Does anyone know what the total goals scored is for centre-forwards we have owned in the last 10 seasons up to and including tonight. It must be abysmal given Celar is worse than Dykes and Washington. |

It’s obvious that Marti doesn’t fancy some of the new players. Something has gone horribly wrong behind the scenes given his management approach last season.
This club just drifts from on heap of stupid to another huge pile of stupid! We’ve been flirting with relegation for too many seasons and this is beginning to look like the beginning of the end.
Utter shite all round. |

Why are we so open? Need to get JCS back and Dunne in at RB asap. It’s a proper mess tonight and that’s on Marti.
Hull didn’t have to work too hard tonight. |

It shows what a turgid spectacle the Championship is with Blackburn in 3rd place. Let’s be honest just before the sending off we were all thinking this is ok - we are holding our own.
I’d rather have a slow start and given the new signings that’s to be expected. On today’s showing do you really think Blackburn will be play-off contenders come March/Apr?
There is a long way to go and Marti has a decent track record on improving teams. Whatever happens we will finish above Blackburn at the end of March/Apr.
Somehow I think it will be top 10. |

In many ways the establishment all knew about his awful criminal behaviour. I’m no monarchist but they knew Di was stepping into a bad-place once she hitched up with his son.
There are still a lot of people from his staff, the Police and the establishment who have some serious questions to answer.
This story isn’t going away anytime soon. |

This is it - the start of football eating itself.
It's been coming for a while and that train is going to pick up speed pretty quickly. It's inevitable that a PL club will eventually opt to play 50% of it's home games in the Far-East - cue Spurs and Levy.
I have no more interest in watching the PL, Champions League etc given it's become elitist and a money-making machine - but not for the fans.
The EFL need to wrestle back control from Sky and bring back 3pm KO's, invite the two big Scotish clubs in and get real football rolling again - for the fans!
Feck VAR. the PL, UEFA and all those greedy bastards masquerading as Chairman. I hope the whole PL show implodes! |

It’s costing the owners circa £2M a month to keep the club afloat. The cost of maintaining LR must be huge, given its condition. I’m pretty sure the club have had a professional condition survey undertaken to ascertain the cost of keeping that asset just viable. In my opinion the conclusion of that survey would not be good news in terms of future funding just to keep the status quo.
A refurbishment of the existing stadium just isn’t viable given the current footprint and what the club want to develop and achieve.
The site needs to be sold for premium residential development which is now the main development focus around White City.
Our new CEO is a sharp operator-it will be interesting to see what the next steps are. Either way he states quite often that the club must be self-sustaining and remaining at LR doesn’t achieve that goal. It’s as simple as that. |

Two games in with a new foreign midfielder recruit, who arrived late into the box to equalise. Also, played the final ball to Paal in the final third, for that wonderful ball to Frey!
What sort of black magic has this Madsen chap bought to our shores?
He’s clearly a very good technician and will need time but for God’s sake give him a fecking break. |

Really difficult to see how you improve LR as a facility, that is not losing £M's a year as a piece of real-estate. The on-going maintenance costs must be huge!
From a purely business perspective the only option is to sell the land for re-development (prime residential) and re-invest that in a new ground.
I retired from the corporate RE investment world two years ago and LR is a "lame duck" as a sporting opportunity. I'm sure Ruben knows that. |

For a player that played over 160 games for u, I cannot recall him ever tearing up any tress, being consistent or actually proofing that he’s a solid Championship player. If it is a fee of circa £1-1.5M we’ve had their pants down and it’s a job well done.
Never a Championship player and will maybe be ok in L1 - although I doubt it. No loss for us. |

