@Nocturama that was the first thing I read when I came back on and thought "wow, that really aged well didnt it" haha
Even though we won 4-1 last night, those comments would not describe that performance either. Yes we played well, but we should have stuck a cricket score on them like Liverpool did us

@Nocturama Cheers for that! Just need the Mackems to do the same mid week!

@Steve said in Football (Soccer):
@scooter but on a positive note, Arsenal showed passion getting back from 2-0 down, keeping on going till the end!
With the lack of TV coverage I get here, I haven't had much opportunity to see Arsenal play. I have managed to catch two matches, though. They are definitely fun to watch. They seem to have rebounded quite nicely, from the troubles they had in early February. April looks to be a good test for them, as well. If they manage to keep their composure, they may very well outlast City.
Regardless of how they finish, as young as that club is, I think they'll be a force to reckon with, for the foreseeable future... -
@AdamJ - you know that the director of our club is a fan first and foremost when he does this in the official match day programme…
-
@Nocturama OMG - this is too good.
-
Think we got away with one there @IH-GARY - can’t say either team deserved a victory, especially given the limited number of shots on target. Your build up play was top class.
-
@Nocturama that penalty makes up for the dodgy decision against Sunderland!
-
@AdamJ - I thought the same. We’ve been on the wrong end of a few decisions this season…
-
Chuffed - a lad I coached (albeit, relatively briefly) made his professional debut in the EFL yesterday, aged 17.
Luton v Sunderland in the playoffs @AdamJ @Crispy-Heron 🫣

@Nocturama @AdamJ - looks like we are peaking at the right time…
-
@Nocturama that's awesome, for which team?
@Crispy-Heron congratulations, I had the Millwall game on, they cruised the first half then completely lost it in the second! Not sure I am looking forward to facing Amad Diallo over two legs
The devil is in the detail..

@AdamJ - Cheltenham Town (League One).
I volunteered as a coach within the CTFC Development Centre, as my son was there at the time. We had this lad with us for a season or so before the Academy took him on.
Great days. We played in the Junior Premier League and came up against teams associated with the likes of Arsenal, Reading, Wolves, Leicester, West Brom, Aston Villa, Birmingham, Coventry, Swindon, Torquay - the one regret being that we never got to play against a Luton side.
Knew it was time to give up when we started to find opposition coaches were ex-pro’s doing their UEFA badges - my football knowledge and qualifications were okay, but not really comparable, being just a “volunteer Dad”!
-
@AdamJ @Nocturama - well done to Luton for their play-off success over us. Good luck for Wembley.
-
@Crispy-Heron Thanks mate. Great tie over two legs. Was a tough watch yesterday, even more nervous about Wembley now!
-
@AdamJ - whoever you play I will end up rooting for you. If it is Boro, well I need say little more. If it is Coventry, well they are cheats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coventry_City_2–2_Bristol_City_(1977)

Thanks @Crispy-Heron. Still can’t quite believe we are 90 (ish) minutes from the Premier League.
Think we will struggle if it came to pass, but the money would certainly help build the new stadium and regenerate the infrastructure of the club for years to come.
