Sheaf Saint

Hopefully we can put in a performance and result that will make it an unforgettable experience for him. My brother and his nipper have finally managed to get out of Bahrain and are in transit back to England as I type. My nephew is football mad and was in the Tekkers academy in Bahrain that's sponsored by Saints. I'm really hoping that my membership and 3 aways this season will be enough to make me eligible to buy tickets to take him. After the shitness he's had to face recently - losing his mum and then 2 days later finding himself in a fucking warzone - it would be amazing to be able to take him to see Saints at Wembley.

Can we beat City?

Their first 11 is probably better than the team that started for Arsenal last night.

Oh what a fucking surprise 🙄

Terrible first pen for Leeds

Nope. It was the right call.

It's only a straight red if it is deemed to be violent conduct. Otherwise only a yellow. He wasn't angry or arguing with the ref, he just wanted him to get out of the way so he could take a quick free kick. If course the fact that the ref was standing over the ball should have been a clue that he wasn't going to allow that anyway, so it was a bit dumb but it certainly wasn't violent.

Not watched but does it feature a grumpy bloke telling us to grow up?

Can't believe I've only just got this 🤦

Edit: duplicate post

He has been much improved, I agree. But he still made a few bad errors last night that on another day could have been costly. You only need to look back at the comments on this thread during the game to see that I'm not alone in thinking that. I'm just making the point that if he does have to miss the semi final, he's not irreplaceable.

Putting any faith in anything from either a football commentator or an AI is a bit foolish. Let's wait and get clarification from the club. And while I don't want to detract from an amazing night and a superb team performance, if there was one player last night who wouldn't be too badly missed in the next round (providing his ready made replacement is fit, of course), it's Manning.

Yep. I was dubious about wanting us to go up only to get embarrassed again like last season. But it's the only way we're going to see the likes of Leo, Peretz and Charles still playing for us next season, and I have total faith that this team with Tonda at the helm would be light years better than our last PL team.
