  2. It is actually quite refreshing to see a prediction that doesn't limit our ambition to 40 points/17th place.

    It was certainly nice to be back at the ground. Last season didn't really feel right.

    Watched the game on sky this morning. 3-2 really flattered Villa. Really good solid performance for 70 minutes. The only real downside apart from the stupid penalty for me was how ineffective Gosling was when he came on. We came under more and more pressure and he didn't provide anything like the support that Kucka did. Kucka would break up play and push forwards and when he went off we lost a lot of that.

    Still a nice win to start, we have a team with pace up front, something we didn't have much of in our relegation season. It's not going to be easy but there is hope.
     
  4. No use at all to me then.
     
  5. Much better behind a microphone.

    The only proper fight I got into at school was over a Debbie Harry poster

    He must have an uncle in Nigeria.
    We all do judging by the emails we receive from that Country.

    I think judging by the state of them when they left most things had probably passed them by

  14. Penn must be the Quakers. I thought Alabama U were the Crimson Tide (the film concerned the USS Alabama).

    I 'know' a fair amount from watching lacrosse, so it's mostly about being able to conjure them out of the ether at will or not - that being said:

    Dartmouth - Big Green
    Harvard - Crimson
    Penn - Quakers
    Yale Bulldogs
    Columbia - Lions
    Princeton - Tigers
    Cornell - Big Red
    Brown - Bears

    Bold for the ones left over/guess-apportioned

    I'm annoyed I didn't remember Tigers.

    Big Green is Dartmouth. Dont know the rest
     
  17. So Columbia are twinned with Millwall, Penn State with Darlington and Princeton with Hull then?

    This is a great poster. I wonder what she would have made of playing Strathclyde University and Dunstable in the same week.

    Fair enough you don't rate him, I wouldn't have him starting either ideally if we had better options. But yesterday he was fantastic, especially first half, and Chalobah has never put in a performance like that for us in the PL.

    They were still doing the rounds at unis in the 2000s. They performed live at my college's end of year celebration. Even in her 50s she still looked great, and they were excellent live.

    In what way was he "fantastic"? Genuine question. Worked hard as ever but gave the ball away repeatedly.

    I often go with a friend who is mostly very positive and it takes a lot for him to be "negative", and even he thought Cleverley was one of the few weak links yesterday.

    He did everything Kucka and Etebo did but they had great games? He only gave the ball away once more than Etebo, he won the ball back and he pressed the opposition. Without Kiko we had to have someone supporting Sarr on the right which he did superbly in the first half.

    You clearly don't like the guy and have your mind made up on him so it's a bit pointless discussing it.
     
  23. Any 50 y.o. still looks great to me to be fair.

    Hypnotise!

    Criticising our lovely Emma is off limits.

    Emma blinked her beautiful big brown eyes and smiled seductively all in the first 6 seconds. They draw you in to be under her spell..

    Her gorgeous tanned skin looks so soft and her lovely long brown hair is crying out to gently stroked.

    She is so professional in all she does and we hope her career really takes off so we have a Hornet fan at the top in the media.

    She also told me to tell you her legs aren’t bad either..

    Yes, when you think of Hull, you are immediately reminded of Princeton.

    Top marks.
    Most American College stadiums put our venues to shame. Well, most do.

    While most of us seem well aware Dennis had a great game, it turns out he was joint top for shots inside the box at 5, tied with Vardy and Calvert-Lewin. Given that Dennis came off early due to injury he might well have finished ahead of everyone else for the weekend if he was on the pitch for the whole game.

    How refreshing it is to have a forward who gets into the box!

    Quite a few of the Copa America players didn’t feature over the weekend eg Cavani .
