Incredible non-stop atmosphere from all sides last night as saw Flamengo beat Internacional 3-1. They look like champions.
The hazy smoke of BBQ, people congregating and drinking before the game was also memorable. We have so much to learn....

Hurst accidentally put his foot on the accelerator and now we need a stunt driver to stop it.

Brentfords crowd is approx 30% smaller than

Yet they play far better football than us,develop players that are sold for more than us and have finished ahead of us 3 times in their 4 Championship years.

Norwich have lived off good fortune since relegation in 2009, every single year the money was about to run out, they got out of jail.
Next season was always going to be a tipping point in the fortunes of both clubs, but

going up and them failing accelerates that massively.

Mick Mills got it spot on as usual.
We had two wingbacks playing who arent wingbacks and unsuited to it.
Huws isn't really a No.10, but like Downes and Skuse is more comfortable playing further back.
That leaves all attacking threat on two forwards lacking confidence

He is getting his seats moved to "safe seating" areas for upcoming games, plus something in...
When

scored their first goal last night, as some piled into aisle and bundled on each other, an older man, who was on the end of the row, was swept along with them into the aisle and at the bottom of the pile.

One other point on Saturday - pretty much the only misstep the entire club made was with the POTY awards.

Felt the scene after the game was quite emotional.
When they came over to the SBR stand, it didn't feel quite right to be applauding, didn't seem appropriate.
But as Lambert stood there, along with the players, it was impossible not to feel the connection

I'd be surprised if he isn't sold. Partly for his benefit, but mainly because the model is to buy young and sell at profit to allow us to reinvest within FFP rules.
A £20m sale would give us the headroom to make major additions.
My fear is the manager will join him at WHU

Garner and Waghorn were both bought without a clear strategy on how and where to play.
The former in particular never looked like he was suited to what we seemed to want from him.

Knew Lambert would go down the route of citing the players lost to injury, and there is a point there, but this has been going on way before we lost Jackson,Keane, Downes in the last couple of weeks.

Dont get the anxieties about the possession/dominance from Sunderland.
This is the 6th best team in the division, playing at home in front of 40k, in their opening game of the season.
They were always going to dominate the game.
We look so dangerous attacking. All good.

One other thing from today-PL showed how you play the "these players aren't good enough" card. You do it after you've spent 15 games trying to get a tune out of your inherited players.
You don't do it after only two games, having brought in half the players yourself (Hurst)

In the end,
#itfc
are offloading players that they haven't used and strengthen the position on those they do use.
That's positive really and very few of us, including press, have felt there was a huge need for additions.
Whether the players we've offloaded could do more, maybe.

How good was the penalty, seen from this view?
Even if the keeper went the right way, he isn't saving it.
Thought his interview afterwards showed how calm and confident he is, suspect he will be on them for a while

He also said that the £30m goalkeeper he had bought only the previous season actually wasnt up to it, so they went out and spent £50m on another one.

Ladapo had a really decent game, particularly when balls were played into feet.
It's no reflection on him, but within five minutes of seeing Hirst play, he immediately looked like he will be better fit for our style.
