I’ve always felt Parken is very similar to Villa Park. Went to the Danish Cup final one year, great day out.
I’ve always felt Parken is very similar to Villa Park. Went to the Danish Cup final one year, great day out.Maybe it's a bit of football burnout, there was a lot to digest during the first few weeks of the season with new team, transfer window, etc. There was also a carry on from summer (England). If I'm honest though I've had a proper football hangover since we lost Play off final. BUT... it's always more fun when you're winning and we have really been doing that since March.
I'm also based in Denmark, they love their football here and I often go to watch FC København as I live next to stadium and win/lose/draw you have a great experience (admittedly it helps that you can have a beer in the stands!). I've even started watch a few lower league games here.
thats the spiritBlimey. Shows how desperate things are when we get excited over 20 minutes our supposed best player appeared for. Fine until he's crocked again. Which will happen sooner rather than later.
The way he sets himself for the volley is fabulousHighlight for me in the Nations League was Dimarco's goal against France, like something the Brazil team of the 70's would score!
Thing of Beauty!
I’d say excellent quality for good with some potential to be excellentCan't say I'm very positive.
I think it's the realisation that we've sold the 3 highest quality players we have and bought in a lot of average quantity. Players that don't even bring much when they come on as subs.
It will be another season of valiantly falling short, then another summer of big squad upheaval. Which is why I doubt MR will get another crack at it and to be quite honest, maybe it will be best that someone else has a go.I am finding it hard to be positive. Not really because of our indifferent start, used to that, but the lack of strengthening in the window was hugely disappointing. Well, in areas we needed to strengthen. It seems our whole midfield is built on HOPING that Sheaf stays fit. Not good enough if we want to challenge for promotion. Yet another season of consolidation?

So who would you say are the 'good' quality Championship players we've bought in the last 2 seasons?I’d say excellent quality for good with some potential to be excellent

Haji and Sakamoto
Yeah, I'm the same.I am finding it hard to be positive. Not really because of our indifferent start, used to that, but the lack of strengthening in the window was hugely disappointing.

Definitely not Thomas, yet. I mean he can't even get a regular game here.Haji
Simms
Mve
Thomas
Saka
definitely
I have recently been watching football from the 1980s and 1990s on YouTube, up to Alex Ferguson's Man U at their best. Football now is absolutely shite compared to then . Now it's all about possession. Tippy tappy crap where no one dare shoot unless they're in the penalty box .In general, or just football-related?
Football-related, yes. Have done for a while; I don’t have the same love for the game that I had even 15 years ago.
This is where I’m at as well, i think we’re set for a very disappointing season.Can't say I'm very positive.

Is that a serious question? I’d say over the last two seasons the list is a long one. Dovin, Van Ewijk, Kitching, Wright, Simms, Sakamoto, Thomas-Asante, Binks, Rudoni. Some would make a case for Torp, Thomas, Bassette and Mason-Clarke. A team + 2 subs!So who would you say are the 'good' quality Championship players we've bought in the last 2 seasons?

I agree.Modern football is so boring,Could be my last season attending games and certainly cancelling Sky SportsI have recently been watching football from the 1980s and 1990s on YouTube, up to Alex Ferguson's Man U at their best. Football now is absolutely shite compared to then . Now it's all about possession. Tippy tappy crap where no one dare shoot unless they're in the penalty box .
And whatever happened to proper goalkicks? I cringe ever time we walk the ball out from a goalkick I know it's the modern way, but even in the Euros most teams didn't do it.
I'm with you. Football has gone.
Not too worried about City, but totally agree about how the game has got more boring to watch.
Feckin' Pep, and this obsession with possession at all costs that everyone is trying to play nowadays.
I hate, and I mean viscerally hate, inverted wingers and full backs who endlessly cut back inside when there's a chance to cross or drive it into the box. Then there's free kicks in the opposition half (and even corners), that end up back with our own keeper. Grrrrr....
And now there's the "taking one for the team" bollocks, where you're allowed to haul down a player breaking from midfield, without even a token attempt at playing the ball. When did that become acceptable?
Ah, you've got me started now, and it's not even eight o'clock. Thanks.

I'm over Luton, better side on the day and the team who finished third in the division in the end went up and I can't really argue with that - I certainly wasn't jealous of them when they were managing two wins after the turn of the year and getting pasted every other weekInteresting responses, I've nodded my head and agreed as I've read them.
Like many City fans I still haven't got over the two Wembley defeats in successive seasons and I can't seem to get past that.
That’s what VAR does, it lets people have the greatest feeling in football then takes it away because Alex Ferguson drew a line through Wan-Bissaka’s boot in a rush and decided by 0.1 mm that a player was offside.I'm over Luton, better side on the day and the team who finished third in the division in the end went up and I can't really argue with that - I certainly wasn't jealous of them when they were managing two wins after the turn of the year and getting pasted every other week
However part of my love for football as a sport was left at Wembley in April, I don't think I will ever get over that game unless we win a major trophy in my lifetime and the chances of that are very slim! I just haven't been as emotionally invested in football since that moment and I include being there in the flesh watching England lose the Euros final in that cause in my view it was a complete injustice
Funny isn't it, I went into the Man Utd game with the attitude of 'This is a complete free hit and primarily about the day out' and I left more gutted than I was after the play off final
My concern is that only Wright and MVE have shown consistency in form. Jury is still out on Dovin, BTA and Rudoni.Is that a serious question? I’d say over the last two seasons the list is a long one. Dovin, Van Ewijk, Kitching, Wright, Simms, Sakamoto, Thomas-Asante, Binks, Rudoni. Some would make a case for Torp, Thomas, Bassette and Mason-Clarke. A team + 2 subs!
I can get on board with VAR when perfectly good goal is going to be ruled out due to a bad decision, or vice versa - or if a side is denied a stonewall penalty or someone has blatantly divedThat’s what VAR does, it lets people have the greatest feeling in football then takes it away because Alex Ferguson drew a line through Wan-Bissaka’s boot in a rush and decided by 0.1 mm that a player was offside.
The officials in the ground thought it was a legit goal, it should have stood on that basis.
