Movement

Baz definitely wants us to stay in championship. He is well aware that no other championship club will want him given his performance in Stoke. But our club, in order to preserve his value from dropping to zero, will play him in the coming year if we stay. They will say he is still young. He may improve.

You realise her stake is the same whether she's actively involved or not right? Her "piece of the pie" will be there regardless.

Resistance

That's 4 words though... 🤔

Agree last two games now pointless. We cant afford any more yellows, reds or injuries. Mind you Downes gets booked every game anyway!

Perhaps this just passed me by and everyone here has already heard this but I don't rememer seeing any discussion about it. I always heard the story that a Bilbao player called Juan Elorduy, struggling in his task to bring back 50 Blackburn Rovers shirts while in England, ended up buying 50 Saints shirts before leaving port and thus, Athletic Bilbao and Atletico Madrid both wear red and white stripes to this day. While its charm means this version of events remains the most popular in Bilbao, it seems a fan group called Bilbao Black Cats and some historians dispute this. Their evidence... Elorduy was reportedly training in Bilbao during the Christmas he was supposedly in England, making the last-minute purchase in Southampton physically impossible. The voyage of the steamship Bachi, owned by the family of the Athletic president, sailed from Sunderland to Bilbao in December 1909, arriving just days before the team debuted the red-and-white kit. The specific text "H. A. Murton, 8 & 9 Fawcett Street, Sunderland" is found in Athletic Bilbao museum documentation. This was a sports shop that sold Sunderland shirts. Juan Arzuaga and William Llewellyn Dyer, two key figures at the club in 1909, had significant ties to the Sunderland area and may have been active proponents for the change. The rediscovery of an antique decorative ceramic plate, gifted from Athletic Bilbao to Sunderland AFC, proves the two clubs had close ties at the time. I haven't corroborated this myself but it was seemingly compelling enough that last year, Athletic Bilbao acknowledged this alternative origin when previously, the Southampton link was the only accepted story. At least we still have our connection to the purported "father of football" in Brazil, Charles Miller...

Just wait till games starts and get tgd person to move to you block and stand between seats. Likely to be all standing. Happens all the time in Northam and away games with groups of 4 of 5.

Will we see the return of ‘Big Kats Diary’ ? 🤣. 🐻

You could go down to st narys and see if the porta cabin ticket office is open. This happens to me all the time if select ticket auto rather than select seat kn dots. Appalling IT system definitely the worst I have encountered working in IT. I have had two away games changes as I said what's the point allocating in different seats. But I called ticket office straight away and got though. Good luck.

Have a great day disregard the result family is all that matters and this game is what supporting your local club is about. Bollox to the glory hunters COYY

Hmmm not keen on her, no interest in the club beyond her dads wishes and probably just wants a piece of the pie if (and it's a big if) we achieve premier League status again hopefully she takes a back seat and isn't involved in any operational decisions!

Could leave all the 1st team out, Ipswich and Preston are dead games and at this rate of cards and injuries we won't have a decent 45 mins team. Typical Stephens, Downes and Manning out for City. 3 of our best players.

It's not uncommon for matches to be replayed, where it's not gone past half time. The Dutch FA may not have rules like Afcon's article 82. They might have balanced the second half non-appearance against potential abusive comments, looked at when the match stopped and felt a replay was the best outcome. That the opponents were from a rough neighbourhood, doesn't mean it didn't happen. Who knows what was said in a brawl? We know only too well that the most liberal, world saviours, can turn out to be racists. So, being a good guy can only go so far. Perhaps, he didn't hear it, but it happened. On the other hand, the opponents could have been cynically playing the race card to get away with being a man and a goal down. That's not known for sure. Play the replay. Don't get goaded. Beat them, and move on.

Try not to imagine the nightlight as a floodlight. Beneath which, Baz is trying to pick out the flight of a ball. 🙂

All the feel-good factor, hope and belief wiped out in one fell swoop. I still sleep with a nightlight, fearing this 🥺

My son has decided to take one of my inferior tickets so there will be three generations of us going. I say 'inferior' but but in terms of location he will be right up in the penultimate row and my grandson and I will be in section 123 down near the pitch. I shall be driving two of us to Swindon to meet my grandson who will be on the train from Gloucester. It will be a family outing.

It could be the other way around. Tonda strikes me as someone who has fokus on one thing at a time (preparing for the next game), and he is the one waiting to see what division we are in next season. He knows that even if we go up, or not, he will still be in demand (sorry about that)

Can’t believe there has been no effort by the BBC to make out these are British lads Three men guilty of 'callous' Brighton beach rape https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg090pe65vo

Yeah yeah yeah keep telling yourself that whilst you play with your buckle belt

It’s all very weird. All I can think is that it’s too low level for a proper investigation. He’s good guy I think he’d say if there was racial abuse but they knew nothing about it until the opposition used that as the reason to not fulfil the game. I might have a slightly bias view but the game was abandoned following violent conduct from an opposition player and their refusal to complete the fixture so why are they being punished? A kick in the head is dangerous and could even be criminal prosecution.

I, for one, will be welcoming our number one 'keeper back next season, if we don't go up. Sadly Ramsdale will want PL, and Peretz loan may not be permanent, due to us having to watch our budget. I'm sure it will all still be "fine". 🙂

Rumour is the recent visit to 'Merica was to secure a deal on Trump's red Tesla. Just a rumour mind.

It's sad that racial abuse, both real and fictional, seems to be on the rise. Also, did the Dutch FA not follow AFCON? Something racially unpleasant where a former colonial power has different rules, for walking off the pitch, to the rules followed in Africa. #article82
