1)it’s very easy to drive to and easy to find . Can drive there in 3 hours . Getting out took about an hour but when you park a 10 min walk away with a crowed of 20000 what do you expect.
2)We are so lucky so have a found in the city - I’d hate to have a ground like , stoke, Brighton Reading etc . It would ruin the whole enjoyment of going to football .
3)Yesterday was the quietest I’ve know stokes ground ( what ever it’s called now ) . It’s ironic that the season they extended the ground they got relegated and never been back to top flight football .
4)A sold Saints performance sbd it’s no coincidence in my opinion we look a lot better with a talkative keeper playing behind a sold back 4 . Say what you like about Stephen’s but he’s our 2nd best CB
5)This division is very poor and its total miss management from Dragan down that we aren’t in the play-offs at least .
Both came on as a sub with 10 minutes to go yesterday, both covered roughly the same distance
Alcaraz stats were
Fouls won 1 Passes 7 Pass accuracy 100% Tackles 1 Tackles won 100%
Dibling didn't appear to actually touch the ball let alone pass it or make a tackle, in the bit I saw he seemed lost, wasn't sure where to be or what to do.
I think that he has the ability to be a top player, but he is struggling at Everton, the pressure is on him there, ( No disrespect to Everton here)he would have been better staying at Southampton or going to a Premier League club where he would get more game time and have time to develop.
A few year ago he left Saints for Chelsea and returned realising it wasn't right for him, he put career development before money, when he left Saints for the second time he put money before career development.
Again no disrespect to Everton , they paid a lot of money for potential, but Dibling hasn't got the mental strength yet, to make it at the top or to be playing in a team where the pressure is on to perform.
Its a bit late now, but I think the best thing for him would be to go out on loan to either a Premier League club where the pressure is not so big, dare I say Bournemouth, Brentford or Sunderland, or a Championship club.
He is a player who needs to be nurtured and his confidence built, 10 minutes or so at Everton is not going to do that, you can see he is drained.
If he was loaned out he might get his mojo back and Everton might just start to get value for money next season as he starts to realise his potential.
I know what Solent Toffee has said about buying potential, but Everton don't spend £40 million to buy potential, thats the case for most clubs in the Premier League, you are paying that much money to get someone who can make a contribution, you pay £15-20 million for potential and not potential in two years time.
Showing my age now. As I wrote on a previous post about songs which summed up your teenage years. I thought what and when did you buy your first vinyl ?? As I’ve said for me was New Rose by The Damned and either Give ‘Em Enough Rope by The Clash or Requiem by Killing Joke were my first albums. I think it was around 1980 as a 14 year old i started buying records. I would also say early Cure get a mention too.
January was the best month on this site in terms of visitors and page hits, since January 2018, that 8 years ago and was a very controversial time as it saw the departure of Virgil Van Djyk.
Hopefully this trend will continue, so could I ask you all to like and share this site on social media Facebook etc.
Once again thanks to you all I can't believe that this year the online Ugly Inside will have been going 26 years and overall April will see the 38th anniversary of the first paper copy coming out
Tonda Eckert asked if he expects anyone to come in before the transfer deadline: "Yes."
Asked if there will be many: "No, I don't think the squad needs too much. The squad doesn't need to be as big as it was at the beginning of the season."
and fellows on the wing, who would have thought it Simple game football, if we keep picking our best players in the proper formation we can get in the play offs.
GiveMeSport have put out two lists of what they think are our greatest players and greatest Academy players - what do you think? Anyone missing? Anyone who should not be there? Bale a higher rated Academy product than Le Tiss?
I loved that formation today. Two defensive midfielders, Jander and Downes protected the defence. Koeman used to play Shneiderlin and Wanyama as defensive midfielders and it worked a treat. With this, we also played Azaz, Fellows (not as a wing back today), Sciensa and the big striker up front all together. It was great, full of forward play and attacking threat with the defence protected by the defensive midfielders. A lot of work to.do though to make the play offs.

"He was supposed to be starting, he was training yesterday and got a knock in training, so we had to take him off. He'd had a good training week until yesterday afternoon."
