There's something odd with all this. Five people arrested for affray - presumably their identities will give the true story.
But alongside the incident is what seems a long running issue with fan groups using the incident as collateral to to try and escalate.
Idiotic behaviour whoever has done it.

They are simply the sort of decisions that managers make at every club. We dont necessarily agree but we arent unique in this, we just dont care what other clubs do.

And then waffled on after the game about it being a decision based on form, that James had missed so many games. BA lost the ball every time he won it on Sunday - if James form is worse than that then we have problems.

Making subs at the same time simply backs up the view that he has minimal in game management. Subs are there to manage games not to just put a fresh pair of legs on.

Strangely I'd forgotten about Gruev.
Ramazani was a stupid move before securing a replacement.

This supports your point later on in the thread I think as to how we spent money. We overpaid at the time for BA and DJ and whilst ever present last year, dont fit the physical needs of the PL.
JH - ever present at bottom of PL for 4 seasons - should be useful but seems a shadow of Bielsa version.

Its worth analysing that 120m because it held us back in the summer
Bought last failed PL and not physical enough for current PL
Aaronsson 28
Harrison 12
James 25
Players who might not play
Meslier 5
Piroe 12
These may be good enough
Rodon 12
Bogle 5
Gnonto 4
Ampadu 8
Not much to show for 120m

And injured on several occasions when he would have got a chance.
He needed this type of loan the season he was sat on the bench most of the time and unable to play U21 because of it. Good to see him in the goals.

If they are thinking about swapping Farke they must be decisive prior to the Jan window, otherwise we'll be in the same situation as when Marsch came in, that nobodywants to take over in Feb.
If Farke is in place at Xmas he gets the season, and he must get players in Jan.

Taken their chances.
Got goalscorers through the team.
Already had Isidor who is exactly what you need in PL.
We could easily be up near them with better concentration and quality at key moments.

We need an upgrade, a combo of BA and DJ that protects the ball and has an end product. Such a pity Buonanotte didnt come off, we would look a different team again.

Yep - think thats right. You can apply individually but then risk only getting one, or you can link family & friends together and apply as a group.
I go with my son, so its both of us or neither.

Dont think it allows you to apply twice - have you got 2 email confirmations?
If the application was completed it would show like this under 'Ballots' in your account

Or the 3 points we have lost in injury time v Fulham and Bournemouth. Would love to have seen us on 11 points in this table, but not to be. Cant moan about where we are though - just keep doing enough to stay round about middle and we'll be happy enough.

Yep, thats the correct way of looking at the rule. I think they might have 23 incl 6 home grown, then an U21?
