  1. Can't we just fast forward this to the 97th minute for national treasure Marcus Rashford to get the winner? Will save everyone's time.
  2. Complete joke of a penalty but is anyone surprised. Of course not.
  3. Totally 100% expect United to win this 3-2 in the second half even though they are getting battered. Scum. Subhuman scum.
  4. Irish 1-2-3-4. Fully expect some hand-wringing and state-of-the-UK racing/bewetting/will somebody think of the children chat for 24 hours.
  5. I can. They had an entire application on it. We would have had to play with a ground at 75% for a bit and then would have a refreshed stadium with new facilities. But for some reason the powers that be changed their minds. If that is for something even better, a cheap refit, or absolutely nothing, I guess we will have to see.
  6. It should have great transport links. How many other big stadia are within walking distance of two railway stations plus access to the motorway and a few miles from the city centre? That is down to other partners investing in transport infrastructure outside of the club's control. Regardless if we ever move or not we need to change people's behaviour to lower the use of private cars to the immediate areas of the ground, and offer better alternatives that are reliable and cheaper to use.
  7. Blues will stay up as they always do. Jammy barstewards.
  8. We have just spent millions on Bodymoor due to HS2 now not going through the site. I think people are reading too much into this statement, infrastructure investment could mean a lot of different things.
  9. No it really doesn't. We are a goal up and away goals don't count anymore. A win or any sort of draw and we are through.
  10. Good atmosphere yesterday. Suprised Lille didn't sell both the upper and lower tier. Have we given up on announcing the attendance now?
  11. Except Aldi and Lidl don't do that sort of shite and are popular for it.
  12. Thought so live at the game but that was a stonewall penalty and it is insane why on earth it didn't go to VAR. Emery is a gent but if that was Wolves and O'Neill he would still be camped out at Villa Park waiting for a response from the ref.
  13. A good result, I would have taken that before the start of the match. Yes it is annoying we let a late one in but on balance Lille probably deserved a goal. Had it been 2 nil in the second leg we may start too relaxed, perhaps in the long run this might be beneficial. Maybe. Martinez really is world number one with some superb saves. Our big players stepped up tonight- Watkins, Mcginn. We are n't playing the vintages stuff at the first half of the season. It isn't surprising really given the injuries, Kamara was such a blow and we miss Cash for balance at the moment. But we are grinding hard at the moment. Emery is not going to take a no for us to progress I think he will personally will the team through. Lille are a cut above anyone else we have played so far. It isn't going to be easy but it shouldn't be really to get to a European semi final spot. Without the away goal rule we need just a draw. It is going to be tough but we are in the advantage at half time.
  14. Telephony is widely seen as broadly positive privatisation. It opened up the market for new competitors and technology. All of the third-term Maggie privatisation like the water and energy utilities and then later the railways under Major have widely been seen as poor policy. Ironically Labour started the first privisation of BP before Thatcher.
  15. The rangers dundee match has been called off a second time because of a waterlogged pitch at Dens Park. Rangers aren't happy about it. Seems daft that they are moving to ban 3G pitches in the Scottish prem given the advantages of more matches being played and less costs for the smaller teams in the league.
  16. I can as Heck has been useless since he has arrived.
  17. Well in fairness wasn't it Vince Cable who finally privatised it?
  18. Saddam Hussein set up a company called Montana Management to launder money, which was named after Tony Montana from the Scarface film.
  19. Supermarkets when they move all of the aisles around just when you have got used to the latest configuration. And yes I know I can order online but I don't trust them on picking edible fruit and veg.
  20. That is what Incognito mode for is mate.
  21. To be ready for the euros any work needs to be completed 1 year before it starts which would be June 2027. The original plan was for it to take 2 years the latest this can start is summer 2025. Or we are talking into the next decade, which will make nearly it a 30 year wait from the original plans. If we are being optimistic the club could just be doing this the other way round of doing the small increase in capacity in the current stands before the big job. As the 2028 bid document bandied around a 52k capacity when the north stand job was only going to finish at 50k. Or that was just a number plucked from the air. But there has been no further details in the capacity uplift other than vague statements. If both are to be done before 2028 then really we need work to start this summer on the couple of thousand increase. But there has been no application or any details on this. As they haven't been clear in the communication to us we are just guessing at the moment. But on balance I am not hopeful at all.
  22. Definitelty going to be a step up from Ajax who have just lost 6-0 to Feyenoord the other day. Lille seem to be on the up and we are looking a bit torn and frayed.
  23. Still a bit stunned by our collapse at the weekend. Like a nasty return to the bad old days. Didn't seem much communication in the back four the entire match really. Got to sort this out asap.
