ronniescu 2,970 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Brenda saying, "No fear. No excuses." Then he goes on to list the excuses :- Long flight, plastic pitch, the heat, injuries & the opponents are well into their season. He became a laughing stock in England with the pish he used to spout, when trying to justify himself & his crappy team. He's just carrying it on up here. Fingers cossed he's struggling to justify himself in a couple of hours time. Mon the Astana. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gandalf the Blue 1,384 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 They've added Toure to the Champions League squad. I thought they were holding out for someone else, some big signing? Just saw their game is at 3pm. Hopefully they can cheer me up during this shift. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supersonic 4,654 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 “In terms of Efe, I think everyone has seen and people have seen him a lot more than I have, and he knows that if he can cut out mistakes or errors he makes in games then you’ve got a very good player” he said. “Physically he’s very strong, he’s fast, he’s good in the air, it just about decision making and simplifying the game. If he can do that, he can be an asset”. Nae bother Brenda Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misteral 2,932 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Will break the habit of a life time and watch the FC Astana game today just to have a proper look at their opposition. I'm really not sure what to expect. Hopefully they will embarrass themselves. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a long flight to Charleston The heat was around 30+ constantly Granted we didn't have any injuries bar Crooks, but we did have players who couldn't play like Barton, Rossiter and so on. and Battery played us in the middle of the week when they had a game the saturday before and another the saturday coming up. Pish excuses and yet they get away with it. But the moment Mr Warburton voices concern it's "what a whiner" or it's painted in a bad light. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fucking daft Brenda isn't talking about the game itself, he's setting up excuses so that if he fails it. On the subject of the stadium locations themselves, they are similar in that there long distances and the heat is different. I'm not talking about the opposition or nature of the game. Just purely the location and setting as well as the traveling to it. With a bit of the squads talked about as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of the same spending hopefully. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
