What are the words to the Last Christmas song?

Tarnished the whole day for me, seeing this kid.

Thought it was pretty bad from just under the away fans and I normally veer on the side of positive about these things. Nice and loud and defiant first 10 mins, (justifiably) nervous til the first goal then alright after that but a bit muted. Guess it depends where you are sat.

Four of the first choice back five!

I don't get why they're moaning, because the club are doing what they're being told to?

he's a massive gobshite.

nice thread. Higuita, Chilavert and Campos were the standout maverick keepers of the 90s. Chilavert scored over 50 goals according to wiki

Yeah it hasn't worked out well so far but we've signed 3 of them on 5 year contracts or whatever. Tino looks fantastic, Tonali and Barnes will be good signings, and we'll see with Hall. We didn't really do anything wrong in the window, it's just sod's law how the first few months have gone. As I say I'm not taking issue with anyone pointing this stuff out but when it's the same people offering the most negative perspective in every thread, it's tedious.

You are negative. In every thread. You can justify each post every time someone gets sick of it, but it doesn't change the trend.

He's just Alan Partridge, isn't he? Except not funny.

I'm glad we went for it and always want us to play that way but do feel there may have been a bit of an oversight in not considering the opposition's motivations enough. Milan had to win, they had to open up themselves sometime so perhaps we shouldn't have blinked first in that sense. Whether that was possible with the personnel and the fitness levels, no idea. I'm sure we'll learn from it, this was new to almost everyone.

It's mental. Can only assume these new posters with a grey cloud over everything respawned on to the Earth in January 2022. Tbh I'm more on about a few new posters and some of the usual suspects. You've not been that bad but you do seem frustrated aye We all are, but big picture innit. The last week or 2 has been painful but we'll get through it.

Imagine being this negative at this point in time supporting the club There's glass half full, glass half empty, and help I've headbutted the glass and have shards of glass in me face.

COCK PISS GOLDBRIDGE

Really need this guy back, man. You can't get by with 2 fit wingers as we have been for months, it's the primary position that needs freshened up in-game. Think he'll be class for us as well.

oh my fucking word.

Agree to disagree as suspect we're both getting bored with this, but the narrative of that game is just wrong imo. We hung on second half and they had loads of shots. Before that we did play well, after that we defended magnificently.

Yeah I don't agree with the original comment that PSG didn't threaten in the away game, but you followed up saying we didn't play well that game. We did. ^ We were at least as good as PSG up until Isak's goal. Looked comfortable for the rest of the half too. Unsurprisingly we went more pragmatic after that. PSG didn't batter us, they tried and failed to score a goal for three quarters of the match. If we'd conceded an equaliser 2 minutes after Isak's goal then the above would have looked completely different.

Did you watch the first half? If so I can't say I agree whatsoever. Neither did the pundits at half time who said we'd been the better side. If we dig out the stats I think they'd back that up. Stats-aside we were tidy on the ball and measured off it. We held on second half when protecting a lead and tiring, which is important context.

We were just as good as PSG away first half and put in an outstanding backs-to-the-wall performance second half, which was the right thing to do in the context of the group and the available personnel. No way does that go into the "didn't play well" bracket.

He just hates us and wants to score points. Annoyingly people like him set the narrative which fans of other fans parrot like it's fact.

There's a lot of this like. His excellency doesn't do losing

Yeah we can beat anyone on our day but our day isn't necessarily going to be a cup final or whatever when the opposition have been there and done it many times. We should be aiming to win or overachieving in every competition we're in, there's a difference between that and expecting it though.
