"Marching on together" 

Man City at home.  Pitched by Sky as Enzo v Pep (even though Enzo at Chelsea or Brighton by then) 

Going mobile for mine / paying £25 for son's (18+) ticket (as easier to use with other siblings).  No mention of £25 going to Vichai charity on payment page (club missed a trick on gift aid ) - hopefully the fan groups don't forget to remind the club about "loyalty tax" when the club bang on about how wonderful the Blue Army is blah blah blah next season (+ cost of running a trophy bus for loyal Thai fans  )

Rudkin out? 

Thanks Enzo 

Rudders absolutely ecstatic at the end (Rudkin Out) - what a tozzer 

Woke up in Japan in early hours to see we're losing 0-1 to Millwall & now in a bar in Osaka, I can only see Enzo laughing at us all

He's been given 15 or so premier league players and the biggest budget ever at this level (by a mile) to play at a level below and finish in the top two. 

 

I'm not having a pop at him. But it's a stark reality that literally any normal manager should be able to win promotion when dealt  a hand like that. 

Are you Tim Sherwood in disguise? 

He made the same point on Soccer Saturday earlier today - as if TS would do any better.

We may have players who have played in the PL but there's a reason we're in the Championship.

You Welsh beauties 

SU2/3 now opened up 

SU1 open - it's going to take a while for the middle upper blocks to open & then a mad rush

I was there.  Double decker.  

I was also in the Double Decker - always enjoyed the roar from the Kop as a youngster.  This was an epic match / hair raised on the back of your neck stuff.  No one leaving on 80 mins 

It's a pity the semi at Villa went all pear shape.

Anyone else woke up in the dog house this morning after ranting & raving like a loon from Daka miss to end of match?  Similar scenes to Knockhaert pen miss at Watford & Arsenal winner in 15/16 season.  Why do we care so much?  Anyway another weekend ruined, off to eat humble pie and to get a grip 

Just heard he's coming in as new club captain & he's glad it's all over 

"He's on his way" Assuming this isn't tracking the vespa Rudders sent for him two weeks ago

He's a throwback to being a great solid pro who's not in the game for Instagram clicks & Tiktok memes.  I too thought his signing was "meh" & now I have a growing man crush for how wonderful he is in this side.  Iconic that he should be celebrating away at WBA in front of the away end as Vardy did in 14/15.

This season you’ll have missed a few of our really important goals towards the end of games by leaving 5 minutes early. Can’t imagine walking away from the ground having to hear the roar of a last minute winner behind you but each to their own..

Fortunately, it's not the end of the world. Obviously, I'd prefer to see goals when in the stadium because that's part of the reason being there but I don't watch LCFC just for last minute goals.  On several occasions, I've been happy hearing a last minute winner. Last season, I often hoped that would be the case!!  I don't need to celebrate every goal by limbs ablazing.

I get the point about the players clapping to a half empty stadium at the final whistle but I don't think they're crying in the changing rooms afterwards due to a lack of adoring fans.  (I was one of the few muppets who stayed after the defeat to Newcastle last season - my whole row empty & I recall a FT debate about whether fans should clap or not after such a performance or lack of).  I appreciate this season, they deserve a clap but again they ain't missing/looking out for my ugly mug.

I assume at some point, the club will introduce a points system for the "perfect" fan & the top 10 will get an all expenses paid tour of Seagrave where you they can be carried around by the players on a pedestal showered with blue tinted roses (but not by Danny W for safety reasons 😉).  Obviously I won't qualify & in any case, I wouldn't want to get stuck in traffic getting back on to the A46 😁

I agree with this. Remember sitting on a completely closed M1 with my engine off for 9 hours in -3 degrees after Nacho's VAR goal against Everton in 2019, getting home at 5am and then up at 6.30am for work. Loving life, heart FM blasting out. Moments like that are why you put in the miles. Then again also often thinking what is the point of all this when getting home in the small hours after a drab 0-0 or limp 1-0 defeat.

Horses for courses at the end of the day and for such a frivolous issue, no one is right or wrong. But if you're already doing a 9/10 hour round trip, logic dictates you wouldn't risk the potentially best part of the day to save 10% of your total journey time and miss 10% of the actual reason you've done the journey. Those with the long journeys surely have even more reason to stay until the end.

Don't disagree with the points made but fortunately we haven't missed too many last minute goals at (almost got caught out with recent Casadei winner  but ended up in an hour's queue/ down on the steps to see Ulloa's equaliser against WHU in 15/16). 

Agree it's my own fault parking on FC & potentially getting "trapped" in one way system - now made worse by only a single lane at the bottom of Commercial Square stopping those folks turning left rather than right.

If Rudkin can arrange an exit pass or fast lane for those fans having a "legitimate" reason for leaving early 😉  I appreciate everyone has their own reasons for staying & leaving & equally views on so-called "rights / wrongs" of leaving early.  Hopefully things will settle down as this season goes on & more folks stay to the end so I can leave on 90.

Will miss his ugly mug but not his non clearance of balls at the back post - goodbye Sweet Timmy
