Looks like we best get this thread over to the classics section

I'm sorry to hear that. So, I'm sure you would want Nige, like anyone else, to be treated well by his employers.

I hope your employers don't share you mindset if you ever have to have prolonged time off work for health reasons

Just seen Big Sam walking out of KFC with a boneless banquet box meal and a pint of gravy????

I'd like us to get a winger in. Run out of patience with CO'D but feel we're missing balance as Semenyo and CO'D feel the only natural options and both have been injured of late. Pring, Palmer, Scott, Weimann can play there but it doesn't feel as comfortable to me. Going back to when we signed Wells, I've felt that creating chances and progressing the ball is a bigger issue than actually finishing the chances and I hope this would help address that. Also, I want to see something exciting after a poor couple seasons and it'd be great to see a winger that can make something out of nothing for us rather than the opposition! Wouldn't want to say how realistic it is (Shakespeare link??) but Jaden Philogene-Bidace from Villa might be an option on loan. 8 goal involvements in 1,018 minutes in 20/21 and 5 goal involvements in 225 minutes so far in 21/22 suggest he is ready for a test away from PL2. However he's barely getting around the first team for Villa who have played with wing backs frequently this season, and if that's something they continue with I imagine that would limit his opportunities too.

I bet Ashton loved talking about the Feng Shui of the RHPC

Did you go to the Man Utd home game? We essentially played with 2 false 9's that game in Reid and Paterson. As you mentioned, a benefit can be that a 3rd man run can be effective to get beyond the forwards into dangerous areas which is exactly what happened for both our goals that night. So I'm surprised you feel that players in that role steal a living given that night! Here's LJ discussing that: Coaches' Voice | Lee Johnson (coachesvoice.com)

The emoji is often used to communicate that you think someone is attractive. So in the context it seems that Downsey is saying that about the rugby players. I think some people are frustrated because they feel that if a straight male employee did the same thing about female Bristol Sport athlete's the straight employee's post would be challenged on it more seriously. However, I doubt many men are actually offended by Downsy being attracted to the rugby players, as I think @Fordy62 is saying.

Nuno to Newcastle?

Fair comments from Nige that reflect the chat our group had on the way out the ground. Despite the relief and happiness of the 3 points, we didn't play well today. And it's reassuring to see Nige is focused on the process of turning us into a better side at this level rather than dress up a victory to hide our short comings.

A lot of people saying it'll favour the big boys which is a fair take. But it won't be all bad, there's also reason for it to benefit smaller clubs, fans and players. E.g. - more room for tactical changes in games to push for a draw or shut up shop - increased likelihood of youngsters getting game time. This will benefit smaller clubs as they can still offer academy players more game time than the big sides. - already overworked footballers will likely get more rest, increasing performance levels we see and more importantly not running players into the ground.

Norwich City's domination of the Championship was just as concerning as their failures in the Premier League (inews.co.uk)

A friend who's a united 'fan' went to his first game today. Left after 60mins when they were 5 down. Serves them right. Loved seeing them get torn apart today.

Like that viz ?

But.. but.. a new left back?

Good to see Tomori in there. Imagine Tammy will be close to another call up too.

I've just seen Southampton have a Cryptocurrency education website as their new training kit partner. Feels like they've gone from one type of gambling to another!

They were never going to be far behind!

Steve Cooper announced new Forest boss

This is painful to think about!

How do you access the red button on Sky Go? I didn't think you could?

Any stream links?

@BigTone @Cobbsoldun @The Batman thanks for getting back to me. I've updated my linkedin and got the CV out there a bit more with recruitment websites. I'm living and working in Cardiff at the moment. I'm working on a financial project as a contractor and it's my first full time role after university. My previous education and work experience has been in sport. I'm not sure exactly what I want to do but I'm quite interested by a role doing some sort of research/ analyst/ evaluation.

I don't suppose anyone has any tips with regards to finding new employment? The staff at my level in my current employment have been treated pretty poorly over the last 18 months and we have poor employment terms as it is. I've been trying to find a new job but find it so difficult. The combination of these two things is definitely starting to take its toll on my mental health.
