Didn't know he did one.

I said it to the tune of the justeat advert.

It's not a closed shop though which is what they really wanted.

If they want to play in it they will, the Premier League said last time it reared it's head that they cant play in both.

The Prem is a joke. We got up just in time to establish ourselves before it went properly bonkers. £50million chucked about by the top sides without any expectation of them actually guaranteeing good performances. Really not bothered about going up this season. Hopefully the European super league happens soon and then the top flight will be interesting once more for those outside the top 6.

Assists weren't invented for the betting industry FFS, you couldn't even bet on assists until online gambling became a thing and even then only in the last 5 years or so when they rapidly expanded their markets.

Not in my mind as it exists to discuss a specific topic.

It can't affect you if you don't see it. Social media and twitter in particular is poisonous, I'm much happier having nothing to do with it. I have a Facebook account but deleted the app and just use messenger and the only other thing I use that's remotely like a social media is YouTube. Honestly wish more people would give it up, the human brain isn't wired to deal with the level/type of social interaction and information those websites' algorithms force on you.

Where? When? Online abuse is so easy to ignore I don't know why anybody gets affected by it. Twitter is a cesspool that everybody should boycott as it's the absolute worst aspects of society that come to the fore on there.

I see a lot of posts on social media about Smallbone, Martin nearly crying talking about the "special moment" Will had with the fans at the end of the game after "the week he's had"...isn't this being blown out of proportion now? He wasn't getting THAT much abuse was he?

Another scraped last minute win.

Well bugger me

14 points dropped in the last 5 games and 10 points behind Leicester. Infuriating.

Of course. As soon as Birmingham went down to ten I knew we'd end up losing, always tougher.

Leicester losing, titles back on boys!

He loves hipster looking lads with beards, I'm telling you.

Twitter line up shows THB at right back? Bloody hope not.

Blackmore hasn't held back on asking awkward questions that's why Martin doesn't like him.

He was tenacious and got stuck in yes but in a Shane Long kind of way, he was at his best further forward.

The side of the stadium outside the kingsland also makes for a great battleground, with the Northam lads at one end and the away fans at the other.

Complete midfielders are a rarity in the championship. Even when we last went up, we had Morgan who couldn't shoot, Hammond who wasn't really creative, chaplow who couldn't defend, Cork who couldn't shoot or pick out a killer ball...the search for an all rounder at this level means you end up with someone who is below average at everything, good at nothing.

Watch him drop THB as first choice now.

Don't really get why Smallbone would be getting more abuse than anyone else. He's been a solid member of the team this season and despite the usual discourse he does actually put some good passes and crosses in, as well as getting in good forward positions and bagging himself some goals. Our best midfield combo for me would be Downes and Aribo so what we're essentially asking is if Smallbone is good enough to be third choice in a championship side and the answer is absolutely yes.

Exactly. So we don't sell him.

It's a FIFA regulated competition isn't it? I'd imagine they have to.
