The twats I'm talking about are the ones that go to one Tesco store at a time...

People that put an 's' on the end of Tesco. Twats.

The use of the word "pivot" to describe a holding midfielder. Twats. (and don't get me started on "double pivot". Probably the same twats that trot out the hideous "From the get go" phrase.)

I wish someone had eaten my cat before I had to spend £10k on repairing it....

Looks like it was tactical... BBD not a happy bunny... (The Chilean fans don't appear too impressed either)

Hmm... BBD subbed off after 35 minutes... Injury...??

BBD is playing as we speak for Chile in Chile, so I'd be surprised if he'll be deemed ready to start on Saturday (yes, I appreciate it's still only Tuesday but he's probably not going to be back at Staplewood until Thursday at the earliest + time difference/ jet lag to consider)

I'm sure Russ won't perpetual said "gag" when asked for an update on Stewart at this week's pre-match press conference....

A mere 3 games into a new season? You sure about that...? Surely after 3 defeats we'd have been spending every minute on the training field getting things right rather than sunbathing on a Mediterranean beach somewhere...?

Anyone else think it a bit odd that the club have posted very little training footage during this international break? We usually get regular training ground updates to fill the void but not this time it would seem. Wasn't sure where to post this observation but maybe it has something to do with keeping a lid on Stewart's fitness (be it good or bad news)? Verging on conspiracy theory territory, I know, but just pondering why we haven't been getting the usual dose of training coverage during this break.

Ramsdale Suga - THB - Bednarek - KWP Downes - BL Lallana - Fernandes - Dibling Archer Ross Stewart with a 10 minute cameo from the bench now that he's been in full training for 2 weeks...

Doesn't that depend on whether or not Ankersen fancies doing another tactical U-turn, like he did with the Jones -> Martin (via Selles) appointments...?

Cheers for the thoughts Dusic 👍 Unlike most, I tend not to have a specific "point" in mind when I post on here, rather I just do a lot of pondering out loud without thinking too much about why I'm thinking said thoughts...! I agree that "RussBall" (or should that be "JaseBall"...?!) worked ok last season, but I guess we're yet to see how much of that was down to playing in an inferior league. I'm still confident that Russ can make it work in the Premier League too. Time will tell of course...

Chomp, chomp, chomp....

Indeed, and I would venture that at least 90% of active forum members on here are in the former camp, with a vocal minority in the latter.

Also in my head, mostly...

The same twats that cause the daily tailbacks on the A303 due to gawping at Stonehenge, no doubt.

It's even worse than that.... most of us don't have the advantage of multiple users of the same account....

That's definitely where I make up most of the nonsense I post to be fair.... What part of the body does yours come from...?

Yeah, agree... those that focus on the small minority of fans that are calling for Russ to be sacked, whilst ignoring the majority of pragmatic fans who have valid concerns but still want Russ to succeed, need to stop being so dramatic...

One assumes the club's media team are champing at the bit to publish the photos of him training this week... That said, given it's almost the end of the week, with very little training footage released so far, one assumes they're waiting for the photos to arrive in the post from TruPrint...?

I can see the 'mental struggle' to understand the small minority of fans that are calling for Russ to be sacked after 3 games, but what about the majority of fans who want Russ to succeed, don't want him sacked as things stand, but have valid concerns about whether or not Russ has the acumen to get the best out of the players at his disposal and turn things around? Do they pass the Manji mentality test...?
