I really hope he doesn’t go with Stephens but think he will

There was an issue with my card they were refunding on apparently for the first two matches (there shouldnt have been , theres nothing wrong with it) so i gave them my bank account details and asked if changing them online would mean all future refunds would go there. Yes, was they reply, that should save any problems. So I did. Made no difference, refunds don't go into my bank account or onto my card, I had to phone for a refund for matches 3 and 4 and looks very much like I will have to do the same for matches 5 & 6.

With everyone heading for the shops (in areas where they are still all open) to do their Christmas shopping it’s no wonder numbers are going up. I expect some of the great unwashed down the road have hit the shops in West Quay as well.

Same

Absolutely. I think Redmond has been poor since the first "come back" games in June. He's regressed under Ralph's system whilst others have flourished. I too thought he would come on yesterday with a determined "i'll show you" attitude but he was crap, might as well have left Djenepo on.

Yes I assumed the reason he had played so many minutes recently was in an effort to shake off the rustiness but given his injury record as soon as there is an issue spotted then caution is needed. The way Ralph spoke had this game been against Sheffield Utd or Fulham etc he wouldnt have been risked.

I dont think its coincidence that Redmond has looked pretty poor, or average if I'm being kind, since games after lockdown back in June. As the team have become more and more what Ralph wants he has become more and more on the fringes. I would sell in January if anyone wants him. We have plenty of choices in his position and a couple of great crosses from Tella yesterday suggested if we had injuries etc he could provide cover out wide as well. My main concern is Bertrand. I have always loved him and still want him to sign a contract BUT going forward and playing in this system KWP has really shown what we are missing on that left side from an attacking full back. He is twice the danger going forward that Bertrand is and we look much more of a threat on the right than the left. So maybe it is time we went looking for a young left back who like KWP is down the pecking order at his club but has the potential. Sounds like Williams would only be cover on the left as he's right footed so probably not him.

Yeah I would rather he be fit to face Fulham and West Ham. Like you say hindsight is a wonderful thing though.

He really is a big team ref isn’t he? Absolutely shocking, the sooner the arrogant twat retires the better.

Have you been taking twat pills today or something? Your posts today have been ridiculous

Thought we were worth a point there to be honest. Great effort from the players. I will say however I can see why Redmond is limited to sub appearances at the moment.

I wonder if he might start Ings on the bench, bring Redmond or Djenepo in and put Theo through the middle then bring Danny on in the second half. It’s just his talk of “managing minutes” that makes me wonder. He may drop Armstrong to the bench as he’s mentioned before about being careful with him due to his injury record.

Remember that in reality its 1300 odd tickets go in the ballot after they've taken out corporate and the uber fans so if there are 10,000 season ticket holders those next three games you list will only take it up to about 7,000 succesfull in the ballot. You may have to wait until Villa.....or Wolves 🙁

I had exactly the same, email 25/11, tracking number bloody useless......mine turned up by Royal Mail yesterday 🙂

Oh bugger yeah of course 🤣

yeah i was wondering the same as it must be easier to park closer than a normal matchday

Just got our two tickets for Saturday by email 😀

I'm sure Theo would want to play against Arsenal but it could well be he starts on the bench.

What about exiting the stadium? How is that handled?

Yes especially with Tella scoring four yesterday he must really be prime for a loan in January

I wonder if the sticking point is Bertrand wants 3 years to see him through to 35 (and possibly the end of his playing career) and the club are only offering 2 years as with Long. Its a very valid point about him needing to be replaced, or at least have serious competition, in the next 18 months or so. I guess thats why Ralph seems so keen on Williams at United.

well Ryan has supposedly been close to signing since early August according to sources, inc The Athletic I believe. I'm hoping its right obviously but not holding me breath just yet....

Was Carragher this bad last season when Liverpool got every VAR decision going? Thought not 🤣 And that interview with Ings was terrible, I’m glad Danny looked up and said “I don’t really know what you want me to say”

I do wonder why taking the knee gets included in highlights of every single match shown on Match Of The Day. We get it, we know its happening, but does it really need to be shown ? "Oh look what a wonderful technique from Patrick Bamford, look how he's got himself into position so well to take the knee"....

Not just him. Michael Holding has expressed similar views. Are footballers going to continue to take the knee indefinitely then ? Is this now part of the pre-kick off ritual? I understand why they do it and there is no issue with it whatsoever but I did think this would happen for a few weeks (the end of last season) and at the start of this season be quitely retired. There's gonna be hell to pay when teams decide to stop doing it. Didnt QPR get hammered a couple of months ago for not participating ?
