  1. Unfortunately Kenny's 9th booking was another of Mr Madleys interesting decisions on Wednesday.
  2. I'll repost what I've put on the osp minutes thread which is relevant to this thread
  3. Interesting on away coach travel it was suggested that a previous discount scheme could be reintroduced? Very strange that the panel, supporters& staff appear unaware that you get a free coach trip with 10 stubs which applies to all travellers, season ticket holders or others.
  4. Interesting I'm pretty sure it used to be 31st August but these things change. Like the time they brought our the season ticket flier on my 60th birthday,changing concessions to over 65 & they'd used my photo on the flier!! Lucky I'd bought 3 years in advance & they had to honour it.
  5. Believe its the date at start of season. PS How did my junior get to be that old 🤣
  6. In fairness to Wagner, I saw the ref show the yellow card to Sainz in the aftermath of the Sargent goal. We assumed for kicking the ball into the stand, (an offence he did not punish the QPR 30 for doing exactly the same after the first goal).
  7. What makes it even funnier is that they managed to stuff up signing two players the year before because of similar incompetence.
  8. Nothing to do with us obviously but Martin Keowns analysis of Man U was so familiar. Spoke of the problems of not having anyone sitting in front of the back four & also lamented the tactic of one of the midfielders dropping in beteeen the centr backs to make a back 3. It seems to work for Man U as well as it does for us
  9. Bizarrely a pair of glasses came flying over my head & onto the roof in front when we scored the second goal. Oh & if you want w****r signs Paul Mariner was vert adept at them whilst pulling down his shorts
  10. He played at Wrexham against Wales. Believe Peter Taylor, later temporary England manager, & several others also made their debut the same night. A car load of us went to Wrexham to cheer him on.
  11. True it was the question but was asked by a man ( name could be supplied)
  12. Not the actual day but a ‘milestone’ birthday weekend was completed by Holty’s hatrick against Ip****t. PS & Wesley scored the other one
  13. Slight problem to rearranging this as the following week is League Cup 5th round which the Binners could be in.
  14. My neighbour has just found the actual postcard. Missing back Worrell Next row Whitehouse & Parnell Front. Not Tough, so actually Lloyd, Price, Turner & Howlett The directors etc she did tell me the order but I've forgotten(old age) but include Watling, Fish Robinson Jex, Hanley directors, Willie Reid manager, Bert Westwood secretary & two trainers Cann & Mongomery
  15. I’ll have a go Sutton, Scott?, Hill, Thurlow, Mannion, Waites, Lythgoe, Savino, ??, Williamson Burton, Conway, Mullett, Allcock, Kennon, Barnsley?, Applegate? Dow, Butlker, Nixon, ??, McCrohan, ??, Crowe, Punton, sundry directors & Westwood (secretary) Ashman Tough, ??, ??, Howlett One or two guesses & working on the rest
  16. You have of course watched the Man City youth in the two u21 games? The very notion you suggest him clearly means you haven't. Way of first team level at present
  17. As someone who was actually there I'm amazed by some of the comments. The pace the ball came in ,I do not believe Haarland would have scored. He had zero time to adjust. I was far more disappointed with Onel's tame back pass after a good move opened up a real clear shot. Also Adam did a great deal better than the man he replaced who was invisible
  18. I bought my ticket from Kings Lynn. I don’t believe City sold any tickets for this game. Sorry can’t beat them with that stick
  19. This is not a reaction to yesterday. I said last season although Gunn was playing quite well, our results were better with Krul. I don’t think Gunn marshalls his defence well. He is a decent shot stopper but some of his positional play is questionable.
  20. Probably said the same thing myself but a balance is needed.We’ve been here before in 2016/17 with an aging squad but we did have a couple of assets to sell & then we’re able to recruit from Europe
  21. I’m aware that footballers keep themselves in better condition these days. However I do worry that, by November, 11 of our 25 man squad will be 30 plus. This does suggest an almost all or nothing approach this season as at least some will have to be replaced next season. I assume the thinking is that some of our u21 signings will replace (if prove to be good enough) but it’s a bit of a gamble. certainly yesterday our aging central defence looked every day of their age against young quick attackers. I also worry that 4 of our 25 are goalkeepers, take out our injuries & we do look threadbare
  22. I'll try. Idah scored 2 out of 3 chances & was a bit unlucky with the other. Forshaw looked decent when he came on. Placheta probably deserves a chance. Thats it
