If VAR is good enough for the veteran supporters we all aspire to become, it should be good enough for us.

Like our elite sportsmen and commentary teams, I am already in training. 5 mins of wringing my hands, before moving on without a mention...

I watched the copa libertadores. A fun 120mins of different styles, with enough brutality, by our current standards, to have had plenty of red cards. One manager was described as the Anti-Pep.

SSN just concerned about a crisis to such a new sport, that only began with the Premiership, sorry Premier League as it can only be called now. 🙂

Fraser is doing some post match press ... "We work to the last kick...great team spirit...12th Man of the fans vital...one in particular, called conv..." oh, my stream has gone now too... 🙂

Working till the end!

Yaaaay!

Days of glory to pass down to our grandkids. Meh 🙂 Is it Dean they have off to the side on Soccer Saturday? I thought he was being kept apart in case the others throttled him.

I have blotted out all memory of the awful spell 🙂 I see he's still a United player, just on loan. That's some contract he's got.

Oh is he there? I didn't see that. Linked endlessly. Was he not coming, but the loan fee/wages were supposedly too high? We might have gone for Tino after that, which worked out. I lazily thought that Williams had spent so long playing reserve football, that it would stop him progressing. Seeing him being meh at Norwich a few times probably didn't change my mind.

16 incomings last season, and 6 this. A smattering of man utd, Chelsea and spurs youngsters on frees or loans. Based on that exhaustive 15 seconds of research, suggests they built last season to stay comfortably up, and then added to the strongest core they had last time out.

I wish photographers wouldn't take such unnecessary risks. Someone will get hurt trying to take an extreme weather snapshot.

Here's a summary... We used words...aggressive...aggressive...aggressive...aggressive...press...aggressive...aggressive...press...real good numbers...aggressive...press aggressively...aggressive...aggressive...

Just what I was typing. I thought Ferguson had a team in decline, with resources tightened in a way that changed for later managers to spend a fortune. Yet, as the embodiment of the club from near top to bottom, he dragged them over the line. As soon as he was gone the usual sorts swarmed around, probably all thinking they had a huge role in all that success. Fernandez is leading them by example. His moaning, selfish brittleness and inability to play for others is reflected right through the club. Great to see. Also shows bigger clubs can fall away, at least a bit, giving hope to others. Until the rest are bought over by country sized investment funds anyway. Great to see Tino doing well. It reflects well on us in getting other future stars through the door.

The last link in the coaching chain, leading us to promotion. A superb appointment! The coaching equivalent of bringing in Asprilla, just as things were going well. A disastrous appointment! I'll pop back at the end of the season for a quick edit. I can only hope for the best without knowing anything about his coaching. 🙂

That sounded quite specific. ... checks front covers of tomorrow's papers... "Saints fan lamps Hancock" "Turkish receives grateful thanks of nation." 'on yer bike, Hancock!' shouts Saints hero Turkish." 🙂

This is just my stepping stone forum. 🙂

And from the second game of the season onwards? 🙂
