Much as I thought Igor was stupid to get involved, it’ll almost be worth it if the audio shows Atwell couldn’t even follow the laws distinguishing cause and consequence… and that Oliver was too spineless to back his own view on the difference.
Thiago puts his forearm in the bloke’s face. If it’s the other way round we’d expect a red card all day long.
KLP should be let off because he’s in the wrong “but others do it”?. If it’s the other way round I’d want a pen.
Take off your victim...
The victim mentality on here is ridiculous. Thiago doesn’t have to do that. KLP doesn’t have to do that. It’s crap behaviour from our players, simple as that.
Thanks for posting. Really interesting. Bonkers to have centre backs running all over the pitch man-marking imho. Sunday looks tailor-made for Sangaré. There will certainly be some miles covered!
To quote Mark Knopfler: "Oh yeah, the boy can play". Proper baller who reads the game so well - clearly has a quick football brain (and feet) that gives him that extra time and space. When he’s at the top of his game he’s just an island of calm.
We’re good when we play a really high-intensity style that requires literally all the outfield players to be 8+/10. That’s a huge ask, but when it works it’s exhilarating - Spurs, the first half at Leeds, etc.
More than most PL teams we’re a...
People joke about the famous ND test, but it really is the opposite. Every time you see a Bees player interviewed (Ajer and Fabio in the summer spring immediately to mind), you just think "What a likeable chap." Keano joins a long list.... and...
It really is as simple as that. Ordinarily I’d be spitting blood, but we were so good and Brooks was so laughably incompetent that you can only kick the cat and have another beer. I hate to think how Keith must feel after witnessing that...
The incredibly supportive Dutch Bees are bringing over 19 for the game from Holland, and find themselves 1 ticket short after double-checking headcount. If anyone's suddenly unable to attend would you PM me for a very good cause!
The Bank of England has chosen the Bees to feature on the next generation of banknote:

Nothing really new in this FT 'exclusive', but nice to know HMRC has had City under the microscope for a while:

I think you're being incredibly charitable towards City TBH. For a decade, over 60% of their supposed income came from sham "revenue" (the dark blue in this chart). It's not as if it happened in the early days and then stopped: every single...
