So after we got a slating for having very poor xG v Man C they go and dish out this tripe and only achieved an xG 0.49 I know it’s still probably a lot higher than our 0.02 or wot ever it was but then we are not the mighty footballing nation that is Man C. I don’t expect it won’t be mulled over by papers and pundits for the next week and be put down to a bad day or going up against 10 behind the ball or what ever the excuse is for the fashionable teams. Man U couldn’t have been any higher and probably closer to our effort than MC’s Just seen Man U xG 0.92 Man U 2 shots on target forcing 2 saves Man City 5 shots on target forcing 6 saves (?)

You see right through me you pesky rascal 😊

For sure they are blinkered & certainly don’t seem to have an ability to read a room.

Yep for sure the club is gambling on this but I guess it needs to for set revenue if we all fall off they (we) will be in an even worse place financially despite it being small sums compared to other teams. But just want to make sure holders don’t make knee jerk reactions just off this embarrassing season & a view of nothing will change because it just might. + everyone of us said how much we enjoyed the championship season 👍 Although on the + side it might allow those that have been knocking the support this season but unable to get a ST to get on board and make as much noise in the stadium as they do on here so win win there I guess also 👍

Andy Goode who was on comms last night has posted a potential eye gouging incident involving Glasgow’s Venter on Dan Cole during the early Cracknell try, which wasn’t picked up last night. Given Venter scored 2 tries himself and their carrying 8 could things have been different if he’d walked so early. Won’t make any difference to Tigers now but he might be missing for Glasgow in the next round if cited.

Well that’s the thing it’s a gamble on which way the coin drops, remember 2014/15 & then the following year.

What I’m thinking if you don’t renew & someone else gets the ticket then your prays are answered in the summer when the swamp incl Rudkin is drained, we get promoted with a hungry set of lads and there looks to be direction again through a new DoF then you try to get a ST again but you’ve lost out are you justified to then start whinging that you can’t get a ST because the plastics that only started supporting in 2025 due to 25/26 -27 success have taken the allocation and your having to build up points again despite stating you’ve followed City since ‘x’ and that it’s not fair? Them’s the 🎲 I guess 🤷‍♂️ choose wisely.

Been a very meh league this season, 3 promoted teams all but relegated 5th April & champions elect Liverpool will be crowned as early as 20th April with 5 games remaining.

Nixon also does mention that Russell is highly regarded within the City group, he’s more likely to go to 1 of their clubs abroad to continue the cloning process. 🤞

Yep been piss poor they are big scores against Quins & Sarries and don’t hold out much hope for Sale in France tomorrow probably leaving Saints to fly the flag. Coincidence they were at home as only Munster have won away this weekend and only by a single point.

Game over now and still 27mins to play it’s not been great at all

Haa not the best of restarts 😂

2 yellows and only down 17:5 with 40 to play??

Ben Nelson & Oxford rocking the boat currently v Hamza & Sheff U. I know Leeds have had the beating of us recently but would we rather they don’t get promotion, surely wages must be coming a struggle if they don’t & then will the likes of James, Gnonto, Rondon, Piroe, Bryan & Bamford stay could this season be make or break for them?

Add Reading FC to the list, they have 2 days to find another buyer or face been frozen out of the EFL altogether just as Noel Hunt finally has them playing well and in the play off positions. They have been victims of not having a fit and proper owner, he failed to buy Hull why the FA thought it was ok for him to buy Reading then who knows & they are the ultimate example of how PSR (in whatever guise) fails any club outside those traditional bigger clubs & really isn’t fit for purpose. Reading have had something like 18-20pts deducted over the years dropping them the Premier to Lge 1 in a few years, where as Chelsea just sell something they own to themselves, it f’ing stinks. I really hope someone can force their dic owner to accept any offer, he’s already turned down £30m from the ex-Wycombe owners & it’s not like it’s worth anymore because the man has already asset stripped anything of value.

The mirror came up with this this morning “Manchester City star Bernardo Silva has been identified as the Premier League's slowest player” Surely we have to start Vestergaard now for nothing more than 5hits n giggles & keep us entertained it might give us something to sing about at least 😂

Will that demographic ever move over to 'Football' as we know it or could this be the end of 'Football' as we know it? There are so many threads just within our own forum that talks about an aging fan base but is this the future, will anyone post 2005 (splitting Gen Z here) ever really get into Football or do they want shows like this? I'm pre-2005 so obviously can't stand the over the top theatrics of the whole thing, screaming commentators, benches spilling onto the pitch at any moment, girly face offs its footballs version of a wrestlemania production, its all to very foam finger, Z lister creating, gosh honey did you see that over the top for my liking.

Martyn Waghorn has come out of retirement aged 35 to help Derby try to escape relegation

Was thinking is this a game where Kop has her game of all games but reality is she’s more likely to be bored

Yeah and let’s stop all cars having power steering it’s making us lazy drivers, what a pointless notion.

So ya telling me the parents of a Leicester city player not being played are upset then, is that it in a nutshell?

Blackwell has thrown a few names in his column in the merc recently and all deserve a good look especially thou’s on a free; Poku, Darling, Dolan, Osho & Nmecha then for a fee Hackney, Wright & Fellows. All are up in the top 1% stats wise for their position and most are 25yrs or below. I’d imagine the 3 promoted sides will have their pick 1st & be a potential better draw for the players but we certainly should be in the conversation.

Jeeezus he hit that 🚀

Fully agree with this he’s certainly an enigma, he’s a bit of a Robbie Savage limited ability but offers something more player 🫤 A lot of people slate players that don’t try and he certainly doesn’t fit into that category, he puts himself about, disrupts, energetic, can play a pass, multi positional and can take instruction he’s not the headless chicken he once was. Vestergaard is let off for his short comings because the manager doesn’t ’play to his strengths’ yet we saw last season how Enzo used Hamza and got a decent tune out of him. As I say he’s an enigma because fans say he’s not good enough for us talking as if we are a top 10 pushing side then ask for players that will show a bit of grit not like the prima Donna’s currently playing because we need fighters in a relegation or championship battle 🤷‍♂️ That’s not me saying we should keep him but struggle to understand what fans think where the club is currently and what type of players should be in next years squad for what ever league (ok championship) we find ourselves in.

With regards to the long game didn’t I read the other day that the UK’s greenhouse gas emissions were at their lowest since the 1870s, whilst China’s hit an all time high in the same year 🤷‍♂️ Yes the likes of China & US are pumping more funding into going green but they also have the most to convert, China is still heavily reliant on fossil fuels. Their emissions will start to drop due to this heavy investment in greener energy but they are still way out in front in the world’s polluters. Agreed they are certainly showing the US & Russia up but still the UK is the only ‘super power’ in the top 10 of countries reducing its emissions near quick enough. I’d like to believe that China is trying to flood the market with EVs to aid the wider good but the sceptic in me still believes it’s about the 💵 & bragging rights sadly.
