The Cat

Karl Robinson doesn't care about the game so they'll probably rest a few http://www.onemk.co.uk/sport/football/mk-dons/2015/9/karl-robinson-insists-he-doesnt-care-about-southampton-game-with-derby-county-following-so-soon-190920150046.html

Did anyone get chucked out at the top of block 2 after they equalised? I was too far away to tell but saw all the stewards up there.

2500 of them are probably people buying tickets to get an extra away game but won't go. I know a few who have done it.

Looks fine to me. Strolled through the game last week and was the best player on the pitch. Obviously had more to do today but did OK. Remember he's playing alongside a whole new defence and today was against one of the best teams in the country.

They were alright but not as good as they've been in the past. Spent too long in and outside the ground singing "you're just a small town in Portsmouth" which is the sort of crappy thing lower league fans do. There were loads by their coaches after the game singing nonsense while filming themselves with silly grins on their faces which was extremely lame.

Yeah, ok, there's always going to be a few people who really have to leave early. But there were thousands heading for the exits until we scored the second when they scurried back from the concorse. There's more than some truth in the "you've only come to see United" chant.

He forced Van Gaal to sub Darmian at half time. In fact in all the periods during the game when we played well he was heavily involved. When we sat back and let them dictate play he, like the rest of our team, did little.

How many shots did they have on target? I barely remember Steklenberg making a save whereas De Gea pulled off qute a few. Surrendering possession after 30 minutes lost us that game. Suddenly we sat back when we'd been largely taking the game to them and causing problems. All the idiots that left early though. Seriously have a look at yourselves. The chap behind us left as soon as their 3rd went in saying "I've had enough of this" then with 10 minutes to go people were streaming towards the exits from every block. Fucking twats the lot of them.

If this game didn't sell out in time then there won't be many that do. Picked my MK tickets yesterday and asked if today had sold out. Was told that there were still a few single seats left, so officially it wasn't. There will often be a few singles lurking about so anyone waiting to sell their seat for a game through this method will find it tough.

The woman behind me at West Brom didn't shut up all game. Didn't sing once but had a heroic bout of verbal diarrhoea. I saw a chap in a tweed cap with a beard and skinny jeans.There's plenty of them watching Dulwich Hamlet these days but they don't make up even a tiny percentage of our support.

You can buy liquids in various grades of nicotine strength from 0 to maybe 30mg although why anyone needs that much is beyond me. There's pretty much only 4 main ingredients in vape juice. Vegetable glycerin, propylene glycerin, flavours and nicotine.

He played there for the Nazi XI. With Goebbels on the right wing they were the 1930's equivalent of Stuart Ripley and Jason Wilcox.

A few tried to get "Van Dijk, in the middle of defence" started on Saturday but it fizzled out quite quickly.

Buying papers is an outdated model though. It's all about website traffic now and it wasn't until the Mail introduced their celebrity clickbait sidebar of shame that they overtook the Guardian as the most read newspaper website. This is one if the reasons the Telegraph sacked great swathes of their staff on the printed paper and replaced them with a bunch of young, lower paid journos who are happy to write buzzfeed type nonsense to increase the number of hits to their website. It's pretty much reached the stage that if you are quantifying people's views by which paper they read, the number of physical copies sold becomes somewhat irrelevant.

Obviously he should have sung it because the fallout from not doing so isn't worth the hassle, however our national anthem is a horrible dirge of a song which features ridiculous lyrics where a fictitious character is asked to look after someone who was born into their job and who many people have little interest in. I'm not sure what other people think is worth celebrating about our country, but to me it's not an over privileged out dated and frankly embarrassing Royal Family being watched over by something that doesn't exist. But yeah, it's tradition so we'll all crack on.

How long do you keep playing someone who isn't performing to the best of their ability if there are other players who could do a better job in the squad?

It will be interesting to revisit this thread in a year or two to see if people are as good (or bad) at judging politicians as they are at footballers.

I vape. Was never a heavy smoker but needed something to help me quit and it has worked. My advice is to get a 50w istick and pair it with an Aspire Atlantis. Some of the liquids you can get taste gorgeous, no way would I ever go back to cigarettes now. Even having only being a social smoker using a vape has made me feel physically better. It's also a damn sight cheaper and doesn't make your clothes stink. The only chemical to get addicted to in vape juice is the nicotine, and then you can lower the dosage depending on how much you feel you need to feed that, whereas in tobacco there are thousands of nasty chemicals entering the body. I personally do not see any downside to vaping. A lot of people I know have switched to it now and barely any of them have felt the need to smoke a normal fag since. Many of the scare stories surrounding the use if vapes come from tobacco industry financed studies because they are running scared.

Singing about having VD is surely more relevant 16 miles east?

I don't know The9, however while queing to get on the Aarhus flight I was amused to hear a number of Saints fans taking sweepstake bets on how many pictures his group of friends would post of themselves boarding the plane. I think the winner had 72 or thereabouts. I can only sympathise with anyone having to view that, or anything on Facebook come to think of it.

We might have sounded louder than West Brom yesterday but that was more to do with them not singing than us making a lot of noise. At least next week we can trot out the highly original "do you come from Manchester" routine to stop the Man Utd juggernaut of songs firmly in its tracks.

Decent point, just wish we'd gone for it a bit more with another sub in the last 15 and tried to sneak the win. Van Dijk strolled through the game and his distribution was excellent. Looks like we've picked up another gem, he was my MOTM. Not a great atmosphere. We had over 2500 there but most only seemed to want to make a noise when Lambert went off. Take a look at the players wearing our shirt and maybe think about singing for them eh? Tough run of games coming up now so it's encouraging that we are keeping clean sheets because we'll need our defence to be solid.

I don't want Gary Monk, I want Monk from here to take over. Imagine all the incredible ITK snippets we'd get then?

Only a handful of tickets left now.
