| Forum Thread | At least we won't have to tolerate Shearer tonight. at 13:17 25 Jun 2024
I'm looking forward to watching our boys tonight & the bonus is that it's on ITV so we won't have to tolerate Shearer talking incessantly over the match. He is so annoying, I actually muted the sound when watching the Denmark match. He thinks he's the only person that ever played football, I personally am not interested in his opinion. That's why I never watch or listen to pre- match & post match panel opinions. Just think how much BBC could save if they did away with the panel & their very biased opinions. Perhaps save enough to reduce the cost of the TV Licence. |
| Forum Thread | Stuart Armstrong denied stone wall penalty. at 10:23 24 Jun 2024
Chris Sutton is adamant that It was not a penalty when Stuart Armstrong went down in the box. As usual Sutton is wrong, that was a stone wall definite penalty, the defender caught Stuey's back leg & anywhere else on the pitch it would have been a free kick. The ref bottled it because it was so late in the game. Shame he couldn't have disallowed Hungarys late winner. Felt for the Scottish team, they gave it a good go but not quite good enough. |
| Forum Thread | Average age of squad at 21:14 15 Jun 2024
It would appear that the owners have changed their policy of signing young players with potential. Apart from Harwood Bellis all the players we've signed or are looking to sign are over 30 years old. Are we starting a walking football team. |
| Forum Thread | Transfer window opens tomorrow 14th June at 11:44 13 Jun 2024
With the transfer window opening on Friday 14th June I just hope we make some quick decisions & make positive moves for the players that we want or can afford. Give RM a squad to work with when training starts, don't leave it until the season starts. Dropped points at start of season could prove critical come May 2025. |
| Forum Thread | Is there another reason we didn't see much of Ross Stewart. at 09:52 28 May 2024
I understand that there were clauses in the Ross Stewart contract suggesting that additional payments over & above the 8M transfer fee that would have to be paid based on appearances / performances of RS. That may be why he was an unused sub. But we'll never know ???. Be interesting to see how he performs in Premier Lge having only played a handful of Championship games at the age of 26. |
| Forum Thread | Secret to our success today. at 22:31 26 May 2024
We completely nullified the threat of both Summerville & Gnonto. To the the extent that both players were substituted. Brilliant plan & executed perfectly. Also Alex McCarthy being a calming influence in goal. We'd have lost that final if Baz had been playing. Not forgetting Will Smallbones pass to AA for the goal, if that had been Bruno Fernández playing that pass the pundits would have called it a worldy. Well done RM & all concerned. |
| Forum Thread | Same line up for today at 14:24 26 May 2024
Same team again. Probably right decision. Just give it a go Lads & make us proud. |
| Forum Thread | Michael Antonio admits that he hoped to get injured. at 12:39 20 May 2024
Michael Antonio recently admitted that he had been suffering mental issues which is very unfortunate & we don't wish that on anyone. He admitted that he had fallen out of love with football & there were times he was hoping to get injured so he could get out of playing. He never looked like a player that didn't want to play, he disguised it very well. I just wonder how many players "fein " an injury because they prefer not play. I would guess that plenty do. Or am I just being cynical. [Post edited 20 May 12:41]

