Middlesbrough game with 8K, though Schmeichel saved his blushes that night.

Thick as mince

Cannon had a decent one but never beating many of the shouts in here.

My partner wanted to buy a football shirt as a present for visiting her young overseas nephew who doesn't follow any team in particular, certainly not an English one. I found out she was looking at Man City shirts for him (which arguably makes some sense with them being our local team). Of course I complained & convinced her that if she was getting any football shirt, it had to be for us. Then we checked the site & ours was £40+ - for a kid! While the latest MCFC shirt was available for around £17 at the time. When the obvious question "why would I spend over £40 for this second division team when I can get the latest Man City one for less than half the price?" arose, I had no answer to that. For a reasonable price, I would've just bought the LCFC one myself. So that business was lost, who knows perhaps along with any possible affiliation to the club. Just one example where squeezing fans above everything else doesn't even make sense from a revenue perspective, let alone a moral one. Another is the approach to memberships & match tickets.

Had the Kop on strings with his celebration against us a few months before he signed. Still one of my favourite LCFC players. A key part of a genuinely likeable & quality team.

Emailed the club this morning to give positive feedback on the goal music. I've complained about plenty from them (justifiably) over the years, so it's only fair to acknowledge when things move towards a positive step in the right direction. Nice to not have it sour a potentially big moment for the season. Thought Wonderwall at FT was enjoyable, primarily because it was KDH who scored the goals to win an important match. Though I'd like to think they decided to play it in that context and haven't just taken a decision to play it continuously in future because they see it works at Man City, like they did with Sweet Caroline after the Euro's.

Nothing interesting apart from meeting O'Neil & Muzzy in a Madrid restaurant after Atletico away. Really sound people. Coming back from Thessaloniki airport on Monday I did a double take in the passport queue seeing Nuge standing right in front of me with his family. He was also at the other end in Manchester stood about a metre away from the baggage belts & had to do some weird manoeuvre to avoid being hit in the bollocks by an old guy collecting his suitcase right in front of him.

This would be the best. Problem is not many English words fit well with Ciao to make it work.

The fact that these clowns remain in charge with zero scrutiny following an avoidable, abject and pathetic fall from our clubs strongest ever position made this ST renewal the most difficult one for quite some time. How bad does it need to get in the coming years before they either walk or are hounded out?

Absolutely. The epitome of the type of fan complicit in our demise who is always happy to settle for less. Edit: Just realised that this specific incident is when a woman was holding up a Rodgers out banner and the people being labelled as sensible are the ones who abused and spat at her. Jesus wept.

Not to mention the inevitable Super League, All Stars, Draft Pick or other repulsive ideas which they'd likely want to introduce in our clubs name.

It put a big dampener on Wolves especially for me. Excellent atmosphere, club finally feels united again after a real slog of a season (and longer), late winner resulting huge collective release of pent up frustration for the first home win in about 6 months. What do they do at full time? Chuck that tacky music on at full time at ridiculous volume again to completely dilute what should’ve been a great moment for the fan base and players. It’s essentially the exact opposite of what that moment and similar ones alike require. Get rid of it and if the people who make the decisions won’t do so, get rid of them too.

Possibly Bolton? Think that happened in 2 matches vs them in 2013.
