  1. I understand that some may need their money back but personally I'm happy to leave my season ticket money in there if it assists cashflow and aids transfer activity. And if they've managed to find somewhere to earn interest, good luck to them.
  2. Did I see that the former treasurer of the supporters' trust has been done for personal tax evasion? I was also amused to hear Catlin banging on at great length about his disgust at the potential idea that some rivals might attempt to gain a competitive advantage by offering wages that they can't afford under the new rules. Selective memory.
  3. Every year the same mistake, it's ridiculous. Why can't they get the fixtures correct for once? For ten months of every year I get told by every toothless simpleton that we'll be playing each other next season, and then the fixtures are released and they've missed off the local derby. I know they partially-corrected it last season with that cup game/training session, but a half-hearted warm-up match against what I assume was their Walking Football XI, isn't a proper game. Sort it out EFL!
  4. He's playing a blinder, apparently. As is Harry Maguire.
  5. Cabinet minister proves to be clueless yes-man promoted well beyond his talents shock.
  6. It's okay, I renewed today so cashflow is stable for a week or two.
  7. She must have inherited it from her father Spike.
  8. KWP should be a great signing, though he's not a Jose player as he goes forwards. All the best to Hojberg, he was okay for us at times, but you do wonder if Jose might train the last ounce of quality out of him as he did with Morgan Schneiderlin...this deal has a similar feel.
  9. I think most people can see the difference of context. Any word used by two gays to happily address each other could be interpreted very differently when the same word is scrawled in dog's shit on their front door by an extremist nutter. Ditto the n-word, fully acceptable to like-minded hip hop artists if they are happy about it. There's no invisible line on these matters, the line is very clear to most sensible people.
  10. Lemina and Boufal could do tricks as the half-time entertainment - or we could sell them to a circus. Either way, neither appear suitable for Leeds away on a Tuesday night in December.
  11. It's no excuse for the nine goals, but the red card was a significant factor overlooked by all commentators, we'd have kept them to five or six without that. Either way, we beat them 2-1 when they had a full team and however many you score, I believe you still get three points. 😊
  12. A battle? 😂 Jose's team couldn't muster a shot against Bournemouth and lost to Sheffield United. West Ham managed to scrape a last ditch draw at home to Aston Villa with a freak goal and were the dullest team out there, Man United dropped loads of points, were shambolic at the back and even managed to chuck in a cup debacle to break up the month. Pep's team were amazing, banging shedloads of goals past nearly everyone. And that's where this award is won, the only team to challenge Man City were Saints. And we won. Ralph mate, it's yours, anything else would be ridiculous.
  13. Well done Ralph, and well done to the players, what a great turnaround. Most commentators have forgotten and none mention it, but we suffered a very heavy home defeat earlier in the season and it looked like there were serious problems and relegation beckoned. Under massive pressure. Ralph has turned it round in style and buried the Puel era and several of those forgettable crap seasons. Roll on the day when we are allowed to share some wins. The South Coast is ours.
  14. I believe they intend to get around the restrictions by limiting it to the number of teeth per stand and insisting on the use of lucky medicinal heather to control spread.
  15. It's nice to read that most people have had positive experiences and the majority of players over the years have been fairly sensible. A few decades back I had a workman round and he was telling me about doing work at Nick Holmes' place. He said that Nick was big-headed, arrogant, and was just banging on about how great he was. Which immediately told me that the workman was full of shit - because Nick was a lovely bloke and the last one in that team to come across like that. As an aside, I worked with Steven Gerrard briefly and we were in an area which was crowd-free, just me and him. I politely (always important) asked him to sign something for, which he did without hesitation, as I thanked him and congratulated him on some recent triumph. But we were together for maybe two minutes and in that time he didn't respond or utter a single word, just quietly signed, and ignored me, it was a bit unusual.... I've also witnessed some appalling behaviour from the general public towards celebs so I can understand why some forget their role and treat people with disdain.
  16. Special relegation offer this week - choose six to go down and get a free Brighton!
  17. Call me selfish but I don't care what happens to European bollocks, I just want the best for my own - and the feel of cold steel against the scrotum is uncomfortable...there are clever ways to get the best for the UK, threatening self-harm is not one of them. Waiting for them to blink first and all that big manly talk of how we are so important is great, if you have a strategy and good negotiators...but we've been missing both since day one so we're now resorting to the desperate bollocks thing. No doubt people will disagree, but I just believe we'd be better off doing clever negotiations and actually trying for a deal.
  18. Interesting stuff. Though I'm curious to know how Bednarek has made more defensive errors leading to goals than Maguire, he's been running at a goal a game recently.
  19. Though it's still quite high risk - standing there pointing a gun at our own bollocks and threatening to pull the trigger...let's see who blinks first. 😨

    Generally his stuff is pretty cool, there's normally a message, often hard-hitting, and even if you don't agree with it, you can usually find some merit in the work, unless you prefer watercolours of fruit bowls and pastel kittens. And he definitely doesn't take himself too seriously, so what's not to like? 🙂
  21. That kid up front for Norwich - I saw his great little finish tonight, gave the keeper the eyes and coolly side-footed the ball into the other corner. Class.
  22. This thread is hilarious! It appears to have been comically-hijacked by loads of forum parody characters trying to outdo each other by pretending they believe the most ludicrous things just to generate indignation in others - keep up the good work - you bunch of pinko, remoaning, leftie, sandal-wearing, trolling, self-loathing, Nazi-sympathising, Corbynista, anti-dog, Marxist, terrorist-hugging, history-rewriting, all lives mattering, country-hating, statue-bothering snowflakes! 🤣
  23. Yes, I fear all of those famous N-word statuez in Compton are going to be politely removed by concerned Klan members. I'd like to think we can all agree that while a black dog that airmen abused as cheap entertainment by getting it drunk and laughing at, was acceptable 75 years ago, in 2020 one might observe that it's treatment and name wasn't our finest hour. The famous dog should still be remembered, but persisting in celebrating its 'once-amusing' name when society has evolved, merely courts controversy and distracts from the incredible achievements of Gibson and his crews.
  24. Well I'm with Rupert Lowe on this one, I'm frothing at the mouth with gammony indignation, I have veins sticking out on my forehead and I refuse to engage with any of the facts behind this case, I will just continue to be confused by her being a dangerous idiot and the fact that she was a groomed child, and the great gift that has been bestowed upon her is to be tried in a British court!! I'm so angry I could put on mustard slacks and appoint Harry Redknapp to solve everything! 😡