| Forum Thread | David Brookes showed just how good he can be. at 12:46 18 May 2024
I always liked David Brookes ever since his time at Sheffield. He's been so unlucky with his health issues but he's battled back & showed last night just how good he can be. Alright not the most physical & doesn't offer a lot defensively but he is very creative going forward. He gives us something different, a player that is always looking to create something. I just love the way he caresses the ball with the outside of his foot, I would love us to keep him promoted or not. |
| Forum Thread | Prowsy on the Bench again today for Hammers. at 14:17 5 May 2024
Prowsy has been left on the bench again today as he was in previous match. With the quality that the Hammers have he's now finding it difficult to get a start. But at least he's had the opportunity to experience some European football, he wouldn't have got that with us. |
| Forum Thread | Che Adams v Adam Armstrong stats at 10:06 2 May 2024
We all give Che Adams a lot of stick but his goalscoring record this season is much better than Adam Armstrongs. If you judge by number of goals per number of minutes played then Che's record is much better than AA's. And that's not taking into consideration that AA has penalties included in his total. But, they've both missed too many to count. It doesn't matter how many they score between them if we keep conceding more than we score. Our goals conceded is shocking & if it hadn't been for AA & CA contribution we wouldn't have made the play offs. Well never know how many Ross Stewart would have scored. |
| Forum Thread | If only. at 12:09 29 Apr 2024
The irony is that the others have been dropping points. If only we had been able to win our last 3 games we could have made automatic promotion. BUT, the reality is we don't deserve it. We've still a chance in the play offs but I fear the worst, getting promoted. With the current owners + current Manager + current players we'll get well stuffed in Premier lge. If only we had the squad that we had in 2012 when we got promoted. Jose Fonte + Adam Lallana + Morgan Schniederlin + Rickie Lambert. |
| Forum Thread | Same again against Watford at 14:11 13 Apr 2024
RM has stuck with the same starting eleven today against Watford. Leaving both Bedders & Stuart Armsttong on the bench. Stephen's will be our leader again today, just hope he can lead us to 3 vital points |
| Forum Thread | RM has done it again, shoehorned JS in. at 18:55 9 Apr 2024
Now I am convinced that RM is clueless. For tonight's match he's made room for JS by benching our best defender Bedders. To make things even worse he prefers to play Smallbone before Stuey Armstrong.. CRAZY. |
| Forum Thread | I am now convinced that Jack Stephen's is now picking this team. at 19:07 6 Apr 2024
Jack Stephen's again trying to clone himself into John Stones, the only similarity is the initials (JS). He's not a good ctr back so now he's trying to be the destroyer / creator in midfield. This just cannot be a decision made by RM, if it is then he's a even worse manager than we all think he is. Stephen's just wandering about in midfield getting in the way of others & leaving the left back position completely open. That convinces me that Stephen's is now selecting the team & giving himself a game every week. I've said it before & get bored of thinking it, RM is not the man to take us up & would never keep us there even if we did go up. [Post edited 6 Apr 20:16]

| Forum Thread | Didn't think I'd say this but ! at 22:30 1 Apr 2024
With what's going on at the club promotion to the best league in the World would be a disaster.. We don't have any Premier league players in our Squad so we would take an awful bashing most weeks so I dread the thought of going up this season. RM is not capable of taking us up so he has no chance of keeping us in Premier Lge. The Majority of Leicester & Leeds players could hold their own in the Premier lge, should we get there.we just do not have enough quality or the funds to finance some decent signings. That's why I personally think it'll be Leicester & Leeds that go up automatically. It looks like we'll scrape into the play offs but will not be good enough to win them. Destined for another season in Championship will be very tough because of our current squad our best players will move on or go back to their parent clubs. [Post edited 1 Apr 22:33]

Bednarek taken off in 80th minute last night. WHY. Is he injured. |
| Forum Thread | JWP's West Ham bubble may have burst. at 10:04 19 Mar 2024
As good as Prowsy was for us for many years he is now finding it difficult at West Ham. After being hooked off at half time against Burnley he's now been benched for the last 2 matches. His specialist free kicks are no longer working, why. West Ham have more quality players than we had in Premier Lge so Prowsy has to up his game or end up on the bench. He's no longer considered by Southgate for England. What a waste we could have used him this season. |
| Forum Thread | Ipswich turning the screw at 16:26 16 Mar 2024
Ipswich 4-0 up after 60 mins. They really are over achieving with their limited squad but will make automatic promotion difficult for both Leicester & Leeds & virtually impossible for Saints. |
| Forum Thread | Why RM let Perraud go at 12:51 15 Mar 2024
Apparently RM has said that he let Perraud go because he didn't suit the style of play that he wanted from his players. Oh, I get it, Perraud wasn't so good at playing loose passes or giving the ball away or getting caught out of position as Manning is. |
