westlondonmist Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 27 minutes ago, SpiritOfTheForest said: Indeed. The difference that playing a squad with a core of Celtic players has been remarkable. If only we'd played this proper full strength squad rather than the previous incarnation full of English Championship players I imagine we'd be in a much better position. A point from the Slovakia game, all 3 against Lithuania at Hampden (and ideally us being able to hang on for those last couple of minutes against England) and things would be looking rather rosy. It's still doable but it's definitely not going to be easy. You can also see how well Griffiths, Brown, Forrest, Tierney and Armstrong knowing each other. Also must be a while since they have had 7 players in the starting XI who will be playing champions league football, and another was on the bench.

Daaaaaad! Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Great win tonight, but you're mad if you think you're selling me James Forrest as an international player on the back of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is gibbs any good? Not looking good for Brighton or Newcastle is it? Brighton need a striker and didnt sign one, might be the difference between stopping up or going down. Still moaning about Pulis?

The Brazilian Kenny Powers is coming back bitches. When Alvaro Morata is found dead from a cocaine overdose in a Turtle Beach condo, Diego is going to take over and lead us to the Carabao Cup final before pissing of to China. Chelsea fuck. You're going to ruin Ethan Ampadu. Anti-Welsh gobshite, you have nothing stallion. Going to send that young lad to Vitesse and deny him his shot. The new (dreadlocked) Bale.

Guy Bifkin Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I think Ampadu will become so touched by the African support on the Chelsea Facebook page he will choose to play for Ghana ahead of Wales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphy's a West Brom fan who goes to the games. Pulis is clearly a talented manager, but I don't envy him having to watch that side regularly.

I'm not so myopic I'd like someone just because they were born the right aide of the marches as me, that's what idiots do. I'd be worried far more about thinking that people from other nations would only like someone because they share a nationality. That's real chip on the shoulder stuff. I follow a shit team. Playing nice football is all well and good but results relative to the team are what's important. It's a side punching well above their weight, is WBA. Id be made up as a supporter.

ianmingo Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Ryan Giggs is the best Welsh player of all time.

Whilst this is a fair point if you are paying loads of money to watch your team play and feel like you are not progressing I can see why people would get annoyed. Although surely if you are a fan of WBA you have to wonder what are your exceptions for the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Is playing nicer football progressing? I'd see results and point as more important than how many passes get your team a goal. Id happily have Villa back up and having the experts hound them for being low entertainment but safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members I Bent My Wookie Posted September 2, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 2, 2017 Have to agree with Louch, I'd rather know that my team is playing good football if not entertaining but results are helping us progress as a side. Being a Hereford fan, for us right now its about getting back to the promise land of the football league after everything that happened. Fans can complain that because we have the biggest stadium and wage bill we should be winning games easily, playing entertaining football and making easy work of it all, but I'd rather we're continuing to be financially stable, bringing through some youth alongside some experience and while we may have won 8-0 today (keeper sent off in the first 5 minutes and no sub did help) the games we're winning 1-0 or even drawing are keeping us in contention to rise up the leagues, play solid football, gel as a team and not break the bank.

I'd be made up as a supporter but I wouldn't want to pay for a season ticket to watch dull football. I would still probably go and watch every now and again. Right now I have a season ticket to eighth tier side. They play well but still lose and it is frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted September 2, 2017 Author Moderators Share Posted September 2, 2017 What a way for Ben Woodburn to officially become ineligible for England. Was worried he'd get sniped at some point (see Hargreaves, Owen). MOM was Hal Robson Kanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daaaaaad! Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 Yeah, that shot he had when Bale was in acres of space at 90+2 was something special, as was his non-cross a minute later. Woodburn looks good. Always interesting to see what a 17 year old produces before they develop the fear that comes with experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
