Turned the TV off after the third goal. Was expecting even worse this morning.
Disgusting performance.🥶

It's that time of year again. The build up this week has been really interesting with some excellent interviews and press conferences. I have been watching for years and never realised untill Tiger said yesterday "It's a really tough and tiring walk. Basically you are playing on the side of a hill".!!
The competition starts on the back nine on Sunday was another thought that struck me.

Looked it to me. Not the pass for the goal but the initial pass, he looked way off. Having just seen on sky I still can’t decide if second pass fractionally off, first pass looked ok! In front of us in block 16 and everybody was screaming off side. Wondered if he wasa PL lino used to VAR? He flagged for everything after that.

40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.☔🌪️ Anybody in the squad with a long throw? Pre match I thought few of this squad and SS have never played at the 365 when the wind blows. They handled it really well. First half high balls over the top were stopping and dropping mid air. Created several awkward moments but unfortunately we never capitalised . The best game and crowd atmosphere I have seen for some time.🥳

Forecasting a full gale blowing straight through the two open corners and swirling around the ground. Could be a major factor ? Looks blowy doesn't it? 40 mph or so. It's the fag end of Storm Kathleen over Ireland I believe. 40 MPH is about 35 knots a full force 8 gale.☔🌪️

I recall a very windy mid week game in the PL. I did not bother going as I thought "They will never play in this, it will be postponed" Much tomy suprise they did play and I missed the match. The descission I would imagine is down to the officials.

I really don't care for any of them.
For the first time I am seriously considering voting for None of The Above.

Slightly off topic but did anyone hear the guy on P&G who phoned in from the pub in Leek? Comedy gold! It took me a short while to work out where he was sitting in the ground to watch the game. "The chap sitting in front of me with a pint of lager, and the lady drinking Gin and Tonic thought we were poor in the first half" 😊

Anybody fancy trying the job?
Two hours or more of total continuous Ad-libbing talk and remaining interesting and engaging in conversation is quite difficult.
The guy has improved and I have noticed that he is slowly becoming a Stoke fan using pronouns such as We etc.

Just been watching the Luton v Spurs game. Excellent drama, still 1_1
Should Luton get relegated, and retain their squad, they will walk the Championship.

It's a pity that some one like yourselves can not get into Ricardo's which would be a ideal experience for you.
If you are about maybe try and appeal to the ticket office. Early as possible on Sat morning I would suggest.
Having said that good old fashioned English pubs nearby are an experience worth having for visitors from the USA.😊
ENJOY.

At half time people were expressing concerns about the Referee but overall I thought he was quite good. Obviously a PL experienced official and far superior to some of the rubbish we have had to endure over the last few seasons.

Well many Inc myself were concerned at the starting eleven but that was excellent. MOM was Stevens for me.

Agree with everybody else a team picked with Monday in mind.
Hopefully Campbell has been told the facts of life and comes off the bench in the second half and earns his wages for a change.

The people who know all the answers are the pilots and the crew on the bridge.
I am sure they will have been lawyerd up and told to make little orno comment at this stage.
The costs will be astronomical. As well as the obvious losses shipping locked inside the harbour fully laden with millions of dollars of cargo will be loosing money and high daily costs if unable to leave.
Litigation could well go on for years.

The ships insurers, possibly UK based, will be panicking this morning.
Large commercial vessel's like this entering and leaving ports are required to be handled by a local pilot, he to is going to be very worried.
I would imagine there must have been engineering or steering problems.

Just been reading elsewhere that Arsenal have already earned in excess of £75 mil from their campaign so far in the Champion Lge alone.
The rich get richer and the poor_ you know the rest.

Following the accident yesterday Stafford was gridlocked all day causing complete havoc. NotHelped by diversions leading to roads closed for extensive roadworks.
