VILLAMARV

I thought he had his chance against Luton, no? First one out the door for me.

Made me laugh at least when he was stood pointing at midfielders while Wolves players literally walked into space behind him. Absolute joke.

I liked the look of him to be honest. Poor delivery all game, kinda like watching Albrighton a few years back. But he worked his socks off imo and that counted for something.

as someone has already said, hanging on for a point at home to Wolves kinda shows where we are, that was quite symbolic to me. On the plus side we're hard to beat and we're not shiping huge amounts of goals. On the other side we dont have a clue when we have the ball. Ayew's abscence was obvious today. Looking for any positive I can cling to I like the look of Adomah, We looked more organised at set pieces to me today and I'm crediting Bruce with that. Richards left pointing while players drifted into space behind him made me laugh openly which was the most fun I had after the penalty going in, McCormack did well first half, we had to bring on Hutton & Baker and didnt throw the point away at the end. I know in reality we were awful and lucky thanks mainly to the ref (not only the penalty but both Chester and Grealish could have walked today) but I gotta look for any positives. Seeing Richards and Hutton again made me feel even more sorry for DeLaet. Or us. Good point though. At home. To Wolves. &*$% me.

I'm surprised at Tyson for suggesting I give homosexuality a go.

We are already that special case aren't we? But totally agree with the rest.

Least of a **** I've ever given about sacking a manager. Saturday was a shambles.

Well the one thing he has done very well so far is prove I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Bruce would probably do just what we need. Personally I'd hate it if he got the job. McCarthy, Warnock, Dyche, Hughton all fit the bill of no nonsense back to basics managers for me. Pearson and Big Sam rule themselves off that list obviously, but if we dont get real about the league we're in we could be here some time. Clarke is in an interesting/weird position, a whole bunch of wins as caretaker could make him a viable candidate. Rowett's a whole can of worms I'd rather avoid tbh. But McCarthy for me, his sense of humour would put a smile on our faces, but his honesty is what's needed imo. Dyche is probably out of reach for us right now and Big Sam has shafted himself. Hughton has a good squad working for him at Brighton, I can't see him trading that in for us.

I do hope this doesnt go the way of the westwood thread. Be a shame to have another one I never bother to read I for one was happy to accept he isnt Pirlo before we bought him. He is the least of our worries imo. Esecially in midfield. Even after a shocker yesterday I've got a bit more hope in the idea that Tish/Jedi might do us alright for a bit.

Micah Richards came on and we didn't lose? I need a sit down.

Get in! Kodjia 1-0

The thing for me is even if he's past his best and even if that best was never that good anyway, I'm still thinking we need his physicality in the middle of the park really, really badly. I think Sunday highlighted this as well.

That'll do donkey, that'll do.

and we can also agree on things look

Well that's the beauty of opposing views right, we can disagree about things I see no bitterness in his posts. I think his original posts at least give a pretty fair view of him but hey it's only his opinion on a player he's seen play more than the vast majority of us. Far be it from me to interject in you getting all angry and stuff, you carry on. If you were actually interested I think the thing that 'possessed me' was my moderate viewpoint.

No @Butterfingers it's a joke. The winky thing sorta gives that one away

Indeed.

Personally I'm expecting us to ruin him like we have every striker since Deano/Yorke

Yeah stop disrespecting us with your well thought out, well presented views on a player you have fond memories of......splitter.

I loved that kit. It's also one of the only times I ever got to laud it over all the glory hunting Liverpool supporters in school. And for us 70's kids they're EVERYWHERE!! This game is still talked about between me n my friends. They still hold a grudge against Souness for selling us Staunton, Houghton and Deano

Can't get enough them boys eh?

Aye, good shout, when I looked at the line up they stood out and get good word of mouth live. I think it was Noel Gallagher headlining on Sunday. As we were leaving crowds were funneling out of watching the David Bowie tribute act - but this aint unusual for No6 some of the crew were telling me they like a nice festival supergroup and they do promote a lot of creativity rather than just churning out stuff. The Gatehouse was really cool, sort of cinema/stand up/music venue. One of the band I was with was raving about the Ennico Morricone scores being played in there with shots form the films they were from running in the background that he had caught the night before. I noticed Shaun Ryder on the line up for that venue, think Craig Charles was doing his funk thing in there too. It being in North Wales there's obviously a few Welsh speaking bands and that and that means ceilidh punk-folk loveliness and whispy dreamy floaty stuff with flutes and violins and that with plenty of Cymru am byth. Really diverse musically. 2 dance tents. Everything there you want from a festival and with attention to detail that does put it above many of its ilk. I would definitely recommend it if there's kids in tow. With all the walkabout stuff and cabaret stage the procession through Portmeirion on the Saturday is quite the spectacle apparently, though I was a day late for that!

