I think this will epitomise our season. We are good, not great, and we will just miss out on everything (Wembley, Europe). We are not as good as we were under De Zerbi that year, and that's okay. Obviously we wish we were, but we're not, and I'm content with that, as rubbish as it feels in this...
Whatever it is, the last few weeks will be career defining moments for Hurzeler and many of the players. Losing heavily and then responding with back to back wins against another Top 4 team should instill huge resilience should another hefty loss comes their way later down the line in their careers.
Hats off to Fab and the boys. After the 7-0 defeat and poor home record, you couldn't write a better turn around: beating the team we arguably despise the most at the moment twice at home in a week and clawing back some of the goal difference. Absolutely fantastic. True character from the...
Trying to put this season in perspective reminds me a little of the Gus' first season in the Championship. Some great results, paired with nightmare performances like the 3-1 defeat to Palace at home (#FFSMurray) and 6-0 to West Ham away. The result was an upper mid table finish. I expect the...
Agreed. One of, if not my favourite ever away day. Non-stop singing after the goal until the final whistle and beyond! My dad and I got the last two sausage, cheese, bean melts from Gregg's on the way back to the station. Perfect day!
The thing is, it appears extremely hard to find somebody who fits those attributes. Lineker is rare in that he managed to suppress his outspoken nature off-screen and was as close to a neutral pundit as you could get due to his love for Leicester (aka a non glory hunter team) which only added to...
Bagged a ticket as it went down to members! Delighted as I live in Suffolk and might be one and only time to see Albion at Portman Road in the away end. Get in!!
Some quite unwise comments on here, whatever your politics or thoughts on the conflict. Why should non-military Israelis be subject to attacks when they come to the Netherlands, a nation that has next to nothing to do with the Middle East (apart from the minorities that live in all western...
I have no idea to the answer but this is a great thread. These are the kind of questions the so-called "pundits" should be asking and answering. Instead, it's the tired old clichés and rhetorical questions, like "Hürzeler would have been pleased with that after being 2-0 down."
I remember...
Caicedo. I am still convinced that he is one of the best in the world in his position, and Chelsea have tried their best to ruin him, as they always do. If he'd gone to any other team he'd have been thriving.
