GPAT absolutely smashing West Hoults just now. Best thing I've seen by some distance.

Comment above about it being the poorest in a decade. Perhaps in terms of sitting at home but that's not the festival. Experiencing it first hand makes you realise the lineup is largely irrelevant.

Always choose a few at decent prices. This time it included fiver Ew on Rose at 80/1 so his start sets up an exiting weekend.

what_no_pies

Couple of glaring omissions so far. His biggest influence on the first 5 minutes of the game was to disrupt our two most promising phases unnecessarily, at least once by being in the way. The blatant shirt pull on Flemming from a corner was a penalty all day long. That's being overlooked because the...

I mentioned the Joelinton thing. It's a serious suggestion. We signed him as a raw player with potential to become a PL striker knowing we needed to help him realise that potential. It's just not happened for one reason or another. He has the sort of attributes that probably got him ahead of his pee...

Edwards dinking the ball into the defenders leg would have kept the ball closer to Edwards if anything but he got cleaned out
It's a foul every time.

what_no_pies

We have two dominant centre halves that rarely even acknowledge the ball in the other box. Attacking set pieces have been a real weakness for some time now. Mercifully we can defend them at the moment.

what_no_pies

Tugs on shirts to stop us breaking are professional fouls, yellow cards. They usually went without even a free kick. The obvious penalty was the clear as day short pull on Flemming on a corner but they're allowed to ignore those without scrutiny apparently. The guy was a total Homer and had zero con...

Time to try and 'Joelinton' him.

Irrespective of your feelings on the general themes of this thread it's hard to deny that a goalscorer would likely have hit the ground running last night. A convincing win and a couple of goals for the new man would have given the players and fans a huge lift and filled us with confidence and excit...

First one was tight but looked offside, outside the box and not even a foul. Other than that it was a clear penalty.

what_no_pies

It's a shame he's absolutely bobbins when it comes to attacking a corner as if he was even nearly a threat going that way he'd be the whole package. As it is he's bloody hopeless as an attacking outlet. Great defender though .

Picking up on Dressing Gowns reply about Europa Park on the Krakow thread I detected a fellow enthusiast. Something about the way he gushed about zero g stalls might have given the game away.

So essentially they saw fit to disregard his racist tendencies but subsequently sacked him for trying to raise awareness of a medical quirk.

Came to mention Energylandia too. I have been wanting to head out to Krakow but my main motivation is this park. They have so many incredible looking rollercoasters. A few very well travelled theme park nerds rate Zadra as the best rollercoaster in the world. It looks insane. This thread has got me ...

This, in a nutshell. I appreciate the standard of football is much, much, lower, but I went to Maidstone today and it cost me £46 for 4 tickets. If I had chosen to stand instead of sit, then the 4 tickets would cost £34 and my 2 kids would be free. I find my local none league team a much more rewar...

You are right, it was not a foul by Hannibal but he'd already had an incident when this defender, Tchamadeu, got a yellow. After the 'foul' Hannibal stepped on Tchamadeu's chest. Of course he made a meal of it but....... He stood on his groin and how are you to know how much that genuinely hurt? Lo...

Watched almost half the games at the ground and the rest on the telly but have thought that on lots of occasions the crowd was flat. Many of those draws turn to wins if the crowd is right behind the team but it's not. A drum isn't the answer but we need something to change.

Leicester, West Brom, Middlesbrough, Portsmouth and Preston are 5 to begin with that are worse than us.

I was at Boro on Sunday and thought they made more noise than the Turf crowd has made for any of the games I've caught this season.

Ok. Our coaches should arrive around 7.15pm. I'll meet you outside turnstile 53. Payment on collection is fine.

Greatly appreciated. We'll be there before you barring any unforseen. My pal will be wearing a light blue shell jacket and loitering by the turnstyle.

Sensational stuff yesterday. Price 3.0 up Vs Cullen who then won 3 sets of his own. If I've remembered correctly fom 2.2 in the decider there were 7 consecutive breaks of throw, one of which was a 170 for Cullen with Price sitting pretty on a double. Price won it in the end. Darts WC has become my f...

3 of us going on but a mate is hoping to join us. If anyone finds themselves with a spare adult ticket I suspect he'll snap your hand off at face value..

We had the bar set frighteningly low before.

Mixing it up a bit should have started happening at least a year ago.

It's quite exciting to think it's a whole area of the game where we can carry an additional threat mind. We could blow this division apart if we click on attacking set pieces.

My wife and I are going to Benalmadena for 5 days with friends in May. Flights (to Malaga) are quite a bit cheaper if we leave a few days earlier than the planned trip so we're wondering about how/where to spend a few days somewhere in the region. Completely open to all possibilities. Would be happy...

Should have been Russ Cook. He risked his life running across Africa for charity. As sporting achievements and being aspirational go it knocks spots off all those that were in the sanitised BBC mix up.

Those mentioned by several other posters in this thread, including the comments from Alan Pace - and I specifically said "if they are to be believed", unless you missed that part? My question is hypothetical and stands, so I will ask it again. What would the player have to gain in this scenario, if...

Complete shambles.

ALK promised to improve the experience. It starts with buying a ticket and our means to do so are abysmal. Then it's common to be sent back to the ticket office because a ticket won't scan.

The fact this hasn't been sorted shows a complete lack of regard for us fans.

Such a shame. What possible benefit to the player is there of refusing to play/train properly, if these reports are to be believed?

Where are the reports that he is refusing to play/train properly?

"Literally" From what I found when I did a spot of rearch a while back is that the original and strict definition of "literally" was to only emphasize that something is true in the most precise and direct sense - so without exaggeration. So if somebody said, "I literally died laughing" - it means y...

The opposition knew we weren't playing any passes in behind to ask questions and turn them around. They pushed everyone into midfield and let us pass it to nowhere in there all night.

Im with you on a straight 0-0 or no goalscorer should there be an own goal. But would it make ant difference to betting say 1-0 home win, 1-0 away win & 0-0 even if it is an own goal, i might be wrong but i doubt you would be paid out on 2 winning bets a 1-0 victory and a 0-0 because of an own goal...

Numerous players ongoing absence ultimately arc back to VK mismanaging injuries.

Get him on the left. It's so frustrating watching him playing out of position and clearly struggle.
