I don't get that. The post match stuff starts after the match finishes...nobody pipes up after the match with a prediction for the score or line up!

Yep 👍

I'm waiting for the explosion as a result of a defective spark plug in a diesel powered toaster in an officer's mess. Anything is possible it seems.

Fair enough. Personally, I'd be telling those wanting change to use their thumbs and get on with it. It feels a bit ungrateful of the huge effort that you and the other mods / admins make to keep the site running.

Yep. I swear many of them posters had never been to a match in their lives!

What's the point of a poll/discussion if you ain't going to make an unnecessary change that couldn't be implemented anyway?

That's sweet, but he's under contract and the best CM we have after JWP. Personally I think it'd be crazy to allow him to leave in this window.

It's the idea that changes can be floated with the expectation that the mods do it that I find odd. Nobody can have seriously have an issue with all match related stuff in one place.

Who decided? Probably the people who own and/or have the aggro of operating the site. I don't get your issue. When we had separate threads, we often had reactions on the match thread, and match stuff on the build up. One mixed thread keeps it all in one place, and everything sequential. It's no hardship to scroll up to look back. I'm not sure who set the vote, but if it wasn't a mod, it's a bit much to set a vote that potentially means a mod needing to be on standby to switch threads the minute the start and finish whistles blow, just because a few people would prefer not to use their thumbs and scroll a bit. The mods might have better things to do.

Your brother in law talks sense. All this "gelling " nonsense is exactly that. Forest will be fine this season.

They have options if certain signings don't work out. Fair play to them for giving staying up a good go.

Yep, Edwards ought to be on the bench at least. I've never seen Payne play, just know that he's very well thought of.

Not surprised by that. I hear really good things about Payne, and Ballard deserves a chance. Good to see.

1. Perhaps don't patronise if you can't accept a little back. 2. No. I cannot support strikers who turned their nose up at a pay offer that equated to about 9%, and in doing so choke the supply chain only fuelling inflation.

I'd get yourself to a class mate.

Yet you seem to think that big pay rises is the answer to rapid inflation. Blimey.

Jeez, gutted to hear this. Met him a few times, really nice bloke. Superb player too. RIP Dave.

Invasion

Yep, very basic thinking mate. If you can't see that hyper pay rises will make the inflation situation worse, thus leading to more expectations of more pay, yet more inflation, and a continuing cycle, there's no point discussing the issue with you.

Yes, but what's that got to do with higher inflation and an even worse economy?
