Kid Icarus

We did 8 from September to November in 95/96 as well. I'd guess that's our record in the PL era. Maybe there's a SBR era run but I doubt it.

It was more Hall and Barnes IIRC. Some are some that still think Barnes was a poor signing.

92/93 11 in a row. Top level I'd guess 8 in 94/95. Wdit: what Sima said.

Still getting up to speed. Providing he doesn't break down again he'll be sound imo.

9. And in the league. Must try harder.

Our run at the start of 94/95 was special like. We went over 2 months unbeaten, winning 15 out of 17 and those 2 draws being against eventual champions Blackburn and Liverpool. That will take some beating. Wins included Chelsea, Arsenal, Villa, Man United, Athletico Bilbao, and the Royal Antwerp, Southampton. Leicester, West Ham and Coventry thrashings.

That Bournemouth lad was absolutely spot on about him getting things clicking and then going on mad runs.

Can already feel the 5 different 'woke nonsense' posts being written as type this out.

North London appears to be black and white

A fitting end like, 2 of the best defensive displays I can remember us having bookending his time here.

Imagine having to play up front against him and Burn when you've just got over a cold.

Burn and Botman were sublime but I think Tonali's leadership was why we won for the first time without Bruno.

He's on Isak’s wavelength nearly all the time like, it's class.

No big calls for him to make but about as bad as it gets in terms of giving one team everything and the other nothing. Everyone knows that all people named John Brookes are wronguns.

Holy shit he was good. I'm almost certain he won everything he went in for both in the air and on the ground.

Absolutely fucking fantastic. It's only half time so we can't get emotional but that's about as perfect a performance as you could ask for. Dubravka: 8 Livramento: 7.5 Botman: 10 Burn: 10 Hall: 9 Willock: 6.5 Tonali: 9 Joelinton: 7 Murphy: 8 Isak: 9 Gordon: 8

Very few complaints there. Some shakey performances, but others playing really well and all of them fully committed. Expect them to be better second half so it would be great if we could hit them on the break second half.

Someone said it yesterday, transforming that West Ham squad into one that suits Potter won't be easy, so offering him a short term contract seems totally counterintuitive.

Yeah I remember that as well tbf. We don’t have the best record for seeing potential.

Since the expansion it's not the same stadium as the 90s atmosphere-wise. I do think it's partly the changing demographic regardless of that, but that everything also goes hand-in-hand. Stadiums and 'the matchday experience' are designed to cater to ever-wider demographics, ticket prices price some demographics out, allocations aren't necessarily nurturing the atmosphere because mates find it more difficult to sit together, and then supporters who are treated like customers end up acting like it.

Does this mean there's no issue with having a problem with people in the stadium then? Because for whatever reason you can point to, new stadiums and improved atmosphere don't seem to have gone hand-in-hand.

It's just as much, if not more, about the relationships the people in the ground have with those they're surrounded by and as has been brought up a few times, the club hasn't just failed to nurture that, they've actively ruined it.
