Not a fan of the yellow socks, should have been navy.

No! When Stevie Biggins looped the ball into the Man U goal, it was in yellow socks...

Yes but when Joey scored the goal of the 90’s against Blackpool on 16th April, 1996, he was in navy socks…

‘Friendly is boring’ shock claim

 

[Leysboy]

Not worried about results. It’s more about the manner of the performances and getting minutes in to the legs.

Friendlies for me are for players to get fit and up to speed and for parents to take new young ones to their first game to get them used to what it is like visiting a ‘big’ stadium.

He wanted to be in yellow though

1-1, a good point under our belt in the UEFA Championship League - let's go for three points on Saturday

I doff my cap to you Steve.

That is possibly the weirdest thing I've ever read on this forum.

Wow, that is some achievement on here too!!

I knew what I meant anyway

Seems like it was a decent run-out, and not a terrible result against a side that very nearly stayed in La Liga last year.

Now let's hope we have a few more back (and no new niggles picked up) for Saturday.

Fair, welcome Levi!

Levi Smans

His head in his hands

His father isn’t his agent. Also doesn’t look like his father.

You don't know his father or agent

Social media is a wonderful thing my friend

Smans is represented by Forza sports group and there is no one with the surname Smans, listed on the agent list (assuming his father’s surname is Smans). He also posted a picture with both his parents, on Instagram and his father looks nothing like the man in the picture.

I hate to go all Sherlock Holmes but I’m fed up of misinformation

 

[Steve Gilbert]

Where is this picture?!

 

[MJB]

I saw Negru driving out of the car park about ten minutes after full-time today. It means nothing, but I’ve got nowt else.

That would work well, except it's pronounced Smons.

That was a decent run out, I enjoyed that.

I thought Spencer was the highlight. Looked solid defensively and went past their left back a couple of times. Also did a good job when he moved inside.

Philips looks a different player - he was well up for it today and holds the ball up well in the 10 role. However, he doesn't offer enough creativity for me to be the main man in there.

I thought Dembele looked very dangerous too. I think he's going to have a big season.

I was abit disappointed with BDK actually - he gave the ball away too often for me and looked a bit flat footed. You can certainly see there's a player there though and confident he's going to be a big player this year.

We're just crying out for a striker aren't we. Mills got the ball into decent areas a few times but we just don't have anyone sharp attacking it. Hopefully that's where we make a statement signing as the rest of the team aren't a million miles off.

Hopefully Currie can replace the long through from Vaulkes as we were so dangerous from that last year.

Brannagan is still the main man.

 

[Eaststanding]

Decent shift put in tonight, BDK, Mills and Spencer stood out, we lost our way a bit when all the subs were on, to be expected though. I’d to see his starting eleven this Saturday, if he knows it of course.
