Be kind - if your brand is only posting when we lose, our season on season form improvements leaves you having to act like a draw is a war crime. Sad times
I really love Titus Andronicus, and their sophomore effort The Monitor is rough concept album about the American Civil War, contrasted with modern suburban ennui and how some of the conflicts remain unresolved. It absolutely bangs
Also recalled last night, late after the game in one of the breweries a very wide eyed young man in a Rangers scarf inserted himself into our conversation and his opening gambit was "I grew up on a council estate but now I part own QPR cos I made loads on crypto". Helluva drug eh
Someone near us lit up an absolutely dench bifta just before we scored, so we decided it was lucky and kept shouting "skin up, we need another!"
People were bringing beers back to the seat and our section was covered in a thick mist of fruit flavoured fog, which I mostly found endearing vs the unrelenting sniff
Look, I'm not a narc, I support decriminalisation, and I don't want to put a dampener on the day, but my word. The flagrant and open usage of gear at the game yesterday was jaw dropping.
And I work in advertising.
I went to the loo during the long injury break and was surprised to find the packed toilets were full of people not going for a wee, instead people openly snffing from bags
Saw 2 QPR fans fighting as we got in, both visibily charged up
Saw a few lads really looking quite worse for wear and in bad ways
Lads in front of us, oldest 18 max spent the whole first half ringing one of their Dads to come and meet them. Dad arrives and starts dishing out the packet onto their fists and they start sniffing in the stands and vaping relentlessly
I'm not an idiot. I know it's endemic in the UK and would the same in any away end, but the openness, brazenness and volume of consumption really caught me off guard yesterday.
I had a lovely day before and after first in Crate brewery, then after until closing in Howling Hops over at Hackney Wick. Feeling it today. Was surprised by how not that busy both were though.
The ground is trash though. It was great for the Olympics and Paralympics cos that's what it's there for. You're watching different things at different times around the stadium. And it wasn't designed for the massive pinch points you have in a shorter event like kick off, half time and full time.
Absolutely soul less though. Never seen so many make so little noise
I was on row 69 (nice) and in the second half I thought "I'll just piss myself if I need the loo again cos my hammies haven't got that in them"
I'm someone who hasn't seen the hype with Kolli, so fair play, he was excellent yesterday.
Don't really get the Kone slagging but to criticise him for yesterday seems strange, as he had a rough job for the team where he had to drop deep to link play to fix their defenders to give Kolli and Smyth space, and then get forward to do Burrel's pressing too.
I thought our forward press was excellent yesterday (,just a shame we often returned the ball so quickly) and Kone ran himself to dust executing it
He also scored, but I guess not in the right way? Bizarre take
It's not buy cheap sell high, it's about selling for more - and the prospect of that is much higher when the player is a) sub 23, b) an England U21 international and c) even if it's just once, has played in the Prem
Nothing is guaranteed in football, but the underlying case for this investment is rock solid
Madsen took a pretty clattering bang on the ankle vs Wednesday and was clearly instructed he had to keep playing. Didn't look comfortable at all for the rest of the game
Innit. People have had reservations with our fitness regime all season. I don't think it's outlandish for us to ask questions or raise eyebrows when a load of our players suffer a similar muscle injury.
I noted at the end of the window, our fittest & sharpest players seemed to be those who hadn't pre seasoned with us (Kone, Burrell, Saito). Interesting they're now injured or looking sluggish
