@FootballInT80s@StanCollymore I was there and it such an enduring memory that one. I am sadly stating to hate football in this modern era. No mavericks. Corruption everywhere.
@TyBracey Football is screwed. Fans paying more&more ยฃ. Some ardent followers getting priced out of the game. Players paid more&more ยฃ. Players can't take any criticism, but are quick to turn on fans. Manager calling for more fan energy. It's becoming joyless.
@FrankieMaguire Probably the first time Iโve felt very strongly that Unai got the line up wrong. Supposedly Watkins is out of form due, to carrying an injury, yet our ยฃ18m new striker, who is clearly chomping at the bit and ready to make an impact, spends most of the game sat on the bench again
Christmas Day we were 3rd with a 9 point gap to 6th.
Today we are 3rd with a 8 point gap to 6th. Even with all the injuries. Keep plugging away, grinding points out.
Champions League qualification would be a bigger achievement this season than when we managed it in 2024.
