Ready for the game in Stade du Hainaut. Allez VA ! ❤️🤍

Whiteman out for 14, 37-2.

Was very concerned about the gamble appointment at the time. Though fair play their next gamble appointment has been stellar. Was really unimpressed by him tactically. He didn’t seem to have any clue how he wanted u to play or how to attack opposition weaknesses. Players have gone out of their way to talk up tonda in this regard, which implies to me that the players were unimpressed too. His player identification was bad. He looked at bree and thought he wasn’t good enough whereas under tones he’s played every game since his return and looked great. Ending up at a game and having to taxi Bragg to the game with no preparation hardly smacks of good player management. i know some people liked the way he talked but I thought it was very amateurish. curious what his previous team actually thought were his strengths.

Yeah - still not convinced - the casebook against - failed to get Ralph the striker he wanted instead giving him a load of kids who had played little/zero professional football. Forced an assistant manager on him (Selles) and arguably asked him to change tactics (suddenly trying 5 at the back) - Appointed Nathan Jones (with the only other option they considered Juric) - Gave up and appointed Selles - spent £12m on another Man City youngster when went down (yes he’s now starting to look the part, but 2 seasons later - did nothing that season) - Decided that we didn’t need a DOF in the premier league - instead splitting that vital role between 3 people with no football ability - Bought the forward line of the team who just went down miserably, and a load of other clearly not good enough players aside from a gk to keep the score down - waited to long to remove Russ when it was clear that his plan A would never work and total refusal for any plan B - appointed Juric (remember - they had already decided this bloke was worse than Jones) - took a massive gamble in appointing Will Still - Decided that we didn’t need loan players despite literally every recent successful Championship club having them (including us) as they are too expensive to buy after - yes they put money in, but we lost £50m last year and notably the money they have loaned us has interest (most owners give it interest free) Some of the above you can claim is down to learning etc, but for me there are some astonishingly arrogant ‘we know best, look how clever we are’ decisions. Basically our position is totally self inflicted by SR and as others mention they have a way yet just to get to par.

It's totally fair to give them a thumbs up when things go well, but equally the 'boot' when things are pretty bad. Let's be fair - based on the whole bigger picture, they have been terrible owners for us. They have wasted a lot of money and made stacks of managerial mistakes. Relegated us twice. They really don't have any credit in the bank. I think they deserve credit for shaking things up in the summer and in January, but we need another couple of years of 'good' decisions from them if they are to erase all of their mistakes from the past.

No I agree with Weston. It may be a small difference but I think darts is one that’s not quite equal. Snooker I get as an equality, but the 7ft 9in on darts does IMO make a bit of a difference.

Booking fees for anything are (and always have been) just a bullshit way of making tickets look a bit cheaper than they actually are.

£2.50 booking fee, per ticket! And they’re all digital anyway so no idea what we’re actually paying for.

Bean baked by Abbott for 1. See if we can get one or maybe even two more tonight.

Nice little name check about her book in the address to the nation. ....'Honest Guv I have no contact with that Geezer, Epstein, who 'Im Indoors' tells me used to manage that Limey Group, The Beetles..... Meantime, Melania's Documentary grossed £33,000 in the first week's showing in the UK. It played to larger audiences in the USA with 99% of MAGA supporters gave it a 5/5 positive review. The other 4% were a little less impressed.

He reminds me of the goby kid at Wednesday afternoon snooker who got whitewashed 3-0 at Pot Black every week and always said ‘I’ll be back next week with my graphite cue and I’ll thrash you’. Next Wednesday, no graphite cue and the same outcome.

What a leave that was from Bean. Pitch doing a bit, we’re in this.

That's one opinion, mine is that's bollox. There's no physical reason why a woman can't play darts as well as a man. Ditto snooker.

You cynic... noting that earlier Nasdaq gains have fallen away, and the other indexes have slipped too.

I think he should go home and play his football manager.

Oh look, threats coming out on a Friday to destabilise the markets over the weekend before another 'peace' announcement on Monday after his mates have made another killing. It's a playbook that's getting old but keeps working so why change!

Glad to hear you enjoyed your trip and witnessed us perform well. Perhaps you are a lucky omen. I am reminded of our record Premier League result a few years back when we trounced Sunderland 8-0. Sat in front us was a chap from Australia who was visiting relatives in Southampton and had managed to get a ticket for his first visit to St Marys. We all offered to chip in and pay for future visits to the ground as he was obviously a lucky charm!! How did you manage to arrange a visit to the Training Ground? Most supporters have not been able to visit since the expansion of the facility. Would be interested to learn how you spent your time over here, outside of the game time.

So my only hope of getting tickets for me, my bro and my nephew altogether is if they buy the discounted memberships and I add them as my friends/family, and just hope it doesn't sell out before it goes to members with no purchase history. Have I read that right?

Need early wickets tonight, at least a couple. Hard to tell if 251 is competitive until both have batted on it, but bar Lehmann, lots of starts and few finishes. Agree @Window Cleaner that Weatherley is crap. Waste of a spot and means Yusuf was coming in as high as 7. Brown is far from undroppable at the moment. Not seeing his influence on the side either so he needs runs and catches. Opening bowlers need to be fuller at Headingley - good economy but not getting their openers forward enough. You might get driven a couple of times but worth it to get a wicket.

Doing a wonderful job. I've never doubted them.

His latest ramblings below. The bit in bold is particularly special. He doesn't seem to comprehend that the majority of sane people can see through his lies, and those of his colleagues in the US regime. 'The US is loading its warships with the "best weapons" in case the peace talks with Iran fail, US President Donald Trump has suggested. Speaking in a phone interview to New York Post on Friday, he says "we're going to find out in about 24 hours," the paper reports. "We're loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation. "And if we don't have a deal, we will be using them and we will be using them very effectively," he adds. Of the Iranians, he says they are people that you "don't know whether or not they tell the truth".'

That’s the problem though - we won’t. We’ll almost certainly lose Peretz, Larin, THB and Charles, and probably Scienza as well if someone makes a decent offer and the most recent accounts are to be believed. I think it’s highly likely that Eckert will get poached too if we don’t go up. Then we’re back to the tombola of having to find a new manager, half a team, and hoping they all gel over the short space of one season, with less money. Does Spors stick around too, and even if he does, can he find another bunch of affordable gems or will it be more Damion Downs / Jelert / Roerslevs? Who knows. It’s very, very risky. We need to go up this season or we risk going back to square one.

It’s pure distraction. What an absolute mess Trump and MAGA. Vance trying to prop up the ailing Orban in Hungary whilst blatantly briefing behind the scenes so he’s distanced from Iran, Trump, Kushner and Mad Ben. Unfortunately for him, we all remember the meetings with the AFD during the German elections and we know he’s as far right as Trump. Would be brilliant to see Orban toppled at the weekend, one key populist domino falling and further weakening Trump ahead of the mid-terms. He propped up that twat in Argentina with a big bag of money but it would reassuring if European electorates are unable to be controlled in the same way. Mad Ben himself under a hail of criticism domestically for the war not bringing the regime change he promised in Iran and the depleting of Hezbollah. He’s fucked up and he’s fucked Trump and the rest of us up with him. Moron.

Got a question on purchasing tickets as friends 4 of us are going and I have added the 3 season ticket holders/supporter numbers to my account as friends with details of their supporter numbers and email addresses Can I assume I can purchase all 4 tickets in total for our group and that they will be allocated to each supporter? Don’t want a surprise on Wednesday when they go on sale!
