Her brother Wan is a great player as well.

If only Mr Wayman hadn't suffered that injury

Can anyone explain to me why it is we have so long off? I was content with this, until I realised even with us being behind on matches, most teams are still playing this weekend… There was a championship game last night as well… Odd.

Ah, the déjà vu thread. Clicking on it is like rewatching a murder mystery for the hundredth time, knowing full well who did it and what everyone’s response is.

They were seemingly quite good when we played them in pre-season. Either that or we were terrible.

Coach or Goalkeeper preference? Gary Qatar champagne socialist Neville always says how Peter Schmeichel hated deflections and actively told defenders to avoid such cases.

What if I told you it was the right wing.

Got to love a wartime game, 79 years prior to today. Same day the Soviets began the Battle of Berlin in fact.

Sunderland (H)

I would like to get back to the ultra corrupt league, but only due to bragging rights - I can’t handle being below the likes of Bournemouth and Brighton, with Pompey on their way up. Staying in this league with little money and becoming the new Stoke / Swansea isn’t appealing to me. A sad existence awaits us and competing as we are year after year isn’t realistic. Having said that I believe it will be Leeds and Leicester top 2, with Hull winning the play offs.

Breathing in toxic plastic chemicals and asbestos just for a meaningless game against Sunderland. This vs the Leicester game of 2019 will surely be debated in years to come as the “I stayed longer” glory hunter test.

Running to the railroad track, run along with Captain Jack.

Apparently if the games rescheduled Brooks can’t play as he’s cup tied

Worlds gone soft, play on!! Welcome to Hell Preston.

Makes me feel ill these. 5 mins late it is…

I was on the left hand side - nothing from them all game. The right side was the loudest but still seemed a sh*tter version of our Itchen North / Northam set up. Maybe their “kop” simply takes potential singers away from these areas leaving little loud peoples scattered around. Or perhaps it’s acoustics as I thought our fans were fairly loud but from videos it doesn’t seem the case.

Couldn't hear that from my side, but still funny.

I’m 1/99 sure they were brought in for betting purposes. That and giving stinky people (also known as football staticians) jobs.

Fans chanting Will Smallbones name in a nice moment at the end only for Russell Martin to steal the moment by doing his fist pumps in the middle of it 🤣🤦‍♂️ w⚓️

Finally going to an away this season (not been since Sheff Wed). Getting my vocal cords warmed up ready for this one: Football in a library, Gabbiadini and Rickie Lambert songs already performed in the mirror to a monk like rhythm.

Is that the identity of a brattish unsportsmanlike reaction to losing and persistence on playing out from the back. A style which has currently got us finishing 4th in what should really be a three horse race at worst. There are certain styles where you actually have a go at opposition teams to attempt to win. The last 20 mins or so of Millwall was a disgrace.

Has this ever been sung? I must say I don’t get many’s emphasis on a Church Spurs style OWTS, acting like it’s so magical. It’s dull, boring, and frankly hard for the lungs to sing. I’d much rather return to the Triumphial versions of owts putting everyone in a good mood. As long as there’s no backboard bashing it shouldn’t be too quick. Get rid of the call and response. That way you can simply add more lines such as this and drown out the opposing teams - which I see as the main reason of utilising the song.

The success of this system promotion wise is of little benefit or disadvantage to Martin. These days, the pure fact a manager plays this style is enough to gain their way up the pole of top jobs.

It’s awful. Martin is really starting to piss me off. Decision making and personality.

We go into this one as clear favourites. They have a depleted squad with many injuries to star players. They only have 60 points this season, we have 67. Anfield is a tough ground to play at, they’ll struggle.
