    Can't help but be disappointed by our preseason schedule.

    One year, the club will fulfill my dream of playing a preseason game against Clwb Pêl Droed Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch FC.

    Alas, it is not to be this year.

    Apparently the pilot is a chap called Kev, who works on a fruit stall, and isn't allowed to fly for commercial gain or after dark. He thinks he knows the way ("Hit Germany, then turn right"). Gino just doubled the club's insurance cover and bought some property in Monaco and Florida.

    Seems you have to be a leading vexillologist to have a clue what’s happening in our club these days.

    Geographically, it would be turn left.

    Correct. Other than the fact it would be right.

    Ah.

    You’re taking the London - Bamako - Munich routing.

    [Pause whilst exits room. Returns after a brief interlude.]

    Having taken leisure to consult a map, it is virtually a straight line from London to Stuttgart to Munich to Austria.

    No need for an untimely overflying of Dresden &, as noted above, pretty much a left from Germany.

    Interesting that Harry Forster has gone on the tour - could we finally be seeing another of our academy players making the step up?



    And can anyone tell if it's Crichlow in the back left at 3:14?

    Agreed. Straight line.
    I was working on the basis it's south of Germany and as any good navigator knows, north is left from UK, South is right, when heading to Europe.

    I rate him and think he did well at his age in his first season.

    If he was a homegrown academy player, we’d all have high hopes for him.

    Left back is always tough.

    The reputation for being the worst player in the team & playing right next to the 1881 Ultras.

    He's 25 - hardly a prospect, he should be in his prime.

    He's a dud.
     
  21. The undeniable truth

    The undeniable truth First Team Captain

    Yes though only on his shooting ability rather than his ability to defend.

    Extensive footage of Sema in the videos as well - doesn't mean they're both not good enough.

    I suspect there is also the fear of playing well, and taking Holebas's place, with all the violent abuse that would bring. Easier to just play a bit meh and not have to incur his wrath.

    Maybe simply violence.

    Do you remember Josie's review of fan tweets before the Cup Final?

    Cold dead eyes of a killer.

    The Ajax friendly is showing up on my ESPN schedule, so it looks as though there will be streams available for those who wish to enjoy pre-season action.

    Kevin Affleck must be truly untalented at every possible skill imaginable if he one day woke up and thought “ I think I’ll be a writer because it’s the one thing that I’m truly good at”
     
  27. BigRossLittleRoss

    BigRossLittleRoss First Team

    Yeah , I have high hopes for him too .

    He just needs to improve his
    1-1 defending,
    positioning in the box ,
    defending crosses ,
    dribbling ability ,
    crossing
    and all round game

    ....and then we ll have one hell of a 25 year old youth full back.

    Jeez, cringey lame All Hertfordshire records being broken by Kevin this week.

    We are not 10 yo.

    We are not needy United Korean fanboys.

    We want reassurance the good players are still there/the **** ones have gone/we’ll not get relegated.

    The Ajax game is at 5pm UK time tomorrow.

    Hopefully there'll be some water running somewhere.

    It’s on ESPN’s streaming platform over here, so there will be running water available.
