Liam Manning asked him to show less emotion on the pitch

Glad I wasn't the only one pulling my hair out! Thought there were 3 or 4 occasions he should've booked their players and didn't but jumped at the chance to book ours

He was fab at Watford. Williams is now putting in performances I hoped he would when we signed him. Hope the improvements continue

Hi all, bit of a stab in the dark - my partner and I are keen to get over to Oz for a couple years and give living and working abroad a try. We're starting to get our heads around Visa's but I wondered if anyone on here has been through the process semi-recently? If so, I would be really grateful if you could drop me a DM! Thank you.

Q2 and Q3 are the interesting ones for me. Over the last few years the group of friends I go with have started to lose confidence we'll be more than a mid table Championship club under Lansdown's ownership. The sacking of Pearson has only cemented that view for us all. Personally I'm feeling more despondent than ever and the my thoughts re new ownership has certainly tipped toward excited and away from wary.

Gutted. Was a big fan of Nige personally and admired the job he's done in the circumstances. I've been saying for a while it might be the man who comes in after Nige who benefits from his work... pressure on the Lansdown's to get his successor right. I'm not holding my breath.

I wonder if it has crossed the minds of the Lansdown's that the results might have been better if Nige was able to spend a small proportion more of the money brought in by Scott and Semenyo sales.... I doubt it.

First thought would be angry that SL got rid of Nige I expect

What happened at the train station? I live in Cardiff and waited 45 mins to walk down Sloper Road before I eventually gave up and walked round the long way. Sounds like Cardiff fans were kept waiting to walk down Sloper Road for over an hour after the game and I wondered if delays getting City fans on the train at Cardiff Central was why

Agree

Like this viz!

In fairness Carrick and 'Boro got a lot out of last season's loanees so there's some logic in thinking they'd get the pick of the next batch! Entertaining to see 'Boro have a dip, but my manager is a 'Boro fan so if they could pick up their form a bit it might make the 9-5 a bit brighter ?

I was surprised how many pundits were optimistic on 'Boro in pre-season given losing Giles, Archer and Ramsey meant they had to replace 30 ish goal involvements. Not a loanee but similar point, Akpom was looking likely to leave and has done so if you include him as well you're talking about 50-60 goals Boro are having to replace!

Thanks for sharing this. Why is it you're not keen on our forward 3? You don't think we have the players with suitable attributes for it?

For what it's worth I'm not judging you or calling you a dinosaur or whatever, it's just an interesting one and I think some people might be confused why you'd have interest in men's but not women's as it's the same sport which is why I ask the question. I think the answer around what sports we watch isn't as black and white as 'I like men's sport and not women's'. Like yourself, I don't have time to watch every sport so today I chose to watch the women's world cup final over Premier League games because it was a game attracting more attention and felt like a bigger event. Week to week, however, I'll tune into the Premier League over the WSL because the standard is higher, there is more media interest, I'll have more conversations with friends about it etc. Same reason I'd watch the Premier League over the men's Japanese League. Of course the discussion then becomes 'if women had equal media attention then the standard would be higher, you'd have more interest and conversations about it...' at which point it becomes complicated balancing equal opportunity with actual demand.... I certainly don't have the answer to that
