Monkeys Fist 42378 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Grandstand, fucking hell. Knowing now that Frank Bough liked nothing better than a nose full of Charles and a bum full of his Mrs’ strap-on puts a whole different slant in his laid back intros to Wrestling from Milton Keynes Sports Centre. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 9385 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Botman evidently has sacked off a call up to the Dutch U21's, "he would rather spend his time working with Newcastle" according to their coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surreymag 71 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Its good to see 3 mags in the squad although Trippier is probably going to be the only starter in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6581 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Im not looking forward to this World Cup as I should be. There has been no break or build up to it. And it might ruin our momentum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44804 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'm not worried about it affecting our momentum. The break will do us good and as long as we return to the field with the same fundamentals, we'll continue to cause problems for every team we play. If anything, giving Howe another mini pre-season should worry our opponents more than us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Yeh I think it'll do us well - plus we've got players like Isak to come back and ASM gets more time to pull his finger out his arse and get properly fit. If there's one thing the past few games have taught me (particularly Villa/Southampton) is that we don't do complacency. However I do agree about the World Cup. I have little to no enthusiasm for it. A World Cup for me is beer gardens, seeing friends, mass positivity followed by inevitable disappointment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6581 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 It gives other clubs chance to regroup though. Chelsea - Kante, Chilwell and James will not miss any more games for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 17239 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 A colleague is taking 10 days leave from a week today so he can watch all the group games. Four games a day from next Tuesday He’s a Birmingham City fan. Not sure if this is relevant.. A work colleague of the current Mrs PL is taking a laptop into the office to do the same. He’s an AFCB season ticket holder So there is interest out there….bizarre as it seems.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21912 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) I’m torn on this. I would rather there wasn’t this ridiculous winter World Cup. It’s stopped us just as we were on a ridiculous run of form and those teams who are struggling might be more grateful for the break. However, I’d agree that we will be less affected than the other clubs chasing Europe because we’re sending fewer players. Plus we only have a couple of games till the transfer window opens and I expect us to make a couple of big signings given where we are in the league. If we qualify for the CL this season we’re probably 2-3 seasons ahead of schedule, so the owners may be tempted to go large.

Tom 14011 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I honestly think our current league position has something to do with the Saudi sponsorship logos popping up at the ground all of a sudden. "fair market value" is a bit different when you're 3rd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5217 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I think we'll be fine - our form has carried on both pre and post summer, and the reality I think is that if we're going to cement ourselves at the top end we need to just be a good team, rather than a team on a good run. I also think we've dropped off a bit in the last few games with the defence and even Bruno started to make misplays here and there. Still good enough to do what we need to, but perhaps tired? The break could well have come at a good time for us. It also carries us on into January which gives us the transfer window to make adjustments as we need to. Only downside to that is that Maddison's value will skyrocket if he has a good world cup and we may lose him to one of the few bigger teams still in the mix. I couldn't care less about the tournament itself although now that we have some players going I will probably follow the games out of my emotional investment in them more than anything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35059 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I’m more worried about the next one and the impact it’ll have on the 25 players we have playing in it 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
