Tweedy goal on 88 mins

ClaretTony

Wasn't that Sunday lunchtime? I have a vague memory that you couldn't actually get to the match on the train without staying over. It was a Sunday and I recall not long after leaving we got news that Brighton had gone in front at Leeds so it must have been the early game. Just checked and it was 12...

U21s v Swansea this afternoon

Did we not make this mistake for games at the end of our last relegation campaign as well. It's quite clear that if we are still in with a chance then tickets would be in higher demand for these games than any other this season. Just 1,294 Burnley fans there for our last visit which, like this year...

Tell you what song I did like on Saturday:

“We all dream of a team of Sander Berges”… nearly got going. Need to stick at that one.

Apart from the fact they were singing Berg

Boro v Leeds - live on Sky

Inter Milan v AC Milan - pretty sure if Inter win they win the League, live on TNT1

Inter 2-0 up away to Milan which is still at home. Around 15 mins left and assuming they retain their lead they will be champions tonight.

It was considered one of the top hotels in the north when it opened but for many years now the building has looked an absolute eyesore.

The weirdest thing is Brighton wanting to part with De Zerbi

They don’t but it appears that De Zerbi wants to part with Brighton

ClaretTony

Seems Pace thinks Sacha Tavolieri is a child

ClaretTony

He is on a long contact ( I think ) with us and will be well paid so will cost Brighton a pretty penny. Didn’t know clubs could approach other teams Managers !!! Clubs can approach clubs for permission to speak to their manager. That’s the theory but definitely not the reality. Usually the formal a...

ClaretTony

Ah. In my memory Spurs were interested and he decided to stay. Probably only based on paper talk though. Sounds like there's something in this report of Brighton approaching VK then, CT? There wasn’t anything in Spurs from what I was told. As for this one, I’d certainly heard nothing until the twee...

Which part is daft? He’s been forced into playing dross like Taylor at fullback in the PL because the board didn’t sign the players he wanted.

He signs the players

ClaretTony

That team was fantastic. For all the great years we've had since, I've never had an affinity to a team like that one. Didn't realise Remco ever got back on the bench again after what I presume was a fall out early in the season. We had Adam Kay ahead of him in the pecking order I think at one point...

I’ll be writing to Sheffield United to thank them. They looked after me superbly.

Emailed them yesterday and received an initial response at 9:03 today. They might be crap on the pitch but clearly not off it.

ClaretTony

Would be interested to get the thoughts of the 'Kompany Out' brigade on another Premier League club wanting to poach VK. Let's hope he's still as invested in the 5 year project as he was when turning down potential suitors last season. I’m not aware he turned down anyone last season. I know there w...

ClaretTony

Well done both of you. I’m exhausted reading about it.

ClaretTony

Chris Eagles’ best performance for us that day if I recall. Undoubted his best performance for us. And it was Duff who pulled up in the warm up so Jordan moved to centre half to cover him, Alexander switched to left back with Elliott going in at right back. Thompson came in off the bench. We alread...

ClaretTony

Great performance but Doug's goal certainly wasn't wonderful. Free kick which took a massive deflection and completely wrong footed the keeper. It was wonderful in that it was our first goal back in the first division but it hit someone in their defensive wall which left the goalkeeper helpless. Do...

ClaretTony

He passed the ball to the opposition to give them a shooting chance. He then saved the shot ! His what I would call traditional goalkeeping was outstanding but three times he put us in trouble playing out. One of the three came two mins after they’d scored when he passed it straight to that bloke b...

A few journalists who cover Olympiacos say this is pretty mild compared to some of the statements from Olympiacos about refs.

I didn't think Olympiacos made statements about referees, I thought they just sorted them out on the day.

ClaretTony

I've just read that three weeks ago he was able to go to the Swansea v QPR game. His former team mate Alan Curtis said of him: "Leighton was a wonderful player and certainly one of the best players I have ever played with and one of our greatest players to have played for the Swans. “He was naturall...

Good report. Regarding the Assignon elbow, could he still be charged by the FA and suspended?

Theoretically he could which would then bring him that four game ban but I think it’s unlikely in a game that’s had VAR in operation.

Why was my post re Bobby Thomas deleted?
Is it not possible to critise our club now?

Nothing has been deleted but the Thomas threads have all been merged into today's football to prevent duplicate stuff.

ClaretTony

This is the key point I think from Tony. When I’ve raised the same issue many times this season I’ve made it clear that integrity is not in question, it is subconscious bias, and PGMOL should know this and have the same approach to avoiding issues between rivals in the table as they do regarding lo...

Unbelievable turnaround in this semi.

It’s so hard when you’ve got there but rules are rules and they will have known about them.

GWS, CT. Any fall is not good at our age but head injuries can’t be good. I won't say keep smiling but chin up. BTW. Is the Dortmund jacket coming out for the CL semis. They have long been my German side. The coat is still here, occasionally used for an under 21 game. At least I had a black coat on...

ClaretTony

I got a message from John this afternoon with a pic of him with his medal. I’m sure he will post it when he gets on the board.

ClaretTony

What they have done here in making the Luton reference is question the integrity of the referee. That has to be unacceptable. I assume they will get a charge from the FA that will end in a fine.

ClaretTony

Every time they get a decision go against them they complain. When a shocker of a decision went in their favour against us their manager at the time Steve Cooper thought it was good.

Their official twitter can't be doing that.

Dyche in a tracksuit looks proper weird !!!

Other than pre season games in training top and shorts, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him on the touch line before not wearing a suit.

Berges goal at Forest had stood!

It was Foster who scored it

ClaretTony

There were nearly two in S2 yesterday

ClaretTony

Too soon to celebrate it unfortunately. 1-1 almost immediately.

ClaretTony

Is this any different to Dyche's reticence to talk about injury lay offs? It was a long running joke on here when he used 'touch and go' and 'back on the grass' and you wouldn't see a player for months. With the Koleosho injury, Kompany said he was out for a while but couldn’t share the ‘medical de...

Thanks again everyone, not brilliant this morning as expected with my mouth very swollen and pain all over the place.

Glad you’re ok Tony My dad nearly went flying walking around the barriers getting to the turnstiles On on side they were “flat” but as you went around the end one, the base stuck quite a way out and he tripped over it.

Bournemouth 7-1 and Hull 6-1 both mentioned. Also 6-1 v Wolves in 2020/21.

ClaretTony

I missed the first two or three minutes but other than that I saw it. My little great niece was there and really upset during the first half until I saw her at half time and reassured her that uncle Tony was fine.

I’ll be writing to Sheffield United to thank them. They looked after me superbly.

Saw you before the match CT walking across the front of the stand, just wondered if all was ok? Thanks bumba. I was talking to people outside on Bramall Lane and then turned to go into the ground. As I turned I went straight into a traffic cone and fell over. I had medical staff there very quickly ...
