Same as they ever were

Would you have expected any different?

Things are not so bad as they once were, but when people think of the dark days of football hooliganism, Millwall were setting the bar. They have something of a reputation.

To be fair, that’s just Millwall on their best behaviour. I’d have expected much worse from them!

Up the Town 🙌

#askwxm. Sound was good today apart from Mia’s mic, which was frequently pretty quiet. Thanks for a great call from a formidable place!

Aaaaaaaand unclench!

Three points from Millwall! What a smash and grab in London. Just hoping Ward is ok.

Now for the long trip back to, as I have heard from the Millwall fans, Northern Ireland, apparently. #UTST #askwxm

If offered a point at this moment I’d take your hand off for it. Hopefully we get it and still feel that way instead of feeling like we lost discipline at the end!

#askwxm on early today, eh!? How you all feeling? loving the lineup so far. Presumably since it’s Millwall the food offered is eel pie or something else suitably English. Looking forward to a review of it.

Amen

Yeah. Think the maelor could probably save on lactulose prescriptions if we had less squeaky bum time!

Nothing more BBC than showing a bunch of folks sitting around a very large, very posh home kitchen talking about how awful it was they had the winter fuel payment taken off of them. I’m all for helping people who need it, but wondering why pensioners who own their home and earn more than me need it

I mean, if we extrapolate our smith could have been a 20 goal striker last year for us, but it’s a step up and I’d rather have someone in now than overspend in January.

Still, I’m all for a stout defensive team that doesn’t give up much

Wouldn’t mind splashing on a proper striker to play with smith, but yeah, that’s my read as well. Wouldn’t mind a bit of a utility midfielder either instead of just holding, or maybe a bit of wingback depth, but if we take three off that list I’ll be thrilled.

Gutwrenching to go down to Belgium on an absolutely incomprehensible handling call, but what a spectacular spirit to fight back into the game. Let’s just hope those points aren’t the difference between a trip to World Cup and watching. #Cymru #Wales #WCQ #VARshambles

Literally the one position at which we don’t need anything at all. Baffling rumour. He could be trying to drive up wages elsewhere

That blown call is looking a bit more important now. Shocking officiating tonight.

I am quite happy with VAR in theory, but at this point even I’m ready to bin the whole experiment. Keep the semi-automated offside and lose the rest

Yeah, if we lose like this at least it won’t be on an abjectly awful call.

That said, we’ve been fairly shit at defending tonight, so I cant say I’m optimistic this scoreline will hold

Handling*

Take so long (and still come to the wrong conclusion).

Nothing unnatural about it, arm partially behind his back, no idea what the rules are.

At this point would be happy with them just saying “anything below the sleeve is handing, intentional or not.” At least that’s clear

That is one of the most absurd penalties I’ve seen. Arm was behind his back on replay. #FAW #Wales #CYMRU #WCQ

“BeSt TeAm In EuRoPe”. #ynwa

We’re basically playing with house money at this point. We didn’t expect to be here at all. Enjoy the ride is just it!

I’d be shocked, personally, for this off season, but if we’re intending to stay in the championship a whole or even challenge in a couple of years we aren’t miles away from having to drop eight figures on a signing.

#askwxm @finalwhistle.bsky.social what is your over under for the price you expect us to pay for our biggest signing this summer? think we’ll spend eight figures on anyone?

#askwxm @finalwhistle.bsky.social are you expecting mariott, barney, fletcher, and/or Lee at 60-70 if things continue on? Or do you think we have enough in the tank to win this one

Two goals in eight minutes is some retribution for that KC player not getting sent off. #RCTID

Unbelievable lack of a red in the #Portland game. Not sure how stomping straight-legged high on the shin with studs up isn’t an immediate sending off… #MLS #PDX #RCTID

Yeah, should clarify, by Rathbone I more meant someone who would cover a lot of ground, pass well, and not lose the ball easily. Agree it should be slightly more defensive minded than Ollie.
