The Nest Egg

Goodness me that's an interesting lineup, isn't it?

Are you sure it was him? Zac Vyner and Callum O'Dowda didn't have any involvement then!

 

It was a weak attempt at humour on my part. Namely implying that everyone's least favourite football CEO had inexplicably persuaded our chairman to spend millions on a facility dedicated to heavy rain, only for it to fail spectacularly due to the pitches constantly getting rained on.

Always rather liked Zak and have met him briefly, good bloke. Callum on the other hand has stolen a living for six years, awful footballer 

Why did we let Mark Ashton build the High Precipitation Centre? Another total waste, this seems to happen every week 

Can't think of anything witty.

He's absolute overpaid dog s***.

Thank you and good night.

I have to admire the resilience of those who have continued to defend O'Dowda over tbe last six years.

Perhaps you could teach some of it to him!

Hope you've brushed up on your bartering skills son

Not sure if I’ve missed it on here but I see the outstanding human Rene Gilmartin is now Head of Goalkeeping at Ipswich. Bet that was a vigorous recruitment process. 

Not 'Head of Totally Unbiased Match Commentary' then?

Perhaps that's a future secondment for him

Odd statement from her Dad.  I’d not be worried about the police investigating him, I’d be more worried about them trying to stop me going after him if it was my daughter 

He's lucky; many other dads would want to show him what oven cleaner tastes like after seeing the photos and listening to the audio.

People defend O Dowda year on year and then the same happens year on year. Look down, attempt a step over, walk into defender, lose ball. Rinse and repeat for, I don't know, six years?

Imagine if you were trying to have a big poo just as that started.

Proper off putting I would guess. Animals.

I don’t know, it might have been a big help!

Jesus. Even the Trump zombie army did better than smash up a toilet! 

I’m probably oversimplifying things here due to my FM ‘experience’ but by all accounts he is a top bloke and could be a really good mentor for our lads in that position that are getting there, but not quite ready for the level of responsibility that guaranteed starters need.

I miss the days where you could guarantee that, even if the ball came back down with snow on it, it would be Flint's all day long. 

I'm not at the game and am glad to see the general sentiment that we put up a hell of a fight today. 

Bring back the Megastore I'd say! Especially considering all we would need to do so is a lorry...

Nah not particularly amusing but glad it ticked your funny bone

Gallows humour mate. Trust me, I've been very much unamused by this team for a long while, alongside everyone else.

The team gave everything. Throughly undeserved and nothing like prior losses in my opinion.

I understand this perspective although the fact we have various flavours of the same poor outcome is massively concerning. 

The ref was no doubt appalling, but the fact that we have conceded in the final minute for the umpteenth time is pretty telling. We must be the worst team in the EFL this season for it? 

Okay, the first couple of times we conceded a last minute winner it hurt, but now?

It's literally gone beyond hurting, to becoming something so bad to the point of being amusing. I've been apathetic before about our results, no doubt, but this is the first time I've found it genuinely comical.

Anyone else feel the same?

Come on Nakhi, grab the winner and maybe we can go a couple of days without including you on the list of worst value City signings of all time 

The eternal season continues. Wake me up when it's over... 

At least we're not going to lose on Boxing Day this year 

It's all part of the pantomime of football. I think it's great

Does Mike Smith still play?

The goalie? Yep, he's with the Oilers nowadays 

That's the fencing response. Not good
