I live not far from Brentford and if they were still a 4th division team, I reckon I would have a similar scenario filling the gaps between #itfc games, Friday night matches etc!

If you get that up to 50% wins, then we will be promoted!
Also, I'm assuming there is some connection with Arsenal too somewhere?

I saw it...
How are you feeling now? Do you have anyone to go to?

The video tells the story - you let players play on like that at the risk of serious injury from a misjudged tackle?

That would make a lot of sense. I've visited Hill House, it's impressive but covered in a cage now to protect it.

Yeah I've walked around it before, end up practically peering in the windows from some angles!
Wondered what that would be like staying there, but guess you're right that the people will be few and far between...

Had no idea you could stay there.
What happens with random visitors turning up to look around?!

Ah that's a shame, hopefully you get more chances to go.
I sit in same block and thought I recognised you (from the back!) as I was leaving!
Performance was much improved and a decent result in circumstances.
But feel we should be further forward than we are, all the same.

It was you in Block I yesterday, wasn't it?!
Wondered if you'd moved seats!

Hard to know what to read into that really.
Dont disagree, the body language doesn't ever seem great. But equally, seems hard to imagine we'd have bought a player who doesn't integrate.

I think it we send him out on loan it's just to cut costs with no buyer available.
He might have a really good year somewhere, but he still won't have proved himself at #itfc which I think might still be a problem.

Id start with 49 tbh. He's our best keeper, playing at a level he excelled at just over a year ago.
Plus he's a big investment.
Id want to try and make it work.

Very good shout.

I'm also a little anxious that it's going to be a little harder than some expect, based on fact that can't really judge if this team are any good..... Were they good last year but against stronger players, or still trying to find some coordination regardless?

She was banned for speeding. If she hadn't been speeding she wouldn't have got banned.

Funny you mention that as watched quite a large amount and kept pointing out the random people just appearing at the side/on stage, who should be doing something else but just happened to stop watching!

Think you might be right there!

Did anyone do it this season? Haven't noticed if they did.

I wondered if maybe it had been recorded prior to the recent events, as he was always leaving MOTD at the end of this season anyway.

Noted.
Lack of similar on the United team has been another factor to edge Spurs ahead for me.

Slim pickings. Basically a sub and the manager.

It's one of the few things we've drawn that we are honestly, genuinely embarrassed to share

No looked like he tried to rush the shot and got it all wrong.
Think he had two big chances he should have done better with.

Re: "coming full circle"- in the 80s, TV coverage was highlights dominated and most other info was heavily favouring the clubs (don't bite the hand that feeds etc).
By 90s/00s, we had content that challenged clubs etc.
Slightly different point, but it's also gone full circle.

I know it's not the essence of the story, but a wonderful reminder of an amazing day and achievement just under a year ago #itfc.
The year since has been one long reward for it too, despite the bumps in the road.

If we were in PL again next season, I'd be confident we might win a few more. It's the lack of even draws that are frustrating currently.
But it wasn't ever going to be easy...

a.) another season as far less under powered whipping boys and 3 potentially poorer teams to try and bully.
I'm up for that challenge!

#itfc have given Southampton 40% of their points this season.

Given feels the operative word there too.

Yeah can't honestly say I know what the purpose is either.
Does make ours look a little bit ordinary though.
That said, maybe Arsenal or United's is the same too

It might not be any better at all. As I said, there's very little to go on with the #itfc one.
But as a building, one looks way more impressive architecturally than the other. Which generally means the space is better designed.

Seeing Bournemouth's new training ground, the design looks like an absolutely elite club facility.
Can't help thinking that the plans for #itfc new training ground, by comparison, look a little ordinary. Obviously hard to tell from just plans and rendered images, but hope we show massive ambition.
