South-Cheshire-Toon

So to start with - Didn't go, Didn't watch it live on tv, only seen hightlights and some posting on youtube. But with regard to the post about the Nottingham game and others - there are several differences - 1. The forest game is one of many - so there isn't, what i call "the fear of losing" which is what there was on Sunday. 2. At most games everyone is in the position they want to be - but on Sunday because of the ticket arrangements and numbers i get the feeling there wasn't enough of the right type of people to get an atmosphere going.

I don't think it's a place to be 'bragging' on what score you've got, i mean some of us will have a s/sheet or whatever so we can see what score we've got before Magpie posts the table, and this week I think i've got 28. But then this will only mean that Disco / Magpie and co will start pasting in their 30, 32, 35 scores and put us all to shame, as though it's not bad enough thinking i've done well then you see the table and they've moved further ahead. doh (bangs head repeatedly against brick wall).

Apologies to all on this thread, I wasn't aware that there had already been a get together and this was a follow up, I was just reading the tread as a 'thought' post to see what the 'reaction' would be, and was joking that effort had been done with no knowledge that there would be any takers. If a game can be chosen then am least up for coming up for that and a possible stay over - work commitments allowing time off.

Have to laugh - what if no one had said 'Yeah - i'm up for this', that seems a lot of work done for no reason - LOL - luckily you have some takers for the idea.

Sorry, but I'm going to be a kill joy here (not that I want to be one as I'd love to attend one way or another) but whoever is trying to organise this 'event' then you need to take into account the 'TV football' packages - this years link below - before 'finalising' on any booking etc. https://www.premierleague.com/news/2647056 As there is no point in getting the fixture list in the middle of June or whenever it is - only to book some hotel / events for a Saturday / Sunday - only to find the match has then been moved to a Monday night. Then the shitter is that as you have then waited for the TV dates, all of the hotels in the area will then know, and thus they then increase their prices accordingly (BASTARDS THE LOT OF THEM). I know it's not relevant, but the British GP is on the 9th July - a local Premier Inn prices from that week go something like M - 100, T - 110, W- 120, TH - 150, Fri - 170, Sat's booked out, Sunday - £39 - LIKE WHAT THE FUCK - it's still the same room. How can it then be over £100 less.

I've been waiting to post this - but have waited until the cup game was over - so here goes. After last years shite start to the season, then with Howe coming in, doing wonders and getting us to a finishing position of 11th this years 'initial' thread was the "relegation-o-meter" and we all put in our 'predictions'. Not for one minute would I except from anyone that they would predict us to be top 4 by Christmas. Now there were a series of factors that have helped our position - Liverpool and Chelsea not performing, so Manure can be said to have done that for the first half of the season, and then put together with other teams all being of the same calibre - Brighton, Fulham, Spurs etc - all these teams were drawing against each other, whilst we happen to be winning more, which has lead us to the position over Christmas of being in the top 4. Wow - top 4 - then the thread 'changed' to 'Top-4-ometer', and the predictions have come in for that, and people are now thinking of what could be - but this position needs to be taken with a pinch of salt. It's not that I'm not liking, or not wanting to finish in the top 4, but personally, I think we'll finish in the top 10, at best a Europa league place - reasoning, as other have mentioned, lack of squad depth, players tired, other teams performing better. Now to some this might be a 'waste' and 'failure' but as other have said, it gives us something to build on, as getting into the champions league would, in my opinion, be a disaster, as with all the extra games, we'd finish 3rd or 4th. I see it, as an ongoing, evolving situation, play well, finish good league position, attract better players, repeat - and one day, hopefully some time soon - we will be a top 4 finisher - and deserve our place in whatever competition - and may those times last.

Shitty play Bristol City in the cup on tuesday night - so they'll probably put out the Z team for that - so all their major players will be rested unless something fucks up on tuesday night and some of them get a 20 min run out. So expecting a defeat, margin - you can't be sure with city nowadays as they seem to be 'too precise' with their playing, 3-1 at a guess.

I was there yesterday dinner time and it was weird to see two, what looked like Syrian factions, going at it with stereo systems, I think who had the loudest won !!!

Was in London today, now back at home in South Cheshire, saw a few toon fans on my travels. If these are you then have a good day tomorrow - One guy in pret near Berkley Square 6 people in th middle of covent garden. An the dozen or so fans cheering on euston Station concourse. On the train down spoke to a united fan who told me of their ticket arrangements, and you think ours was badish. So ours was 5 games and st, then 4 and St and so on. Their's was had to attend ALL cups games at home, both lc and fa cup, and be a season ticket holder. That meant there were 41,000 people were in the draw for 35,000 tickets, that meant 6,000 people missed out at the first attempt.

As much as my heart is hoping for a win, my head is saying we'll lose, and it will either a drubbing 4-0 or a close defeat 1-0. I also hoping that my head is wrong. But I wish all that go have a great time of things. I'm actually in London the day before so will keep an eye out for any fans.

I feel sorry for the guy, I mean he's no rashford / wilson etc, but if he had scored for the number of times he's hit the post/bar etc then people would be singing his praises, and it's only for the fact that he hasn't that people aren't. I mean I'm not hearing as much negativity to ASM - or may be i've missed something.

I think Eddie has seen that utd are improving so why leave them with a decent keeper, why not give them another headache if de gea get injured etc, to think about. I mean there can't be that many keepers that can fit the bill ?

Would that be dependant on the game being on TV or are there locations that show the games by way of 'dubious' streaming services. ( Not that I use or promote the use of such services ).

How come some instagram posts I can see - and others - like this one - it asks me to sign up ? any one any ideas - is it how the link is posted ?

Is there a link to this page ?
