Happy to disagree on that point personally. Think the Watford, Lincoln, Wrexham and Bolton results were poor, we’ve laboured against Portsmouth for the first half, huffed and puffed away to Norwich, the team doesn’t look as sharp or fit as last season and we’ve gotten good at sloppily giving the ball away in dangerous areas. We’ve got one of the best first choice XI’s in the league, but bar a handful of games I don’t think we’ve looked that great, and our scouting team that get paid a fortune don’t appear to have come up with the tools we need to make a go at the autos.

Think we’re under achieving personally, and Tonda has been let down when it comes to the players at his disposal. Dobbin has had 9 appearances so far this season and hasn’t looked like scoring, forgive my trepidation whilst Lankshear who actually had the same goals per game ratio last season is banging them in, tap ins or not, and we’ve not scored via a forward player for 4 games now.

Perhaps, but kind of doing him a disservice with that statement, It’s 11 in 12 now which is no mean feat. Still need someone with the quality to finish these chances, as we saw with Dobbin and his one on one last week.

How did we draw 0-0 with this shite? Boro have got behind their manager with a few quid in the summer and given him the tools to succeed. Have to say despite their equal or better squad than last season bollocks Sport Republic have let us down once again.

Boro showing what difference investing in a proper striker makes. What’s that now, 10 in 12 games?

Torrential rain and 40mph winds come kick off on Saturday, won’t make for a pretty spectacle.

Not a great day for those worried about AI. First the PHP security flaw originally discovered by AI, and then subsequently exposed by hackers using AI. Then the announcement of 5000 jobs going at Barclays due to AI. I know all companies want to save money, but when just one company cuts that many roles it’s only a matter of time until the rest follow suit. Can’t even begin to imagine what the future career opportunities for our children look like the longer this carries on an AI gets smarter.

I think Conte would be another disaster for United, so I’m all for the idea. That club is rotten, entire playing staff need to be sold and rebuilt, starting with their little rat of a captain. Get back to having a British backbone through the side.

Left in 2001 so a bit of a gap, doubt much changed in those few years between us though, lots of the same faces I’m sure.

Same, fucking 9 euro a pint if I remember rightly. Wankers.

Didn’t realise you were a BP’er Turkish. Until I had him as my own maths teacher I was shit scared of Mr Crosby, once I was in his class though he was actually decent if you showed you were willing to learn, genuinely hilarious at times, and remains one of the best teachers I’ve ever had. Left under a bit of a cloud though I think, one day he simply wasn’t there, and we never found out why! Would love to hear his views on the world as it is now.

It’s might have started as students, but it’s the usual suspects just causing chaos now, only got to look at all the Palestine flags being waved to get an idea of of what it’s really about. Will only further the support for Marine Le Pen ahead of the elections.

I know, so fucking weird. Mentioned on another thread he’s scored 9 in 11 now, keep that up and he’ll be getting Boro promoted. Guess some are just butthurt that he’s playing for the victims. For us meanwhile it’s been 4 games since one of our strikers last scored, and now it seems our only decent one is injured. We’ve signed Archer Mark 2 for a sizeable sum and sent the original model out on loan where he’s subsequently scored 4 goals, bought in a kid from Man City on loan that can’t trap a bag of cement, and despite us trying to renew Stewart’s contract, clearly because we know we needed a strong second striker we’ve failed to bring one in. Another Sport Republic recruitment masterclass.

I literally said we’d been left short in the striker department.

Interesting take, 9 goals in 11 games now. I wish we had him personally, especially as it’s looking clearer game by game that SR and Spors have once again left us short in the striker department.

God they’re fucking obsessed aren’t they. Calling us classless because we put visitors on the scoreboard yesterday. That’s the sort of wonderful pettiness they’ll never understand because they don’t have a proper local rival that cares about them. The Bournemouth of the North-East.

Love that few seconds of Stephen’s celebrating at the final whistle, great camera work, hang it in the fucking Louvre.

Love how a couple of portsMYTHS were shattered yesterday. St Mary’s was rocking up to and including after the final whistle, and their lot were shite. Must be bad when even their own fans are moaning about their support.

I’d consider giving Dobbin and/or Mubama a proper run for this. We can’t keep relying on Larin up top and someone else needs to step up.

There was one today very close to the corner of 18 yard box right in front of the Northam/Kingsland corner that was crying out for Prowseys right foot to drill in a curler and create some panic in the box, but instead it was wasted by Manning. Bree was decent on corners last season, then he got replaced by Leo and his aren’t all that tbf.

Christ. Almost feel sorry for the bloke these days. Genuinely when do you think he last had a bath?

Yep, and Kamara got sent off for them the following season I think, thought he’d been fouled so picked the ball up and earned himself a second yellow.

They also don’t mention that it’s hard to beat in a team in the league if they’ve spent the majority of that last 22 years in a lower division than us. Sometimes 3 divisions lower. I mentioned similar in the build up thread how these articles are a portsMYTH in themselves when only looked at face value.

Surprised he’s still there to be honest, could do well at a bigger club. He’ll be feeling those baton hits in the morning, dopey skate.
