Obviously delighted with a point. Was convinced Bowen would bury that.
However, we need to be more ruthless. They were there for the taking and until the subs in the second half we were on top. Smyth and Kolli were both excellent but once they went off the game changed. Vale is the most frustrating player we have at the moment - like night and day in terms of contribution compared with Smyth, while Kone needs to use his strength more. That time he was shoulder barged off the ball was pretty bad.
Great as Lamptey was against Cardiff (?), the gamble looks worse with every game.
Overall though, got to be happy with that point, courtesy of our wonderful keeper. Now let's be ruthless on Wednesday and back this result up. |

I struggle to predict we will lose a game that I will be at (arguably why I'm crap at the predictions on here). Wish I could be objective but at a game you're actually attending you always have hope. Think we need to score first to get anything though. |

Yes, it's ridiculous. I suppose they think they've punished the club enough already. [Post edited 7 Oct 16:49]

Maya is obviously stunning. I don't watch stuff like Love Island but my wife watches this so watched it last week and she came across very well.
They will kick off Richard E Grant, which will make the programme itself far less entertaining. Grant Mitchell is good value too. [Post edited 7 Oct 16:51]

I should add the experience of the queuing, etc. probably depends on what time/day you are going - I saw on Twitter that they turned people with tickets away yesterday because of a private function,which seems pretty mad, but it was probably someone important like the Man City chairman or the Joker.
We were taken in at the time we were allocated (1.20pm) but definitely didn't get to the actual tapestry until at least 2pm - during that time we saw the introductory videos and then queued for a while inside as people were already viewing the tapestry.
One final thing - the staff say you can overtake people and then go back and see bits you have missed but this is patently untrue and no one took it on board. Just keep shuffling along.
We were fortunate to be behind two people who were going quite slowly so we could just blame them for our slovenly pace.
The exhibition book is great too as it allows you to pore over the extra detail and historical context afterwards in your own time. [Post edited 1 Oct 15:50]

Unsurprising, particularly when you have the unelected PM defending them. |

We went on Sunday. Before you go in they say you will only be in there for 40 minutes but we stayed for nearly two hours (including queuing). The staff continually tell people to keep moving, fill any gaps, etc. but people generally ignore them and go at their own pace. We definitely had enough time to see every panel properly.
They have designed it really well inside and the atmosphere, videos and way in which it is presented is great.
Fortunately, they have prohibited photographs but inevitably there was one idiot who was still taking photographs before we got to the main tapestry. Unfortunately, they didn't taser them. |

This is the thing. Someone said Chelsea got a light punishment because they admitted it but the whole thing is a joke. The integrity of the competition is completely gone - we have rules but you can break them and win multiple titles.
Unless City receive a serious punishment, it's a busted flush. |

Quite a lot of conspiracy theories on Twitter about us throwing the game. Clearly, they've never seen us play. |

They should be relegated, ideally to the National League, but we know that's not happening. |

An obvious example is what would happen if a cartoonist published a caricature of Muhammad...

Biggest problem is up front at the moment - two out of five strikers in the squad on Saturday. Imagine this team with Nahki up front. |

I was planning to take my wife to Lincoln away but it looks like she'll be going to the cathedral instead if they limit it to one ticket per person (which is absolutely fair). |
