    What a start to a season. Very good win against Port Vale in some cup match with a strange name, but any win is good all players ran for the ball and defended each other if things got a bit fractious.MOT

    Well done Terriers! Great highlights on MOTD - a superb start to the season.

    My Premier Division newbies, the Seagulls, had a tough time with Man City but they (City!) are tipped to win the league so not such a bad result all in all.

    I believe that you meant that sincerely Steve and I wish your lot a good season too. I've just read today that Burnley are bidding for Chris Wood so I hope you've got another goal scorer up your sleeves.

    Spriddler the Terriers had a far easier first game than the Seagulls so I wouldn't be too disheartened. 

    I'm looking forward to our first home game on Sunday against the Toon. The stadium is sold out and all the work required to meet Premier League and Sky TV conditions should be completed. All the best for the new season your club and supporters are always well respected up here in't North.

    Looks like he's on his way to Burnley Steve. A rumour going round DATM ( Town fans forum) is that your lot are interested in Nakhi Wells.

    Yes papgeno, they're finding it tough. Our hitherto dependable defence is struggling with the speed and reactions of Premier strikers and wing-backs.

    Even so, last season in t' Championship they had an average gate of 28,000 at home which was more than 7 teams in the Premiership. Poor Bournemouth had only 10,000 at home yesterday (about their average gate) and Burnley only 19k. Still, in t' Premiership it's T.V. and sponsorship deals that bring in the dosh, not punters' gate money.

    Your Terriers were also averaging over 20k last season which was more than 5 of the Premiership teams. Good luck this afternoon against Toon!

    Long may it last.

    Our gate yesterday was one person short of the record which was set last season in the cup against Man City.

    The place was buzzing and I've never heard so much noise in the ground. Unfortunately some of the bar code readers which are used to scan tickets weren't working and some of those that worked were slower than this forum, yes that slow! So some pretty big queues built up particularly with those who always leave it to the last minute.

    The match was tight and settled by a cracking goal. 

    Rotherham on Wednesday and Southampton on Saturday, can't wait.

    Phew, I can come out of hiding at last! wink

    After a bit of a dodgy start, Rovers have finally found their feet with 3 good wins in 8 days, including away at Fulham in whatever the League Cup is called these days. Looks like Darrell has made some good additions to the squad over summer so things are looking good at the moment ( possibly until Tuesday anyway!)

    My team, Man City have 7 points now, but performances have been underwhelming to say the least.

    Liverpool next game, always a tough one, then Feyenoord away. We're hoping to get tickets for that one, already booked the ferry from Hull to Rotterdam and camp site at Delftse for 5 nights, might as well make the most of it 😊

    Cracking match today. Town could have gone in at halftime 4 up and Southampton could have won late on. As Herr Wagner would say we seem  to be a competitor at the moment. It's early days but 7 points and 3 clean sheets is a great start.

    A bit of a reality check last night. Their first goal was going well wide until it took a massive defection and looped in. Leicester City on Saturday UTT

    Great match, and a great result for City at Feyenoord last night.

    What a place! Didn't get back to the 'van till after midnight, but didn't care.

    Will try to post a photo, taken with the phone, and we were behind netting, so not very good.

    OH,  I  thought  it  was  a  grid,  as  an  aid  to  counting  the  attendance  !!  Pretty  darn  good  to  my  way  of  thinking,  better  than  the  view  I  had  from  'ere  in  Cheshire  wink

    Er,  you  weren't  a  bit  on  the  squiffy  side  were  you  Pliers  surprised ??

    I  think  the  Alex  start  is  similar  :--

    7  clean  sheets ( attacking  wise  )  and  3 games  earning  the  odd  point  or  two  frowncry.

    All  together  now  --  #  Happy  days  are  here  again  #

    Up  the  Alex  { well  they  couldn't  get  much  lower yell  }

     

    {  TO  grossly  mis-quote  Morcambe  &  Wise  --  they  are  the  same  numbers,  just  not  in  the  same  order    }

    Well,  Just  suffered  the  coverage  of  the  England  match  on  TV  with  Radio  Commentary ( I  DETEST  Tyldesly  & Hoddle  yellyell )  so  now  I  remember  why  I  follow  the  results  of  Poor  old  Crewe  Alex  --  at  least  they  try  to  go  forward.  Now  i'm  hoping  the  Russians  make  a  real   "Tra la la"  of  the  tournament  so  it  get's  cancelled  &  I've  got  no  excuse  to  give  in  and  start  watching/listening.

    Well,  Hells  Bells  &  little  Fishy  Fairies  what  a  surprise  at  Gresty Rd

    The  Alex  scored a  deserved  win  by  whipping  Stevenage  for  the  whole  of  the  match  &  scraped  a  jammy  goal  after  90 mins  + 4.

    Bet  Moulesy  is  happy  too,  yet  another  hard  fought  win  for  Bristol  R   !!  wink

    Thinking  of  silly  fantasyland,  did  anybody  watch  that  garbage  of  a  footy  match  on  T.V.  this  evening.

    If  so  how  appalling  did  you  think  it  was   ??

    Not seen much of Stoke this year tbh, i know you lost Arnautovic this year and he always impressed me and Berahino is having a mare, Leslie always gets his team well organised when facing us though.

    Good Heavens!

    What has happened to my photo of Feyenoord, it's changed just slightly 🤔

    Anyway, great game at City this afternoon, lots of goals again. Know from experience that it won't last, so enjoying it whilst it does.
