Or his announcement video could be one of him getting rat-assed in the Knights Templar along with all the red nosed old boys that the Wetherspoons attracts at 10:30am.

My dad went down to watch one of the under 21 games he played him and described him as a ‘shambles’.

I guess the answer is that Pearson see’s what goes on during the week and makes decisions accordingly. It’s not just about talent. Pearson has been working hard to get the attitude of the club changed, he won’t take anything less that 100% dedication now. I can’t see anything odd about the deal, only that Derby were interested in one of our players at the same time that we were interested in theirs. The deals will be separate in the books but I’d be massively surprised if both weren’t discussed at the same time. Wilson going for a free was probably used to sweeten the deal for Derby but I don’t see anything odd about that.

Reckon he’s up with the first team a lot this season. Seems the like modern centre forward, much like Tommy.

Surely you want to expand your knowledge of the teams and players we might be coming up against? Only watching City is akin to watching the game in a footballing echo chamber.

I’m so glad I don’t see everything in life through the eye of politics, I’ve got to be honest.

What has politics got to do with the club offering something that will be easier to use for the majority of people?

You don’t add games to your wallet each time, it updates automatically.

No Elijah Morrison then?

Bad Rakersburg in Austria. Looks rather nice there in spite of the name….

Yeah fair play, that’s done me ??

Rugby.

Yeah wouldn’t be the first time they lot have thrown a spanner in the works would it ?

Why would the game be moved to the Friday?

Quite like a Sunday game as I’ll generally make it a 3 day weekend, can see how it gets tiresome for some though.

It’s almost like Cardiff & Rovers are in a competition to see who can be the scummiest club.

Give it a few years and we will have to set aside the Lansdown Stand to house the substitutes.

Rovers are home to Derby on the Saturday which doesn’t help things.

Think for the 3rd year in a row, old mother will have to make do with a visit from me on the Saturday. Sure we were away to Swansea the Mothering Sunday just gone.

You’ve got to remember, Middlesborough is lagging about 80 years behind the rest of the country mind. That’s modern decor for the smoggies.

Because they were champions I’d imagine.

That is true as well. For too long we’ve been a cosy, nice club and I think fans have got used to it. If we are to push on then we need to accept that whilst we think [player A] might have performed well last season, that’s not to say we can’t improve in that position.

As Pearson said the other day, last season is done, it’s forgotten about. Tanner wouldn’t have been ‘dropped’ if he doesn’t start against Preston. All that matters now is what happens between Monday just gone and the first game.

Guess it worked so well last season against Sunderland that they fancied giving it another go.

Technically, that was in July so he’s probably right.
