Defoes cousin was spot on. I was on the table next to the ignorant twats and they were spoiling it for everyone. Was close to telling them myself.
And as they were within 3 foot of defoe they would have heard him without a Mic so that's no excuse

He was. But he was unaware of the sound problems. As were most of the people who mattered. The actual sound bloke was f***ing useless. Nick Barnes shrugged his shoulders when he became aware of the issues.

I’m not surprised people were talking amongst themselves when they’d paid £45 and couldn’t hear a thing. I was in the half of the room where the sound was perfect and there was no noise coming from any of the tables. Most people in that half of the room thought it was just people being ignorant arseholes. We didn’t know what the random shouts were until the sound issues became apparent. I’m sure if someone had attempted to sort the sound the talking would have stopped.

Ugh Nick Barnes and Borini anecdotes. Tbf Borini did have his moments in brief but once we'd signed him he just went through the motions and ultimately contributed to where we are now.

Nick Barnes is just a complete tail.

Yet the ignorant arseholes were a mere 3 foot from defoe and Barnes. They could have heard them without microphones. Had a good night anyway - have a good day pal.

I’m not defending them. I wouldn’t have behaved the way they did myself. I just think it’s understandable that some people weren’t happy. I had to go down to that half of the room to get to the toilet and bar and the difference in sound was night and day.

How much was it a pint

Best ever goal was against Newcastle - obviously.
Only manager he never got on with was Eddie Howe - what a surprise.
Ground he used to love playing at was SJP…………because he always used to score there - what a surprise.
He retired because his body can’t do it anymore and it gives someone else a chance to do what many people were hoping he would do and score the winner at Wembley.

Couldn’t he/the club have managed his training for a month and half like? Massage and a swim on a Monday etc? In the play off final, last 15 mins and a loose ball falls in the box, who do you want it to fall too? You don’t need “legs” for that.

Certainly not the 2022 version of Jermain Defoe, who could do nothing but shoot weakly straight at the keeper.

No chance he’d lost it that much. And even if that’s the case, surely the fella knew it on the 31st of January? The whole things just a joke and will become another stick to beat the club with should we (in all likelihood) not get promoted.

Well there is. He had. It was painful watching him. He was a million miles off the pace. He barely touched the ball, and when he did, he did nothing with it. It was like when Cole signed for us, or when Bridges came back. Anyone else would have been slated for putting in performances like that.

I don't know what he thought on 31st January - maybe he thought League One was poorer than it was? maybe he thought he just needed a chance? I don't really care what he was thinking tbh, I'm more amazed at what the hell we were thinking when we signed him. It was a ridiculous transfer.

That we can agree with mate. I’m not being wise after the fact but I was amazed we wanted to sign him. But then I was amazed the club offered Keane the job.
