Sure we could, but as soon as we have to, it will get very nervy. I think u would prefer a controlled display and then go all guns blazing the last 20 if we're still not ahead on aggregate.

That's what we tried on Tuesday, we had just begun to turn the screw but then a brainfart was our undoing.

I think that approach at home would lead to it being more nervy. Hit them hard and fast, get the crowd going and blow them out of the water.

I am with 2 blues who never post anything anywhere and they read the thread over breakfast. ONE OF THEM HAS CLOSE TO CHOKED LAUGHING AT IT I KID YOU NOT!!!!!!!!!!! What a stadium BTW.


hopefully our top brass will also have been impressed and will look to make some upgrades at the etihad

Marseille style end of the ground should be our South stand mission. Add some cladding job done, funny how a modern stadium like our looks old v Spurs +acoustics are spot on. Not the shitty cladding.


On their stadium, my lad was on the city stadium tour a couple of weeks ago (company freebie) and the fella taking the tour had a chat with him as he was one of a handful of blues on the tour which had about 30 people. He told him he was booked on spurs 1st official stadium tour to see what they had and to do a comparison so we could get some new ideas and also see what they are offering. Also to see what we do better to promote ourselves.

So were just going to turn up press a button, switching on great form like a light switch and just smash them to pieces. Really where is this coming from?

Take yourself back to this time last season, we'd just been beaten three times in a row and faced a trip to Spurs in our next game, what happened? We ripped them apart, we turned on great form like a light switch.

I keep thinking about this time last year, the fucking coach smashing by the fucking murderers, the disastrous defeats to them and rags, please someone tell me history will not repeat itself. The guy on the butchers counter where I shop, is a dipper, taking the piss, saying Palace will beat us and dippers beat Chelsea. He can stick his fucking lamb chops up his arse, I will never go to his shop again if that happens :mrgreen:

12 months ago you say, that is a long time in football.
I would pay more attention to our recent form and performances rather than last season. Some of the games recently we haven't performed well but still managed to win. But that stumbling through games will not be good enough from here on in.

But I hope you are right I dearly would love us to 'turn it on' now at the right time. Because we will need to.

My point was that form can turn in the blink of an eye.

We could make a start by playing the right team.....that would help.

Well he can't play the same team for the next 4 games in a row. So there will have to be some small changes and tweeks. But please not wholesale changes like Tuesday. That just fucks everything up.

I agree. Put the game to bed in the first half. Blitz them.
