Gemmill 50830 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 The gooner is called Jordan, no idea who he is. The bloke from the Mirror is Darren Lewis. He's top boy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isegrim 10572 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 (edited) Finally found time to watch the whole match again. Still fucking brilliant. What a performance. Watching Howe on the sidelines being totally concentrated and focused on the match watching his game plan getting executed actually made me remembering the total disaster of Bruce and his jurassic approach to football and tactics. Also from watching the match I realised how much of a captain‘s performance we sawvfrom Trips. He not just played really well he took charge of organising players as well as talking to the ref. Last I want to add: Zonal marking? My. Arse. Slot is a lying buffoon. They obviously thought of Burn actually not being a great threat and therefore could get man marked by MacAlister. He was marking Burn whereever he was placed in the box, not just at the far end of the box but also directly in front of goal as well as in shorter positions. They really fucked this one up tactically. Edited March 19 by Isegrim 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christmas Tree 5186 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Quite liked the idea of going to the city centre to cheer the bus as it goes past. Not so sure about standing on the town moor in a crowd that big with one portaloo. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack 11681 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 Not struck on this Town Moor idea tbh, if it rains (which is forecast) could be a bit messy (not in a good way) should be a bus route job for me. If it is the moor, wouldn't be surprised if Fender does a "surprise" set as it's between the EU/US legs of his tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 7728 Posted March 20 Share Posted March 20 (edited) Where did that amazing left-peg cross from Tino come from by the way? Was he deliberately told to not use his left foot/attack to the byline v West Ham and turn back every time. It could have been a masterstroke again by Eddie or Tino just decided to have a swing at it. Edited March 20 by Holden McGroin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for Bruno accepting it, too. Expand I wonder if he stays now or bows out on a high. He was such an important first signing and achieved what he set out to so he might decide to bow out and as see out his career somewhere where he can get more regular game time. I wouldn’t blame him if he decided to depart. His off-field problems are well documented and he could probably get a decent final pay day in Saudi or somewhere in Europe but I’d love him to stay on. His legs might be going but he still has plenty to offer, particularly if we make champions league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is they’re professional footballers. Most of them can hit a better cross with their weaker foot than most of us can with out strong one. I’d like to see inverted wingers to do it more often. Of course you go inside on your stronger foot more often but keep the full back guessing by mixing it up. Barnes did that well on Sunday I thought 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
