  1. Their forum is saying that but having turned it down in December, I can’t see him going there now. Norwich don’t seem to be considering him, Leicester who knows and Rangers strongly linked with Ancelotti Jr.
  2. That’s not just a low bar, it’s no bar. Martin has been found out which is why we’re still paying him. Idiotic to have turned down West Brom. Best chance he has is one of City’s coaches leaving,
  3. Coming back from injury tbf. Jones is a nutter though. What Ankerson was thinking is beyond logic that he’d be able to cope in the PL.
  4. Scholes actually named Southampton on 54 minutes as an example of not adapting and competing. Dyche did everything bar say the word. It was pure nonsense from Martin and Ankerson last summer and season.
  5. Leeds League Cup SF first leg at Elland was bad in 1979 as well wasnt it?
  6. He did NOT enjoy that free kick wasted straight behind the goal. Most of the play off ties have been exciting but these two ties so far…er not.
  7. I was too young to go, but my old man and his friends went. Gutted at the result even at that age, in 1986 at WHL we hadn’t been expected to beat Liverpool, but in 1984 we were favourites with our best ever side. The 1980-82 had more flair but was suspect away from home. Apparently there was literally rivers of urine streaming down the aisles of the North Bank?
  8. Russell’s agent and Russell himself seem to rate him far higher than the actual football industry does. Turns out results and clean sheets every now and again are important. Leicester the only game in town left but that’s only if they can afford to sack RVN at the end of next month.
  9. Rupert in the clear with the old bill https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnv138z2gl9o?at_campaign=crm&at_medium=emails&at_campaign_type=owned&at_objective=conversion&at_ptr_name=salesforce&at_ptr_type=media&at_creation=[87099_PANUK_DIV_20_NEW_PoliticsEssential220_RET_INTEREST]-20250514-[bbcnews_exreformmprupertlowewillnotfacechargesoverallegedthreats_newspolitics] In Private Eye, more about Lowe and some of the ‘characters’ just elected with Reform
  10. Do we actually need Bitcon anyway? Spors can’t be there everyday but surely the club can find some extra pairs of eyes for him?
  11. At Bursledon Windmill, it’s another sunny day where John has purchased a carrier bag full of strong cider from Tesco.
  12. Still some controversy about the ignition. The cause was the rubbish piled up underneath the stand and an asphalt roof from 1910 acting as a funnel. A visiting fan living from Australia was cited by police recently as having dropped a cigarette end which he thought he’d extinguished but his family strongly deny he’d said that. Horrific and thoughts with all concerned. Glad they got promotion this year. The 4 minute video is still used a lot in occupational fire safety training on how to evacuate along with the Manchester Airport disaster that same summer, even though Yorkshire TV were criticised for filming at the time.
  13. Hope Ross doesn’t set the fire alarm off.
  14. Albert needs to rotate the strike to get his innings going. He’s getting stuck struggling with timing and far too easy to subdue and ultimately he’ll eventually take a risk to move on.
  15. Good for Liam, we are very unlikely to make Finals Day this season. Can’t complain, we’ve had a lot of success in it.
  16. Whilst there are benefits to those drugs, it still won’t reduce all of the harms contained in many ultra processed foods eg emulsifiers, monos, fructose syrups and other crud. Especially for neurodiversities where there are issues with impulse control. For balance not all UPFs are terrible and they can’t be totally avoided when you need to eat on the go.
  17. Didn’t get it anywhere near target either, 50p shaped header.
  18. Probably keep the main stand and newer home end active, maybe knock down the two older wooden stands down and put screening up. That would be enough for the WSL. Main stand is 12.6k and the Sir Philip Carter stand 5,750. Gives them around 18k, that would be enough. If not, keep the Gladyws St End which holds 10k as well.
  19. I agree on Wellington, miles better than Manning, mystery as to why he’s not regularly started if fit. Sulemana just isn’t a footballer for me. A £22m, much poorer version of George Lawrence, Neil Heaney or Franz Carr. Actually, that’s still unfair on George, look at his output in the top flight compared with Sulemana’s https://www.saintsplayers.co.uk/player/george-lawrence/ Much inferior to Neil Heaney as well https://www.saintsplayers.co.uk/player/neil-heaney/
  20. Remember, MAGA are a plucky movement taking on elites… I wonder what he makes of that? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Nader
  21. He would be upfront with Carrillo in our worst ever top flight team.
  22. Impressive and great for their fans. In practical terms, reflects the difference in cost of land. The London clubs couldn’t have done that and the Dell site was too attractive for developers. Whereas Everton would probably spend more demolishing Goodison that they’d get for the land. Although they’ll have to budget for maintenance on Goodison as an old stadium. Imagine if the new one at Bramley Dock was damaged in a storm? Can’t be too many medium-large clubs around Europe that could play fixtures in their old, quite large stadium, whilst the new one was fixed and insurance settled. And probably not totally fanciful with climate change.
  23. The commercial side of the club has done alright from what I can tell, and would be better still if the football side wasn’t so disasterous. Rasmus, Kraft and Martin were the main offenders. Just have to hope Spors and his team find the right manager and sort player recruitment out over the next few windows, because it won’t be fixed in one or two.
  24. Reform have certainly targeted that age group on TikTok, I remember reading about it. There we go https://news.sky.com/story/something-remarkable-is-happening-with-gen-z-is-reform-uk-winning-the-bro-vote-13265490 Seems to be what would have been the Young Conservatives when we were growing up in the 1980s plus the Conservative Student Societies which were pretty active, effectively replaced them. Like the YCs, this ‘bro’ crowd are almost all men as well 18-25. The YCs were always in the papers for various views that would make CCO shudder plus their drinking, and this cohort sound quite similar. With the average Tory age of voter let alone member nudging up towards 75, this really is existential for them. Happy to welcome any One Nation Tories into the Lib Dem fold.
  25. Agreed, has had more wealth and success but millions better not just financially but as a human being https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Stevenson_(economist) The likes of Rob Moore are just poundshop Candy brothers, bet they’re his heroes.
