Big River

thanks everyone  we've already had 8 different donors!

just 20 of us at £3 a month is enough to cover pretty much all associated costs that go towards keeping this place online

Fuck me they're dragging this out now though to the point where even if it's really good it's still going to feel underwhelming.

bring back Castore imo

I'm not sure a thumbnail from a footyheadlines article determines our elite status

it's proper honking that  some very questionable taste here

bit like this all-time stinker (imo obviously) that was well received

I think most people will just wear whatever shit the club put out, to be honest. I find the amount of Wonga / Ashley era shirts still in circulation at the match absolutely baffling. but each to their own I suppose!

looks like the leaks have had the collar wrong. you can see Bruno and Mig have got it on here and it's a v-neck

I think buy in is what a manager lives and dies by, the Ipswich lads haven bought into McKenna as he’s improved all of their careers and they know they owe a big part of that too him. Similar to Howe and Rafa here, the players could see they were improved (and in some instances had their careers saved).

 

At Man U that dynamic isn’t really there, these are all established internationals for the most part and have seen managers come and go. There was noises that his training sessions when at Man U weren’t all that liked.

bang on. he'd be far better off going somewhere like Brighton. but, Man Poonited are his boyhood club etc so you can't really blame him. he probably knows himself it's unlikely he'll succeed.

ah man, it's funny how badly the whole thing has been handled  but it'll turn out alright for them. ten Hag was fucking shocking.

I rate McKenna, but just hope the the job is too early for him and he fails miserably.

Sure i read somewhere that the reason for the simpler circular badges is to do with being able to replicate easier and make them easier to recognise as a brand rather than a crest etc.

 

Im also sure its better for disabled fans (thinking autism, sight affected here)to recognise

 

currently looking for the articles to back this up

that's just bullshit from some design agency to justify their work

it'll happen at some point, just hope it's decent and they hire a proper agency who understand heritage and the importance of the project.

a "brand" isn't just one badge, anyway. there's room to grow our visual identity beyond just replacing our primary badge. which Adidas are already doing with the 3rd kit, it's a smart move.

 class

don't shoot the messenger etc.

Haven't been paying attention but last time I looked they were in with a shout at a playoff spot? What in the fuck happened

we happened

maybe he just means his technique is a bit... unorthodox? on the eye, you can't deny he's a bit clunky. but he is effective. so it's not really a fair criticism as it's a stylistic thing.

he's no Viduka, put it that way.

Correct me if I’m wrong but I’m sure it was when he was first team coach there were any amount of briefings coming out the club they didn’t like training. Of which a huge number are still there. 

yeah not sure, I'm certain @Froggywill be able to shed some light.

it's probably true, it'd sum that squad up perfectly  so many egos. they need a rebuild from top to bottom. pls hire Gareth.

Actually think McKenna would do well for them

I think he would too. plus he's a lifelong Man Utd fan. could be their new Fergie if handled correctly.

but it won't be  class!

Was on one of the in house videos recently where Isak and I forget who else both agreed he was our best 1v1 defender.

he's barely won a 1v1 since then  been noticing it because it proper stuck in my mind as well

(it was Isak and Botman)

Even if he was in a team that was winning, he's playing far too much football. He takes him off at weird times and then leaves him on games like this to be slaughtered. 

 

Garnacho is the same. 19 and the main threat. They're going to burn out. 

what are your thoughts on ETH these days?
