  1. Chambers having a rough night as he just doesn't have the pace to recover. I'd bring Cash on for sure. Be tempted to bring Diaby on too.
  2. Seems we've woken up just in time to give us a bit of hope before inevitably handing the game back to Denver. The Snyder years have taken their toll on me...
  3. Stopped watching after our game, but I guarantee they'll spend a good while tossing themselves silly over the Liverpool win.
  4. The difficult thing is that it's much more of a trial by fire when it comes to a centre half learning the trade in a new league compared to an attacking player. A mistake from a central defender is generally going to have much greater consequences than that of a forward or attacking mid, so somebody like Pau is naturally going to be under the microscope much more than the other newbies. He's under much more pressure to become acclimatised to the Premier League quickly purely due to the importance of his position (also not helped by our previous best performing CB and defensive leader getting a season ending injury in the opening game). I think he'll come good.
  5. A win is a win, and it feels much sweeter in the new post Snyder era, but my god that was ugly. How tf have Rivera and the FO allowed the O-Line to become that much of a mess? It's an all too familiar story in Washington whereby a young QB's development is hampered by an O-Line that just can't protect them.
  6. I can sympathise very much with this. I was at Uni when I went to see the Dillinger Escape Plan on their final UK tour and had to leave before the encore to get the last train back to Chester. Missed one of my absolute favourite songs (which apparently had to be abandoned midway through due to something happening in the crowd).
  7. You can tell there's a top player there. I think his strength is something that we can improve, and I'm sure that he'll look a lot more solid once he gets more PL games and becomes more accustomed to the speed and strength of the forward players he's up against.
  8. Looked lively in his cameo today. It's a real shame he's not able to play on Thursday to get some more minutes (also, it's my first game at VP for quite a while and I would've liked to have seen him...). The good thing is that he looks strong, fast and has a shot on him. I think he'll be very useful.
  9. I had no idea Jay Rodriguez was still playing.
  10. A lot of Burnley fans predicting that they'll win this one. They might be well rested, but something can be said for match sharpness and confidence following a couple of big wins. I know that we're only 3 games into the season, but this game should give us some indicator as to how we're going to cope with the Thursday games. A tight win with no injuries would do me just fine...
  11. Apparently UEFA have said that he's not allowed to play until the group stages as he's already played in Europe this season.
  12. Managed to grab a couple in the Upper North, was a nice surprise to finally get some. Will have to consider getting the membership to be honest, as I really can't see many games making it to general sale, unless they purposely hold a few thousand tickets until general sale each time?
  13. Glad that they're getting rid of him, but I'd love to hear their explanation of that audio recording if they reckon that he "did not commit the offences". Feels as though they've listened to the public backlash rather than having a conscience themselves.
  14. We did exactly what we needed to do, which was a relief after what happened last week. Everton looked very poor, but they still had players on the pitch that could have hurt us. Solid performance and the new boys looked good. It's a good job that the game went a bit flat in the second half. Wouldn't have been ideal to have 100+ minutes of high intensity when we've got another game in 3 days. The injuries stacking up is taking the piss a bit. Can't wait to get the absentees from preseason back so we can start rotating as the fixtures congest a bit.
  15. He was brilliant today, exactly what we needed from him.
  16. Going to have to wait for the general sale to get my ticket for this. Can anybody with a membership see if there's still a fair few left? Sounds like there's nothing available in the Upper Holte, so hoping for Upper North or Doug Ellis.
  17. That's about the worst opening game of a season that I can remember. There's no doubt that the Mings injury completely rocked us, but it was concerning just how much of a shambles we looked today. Konsa or Torres will have to seriously step up and show some leadership this season. Mings is a massive presence on the pitch and I do worry how our defence is going to look without his organisational skills.
  18. Our passing really has been off it today. Just can't seem to get any flow going. Credit to Newcastle as they're closing down well, but even our cross field balls into space just aren't on the money today.

    Wolves

    We might beat them at their place this year now!
  20. Lee Johnson is Hibs manager. Isn't he a bit of a helmet, IIRC?
  21. It's all a bit confusing isn't it? I remember us having a similar level of optimism (though nowhere near as deluded) when Xia took over, and look how that turned out. I'm sure that their hedge-fund minority owners will be thrilled with another season below mid table, because last time I checked their squad is still shite. There's plenty of owners in the Championship better than theirs and they're not exactly rocketing their clubs into the PL and then pushing for Champions League places. They think that they've won some sort of golden ticket, when I can see it taking years just to take the club from being a laughing stock to a slightly better laughing stock. But we're all rattled, apparently. Mate.
  22. AND he can drink in town.
