True but he answers the questions asked and does not suffer from verbal diarrhoea like the two directors !

Hughes open and humorous, comes across much better than the BS merchants sat on his left hand side !

For all of those who are slating the 3-5-2 formation, please cast your minds back to the final 8 games of last season when Mark Hughes dragged us from the brink of disaster : ie. http://www.skysports.com/football/swansea-vs-soton/teams/373404 It may not be perfect all the time but it has had it's uses when required ! Just saying, like !

It may seem strange to some people but both of those things really bug me ! The red carpet is so bright that it seems to reflect towards your eyes and is really off-putting and the music totally kills the art of conversation ! One ray of hope though, they did play the "Woolston Ferry" at HT which I haven't heard at SMS for years

The word is that he could be the 'new Thierry Henry' :)

Huddersfield, Cardiff & Newcastle

In a nutshell this sums up the situation but many idiots on here choose to assume the worst ! Because the current directors are not rated, it is assumed that no safeguards have been built and that would really would surprise me ! Why not ask for some details at the upcoming 'fans forum' and in the meantime, cut the negativity and support the team !!

Fitzhugh Fella and a number of others, HTH !

Strange, I showed my confirmation letter before I received the ST and I got the 10% discount without question !

GTFI Was going to miss the Chelskie match because of a big golf competition on the Sat ! Sunday is perfect ! Gotta be a first as normally Sky screw me up big time !! Thanks Rupert, you’re a star !

With a small squad, I think that the Europa League matches will really stretch them to the limit and I think that they will struggle to emulate last season's success when they exceeded all expectations ! Should be good enough to stave off relegation but not much more IMHO !

I went on Saturday and I predict 2-1 Saints

Absolutely right, the whole thing is highly subjective but at least it confirms that Man U are (and always have been) a bunch of jammy bar stewards !

Those are the very obvious ones but Chelsea at home (no red card) and both Man City games (goals later than the added time) could easily have been included based on their criteria ! I think that we did suffer last season but compared to Stoke, who actually went down because of it, perhaps we got off lightly !

I have no idea what the starting lineup will be and right now I’m not sure that Sparky does either ! We need to get back to the relegation mentality of the tail end of last season though, fight for every ball and die for the shirt ! Having witnessed the last 2 friendlies I am intrigued to see how things evolve but am not building my hopes up as there still appears to be weaknesses throughout the squad and the system ! COYS

Arrived this morning ! Nice little red wallet thingy rather than the over ostentatious big box ! Roll on the 12th of August !!

Getting a bit worried now as I’ll be in France the day before and going straight to the match without going home ! Need to receive it by Wed latest or I’m in trouble ! Surely it’ll come by then ????

Watched Angus in the warm up yesterday and he was 'mustard' - very agile and nimble for a big guy (6'5" apparently) - very impressive and then he came on for the second half and kept a clean sheet ! Can't say fairer than that !

You can still get your ST discount if you show your confirmation email (I did) but you are quite right about the unavailability of the away kit in particular, it's a disgrace that UA are unable to supply a basic product which was designed months ago ! They clearly have 'supply chain' issues and should be penalised for lost sales at the very least ! Shabby performance from a 'so called' top brand name in the sports clothing sector !

I found the lights last night to have a distinctly 'yellowy' tinge but were pretty effective ! The big downside for me (sitting in the Kingsland) was that the red 'carpet' seemed to glow so brightly that it distracted my eyeline away from the pitch !

Thanks for your report, I was going to give mine once I got home from the match but you have saved me the bother, right down to the 'carpet', music and lights ! A fine summary, old chap !

He specifically said the he 'hates what the PL has become' ! It is you who hates what SFC is !

I've just bought some new bathroom lights from John Lewis, any chance you could fit them for me ??? :)

It's a nice kit and should probably be the main one as it's predominantly our team colours (ok, maybe needs a bit more white) but is totally unnecessary apart from ripping off some of our more naive supporters ! The yellow/blue alternative covers all options so I really can't see when we'd need to wear this 3rd one in competitive games !

Apparently he's on £120k per week so I reckon that will knock this one on the head ! https://sillyseason.com/salary/chelsea-players-salaries-67985/
