    Manchester Recommendations…

    Me and the Wife are off to Manchester Thursday/Friday next week. We’re seeing Gaslight Anthem on Friday at The O2 but getting to Manchester around midday Thursday. It’s a good few years since I’ve been to Manchester so not a clue about the best bars / restaurants to go to. I imagine we’ll...

    We got a slice of luck…

    I couldn’t attend tonight as had child duties, but it was funny listening to some of the half time texts on BBC Tees. It felt like some Boro fans were very angry with the referee for giving a very soft Red card. One in particular criticising Howson for his reaction. Howson gets caught a little...

    India v England - 3rd Test

    Couldn’t see the usual Test match thread. India have made 4 changes. England replace Bashir with Wood. India 34-3 after the first hour. Wood 2 / Hartley 1. Great start!

    What’s the Paddy Situation?

    Surely he’s in the top 3 best CB’s we have (not including Lenihan due to injury). He was in good form prior to his injury and not had a sniff since his return. Has he told the club he’s off so not playing him? Doesn’t seem to make sense given our defensive frailties. Suits Carricks style a...

    Red Factions Next Fund Raiser…

    Should be to buy 32k of these for the Mackem game next season. Imagine the scene! Kudos to the two people who wore them yesterday! 😆

    After a heavy defeat…

    Teams often bounce back. Our next game is against The Mackems. Perfect timing in a way!

    Klopp - Anfield Crowd

    Imagine if Carrick called out us in this way. There would be an absolute meltdown 😆 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67782829

    That decision for the free kick.

    One of the worst I’ve seen this season. How on earth he thought he should pull it back with Engel in the box with runners coming in. Justice done in the end though. Beautiful.

    Michael Carrick

    So happy how things turned around. Barring a couple of really poor games, I always thought we were very small margins away from getting results. He’s kept his cool, didn’t look to blame players, stuck to his principles and we’re looking so much better now. Some of the new signings are slowly...

    Matt Crooks

    Can’t say I’ve been a huge fan this season but there was interesting tactical tweak today. Seemed to have a floating role with McGree. Dropped into more defensive / covering positions when McGree advanced or drifted central. Definitely had a much better game today and added much needed...

    Flying Flags

    In Gardens and Windows. I don’t really get it. I understand maybe World Cup’s and big events like Royal Coronation’s (not my cup of tea but whatever). Or even if you lived on the coast and wanted to clearly indicate to Vikings and other Sea Travellers where they’ve beached. But 365 days of...

    Zero Positives

    I’m a glass half full man generally but FML. Awful, abject and clueless. That’s all I have to say. Get me to the bar.

    Honest Assessment

    Once I seen the starting line up today, I was never overly confident. Crooks and Rogers are too similar for me. Lack pace to really stretch teams. Add McGree and Forss into the mix and I’m not sure Millwall were ever really worried about us getting in behind. The first half was sluggish. All...

    Devastated…

    I must admit, 10 minutes into the second half I started to get a sinking feeling. It just didn’t feel like it was meant to be tonight. We’ve had some unbelievable highs and some lows this season. Being 3-0 down to Cardiff at home under Wilder was a major low for me. If you’d have told me this...

    Keith Stroud

    I knew what we were in for once I seen who was in charge. Wreaks of Little Man Syndrome. How he is considered good enough to referee at this level is beyond me!

    Loads of positives tonight…

    When I looked at tonight’s side, I thought we might struggle with the amount of changes and only 1 recognised centre back. The reality was so much different. We dominated for large spells and played much better football. Luton were bang average. The only real criticism would be we weren’t...

    “I hope we get beat tonight…

    To teach us a lesson” Were the words I heard uttered behind me after we went 1-0 down. The same person was quite happily celebrating at 3-1 up. Where do these cretins come from? What lesson were we going to learn? We were far from our most fluent in the first half half (first 10 minutes...

    We’ve ran out of steam…

    Only scoring one in that second half. Disgrace!
