Agree with all of that Mod except 'the very strong premiership team' bit. They've got the stench of relegation. They narrowly beat our injury-hit squad. They've got some pace up front but that's about it. Their defence looks lower half Champ. |

Also just back eventually (my Elizabeth line tactic from Acton main line backfired spectacularly when trains were suspended on way back at Paddington).
Heroic defending but we had little midfield presence really. It felt like we were playing a top 6 Championship side. Those injuries last week hurt deep...first time this season we didn't have a strong bench.
Thank the lord we don't have to play at that soulless wasteland of a stadium each week and i can understand why the Spam support is so muted, we'd be the same i reckon. And ffs...those bubble machines...wtaf...it was like being a Peppa Pigland.
We return to W12 with heads held high enough i reckon. |

Just heard on reasonably adequate authority that Ronnie went into the Saints dressing room this morning to say goodbye to the players. Dressed in a red traitors cloak. |

Someone just told me that premier league teams at home have VAR in the cup but that can't be right that some matches are VAR and some aren't?...bloody hope not. |

Kolli made a right tit out of me. I was moaning about him to those around me about how labouring/lazy he looked and then he does that. Thanks a lot mate. |

What i don't understand is why Smythy is targeted at all. A more likeable, committed, club-loving player you'd struggle to find. Is he world class, no, but noone is in this league. |

I said to young Crowe when i saw the line up, that it was team picked to try and ensure a couple of wins at home on 1 and 4 Jan. Felt like yesterday's team selection was purely about saving legs for those games and if we should chance on a point or three then that's a bonus. |

As a fairly seasoned business traveller, BA has been diminishing as a product for years now. To be honest, as long the flight is on time i don't really care on short haul. Even the Avios programme which has kept me in 'free' flights for years has been devalued.
But they're still better than easyjet, ryanair and charter flights on short haul. And worse than most (except US carriers) on long haul. |

As McGrath was saying on TMS this morning, Bazball should only be applied to the second innings. i think i agree. |

A decent point at a tough ground on the day of the year we usually lose on....i would've taken a point before KO and i'll sure as hell take it today, as i will at West Brom. Win your home games and get what you can on the road, that's what will keep us in an around the playoffs. |

Reply | Things I am worse at than wrapping Christmas presents
at 19:42 23 Dec 2025
I hear you brother. If that wasn't bad enough Mrs Crowe insists on stocking presents being wrapped too....is that a real thing....certainly didn't happen on my parents' watch.
I'm also terrible at setting up new tech electronics (eg. new TVs)...just don't have the patience.
Quite good at ironing though. |

Heard good things about The Brook Green Hotel on Shepherds Bush Road. 10-15 minute walk to the ground. Close to Hammersmith Underground station for quick trains into central London sightseeing/shopping etc. c.£100 a night for a room if you book early enough i think. |

It's a great question from the OP. Love Chair to bits but he's not an auto starter for me....depends on the oppo. If we're going for blitzkreig then probably not as i think he has a tendency to slow the game down. But he's a super important player for unlocking a tight defence in a tight match. As i said, a great question and one we've also been debating in the Crowes nest. |
