The Cat

Subs barely been warming up at half time. Must be same changes.

It isn't, it's going to be him.

It all started going wrong once the stewards confiscated the inflatable shit emoji we were throwning around the away end.

Apparently there was a big boardroom bust up around the Nathan Jones time between new regime and the ones left from the old one. Semmens won't be here next season from what I was told this afternoon.

I like these sort of questions that presume real life is like FIFA or Football Manager.

Thought the owner came across well in that exchange. I liked the final message which fans of all clubs should listen to. None of us really know the details of what's going on in the background in their clubs but are happy to publicly abuse owners, employees etc.

Cuco Martina

I only really remember Rodriguez missing a good one but a lot of the game went by in an alcohol induced blur. At one point I had to close one eye to focus on the game because otherwise there were 44 players on the pitch!

The fudge express? Is that really the best you can come up with in 2023?

That was in the first few minutes of the game. Yoshida also missed a pretty easy chance in the last minute of the home game that I think would have put us through if it had gone in.

Maybe they would have played through the press if there had been one?

Spurs are funny

I can't believe this appointment. It's just Wankerson being clever because he thinks he's more intelligent than everyone else. Can't see anything other than us plummeting through the leagues. Our next local derby won't be at Fratton, we'll be playing against fucking Eastleigh.

6 months? Normally takes about 6 minutes on a match day thread before someone is called out for getting something unbelievably wrong. It's Friday and I'm in a good mood so I'm going to say that this is the perfect managerial appointment and he is going to lead our inevitable charge back to the Premier League in one season. In fact we'll be so good that the EFL will decide in February to just automatically promote us to spare the other clubs we have left to play the indignity of club record defeats.

I wish people would stop calling him Wankerson. Probably the same comedy geniuses as the ones who change club names to things like Wet Spam and Spuds.

Was he shagging them all at the same time together or separately? This is an important detail.

Is it ok to reserve judgement on the appointment until I've seen a fair number of matches or do I need to signify overwhelming delight or utter dejection now?

If Boro lose this will the fans on their forum say it's "Peterboroughy?"

Oh don't get me wrong, if it was us I'd have been irrationally overexcited about playing some Moldovan team away from home and trying to avoid getting filled in after playing Alkmaar. I bet there's some West Ham fans who have been moaning about the fact they could have finished 10th if they didn't have all the Conference games.

I remember playing in an under 12's tournament when we went out in the group stage but got to the final of the plate tournament. Was very excited. Seems a bit like that.

Was just watching the end of the West Ham game, all started getting a bit feisty after the final whistle but couldn't tell what was going on because annoyingly the cameras don't show it. The skate commentator Ian Darke was eulogising about how this was one of the greatest moments in their history which seems a bit over the top since they've largely been playing teams not many people even knew existed most of the way through the tournament. "Their first major European final in 47 years." Does this count as major final? It's a lucky, lucky losers cup!

98th minute equaliser!

We previous for denying Liverpool a Champions League slot with a last game of the season 0-0 at Anfield in May 2000. They finished 4th, 2 points behind 3rd placed Leeds who went into the Champions League instead.
