Fuck off and go and support someone else

Obviously they will be offering more money but it's a strange move all round. Wilcox has hardly pulled up any trees, we'll cope fine. Hope we stand our ground RE compensation like Newcastle are doing.

We didn't deserve to lose. Should've finished them off in the second half Manager absolutely not to blame, got the tactics spot on. We'll absolutely murder Blackburn.

Che Adams hat-trick and a clean sheet, you heard it here first

We should've won; we didn't, disappointing but not a catastrophe. There will be plenty more twists and turns to come, how many times this season have we come back right at the death? The way I see it, that game was Birmingham equalising to make it 3-3. The next 9 games will be that Aribo moment...

You know what will happen on Monday then...

Don't see what the issue is at all.

What Defcon level would that reach at Hampshire Police HQ?

Poor man's Guly

The AC Milan away but in black and with the red/white down the side would look very good. To be fair to the kits, they're all fairly unique for each team, which is good. Hopefully they kick things off with traditional red/white stripes and a classic yellow/blue away kit.

I can't see them doing an Ipswich. I can see them bouncing up and down the divisions like Rotherham and Sheff Wed. If they do even reasonably well, Mousinho will be off to another team like Schumacher dumped Plymouth

That with a black outline/trim would look good

Just had a look at some of the Puma designs of stripy teams. AC Milan, Fenerbahce and Monterrey the most prominent, if anyone wanted to do some red/white mock ups of their kits.

Our results after international breaks this season have been the 1-4 against Leicester and the 2-1 win away at Hull. Hopefully we see a repeat of the latter performance and outcome!

I've been trying to work this out myself. Avanti trains are striking on the Friday so should be running on Saturday. Closest you can get is Preston which is 10 miles away, and then get a bus/taxi. Obviously though the morning trains may still be affected by the previous day's disruption. But Blackburn itself is only served by Northern so I expect the entire station to be shut.

Oh yeah the people are very friendly. More a comment about just how miserable they all looked.

The area around the Riverside is quite nice (ish). The town centre is grey, miserable and dirty, and the people not much better. The worst place I've ever been to in this country is Slough, but Middlesbrough is a very close second. Must be something to do with places that end in 'Ough'.

3 points is a must, nothing else will do. Boro are a weird team. Beat Leicester home and away, beat us at home, but then lose games like to Bristol City and to Stoke.

How far back were Reading and West Ham? I remember Reading coming from absolutely nowhere and going on a mad winning run

Playing like that would be fine, we just need better players who can do it at that level

Why would he not take his wages that he was entitled to under the contract that both parties agreed to? We sacked him, not the other way around. We had 12 points from 14 games when he left. We only gained 13 more from 24 matches. Not saying we would have stayed up but we would have been a lot closer under him. And who knows, maybe Sulemana and Alcaraz would have flourished under him and galvanised us to safety, like he managed back in 2019.

I'd accept a lower fee if we get a massive sell-on percentage.

Good luck to him, will look out for his results. On a related note, great to see Nigel Adkins doing well at Tranmere, they won at Wrexham yesterday.

And another where he fluffs his lines Southgate will probably take him to the Euros after today

Goes without saying but that Middlesbrough game is absolutely a must win and hopefully it's a hammering. Give us instant momentum going into Ipswich away, that would be 3 wins on the trot.
