Mine was just a tongue-in-cheek remark about how post-match analysis often suggests how we could have avoided defeat but if you apply that to every game, then we go the season undefeated!
It's pointing out that it's highly unlikely that will happen so maybe banging on about it each time is a bit fruitless.
Only Preston (in 1888-89) and Arsenal (2003-04) have done that, in the top flight at least. Can't find any data for the other three divisions.
There are lots of things at play here; - we’re not big club that has infinite income, we can only acquire the players of the ability our spending powers allows. As has been said often, if our players were better than they are then they’d be playing elsewhere.
- FFP/PSR rules mean we can no longer have an owner just buy, buy, buy and even then, there’s no guarantee. We’re perfect proof of that from 10 years ago
- Players are under contract and will still get paid whether they play or not meaning a drain on our resources if they are left in the cold.
- if a player is indeed not very good, who would want to buy them from us?
- There are two transfer windows so from the start of the season until January and February until the end of the season, you’re pretty much stuck with the players you have.
I’m sure there’s more but I think it’s a lot harder running a club than may be thought which is why throwaway comments really should be thought through first.
Only left early once..... away at Highbury and 3-0 down, then Bannister scored right at the end. Didn't really change the outcome but would have been nice to have had a moment of joy in an otherwise crap game.
If I manage to go, my route would be; Waterloo, Jubilee line to Canary Wharf then DLR to Pudding Bowl Lane (or whatever it's called). That's seems closest to the ground for me?
We have a West Ham ST'er at work and even he says it's a shocking ground to get to/from and an appalling view. But hey, it's what the fans wanted because they harped on about the Boleyn Ground being too small for them 'cos they're so massive, innit.
100%. Though hydration is of course important but they've now managed to shoehorn in the ad breaks. Someone somewhere is getting a nice bonus for coming up with that.
Despite being in the PL and the home team, I think the pressure will be on them as they’ll be expected to win. If we show any respect early on then we’re as good as done.
Full strength team and go full on at them from the off.
It's going to an absolute w@nkfest. Infantino slobbering all over Trump and giving him a 'peace' award (WTF does FIFA have to do with peace.... football/sport & politics/religion shouldn't mix but has sadly become totally ingrained now) because they all absolutely have to pander to the man-child.
Oh good, a discussion about our own stadium situation. Not had one of those before.......
(yes, I'm being facetious! All questions have been covered at some point or other, unless there is any new information we're just going around in circles)
