  1. Was always a risky gag because there was a chance that may have happened. Will pass on your message.
  2. If we don't go up and SR are convinced the whole season was a complete and utter failure then I'm sure they will sack the manager. If we don't go up and they don't sack him then we'll assume that although he didn't reach their stated goals in the media they are happy with how he did.
  3. Your mum does, we have some interesting conversations on DM.
  4. Put yourself in the position of the Wales manager. You're playing a game to decide whether you qualify for a major tournament and the game is locked at 0-0. Your side looks unlikely to score against a team including the defensive titan Jan Bednarek while you have a player sat on the bench who is proven to be able to produce a little bit of magic. Do you a) give it a try and hope he helps secure a place in the finals? Or b) leave him on the bench because he might pick up a little knock that puts him out for a week or 2 when the team you manage doesn't have a game for a few months.
  5. I'm not against it but wouldn't be part of it myself. It happens at a lot of other clubs so it was pretty inevitable it would happen here at some point. It's hardly a secret that our home atmosphere isn't that great, even when we have been winning a lot it's not that good. If this group can improve that then fair play to them. Just as long as they don't have a drum or any other instruments.
  6. It's a bit of a slippery slope going down the "which musicians are paedos" route. Pretty sure a lot of people like the Rolling Stones, yet it was apparently fine for Bill Wyman to shag a 14 year old. So fine in fact that it was celebrated in the tabloids at the time which is utterly sick. There's loads of other examples, too many to mention. However none of that is remotely like MLT having some views which may be considered controversial on Twitter. Very strange that a club historian should use that as an example to try and make a clumsy point.
  7. It would be utter carnage if we got them in the play off final. It's actually quite something to imagine just how big that game would be.
  8. https://x.com/TheAthleticFC/status/1772683249749229686?s=20 Hahaha
  9. I have wondered if he was a troll but it's a pretty long-term effort for low reward if he is.
  10. No coincidence that a lot of the biggest dickhead drivers have personalised plates.
  11. Love the Joiners. Spoken to so many bands from all over the country who know about the history and are excited to play there. Pat is a legend.
  12. What block is your ticket in? We normally get in the ground for a beer before kick off so if you're in the Kingsland stand let me know. Your English will be a million times better than my French!
  13. Paul Wotton will no doubt lead them through it the same way he dragged Saints through matches with his talisman displays.
  14. Oh no doubt you get awful games at that level too, I've seen my fair share of stinkers over the years while stood in the cold wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life. It's just different though. The stalwarts who go every week and grumble with dry humour, the old bloke with a stick who doesn't seem to age, the unreasonably cheerful woman working in the tea hut, terrible tannoys that emit random high pitched noises every once in a while, kids playing games on a grass area behind the pitch which are sometimes more entertaining than the match you paid for, the club secretary with fried egg yolk stains down his shirt. You get the odd jumped up club with a bit of cash and suspicious finances who suddenly get a couple of aging ex League 1 pros, but they quickly become the club no one else likes and invariably run into trouble. Personally I love it's charm. It's not elite sport but then it doesn't pretend to be anything other than what it is.
  15. The only place to get that now is non-league. Obviously the standard of play isn't quite the same but you still get spectacular goals, amazing play and a lot of hard tackles. I took my kids to a load of non league games because I felt it was important for them to understand that not all football is sanitised seating, half and half scarves and people whining on the internet because the manager has picked the club captain.
