I'm also drinking cheap red wine from the Co op. £4.50 a bottle, and actually quite decent!

We're not allowed penalties ?

He was much too young!

Gary Johnson achieved what Wilson couldn't ?

Totally agree, and I think we should stand with Celtic and Liverpool fans that have been subjected to vile abuse for booing an imaginary anthem at matches that didn't even take place!

Just found this News Thump article online, made me chuckle ? Women’s football hooliganism ‘still has a long way to go’ admits FA Despite the Lionesses’ magnificent victory in the Euros, when it comes to off-pitch hooliganism, women’s football is still way behind the men’s game, according to the FA today. Wembley Way just after the women’s Euros final: England fans walk calmly to the tube station. They exchange smiles with German supporters. They discuss dinner plans. Their children sing and dance excitedly. “Yeah, it’s obviously disappointing,” said Simon Williams, Head of Hooliganism at the FA. “The women’s game has made great strides on the field but there is hardly any violence and hostility in the stands. “You hear people criticising the standard of goalkeeping but that’s missing the more important problems – where are the thrown bottles, the swinging bicycle chains? “I think the only people who ‘went home in the back of an ambulance’ were suffering from dehydration. “Wembley was packed, and when the German national anthem was played there wasn’t a single boo. Not one. That was disappointing. “And we’re still many years away from organised fights between hundreds of opposing fans. “Like anything, we need to address this issue at the grassroots level. “Primary school girls need to be taught that anyone wearing a different coloured football shirt deserves to be thrown to the ground and have their head stamped on. “Rudimentary hand to hand combat should be part of the P.E. curriculum. “And mums should set an example by fighting each other during weekend youth matches – nothing fancy, just an eye gouge here, a headbutt there. “And don’t be afraid of calling someone a c##t just because you’re meeting them for brunch the following day. “Basically, just do what the dads do.”

I'm by no way sticking up for NP, but find it difficult to understand how some are criticising his signings when he's literally been given no budget whatsoever.

For me it's all about risk assessment! And scientists and doctors far more qualified than myself have calculated your much more likely to contract and die of covid, than any possible side affect brought on by the vaccine itself. However I respect other people's decision to play Russian roulette and refuse the vaccine. I mean many people know the risk of smoking, yet continue to do so. My only gripe is if hospitals become clogged up with ant-vaxers, and that has a detrimental affect on others.

Unfortunately most of the blame has to lie at the door of the piss poor England fans themselves, who let country down big time.

Apologies for my lack of manners, i promise I'll try to be more like everyone else on here in future!

I think you and Gregor would get on well as you both write utter drivel. Gregor is irrelevant. He doesn't write for a big newspaper. Less and less people read it every year and are turning to social media to read about there teams etc. If NP brings success to the club, then hell be in turn successful. If team performances don't improve in time, hell be out. Nothing to do with what Gregor writes one way or the other! I'm surprised you can't see this!

And round our way in Sneyd Park

He was the defensive coach, so deserved the sack. Sorry no sentiment in football. Hopefully McAllister will fair better.

Not sure any team could get 7 wins in 3 or 4 matches!

Yes, but the league one version was written by SC!

Agree, v difficult to feel sorry for super rich footballers....in they're greedy pursuit to try and get even wealthier.

We already do......are you new to this forum?

What! No pollen count?

I think it's frustrating when you see SB miss chances. But I think most intelligent fans can See what a good little player he is. Remember this forum is not representative of your average fan. And there are a lot of attention seekers on here. If we can tighten up the defence, and if Jet and SB can keep scoring at the rate they have been. There is no reason we can't finish mid table.

Yes great idea let's drop our top scorer! If only Cotterell had your astute footballing brain!

You have mis read what I have said. My point is we have scored v few goals from either our midfield or defence. And yet nobody seems to be making this an issue. Without Jet or SB we would really be in the shit. We can all see how many he has missed, yet I feel he has done extremely well to have scored as many as he has in a struggling team. If he scores 20+ goals for us this season are we really going to chastise him for it? He scored two goals against the Dons, should have been enough to win us the game. It's our defending that is letting us down. We aren't going to score 3 every game.

On the flip side, how many points would we have without his goals? Why aren't you bemoaning are lack of goals from midfield and defence as vehemently? Or does it not fit the agenda?

My point, as I am sure you are aware is- a more clinical striker May actually not score any more goals. And might actually score less. SB is creating many chances by his astute movement both on and off the ball. It is quite possible another player wouldn't even get into the same scoring positions.

Surely strikers are judged on the goals they score? Not the ones they miss! Or would we be better off with more clinical striker that scores less goals?

I think you could rough him up a bit if you choose. Just no nasty stuff! In all honesty though, I think SB works his cotton socks off for the team. Lots of selfless off the ball movement and running the channels. But yes he has weakness's. But I think he'd also walk in to most teams in this league.
