Did they not have a plastic pitch back in the day along with QPR? Its that long ago I cant remember now!

Win 4-3 on penalties ?

They are both very similar players as well........off the pitch ?

January might also include a FA cup 3rd round replay.

Seems to be growing in confidence every game. Great first touch and awareness and finds space in the box. He glides across the pitch, no laboured running from him. Remember in the summer (USA tour?) Longstaff did an interview with The Athletic and said he was more concerned about losing his place to 17 year old Miley than Tonali.

He was brilliant today. After the red card he had complete freedom of the park. Just leisurely playing on the edge of their 18 yard box with time on the ball. With all that extra space he was able to showcase his qualities. I'm praying he can repeat that type of performance on Tuesday night ?. He shooting is still shit mind ?. But when he plays like that it doesn't matter.

My eyes and ears ?. Hope I'm wrong just a bad feeling on this game. I thought the atmosphere was a bit flat on Wednesday. Cant see tomorrow being any better.

I said similar a few posts up and got pelters! If, it's a big if, we reinvested the money wisely we could really kick on as other teams have after selling their top player. Villa for Grealish, Liverpool for Coutinho, West Ham for Rice but still early days for that one. I'm sure there's plenty of examples on the continent where clubs have received and reinvested massive fees from sales to PL clubs.

Flat atmosphere, drained players, confident opposition. Can only see a 0-2 defeat.

Not seen any of the game back, only saw it in real time at the match. But fucking hell we seemed so naive second half. Imagine how it would have played out if Milan were 1-0 up at HT. They would have killed off the whole second half with petty fouls clinical yellows and full on shit housing. Its been a great adventure and a very steep learning curve for Howe and the players.

I'm the same. Everyone wins apart from us. Tonali doubles his wage, Milan get £55m to reinvest in the team and they also move the ticking time bomb which is an impending ban onto a patsy club....us. Milan is his boyclub team and he'll do anything to help them according to their Ultras. It's like us selling Longstaff to Juve for £55m and transferring the ban risk over to them.

Cant believe I'm saying this but would his £100m release clause fee be better used to buy £300m(?) of new players under FFP. He cant shoot, has no pace, cant tackle and is often found wanting in the most important games. He's a brilliant player for teams challenging 4th-7th but PIF want more than this. A midfield of Bruno, JoL and Longstaff/Miley/Tonali is too slow and cannot break up attacks.

Outside Harry's? Must be bloody freezing ? I'm only jealous but will be down there in a couple of hours!

I don't agree our midfield is fine as it is. At home yes, but not away. We were completely overrun and cut apart at Brighton, Wolves, Everton and Spurs. It started from about 30 seconds into the game on Sunday. Even Everton ran straight through it whenever they wanted

This is total bullshit like. 'A large portion of the season ticket holders are Ashley apologists'. I'm not and neither are any of the 10 or so in our match going group. In fact I dont know a single season ticket holder who is.

Plenty of people already do this. About £60 a season and watch every game on 4K HD with English commentary.

Agreed. My one negative post takeover is the cup final in February. We are much better than then in every dept but for some reason we froze on the day. Play that game now and we piss on them like we have done the last 3 games.

Yeah, was Ram Jams having a few pre match pints when the news appeared on the screens saying it's been postponed!

It's all true, Nissan workers have been hit by the crypto scam. There'll be thousands cutting back on renewing those £60 season tickets next year! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tees-67582637

I'm more pissed off with the 8 minutes of stoppage time. We made no subs, they made about 4, but cant recall the physios being on for any onfield injuries. Should have been 5 minutes added maximum.

When we signed him a Southampton work colleague said we've signed the new Bale. Said he'll start as full back then move into midfield then further forward just as Bale did. Hope he's right.

Getting better as he ages. That run and shot towards the end would have been an amazing goal. His long distance passing was majestic again. To think our previous manager preferred Ciaran Clarke ??

......As of July 2023, Forbes estimates Coates's net worth at $7.7 billion. In 2020, she earned a salary of £422 million and dividends of £48 million...... Canny business to be in like!

What the fuck did she actually say for all this to happen? It can't have only been those quotes a few pages up.
