Was going to say in the pre-match 'please no stupid chants' Hope these prats are rooted out and told about themselves, Pearson-esque

Malevolent intent aside I didn't mind that. He out cunted himself on that one. I didn't mind the change. Being more of Kelly/Quinn/Ferdinand man myself.

94/95 too. They hardly got out of their half in the second-half of that.

We're not getting anything there surely!? Run can't go on forever, too many players out, they're obviously a top team....and yet not a write off. If we could put a full team out against them it would have been very intriguing.

Don't know about Liverpool they were a bit also-ranny at the time. The first Abramovic game was at Anfield and my impression although yonks ago was that they were very much in favour of the story that was Chelsea winning. Was there first win at Anfield in X amount of years. iirc. Also the people I was referring was Talk Sport and were most definitely in the media and southern when I heard them say what I quoted. Even happy that the money was helping West Ham out. They never said that about Man City or us. Also see Martin Samuel still now on Abramovic.

Saudi (and the other Arabs) would have to invade Yemen with Iran staying completely out of it for any of this to happen. And its not going to happen. Its generally similar because its war and people dying but ultimately a different scenario without a clear aggressor and amounts air support that we've participated in ourselves over the years, that will be requested or welcomed by half the Yemeni population.

Under pressure now that fella that got Bournemouth relegated is making him look a right cunt

"play the fucking ball! Fucking play the ball. fucks sake" isn't it With tactical instruction like that I struggle to see how West Brom are failing

They absolutely loved it mate. Sky, the lot of them. It was just a ride, entertainment to them. "Drogbarrrrrr". It made me feel like it just didn't matter how much support we had or could have, or whether we qualified for the CL again it just didn't matter against wealth like that. Blackburn couldn't last but this skewed everything. But when we play the game THEY made, that we were the first club to lose out too...different story.

I remember feeling weird when he bought them but was assured by the southern media that it was good for football and that the money would filter down. Even then there were suspicions and doubts but they were quickly swept under the rug and seldom if ever touched on and even though they were a lot less receptive to Man City and outright hostile to us, the vanguard that caused all this went unmentioned and in fact were the bad guys for being bought and its not even to assuage their guilt.

Don't know whether to watch the West Brom game or the rugby Mass shapeless defence, hoofing the ball up into the air and hoping to bludgeon something at the other end or the rugby

Gets the manager of the month curse out of the way with what was a free-hit at Chelsea anyway

Going ape was he?

I've got 18 unbeten under Keegan including x3 league cup games and x3 UEFA cup games from 93/94 - 94/95 (with 16 of them won) - must be the pinnacle. 12 in the PL.

The team spirit is immense, Howe and his team have fostered that and he's not once been able to put his best team out. No ASM, Trippier, Feddy, Wilson or Joelinton tonight ffs.

Its not an attack on Yemen as you well know. Its a civil war with the Arab world backing one side and Iran the other bit like we did in Yugoslavia. Its a bad enough situation and speaks for itself so why misrepresent it or bring race into it

Don't think Richarlison is the kind of c**t we'd be interested in if the last window is anything to go by. Good team personalities. An under-rated commodity perhaps considering it was something Keegan looked for and that worked out pretty well.

Fun fact, if the score stays the same, they've lost more in the 3rd division than we have in the PL.

Noticed Leazes terrace getting free views there. Let them off with the bill if they sacrifice a bit of light

Eyeth I think you'll find.

Had a look at the games of those below us for the first time, wouldn't dare do ours, not factoring in our games against some of them I've got 10points keeping us above at least three of them. And that's with giving Leeds 16 and Burney 16+ whatever they get against us which some might see as generous.

If we avoid defeat to them, it would take an illogical mackem-esque escape for them to finish above us, so logically we'd be safe.

Not got good fixtures which is reassuring. Wolves at home next is about their best chance until Brentford at home and that's the penultimate game. Maybe Watford away but otherwise Arsenal, Chelsea, West Ham, Liverpool, Man United and Leicester.

They've had a few last day escapes, I don't hold out much hope for relegation for them, just finish below us and we'll go again

Of course, Marco highlighted this on total sport the other week "I played for the club in the premier league, well top flight, clubs invariably got their biggest gate of the season against us because of our away support" literally happened once in the top-flight (big relegation game against Man City) and once the year before - against us. but
