The Blues Fans Podcast and Live Show
I wanted to get my article in early this week as things are changing by the second. I also wanted to wait until the Preston result was known. Things always seem different after a decent performance. Last week’s farce against Plymouth ignited the sudden movement against our owners. They and Boris Johnson will be vying for the “who’s going first trophy!”(Have a couple of quid on Boris).
This weekend, the team showed the pride and passion for the shirt that we had been missing. It was great to see that despite being 1 goal down, we didn’t give up and in the end got what was deserved.
After the unbelievable effort from the girls last week beating the gunners you thought we go into this game in confidence but yet again we look a lack of confidence after the first goal went in.
efore the Boss man of Tilton Talk show Craig Courtney, gets on the line and asks why am I suggesting the removal of Lee can I explain I am deliberately using the ‘eye catching’ headline that many of the bloggers and indeed major periodicals use. That is to show a tag line and have nothing in the article vaguely to do with that headline.
A new year means a fresh start after the disappointment losing to Leicester 2-0 in December and only having a one shot in a crucial game against are follow midland relegation rivals. 2022 could be a good year for blues women after a phenomenal effort from the girls in royal blue by beating a undefeated Arsenal side 2-0 and Jonas Eidevell and his side couldn’t have any complaints about the result.
It raised a few eyebrows when Lee Bowyer placed his most experienced defender and club captain Harley Dean, on the Transfer list. I questioned the timing when we then took a gubbing at Blackburn. Inevitably we lost Roberts and Graham through injury and then surprisingly Dion Sanderson got recalled to Wolves. After a Covid break saved us from further punishment over Christmas we found ourselves taking on a useful QPR side with two 17-year-olds starting and a 16 and 18-year-old on the bench.
At the beginning of December we asked for your feedback on the show, Thanks to all of you who replied. We have now reviewed the feedback and will be looking to start the year with some new items.
we had a foot of snow for 13 days. No football, no racing so this sports fanatic never went past the front door. I probably went on a five-day, daylight sleep cycle so could watch the Ashes. The irony of that, I am sure won’t be lost after this year’s England’s debacle.
As we approach the end of 2021 I wanted to look back on a great year for Tilton Talk show. We have raised in excess of £4000 during the year helping support PTSD UK, Geoff Horsfield Foundation, Annie Devlin, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, BHST and lets not forget all the other worthwhile collections.
What are we heading for in 2022? Firstly, scenes like the above i.e., minimal numbers allowed in as Scotland have already decided or zero attendance as in Wales. I am glad that the Fulham match is off for several reasons. Fulham is usually one of our best supported away trips but reductions in their ground capacity have reduced our allocation dramatically. My son and I, he lives in London, were trying all sorts of avenues to get to see the game without much luck. Just when Fulham advertised tickets for sale, then the game was called off. The old cynic in me suggests they were aware of the possible postponements and were trying to get a few extra sales. They know that they will not get so many punters in on a cold midweek in February.
