French blend Java today as the Massive CEO contemplates the day at Stanpit Manor. Marmalade on toast to celebrate the return of the Great Yellow Orb.
Meeting up with US fans later & then hopefully 3 points for the #afcb boys against the smaller team in Manchester.

The Stanpit Massive' smiles he sips a fine Italian blend espresso. He's been examining the consumption of energy in his home. It would seem that the modular nuclear reactor in his garden is paying dividends at last.
Now need the #afcb boys to turn up the heat on the Arse.

If you can’t win, don’t lose
Poor defence for their 2nd
Impressive 2nd half defence from FBs, CBs & Keeper
Come at us & we’ll punish you
Chances to win it at both ends
VAR IS BOLLOCKS (as is Sutton) - either 2 penalties or none

Much much better
Take the point although we deserved more
Only one team had it in the net
F*ck VAR
Chelski good at the dark arts and f*ck all else
I like Oliver but he was flakey today
Hard to pick MotM - Senesi for me

‘The time has come,’ the Massive said, ‘to talk of many things:
Of pies & VAR & long free kicks,
Of substitutes & goals.
And why the ref is always wrong,
And when Bournemouth will win.’

3 #afcb points to celebrate my return pls lad!

Unlucky goal & it had to be Divelish
Looking devoid of confidence & ideas
Positively we only conceded 1

It was a clusterf*ck
No one player at fault
But according to “X” it could be all of the team
AI needs to stay calmer on sideline
Ref crap all round but better managed by the Mackems
These things happen
Tue will be tricky without key players

7) With a slightly "easier" set of games in the run up to Xmas (at least on paper!), it looks like a critical period in making Bill's long term goal for #afcb a short term achievement. Who knows?
But it does seem that the subtle changes are reaping rewards.

10) So #AFCB window has delivered financially:
>P&F certainly splashed the cash but overcame that with several BIG sales
>The investment ranks the squad 9th in terms of cost
>1.47pts per game secured 9th place last season – a big ask for A👁️

Will Baby “B” make an appearance & scupper the plans? If he does, 3 points will be a good way to celebrate lads.

It’s Wednesday - chore day.
The window cleaner is coming. Time for a quick Java under the great yellow orb before he starts.
Bizarrely it’s a footy day too. Here’s hoping the Tractor Boys arrive at #afcb driving a 1950s Massey Ferguson rather than a Lamborghini Trattori.

The Stanpit Massive is back from the dog walk to the unsurprising news that Zabba will be out for a while. Ref incompetence should've evened the playing field on Saturday - suspect that's the point #afcb made.
As for tonight its the sofa & Cookie to reprise his CB role.

Oxygen required
Harder than it should have been but comfortable in the end
Starting 11 keeps going but the mid match breather was nervous this time
5W / 4D / 5L - probably be a couple of years before we are able to move that on 🤣

The SPONDON has arrived! The Stanpit Massive is preparing to be prepared.
The coffee is brewing. The pain au chocolates warming. Slim is fuelled. Wet weather kit laid out.
3 #afcb points is always the aim. #ElCoastico makes it an imperative. Cmon lads, you know what to do.

Coffee brewed. Dogs fed. Semenyo interview watched. Normal prep for a Stanpit Massive matchday. But Slim will spend the day on the drive - family duties at Cobham Towers prevail. So @solentsport in the background it is then.
3 #afcb points will make it all right.

A game of ifs…
If the ref wasn’t biassed
If the “penalty” wasn’t given
If Mac Alister was sent off
If Tavs’ shot went in
If we scored 3 in 25 minutes of added time there should have been
If Scouserpool win the league it’s a triumph of Pulisball

And finally, there's no number for this but the experience in the stands week in week out is fantastic.
2014-15 still reigns as the Stanpit Massive's favourite #afcb season, but half way through, 2024/25 is close behind. And who knows where it might end, maybe even worthy of a DVD 🤣
