The woman next to me was hilarious too. She moaned at me for the entire game about how the old guy on the other side of her had really garlicky-smelling armpits. He then proceeded to remove his shoes, take off his socks and wipe his sweaty face with them hahahahahaha.The guy next to me today was hilarious - he was livid with the ref's lack of bookings, our crap short-corners, and GKN.
I fear for his health come the Villa as to get that worked up over a friendly...
I've not seen anything of the game, but from what I am reading on here I fear it is going to be a very long season. I really hope I am wrong, but I can't see any positive improvement on last season team. Where are our much needed and promised new signings? We need about 4. . There won't be enough time to bed in any new signings, the season starts next week and Villa will be well up for it. I don't want our first game to be a defeat to a newly promoted team. I think there is total disarray behind the scenes but I hope I am completely wrong. I hate being negative, but we do have beer glasses that fill up from the bottom and I wouldn't be surprised if Prince William gets a ticketIf only Sissoko didn't have two left feet.
Well I lost a lot of interest in that match. The second half was so boring that I went for a piss just as something to do. Poch is fine.I could be totally wrong with this observation, but interested to see what others think.
Anyone else get an impression that Poch could be losing a small bit of interest? Not only this game, but in pretty much all pre season games on the line to me he has just looked almost like he couldn't really give a shit. Just really subdued.
Coupled with his very prickly pressers etc and it really is hard to shake the feeling this is very probably his last season with us.
I honestly feel he has nothing more to give and is a poor player. The sooner we can get rid of him the better. I'd rather give some academy kid a chance.Feel bad for N'koudou - I feel he has more to give. I was at the game and saw him looking a bit dejected being made to warm up on the sidelines with the academy team. He looked a bit lonely and lost. We should try and get behind him a bit more, I felt like a lot of the fans near me didn't even know who this dude was.
YES. It's way too loud. Even my old man - who I swear is fucking deaf at the best of times! - complained about it. The constant pre kick-off crap music really pisses me off - it should be muted 10 mins before to allow a bit of atmosphere to build and away fan batter.And my final gripe is that the PA generally is too loud. Why does it have to be necessary to shout at your companion, just to be heard?
Completely agree about 'neck oil', seen so many posts about how it's a great beer, tastes like piss to me.On the plus side I can confirm the stadium is incredible. Shame they ran out of burgers.
Beavertown Neck Oil is overrated.
Yeah I very much prefer Poch's style.Couldn’t see Poch from where I was sat.
I only saw Pochettino get up once in the technical area. Conte was there the whole time screaming, complete contrast in styles
Me too Pochettino is absolute classYeah I very much prefer Poch's style.
Who said anything about him getting angry?I've a very firm grip thanks.Poch out because he didn't get angry about drawing with Inter in a friendly. Get a grip fella.
Hope you're right buddy. Probably are tbf, I was just making an observation.Well I lost a lot of interest in that match. The second half was so boring that I went for a piss just as something to do. Poch is fine.
It's like being at the nightmare pop concert you'd never pay to go to and there's no escape from it, whichever way you turn.YES. It's way too loud. Even my old man - who I swear is fucking deaf at the best of times! - complained about it. The constant pre kick-off crap music really pisses me off - it should be muted 10 mins before to allow a bit of atmosphere to build and away fan batter.
Really? We decided yesterday it was because my mate Pat was going and his time keeping is atrocious...That's correct. All the ICC games this year have advertised themselves as 3pm but are actualy 3.06PM, or 8pm but actually 8.06pm etc, so that TV viewers tune in for 3pm and get inaundated with adverts before the game.
You misread it. It said "will work for signings"Yeah, did you not see him holding up the "Will work for food" sign?
