Prowsie started this season very slowly TBH. I was calling for Diallo to replace him in the starting XI at one point. Even his set pieces were way below his usual standard. And then he upped his game in every department. He's been getting better and better and he's been immense since Christmas.

He obviously received Billy's Boots in his Christmas stocking (see Wikipedia entry to make some sense of my comment)
 
Anyone know what Block 4 Itchen centre is like for atmosphere? Thinking of taking my son for the Watford game. He's 9 so not looking for super rowdy, but nearer the Itchen North, away fan etc. Any thoughts?

Block 4 should put you close to our 'loud' fans in the Itchen North, near the away fans, but far enough away to avoid any unnecessary confrontation. Personally, I'm one of the Northam End fans, who enjoys standing, singing etc, but if you want him to experience the atmosphere/banter/singing etc, then Block 4 should be pretty good.

The only thing I'd say is that the sun sets over the Kingsland stand, so it always seems that fans in the Itchen, even those in the most expensive seats on the halfway line, have the sun in their eyes for a large part of the game.

Thanks L&O, that’s really helpful, next I’ll be asking for sneaky car parking areas in walking distance of ground!

I simply cannot see Chelsea selling him to Arsenal, or Arsenal agreeing to a buy back clause.
It’s the latter part that is the kicker really. And might be the only thing that gives us a chance as I’m not convinced a club like West Ham would agree to that either. I’ve said it before but (allegedly) even Brighton thought they were above accepting a buy back on Tino

It is a reason why I’m not convinced of “Halaand to Man City or Chelsea” as a rumour. His agent wants him at Real or Barca eventually and will want a release clause that is actually achievable and those clubs will not go for it

This is annoying. There is a chance Chelsea still consider Arsenal rivals and refuse to sell but this definitely makes it harder for us. If he carries on playing like this our chances of a permanent deal are slim.
Sadly the better he plays for us, the greater the competition will be for his services next season.
A few on here previously criticised me for saying that he could be leading the Chelsea front line next season, when a question was raised about where he might be playing next season, but I still think that could be the case.
More importantly, for the short term, I want someone to knock Chelsea out of the FA Cup.
It would be a tragedy to lose Broja for a QF, SF or the Final itself.
 
He mentioned someone who recently came into the premier league who was number 1 “by miles” on the next manager list but is now probably beyond us. I wonder who that is
