Three years ago yesterday, we go top of the league with this result... I reckon our strongest 11 now could give that team a good run for their money...

I take it you don't visit the Brexit thread too often...?

Just switched over to Arsenal v Man City on BBC2 to witness a comical howler from the City keeper 😂

Tempting, but I'll pass...

So, that's almost as annoying as those twats that start every f***ing sentence with 'so'

I think it's probably a combination of the two... I.e. yes, there's an element of the players getting more and more used to "Russ-ball" at play in recent game, but I'm also seeing an element of pragmatism in his approach that wasn't there a month or so ago.

I do that to annoy tailgaters... Works a treat...

Fixed it for you...

Not so sure that's a great idea given how shite the postal service is here in deepest darkest Devon...

But, surely, the more people they can get onboard with the cause, the more likely the government are to listen to them?

Fair enough. Probably best to get people on their side rather than piss people off then...

Do they want to piss people off or get people on their side?

Yep, I think those of us who expressed doubts during that torrid period, did so out of genuine concern for the way we were playing. Martin does indeed seem to have addressed those valid concerns, so here's hoping this positivity continues. If results are still encouraging cometh the turn of the year then I can see myself submitting an application to the Russell Martin fanclub.

If that's the case, then I have no issue with it (I'm not really up to speed with the ins and outs of this situation, I just assumed, from what I'd heard/read, that they were aiming to coincide with the Armistice ceremony, rather than avoid it, but if what you say is correct, i.e. that the two events won't coincide, then fair enough, live and let live...)
