  1. Yes, BBC now showing the result, but for most of the match showed it as Abandoned, as did some others.
  2. Odd. A couple of websites showing Taunton’s match as “abandoned” but the club’s Twitter is providing comments on the action!
  3. That was my thought. They looked too young and innocent to be doing anything deliberately bad.
  4. His post match comments seemed to indicate that, in view of the recent results, he wanted to get to half time “still in the game” so started with a cautious lineup.
  5. Did any of them rate their manager? Their forums seem to feel they were as bad as us today and think he’s a mistake.
  6. Meanwhile I’ve just been reading comments on a Swansea forum, praising Manning for doing a job on them and wishing they’d appointed him!
  7. I didn’t want Pearson to go, but the season was pretty poor under him too. I’m not sure we’re any worse under Manning - leaving aside “recency bias”. Purely because change for change’s sake is rarely a good idea, I’d stick ftb.
  8. I’m not sure why you consider O’Dowda dislikeable. Certainly ineffectual, but seemed a lovely lad. To me, at first sight he seemed to have it all - ability on the ball, strong, floated over the ground. But then the courage to use his skill seemed to disappear. I always wanted him to run at players, surge through the middle with the ball - but he didn’t. I don’t know if he lacked courage, or simply had risk taking coached out of him. I suspect the latter. Modern coaches want to retain possession rather than lose it, even if it is the risk takers that create chances. Callum just seemed endlessly to receive the ball wide, then turn and lay it backwards. But surely we see a lot of that in many players today as well?
  9. Isn’t Szmodics top scorer in the Championship, or thereabouts? Nothing wrong with buying him - if only we’d used him properly!
  10. To be fair, if you’re from Millwall (the area, on the Isle of Dogs, where the football club originated) then you are a cockney. But not if you’re from Bermondsey where the club moved about 1910.
  11. Free pass? He’s been taken to court, prosecuted and pleaded guilty, leading to fine & costs of £260, plus a ban by the club and attending a course to get that reduced. Now has a criminal record. Not exactly free. Seems commensurate.
  12. I’m sure there’ll always be a place for him at Eastenders.
  13. I think you’ve got our demographic wrong there! I’m pretty sure 75% of those sitting near me were born before 1974.
  14. 72-0 with a Duckett half century already. Fun to watch. will it last though?
  15. Because, arguably, at this point we are nowhere near ready to cope with the PL and are unlikely to reach that point in one close season. Getting close this season and getting automatic next season might be better. That’s all.
