The vocal support from the fans today was superb and long overdue at home.The chant of Mariners and Dave Artells black and white army started in the Upper and went all round the ground. Excellent support and DA acknowledged that in his interview I can't wait for him to hear a packed out BP baying at full volume and keep playing like that it won't be long. Thought we were magnificent from 1-11 but Eisa and Arthur out wide both linked superbly with there respective full backs and where key but Hunt and Glennon matched that.MOTM for me Rose great hold up and link play never stopped running.
It was mediocre at best, a quiet and disjointed Pontoon. The kids in the top corner with the drum sing everything lightning fast and insist on constantly singing that shite allez allez song. We've also gone for David Artells black and white army when you can't fit it in, needs to be Artells black and white army. There were just long periods of nothing in the atmosphere. It was noisy for about 5 minutes. Our home atmosphere is rank and has been for ages.

Glennon was off the chart today. He was relegated to a has-been under Hurst after being linked with championship clubs in the summer - he now looks like L2 could indeed be beneath him if he can play like that consistently.
Hunt makes the odd stray pass, but so what! He’s fantastic. I love the way Artell must be saying “keep trying those passes, kid”, whereas Hurst and Doig were clearly thinking “he just gave the ball away, he’s a liability!!”.
Today was great.
One gripe - 5200-ish? What the hell? We should have had 6500-7000 in today.
A bit harsh! Couple of weeks from Christmas, cost of living, bad weather, doubts of it being on till 1pm, I think that is decent crowd under the circumstances.

P.S. Only downer for me is we have a small cluster of 🛎️🔚’s in the Upper the consistently flick the V, hurl abuse & boo the away support when attendance is announced, barmy!
If a couple of rows of people flicking the Vs at the away fans on the other side of the ground puts a downer on your day, you maybe need to show a bit more resilience. Same for anyone clutching their pearls at someone wearing a bobble hat. Artell’s already said BP is too accommodating, too nice and wants the place to become difficult for opposing teams and (within reason) opposition fans. The man was invoking visions of Galatasaray last night! If the team and management are going to get on the front foot, the fans need to play their part and there’s nothing wrong with a bit of pantomime booing

Agree about the home atmosphere being crap for ages - and the shite generic songs all too fast.. but can’t for the life of me figure out why David Artells Black and White army doesn’t fit in when for years we had Alan Buckleys Black and White army???

It’s been a problem for ages with some of the crowd singing songs way too fast. The worst bit is they speed up too so nobody can keep up. Slow and steady for a decent period of time is what will get more people involved.

All very true but at the same time I'm just happy that our problems have gone from the entire summer recruitment not being good enough to the drummer/singing being too quick.

It was Dave Artell's black and white army to my ears, and it tracked well. It wasn't exactly a cauldron of noise yesterday, but it was much better than it has been and will get better still along with the team. It's a two way thing and the fans need to start trusting the team again.

I don't believe in any of those things you suggest. I do think Boris Johnson is the girl private of all girl privates.
Oh and I forgot, and the Left is anti-Semitic. Lots of baggage . PS I never knew that the replies get censored by others, and Private Parts comes on my page as the original. What nice well-educated person you are.

Yeah it's Dave Artell's Black and White Army Which fits better than using David. It was loud in the upper yesterday during that mid 2nd half period, although knowing how the noise gets lost from the upper it probably didn't carry that well to the rest of the ground.

I'm not even sure what you're on about. Your main concerns seem to be with things I haven't said. I'm not sure how saying I'm not keen on Boris Johnson has anything to do with anti semitism, hating women, hating the uk and hating the working class?
