Went to watch an Orlando City game a few weeks ago to have a break from Disney with the kids. They had a Pizza Hut in the concourse

Yeah I agree with you on that point. There’s a few of us who felt quite let down by the trust with the loyalty point retention scheme. I gave up 150+ loyalties when Rafa left out of a protest. I totally accept the clubs position now that we don’t get them back, but the Trust promised to lobby on our behalf to get them back and they changed their minds on that. Quite a few of us gave up our STs on the back of that promise so felt pretty let down when it didn’t happen.

There’s a couple of good people on the podcast but it really irritates me when they get stuff wrong about past matches etc. I know it’s really petty as fuck but if you’re broadcasting like that then get your facts straight
-
Yeah I rate Pedro but that’s lunacy. Maddison would be a genuinely top class signing.
-
My gut feeling is we’ll have one first XI signing in January and a youngster or two, then in the summer it’ll be similar to this summer where we get four players in, with two being for a decent wedge. Obviously if we make top 4 then the quality of those signings increases fairly dramatically.

An outside shot is also Joe Willock. Had that ridiculous scoring run when he came in on loan under CSB and then really struggled when he first came in on a permanent deal. Lad has clearly got his head down, grafted his arse off and now looks settled in the team. Think it would have to take someone really special to dislodge him from the first XI now.

The thing I love most is the reading of the match situation. When we were on top we were pressing really hard, putting them under pressure and causing all sorts of problems. When they made the changes they were a lot more threatening and we recognised this, slowed it down and made it bitty as fuck. It was almost impossible for them to gain any momentum.

Got 50% of the points required for 7th after 39% of the games.

Extra half a tier on the east stand too…
-
Massive grin on Howe’s face when he’s asked if his players will go away with England and will speak to players who we may want to sign. Welcome Maddison.

Pretty sure Wilson will play like. Just watched the press conference and Howe didn’t exactly rule him out. -

Liverpool will play the kids so expect both Manchester clubs to be going through. -
Meh, we’ve moved on and upgraded. He’s sat on the bench for 99% of games. It is what it is.

Man City at home is probably our best chance of winning the cup tbh. Don’t see anyone else left in who could beat them. Bring them to SJP when the World Cup is on. -
Combined they played 100 league games for Sunderland. 5 fewer than Titus Bramble made for us. Mental.

Ornstein saying Wilson, Walker, Maddison and White in the squad.

Interesting to see who he plays in midfield if ASM starts on the left. -
Eddie got to meet his hero tonight too

Separate forum for it I think
