He's deserved that. Brilliant

stop the count

Let's hope we can keep this going. Not a huge amount on the bench unfortunately.

Jeeeeees. Possibly one too many chances going begging here.

Should have buried that, nipper.

Isn't it funny that in this brand new stadium the away fans are behind one if the goals. I thought it was just us.

Tyro League stuff from Spurs there. Great stuff Broja.

Elyounoussi has started well.

Nice line up. Still a big job on our hands. The likelihood of a draw I quite low I feel.

18 months later https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/jan/21/pep-guardiola-will-make-manchester-city-contract-decision-at-end-of-season I think highly unlikely Man C will just leave him in place for the duration of that contract. Secondly Ralph is not Pep Guardiola.

No football manager in the history of world football gets to announce their resignation two and a half years before they plans to go. It's a crazy thing to do.

Seems an absolutely crazy decision to announce that now. Our form is not strong enough for him to last two and a half seasons. Next time we go on a slump, which won't be far away, it will get blamed on the announcement, and then the next time it will get blamed on him winding down, or the players not respecting his long term authority. Or both. Beginning of the end.

That's not the "simplest solution" and it's not an "easy win" as has been covered by the club multiple times over many, many years.

But just moving the away end is a piece of piss with no issues at all.

I'm sure plenty have going longer than me but I first went to St James Park twenty plus years ago and we were eight miles up and 27 flights of stairs back then. Wolves maybe ten years ago but was down the sides too. So not sure why people are making out this is some new thing happening now at other clubs.

We're such a soft touch.

The way people are going on on here you'd think we're the only bloody club in the country that puts away fans behind one of the goals. It's pretty common you know. Jesus wept.

Reading the reports I am intrigued why she has a "spokeswoman". Who's that then. She is not The First Lady, she has no role.

4 will be on TV bare minimum, especially as the early round replays all got canned. I would imagine there may be one or two of 6 o'clock kick offs for ITV4. This is year one of the BBC/ITV deal so will be interesting to see the approach.

Er, no.

Once we have a Saints fan in Downing Street all of this will be sorted out no problem.

I thought the issue was to create a Kop style full end of super passionate singers. Like the Kop, say. Which yeah you're right is located right next to where the away fans are. Oh. Right.

I see it's one of those midweek rounds - Tues/Wed/Thurs 1/2/3 March.

The tradition of draws being a stupid times continues. At least this time is actually on a mainstream TV channel. ITV at about twenty to twelve before the Liverpool match (and before the other Sundays matches) We are ball 6. My inside source says we will definitely be away to Stoke City.

If you all get on with changing your seats next summer then all of that is not beyond the wit of man etc etc etc. Go and sit where you want.
