The Nest Egg

A hell of a player and leader. His safety and health must come first. Will be a real loss to the game.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Glad someone’s said it.  Alway makes me cringe this ‘league champions’ and ‘double winners’ stuff.  It’s tinpot.  Like you say we shouldn’t even have been there.   

I just refer to it as the s**t double

First name follows the rule, the name in brackets is the one I feel was - or will become - the best footballer.

10s: Jay Emmanuel Thomas, (Adam Webster)

20s: Andreas Weimann (Alex Scott)

Honourable mentions being Tammy Abraham for 10s and Antoine Semenyo for 20s.

Missed Plymouth then?

That was only two months previous, not “years”.

I was visiting my brother in France that week, had a great time watching it on TV together in our old City shirts.

You're easily pleased.

Think it was more to do with us being absolute pants at home for a long time now. Plus I was not in the country for the 17/18 season.

It was a damn fun game and the people I took with me (who usually don't like football) enjoyed it a lot too, what's wrong with that?

Boro game was the most fun I've had at Ashton Gate in years to be fair 

Sam Bell at left wing back? jesus wept...

Looks like Matt Taylor taking over.

A good manager who I respect from his time in Exeter.

That being said, it didn't go so well for the blue few last time...

I remember us beating them 2-0 in Derek McInnes' first game in charge. 2011 I think? There was a time where that era did have some promise before that brutal 2012/13 season

Bloody hell, its Gavin Marshall! Didn't even know what he looked like 

God, I can barely watch

At least one of Vyner or Tanner need to be subbed off, they do not look assured at all 

I for one rather enjoyed being good for ten minutes 

Tommy has to do way better with that

Although I like James, I've wondered about a Naismith-TGH-Knight midfield. Mainly for the reasons above, but also a better range of passing from the back.

It also wouldn't have Joe Williams in it which would be a boost

I think Phil was referring to me….my temporary name and pic change from Davefevs to Spreadsheet Boy….not the other users.

Ill change my name back, although I like the avatar, thanks Silvio.

OTIB's own New Coke moment!

Considered changing your handle to 'Fevs Classic'?

Salmonella?

That's him scoring today then.

You are all more than welcome if that is the case. Mehmeti too perhaps?

Has Weimann touched the ball yet?

Shame isn't it, he's finished

I suspect that must be me.

I also suspect that if you put someone on ignore - you probably can't then DM them.

If it is me- I can give you every assurance that I would respond to you. As for being cowardly- in my entire time on OTIB , I've never put someone on ignore. 

If it all gets too much then as Tom F recommended: Take a break.

PS ( Edit) I have just seen @phantom's response.

Until such time as that facility is available to you, I agree I will not respond, comment or give a reaction to any of your posts so long as you do likewise.It's a "gentleman's mutual ignore". If you DM me I will respond as I would with anyone- good or bad.

 

In all honesty, having seen your posts over the last few days I think it is you that needs a break.

My stance on recent events at the club is different to yours although that is not why I am saying this. You are a respected poster on this forum and you have started to lapse from those standards into an approach that could be politely described as catty.

Online debates by their very nature end up like this when issues close to people are discussed. I'm no angel and have had a couple of angry posts over the last week myself! It's totally up to you on whether you wish to take this on board or not but I would at least suggest taking a step back and wondering if you yourself are overreacting and coarsening the debate further.

Oh Tommy, we love you but not one of your best tonight 

wrong bloody topic again!

Certainly agree with Weimann hiding. Every game. Whisper it on here though cos he scored a lot of goals 3 years ago 

Have a lot of respect for Andi. He's finished at this level unfortunately 

I would absolutely be looking to get Callum Paterson in if Weds continue to struggle