Hi Paul -we don’t know each other but I thought I would offer my support and recent cancer experience.
In short, I was diagnosed with stage 3 bowel cancer in September 2022. I had no symptoms, so you can imagine the shock! I was a very fit 60yr old, still working, never smoked, but liked a few lagers and a nice glass of wine.
After all the scans etc my diagnosis changed to a more serious position. I had robotic surgery to remove my tumour and after further histology my diagnosis improved. Thankfully, I didn’t need chemotherapy am now in the 5yr surveillance program which is absolutely fantastic.
The treatments available today are incredible and in some cases are curative. My main advice is to trust your medical team and do as your told (not something we are good at later in life). Do not google anything-it’s all out of date and bollocks. If you want to reach to people going through a similar journey-join the MacMillan forum. It’s trusted and has nurses and professionals who can help you. You can learn a lot about your diagnosis.
Stay close to your family if they are nearby - they will be more worried than you. I’m now two years cancer free, retired and enjoying life.
Stay positive, trust your medical team and do not google. Most importantly take care of your mental wellbeing. It’s the most important part of personal recovery.
Best wishes on your journey and keep us posted. |

Let’s not forget that whilst this transfer stuff is on-going Ruben is till covering circa £2M of operational losses per month - primarily on the stadium.
That is not sustainable, but has been part of the landscape for sometime. I hope the new management are tackling that issue as that level of loss cannot continue. |

Do you think Marti wants him?
Given how he improved the existing squad when he arrived, I'm thinking it is not beyond him to make improvements to players we already have. Should we patient? |

This is the new defence posture for all the fecking idiots getting hauled before the courts at the moment. They all suffer from ADHD, poor mental health, lack of intelligence, self awareness, self control etc.
It's all suddenly being discovered after they have been lobbing concrete blocks at the Police, setting fire to hotels with people inside, injuring Police dogs, arson, criminal damage, calling for riots on-line, promoting race hate on-line etc.
The amount of young children now getting actively involved in all of the above, is fecking frightening. We need a serious re-set in this country. |

The government need to be bold and ban illegal gatherings of more than 50 people for the next 100 days.
That fecking cocaine mob last night, as well as the mob in Leeds last week, are going to lynch someone - and that will be an innocent individual or a Policeman.
Bring the military Police in to undertake some civic duties and get huge numbers of Police on the streets and give them the powers to sort these c**nts out.
You want to have a sword fight in Southend then be prepared to get sorted. You want to riot in violation of a banning order, then be prepared to get your head cracked open. |

In her latter years due to onset of dementia my family moved my Mum into a care home. It was a wonderful environment with a mix of clients that had their care paid for by the local authority and some paid for privately.
What struck me was that every person in the care home received their WFA irrespective of the fact they were being cared for in a warm and caring environment.
I could see no valid reason why that benefit was being paid in those circumstances. At some point we have to have a grown up discussion on benefits and who qualifies. For me work should always pay and we should be tougher in that respect. But does a family of two with a joint income over £100K really need child benefit? |

I’m 62 and from the moment I became politically aware the Tories have made my life miserable. I was raised in West London-North Kensington and the place was a fecking slum. No investment and all overseen by a Tory Council in the 70’s.
The SPG terrorised the locals and it was no surprise when the carnival erupted in 1975.
Along comes Thatcher and her henchmen and they proceeded to crush almost every working class area in the country. We all know what Thatcher had sown for decades to come. Then comes along the nasty party who made it abundantly clear they despised many of the professions from the NHS to Education.
Then came austerity! And finally the clown show started by Boris.
It’s no surprise that the Tories hate public servants with a passion. Over a period of 40yrs their stewardship of our country has been criminal. |

I’ll wager, that every one of those listed, there were better technical players who didn’t make it. A lot is not based on football ability, but on a coaches preference as they may take to a boy and his family who have the right attitude etc.
I now watch a lot of non-league football. Right now the academies have dumped a huge amount of boys onto the scrap heap. Some want to play and will drift into different leagues and clubs from national league to step 5/6. Those boys generally have a great attitude and want to keep playing.
A lot turn up and because they been pampered on brilliant pitches and facilities they don’t have the bollocks to drop down and drift off into oblivion.
It’s a grinder, but fair play to the non-league pyramid who are a brilliant resource for some of these lads. |
