Mark Hughes Sorry. Still have scar tissue 🙂

Surely small, not picky elements of a keepers game, and nothing that should hold up a move. 🙂 I'm pleased he's recovered so quickly. A loan move would be ideal to get sharp ess back and develop. But like you say GL...where?

Martin could save us some pennies, by taking on another role. Baz, Will and Jack would be good additions for him at whatever club he ends up at. Manning too.

I recall reading that Dibling was frustrated not to get minutes in the Championship. Now he's shown strengths in the PL, I agree that there's little point in him going back there. He can now develop his all round game against better opponents. There was a time when SR were wanting to get the next RB target, develop them, and sell them on for a large profit. Selling low to RB doesn't fit this really, and I'd think they'd want to sell for a higher price. Nothing wrong on a personal development view to him going to RB though. He'll learn a lot.

This. @gio1saints mentioning it could get even worse without him gave me pause. Worse? How can it get worse? But it could. 🙂

Although the post, like so many others you struggle with, had enough clarity for the purposes of a football forum, why not simply ask for a clarification if you had failed to understand it? That enables discussion and makes you look a lot less ignorant. Far be it for me to mention another MLG bad habit, but... Bad Habit #3: Get caught out. But rather than adjust behaviour, pretend you are never wrong by grasping any straw and try to dig a big hole with it.

That will be why Gio went on to call Les "physically dominant strong" later in his post then. Bad habit #220: Reading posts for gotcha moments. Bad Habit #221: Failing to read the rest of the post after thinking there's a gotcha moment, and making a clown of yourself. It's also not great for anyone on the forum just wanting to post an opinion, only to remember there's every chance it will be followed by the likes of the above.

Protected. I can put up a cryptic picture though.

Forums seem strangely hostile to people with information to share, who also want to protect sources/ sensitive data.

I read some posts about links. They looked to be in a language I understood. I thought I could read the words. I have no idea what that was about. 🙂

"goals and assists" If he's not going to do even the most basic research into the club he's joining... 🙂

I'd quite enjoy myself being away from us too Sadly, we don't get the choice. 🙂

Cats treat all humans with contempt. Those providing food, rubs, warmth and games are still treated with the same level of contempt, but are allowed to act as distractions for a couple of minutes.

Tsk. You think of yourself as a fairly strong minded, objective person not prone to bandwagon jumping. One cat pic and suddenly you're at the army recruitment office insisting there is a Kitler army, and you must be allowed to join. >sigh<

2nd prize in the raffle is 2 DM chats with SOG. 🙂 Apologies to SOG for cheap shot. Did Bowie not actually fall into such thinking for a while, based he said on what he was reading?

Oh heck. I was on a call to my doctor this morning, and heart rate was discussed, while pointing out the pigeons on the back wall to my feline overlord. I've spoken to 2 neighbours since, and didn't pick up on any hostility. But I'm now concerned about them misconstruing what I was doing. Anything from Nazi salute, fascist salute to imitating Musk.

I was thinking the same about Biden. 🙂 Even with the debate gaffes and everything else. It still takes a huge amount of energy to even be on such a punishing campaign schedule at that age.

Thanks Badger. That's what I thought in this day and age the thread would be about. 🙂

It fills in a fair bit of a squad, without the drive, creativity and focal point to get it over the line. So yeah, not as good as the side finishing 4th, even if we would be a bit more forward in games. It would need a freshening up.

Possibly not the best phrase to use around our new manager. And "Roma wasn't built in 12 games," is right out. 🙂

SRexit means SRexit 🙂

"They mentioned there might be an opportunity and I jumped at it with both hands," said Gape. Just think how much better he's going to be when he uses his feet to jump. 🙂

It's not great when the most worrying curse in the family isn't the djinn from the artefact stolen in colonial days, building our estate over an ancient burial ground or that there's a 50% chance of spontaneously combusting on our 60th birthday. It's the dread of passing along the curse of supporting Saints to the next generation. 🙂 I do find I can put up with a lot more since SaintsWeb opened the S&M subforum. Basically watching this season's highlights while wearing leather replica kits. I met a Leicester fan today. I mentioned it wasn't going well for their new manager. They were half way starting to complain, when I said I supported us. Just silence, then a "oh". No mockery, no sympathy. Just a mental shuffling away from our car crash of a season. Work comments have generally vanished. No one's quite that heartless 🙂 I'd really like to get past Derby's record. They were abject. I'm reminded of them every time I'm turning over from the start of Robbie Savage on 606. I don't want that thought to become "and their team did better than ours" every week.
