It was a great ball in, but we will have to agree to disagree on Bart's total inaction. I would expect ANY keeper to at least attempt to deal with a ball played into the 6 yard area.
I was the old fart (53) there with my lad (29), a friend (in her 30s) and her son (about 11). All 4 of us left after 1 drink because of the utterly crushing volume of the music, having fully intended to watch the game, or at least most of it.
Maybe none of us were the demographic they were...
Plenty have mentioned the music. Absolutely deafening, it literally drove my son and me out of that place and back to the station with just half an hour of the Palace game gone, we couldn't take it any more (although maybe that was a blessing in itself). I was initially quite happy to have...
West Hams second goal was on him.
Good ball whipped in, but it was at head height into the 6 yard box. Bart should have been ALL OVER IT to punch it clear. Instead he stayed (uselessly) on his line to allow Soucek to head in. Poor.
The standard Palace to bye to the final AGAIN then.
Stockport
Doncaster
Millwall
Fulham
And a distracted Villa more interested in securing CL than anything else.
Then look at who we had.
Exactly.
My lad (in his twenties) went up to reception to have a grizzle and ask if the commentary could be put on, but got nowhere. It was SO DEAFENING that we left on 30 to get a train back to town to watch the rest of it. My ears were ringing. Which was a shame, as I was really pleased to...
I maybe wouldn't mind, but it's absolutely f*cking DEAFENING in here. You've literally got to bellow at each other to be heard.
Yes I'm old. Yes I'm going to the pub for the second half. Shame, could've been a perfect epilogue to a thrilling ending of our game. What's the point of having these...
I'm in The Terrace watching it. Shame they won't turn the F*CKING MUSIC off. Who wants music blaring when you're trying to watch the the FILTH get HUMPED 😡
STH crowds have ALWAYS been fickle - its just that these days, we now have realtime hard online data on all the fairweather 'can't be arsed' no-shows binning off their season ticket seats in advance, because they're taking Melanoma and Chlamydia skiiing the next day, or they want to be home for...
Worse. I believe that during excavation, they discovered some unmapped EDF piping and cabling.
One simply cannot understate the malevolent EVIL of offshore shareholders and investors. It was doomed from the start.
I was thinking about sloping into the Terrace for the Villa semi after our game on Satdee. But that place has been a complete and utter DISASTER for us since it opened, so you just know what will happen.
Maybe I'll give it a swerve.
Keys, wallet, phone. The holy trinity when you slope off out. Even though I have Google Pay on my phone, I can't IMAGINE not carrying a wallet with my cards, cash and ID. Its just what I do. I need to know where things are.
I have a mate who never carries a wallet. All his cash, notes and cards...
Don't mind Dirty Leeds coming up, they're usually quite entertaining, in a clown car sense.
But having Burnley back in the Prem is like having a BORING cousin at a BBQ. For the most part you don't notice they're there. But when you eventually have to engage - kinell. You just can't wait for...
- You get a free pint with your £6 ticket. Perhaps you should only accept half a pint if you can only see the game and not hear it.
- SEATS are there if you get there early enough. I got there at half 1 and there were plenty, in fact tables were still available at around 2pm as we nicked a...
