONG but worth it especially if you're a transport nerd or do a lot of project work)...
Driving back on Sunday and there was an interesting debate point on 606 (albeit ruined by the morons that phone in as usual).
Very simply, if Liverpool win the Champions League, can they call themselves the best side in Europe. For - they'll have beaten Man City, Roma and Real Madrid and be the...
Just for once it's not a nervous pre-match Friday. We're safe and will do it all over again next season, On Sunday we will watch the bin dippers nervously seeking a point while we can literally say "we don't care". Right now I'm watching Derby - Fulham with a beer and masochistic delight. Sierra...
...was in the West Lower bar after the game talking to fans and generally taking in the atmosphere. Lovely bloke who took time for a photo with my son which has made his year and was chatting happily and easily to fans.
Probably will not be around next season along with BFG, Sidwell and maybe...
Afternoon all.
WSU Regular and all round good egg Sid from CBeebies will be leading an attempt at an interactive dance routine record on Monday 30 April at 10.15. If you have a pre-schooler / Infants School Class who would like to Copy Sid as part of Children's Activities Week (and maybe win a...
Who would you have partnering Dunk at Selhurst? I'd give Connor a go. We've got enough strength in depth that we can replace players that are low on confidence or under performing.
Thought our support today was reactive rather than proactive. When “come on Brighton” is your loudest chant you’re not backing the players.
For the first 5 mins the players were fantastic and so were we but after that Hudds were louder more often.
Two split groups in the North competing with...
Has anyone else noticed the tendency for train announcements to drive you insane since good old Harry Clipper was replaced by “on board supervisors”?
Female one this morning started her arrival at Victoria speech today “wakey wakey, rise and shine” AT 7 BASTARDING AM :wrong: while the bloke on...
SSN reporting Swansea have made a £13m profit in the last financial year, compared to a loss in the year before, and Arsenal have increased their profits to £25 million. Seems that El Presidente was spot on when predicting that the current TV deal means that PL teams can make a profit again...
Anyone else off to celebrate our massive win / drown the sorrows of defeat / rue a midweek replay to the strains of Paul Weller tomorrow, kicking off his new tour at the Centre? Me + Mrs GB in the standing area. Can't wait/ :rock:
Inspired by last night's West Ham game and a chat on Twitter with my Man City mate, do people think that the PL brand is now being harmed by the number of teams in the bottom half setting out purely to stifle the top 6?
Last night's game was AWFUL and we did similar up at Wembley, just to...
Evening NSC.
A favour please. We took a young lad aged 9 and his Dad who escaped the war in Syria to the Bournemouth game yesterday, their first big football match ever. The boy is football crazy and although he started the day saying Man Utd was his favourite team I'm pretty sure we converted...
Frankly, I'm nervous about tomorrow. Burnley are flying and are bound to be decent from set pieces. So, what we're going to need is well oiled voices. Currently oiling mine with home made butter chicken and Goose IPA. May crack open the vino later. :drink:
