Tonda mentioned this after the game and said we aimed to press higher up the pitch in the second half. Given WBA’s dominance in the first half I wonder why we didn’t change tactics earlier given that they could have gone in 3 or 4 up.

Boro choking early this season??

He has scored some good goals this season and looks a decent player to me.

Great that the tactical change at half time made a big difference in the second half, but why not make a change to the press in the first half when they were bossing the game? Very happy with a point after that abysmal first half and although we had some good chances to nick it, so did they. A draw is probably a fair result overall.

Edozie!!! 😂

Shocking first half. They will be gutted to go in only 1 up. If Tonda gets something out of this he deserves the freedom of the city.

Archer scored again today.

SR have made a few poor decisions but fair play to them, they got it spot on in standing by Tonda and resigning JWP.

I used to work with a lawyer who kept a list of interesting names she had worked with. Top of the list was a lady called Fanny Whiffin.

Archer has scored again today! He has only failed to score in one of their last 6 matches.

No danger of children mate! I wouldn’t choose a partner who picks his holiday destinations depending on their appalling history of apartheid. 😉

Incredible to think that certain words that were totally taboo back then are all over the TV now. Mind you, there are still plenty of Alf Garnetts walking amongst us today, so perhaps the world still needs to move on in certain areas! Didn’t see yesterday’s game so can’t comment on the performance but I can imagine that MLG will be more than happy with the 3 goals after some earlier comments on the thread!

Funny you should mention that. We have a really obnoxious West Ham supporting neighbour who clearly has anger management issues. He can often be heard shouting at his wife in the back garden and the latest news is that they are getting a divorce.

There doesn’t seem to be a theatre thread so here we go. We saw Paranormal Activity at the Marlowe in Canterbury last night, on tour after a run in the West End. Excellent stage production with clever effects and proper scary. I am a bit long in the tooth for horror stuff nowadays but it did the trick for the Halloween period and genuinely has you jumping out of your seat a few times. It has a run in the Mayflower Theatre ,Southampton in early January 2027. Highly recommended.

For as long as I can remember MLG has been the self-proclaimed fact checker on this forum, something I find quite endearing. I appreciate that he can, sometimes, be over zealous when carrying out his duties. On this particular occasion I don’t think he overstepped the mark. For those of us who aren’t pedantic, I quite understand that this need to be so precise about facts is puzzling, but given what we are seeing in the White House and with many politicians over here, perhaps we need more MLGs in our lives? What particularly caught my eye was the accusation of bullying given that, due to his pedantry, MLG is one of the most bullied posters on the forum.