Thought I'd answer you here @rubberman save heading wildly OT

Just got asked this in the Kodjia thread. Thought I'd answer here rather than head OT in the Kodjia thread. Pretty. That's the first thing. Portmeirion is an amazing place on it's own. Throw in the madness of No6 and I'd say it's one of the prettiest festivals i've ever seen. There's stuff all around the actual village and you could spend a day just marvelling at the Sir Clough Williams-Ellis architecture. I'm not sure how big it is numbers wise (15,000 capacity maybe) but it's big. Lots of people. It's quite twee. Your more seasoned festival goer would describe it as a more 'middle-class festival' and a few people did exactly that on the performers bus out of there. Lots of middle aged people wandering around with gin and tonics and glasses of rose. But maybe that's more to do with the line up. I don't know. Despite the nice weather around the country they got quite a bit of rain and as I alluded to earlier I was driving for one of the bands, so headed in and out on Sunday but as I wasn't performing I got a good wander round. It was muddy. Although there are ALOT of concrete paths all around the place due to it being a tourist attraction anyway so once you're off the actual fields of the campsites and main arena not a boots only environment. Also one of the long stay car parks down in Portmadog looked like it had flooded (well they were parking them on the estuary banks??) no one was getting off that one without a tractor and we passed a few people heading home early on the way up there pushing bits of plastic back into their wheelarches and the like. The parking looks a ball-ache although as its a heritage site they need to keep the traffic away from the actual site and they do provide very regular shuttle busses. Artists weren't even allowed to drive in. Although there was a seperate short stay carpark and shuttle bus for all the artists (and all the blacked out coaches and tour busses ) with a little army of golf buggys ready to get the equipment and artists off to their stages. this was pretty efficient too I have to say. The live in vehicle field and campsite seemed to funnel through the family camping area to get onto the site which i thought was a little weird, They went for closer proximity rather than seclusion for the families basically. But on that note very family friendly. Lots of people of all ages which is always good i feel. Didn't spend a huge amount of time in the main arena as I was only there for a few hours and wanted to see what little gems I could root out (But guess what the main stage is a main stage. Probably had all the main acts on it too!! ). LOTS of different stages. LOTS of variation. You wont be stuck for finding things to do that's for sure. Toilets were particularly rough, and Ive seen a few down the years, but then to be fair it was Sunday afternoon. Half the boys had been there the whole weekend - they were also saying how pretty it was. Loads of walkabout stuff, great use of lighting etc. Definately the sort of festival where you can be stood in a quiet place having a beer and something is going to walk past every now and then and make you all go 'look at THAT'. One of the guys in particular has a new favourite festival and was raving about how it's the best festival in the UK. There was lager involved at this point. But he was totally serious. Bars and Coffee places all that stuff, well its a big festival so its all the commercial side of it. Nice semi permanent wooden structures and that, pretty soulless though. but then I am a bit of a Canvas whore when it comes to structures. Anyway I digress, Beers/food/coffee/tea etc pretty standard. Normal festival sort of prices but not overly extortionate. There is some posh restaurant in portmeirion which was open as usual to any festival goers but how many takers they had at £70 a head for breakfast I don't know but MANY people who i stopped and chatted with were telling that tale, in fact it was pretty much talk of the festival lol. Having said that if you're after a Luxury/Quality festival this would be the one. Blessed with such an amazing site and for anyone that doesn't know of Portmeirion I really can't stress that enough, blessed, You'd be silly not to go for the higher end of the market and theres plenty of choice out there for everyone eh. Punters mainly consisted of scouse and mancs, but then it's North Wales innit. Nice though, really nice vibe, bit too nice for my own personal taste but if you're in the habit of paying upwards of £180 on a festival ticket you couldn't leave the place disappointed unless you were mentally ill.
