    Queens Park Rangers v AFC Bournemouth - 3rd Round FA Cup

    A little off topic but I haven’t seen it discussed, I initially felt a little sad at the abuse Bego was getting from our fans. Then he did some shithousery with a spare ball on the pitch to try and disrupt our attack, he knew what he was doing, and from then I stopped feeling sad.

    Adam Smith

    Not just important for defensive performance, but in this young team for his onfield leadership and experience. Incredible energy in three high tempo games in six days.

    We might actually be first on MOTD….

    Where We Stand On Boxing Day

    Five out of seven games between now and Boxing Day are against teams currently in the bottom half of the league (although only three of those seven are home games). If we can manage fitness whilst those games come thick and fast, we should be capable of pulling well clear of the bottom three.

    Non. RIP Simon Emmerson

    Yeah it was very sad news. I also loved Working Week, still do.

    Andoni Iraola

    When I think back, the (so far) defining moment of this season was the own goal which came from absolutely nowhere just before half time at Brighton. Everything which happened before then, even the defeats, I was completely OK with and could accept, and since that precise moment we've basically...

    Andoni Iraola

    Completely agree - it's all well and good demanding AI goes but I haven't yet seen anyone credible mentioned on this forum that I could imagine would be a better idea than the one we originally had when we appointed him.

    Same as Australian cricketers when they become pundits (Warne, Mcgrath etc). I also think that's what RS is trying to say, he found the political system is impossible to be part of without being ruined

    Completely agree on the Podcast he does with Campbell, between them they talk a lot of sense. He's doing the rounds at the moment to promote his book, this podcast from last week also worth a listen https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/rory-stewart/id925357185?i=1000627100398

    Rational thinking

    First three games vs teams currently 2nd, 3rd and 4th in the league. We've been competitive in each of those games. We do need to start scoring and turn good performances into goals but so far, for me, this is fine.

    Arsenal home game points

    Thank you for the reply. I guess the other thing I could have added is that this is all very discretionary, nothing to stop the club removing ticket sales for any points holders (including "super" high points holders) going forward and making it all Season Tickets & Cherries Tuesday only at...

    Arsenal home game points

    Yeah that's absolutely stonking news if you're in that top points bracket. I went to every home game last year so theoretically had maximum points. No I didnt go to the pre-season friendlies. Why? Because I live 140 miles from the Vitality and I thought I had shown enough commitment doing that...

    Gary O'Neil

    Three things didn’t help, the goal line technology, Frazer, and the pandemic coming at a time where we were starting to recover some form after an awful mid season run…but in the end they’re just excuses and we should have been good enough without them….

    The Unofficial AFCB End Of Season Awards

    I would like to put forward here, whatever anyone thinks of him in the medium and shot term, I think GoN deserves some recognition on this thread (and I know it's been mentioned on others) for one really brave decision which I think he got a Win / Win / Win out of. Moving the captaincy from...
