That Cundy’s a bit of a unit. I had to laugh when he came on and grabbed one of their players around the neck and threw him to the floor.

He’s so fun to watch. I love players who have genuine pace, power and purpose to their play. 

A bit like O’Dowda?

Interesting half

Both teams not really doing the do, prety drab goal aside. 

Boro no shooting boots, but still causing havoc. 

Sam Bell, Williams, Klose Semenyo having awesome games 

Funny how we see thing differently. I’ve really enjoyed the first half and have been pretty impressed with city. We’ve got some very young players and we’re going toe to toe with a team that are on a good run.

When is he happy?

We regularly do some work at the training centre and every time I see him he’s always smiling and make time to come out and chat with us. Top bloke in my opinion. 
 

He’s a top manager and I he’s taking us in the right direction. We’ll finish about mid table which is realistic at the moment.

what excites me is that young players have been given a chance and they’re doing the business.

Well deserved indeed - AS increased in confidence tremendously and now must be one of the first on the team sheet.

We all saw his power and pace in glimpses last season but is now producing virtually every match and adding goals to his game.

Semenyo is already on the radar of bigger clubs so hopefully this award won’t increase interest too much!

It might increase interest but will also increase his value. If he keeps improving he’s going to be worth big bucks. He’s going to be a wealthy man, hope we can keep him until the end of next season 

What a player when he was on song, a pleasure to watch. 

O’Leary in goal. At least we know there will be goals then!

He has quickly been banned for life by Leicester, can see him doing a bit of time for that, what a knob, he's going to regret that in the morning.

Got to be something wrong with the bloke to do what he did. He doesn’t need time in Nick he needs help.

Fail to see how Max can be blamed for any of the 3 goals today. 

When was the last time he kept a clean sheet?

5 minutes ago, Alan Dicks said:

Shipped in 2 or more goals in past 9 matches, worst record since 1962

And some think Max is up to Championship standard football?

1 minute ago, Numero Uno said:

Agreed, he's had an extended opportunity to show what he can do and unfortunately for Max he has not proven himself to be a competent Goalkeeper at the level so far. Fine with his feet but you do have to make saves, take crosses, communicate and organise a back 4 too.

Fine with his feet? So is Louis Spence!

Most Blackpool fans predicting a 3-0 home win tomorrow. 

I fancy us for an away win. I can see us scoring two or three.

Does anyone have experience of sorting a POA?

My mum has recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and the support nurse suggested we should take one out sooner rather than later

I can see you can sort online but wondered if anyone had used a solicitor to take care of it and what they charge 

Appreciate I could do online myself but am thinking it may prove less hassle to get a professional to help me

Thanks

You can do it yourself online. My Mrs did it for both her parents, it sorts out a load of hassle once it’s done.

Poor? He took Villa to the Championship Play Off Final the ‘last time he was in this league’ - and he has taken both Hull City and Birmingham City into the premier league by winning promotion from ‘this league’ four times - Bruce is a solid appointment for the Baggies - good luck to him ...

Top manager at this level, his record speaks for itself

I was on the girls coach...we pulled up alongside a double decker full of City nutters, they all piled to the one side of the top deck to get an eye full. The decker leant over so much I thought it was gonna topple over! Incidentally, the girls were from Chaplins strip club.

Ha ha, that was us lot. A double decker bus full of Barton Hill and Easton kids. We got pulled over on the way back and the poor driver had his details taken because of the drunken behaviour of some of his passengers.

Isn't it like that thing where famously, if everyone who claims they were at the Sex Pistols gig at the 100 Club in 1976 was really there, they would fill the away end at Mansfield? Or vice versa?

I had a ticket to see them at the Bamboo Club. Gutted, the place burned down

Just look at the Liverpool line up in 94. It's insane that we beat them and what a performance.

 

Souness was their manager though!

Orient at home in the early 70s. Losing 1-3 at half time, ended up winning 5-3. 
 

MK Dons at home in our promotion season 3-2. What a game, took me hours and a couple of pints to calm down 

Beating Hereford in the semifinals at home to send us to Wembley in the Layland Daff or whatever it was called.

I edited my original reply to you (above) to give more info on why his achievements in Scotland were very notable - when he joined Rangers as manager Scottish football was far from a two horse race - indeed back then both Aberdeen and Dundee United were taking European football by storm whilst also winning Scottish premier league titles.

You think Souness is “the biggest fraud in management” - I disagree, he’s won 11 trophies as a gaffer in three different countries. And I notice you chose to ignore my question to you as to whether you think Cotts and GJ should also be labelled “management frauds” as all their many achievements have come at the lower levels of English football ...

And you now seemed to have downgraded your opinion of Souness from “biggest fraud in management” to “you don’t rate him as a manager” - there’s a huge difference between those two 

Souness stole a good living as a manger because of his reputation as a player. Once he got found out in the English top tier he packed in. 
 

As for Dundee taking Europe by storm, I remember it well.

As a manager Souness won 7 trophies in Scotland, 2 in Turkey and 2 in England - that record hardly makes him the ‘biggest fraud in management’ as you said. Presumably you think the trophies he won in Scotland don’t count as you probably dismiss Scottish football as being too low a level?

If so, I guess you dismissed our League One title triumph under Cotts as being an achievement that didn’t count as it was only the third tier of English football? I suppose you believe that any honour won by a manager below the English premier league doesn’t count as it’s too low a level?

So to you, a manager can win 11 major trophies yet still be ‘the biggest fraud in management’? That’s a strange point of view if you don’t mind me saying. Guys like Gary Johnson and Cotts may as well throw away their CVs because the multiple honours they have won obviously don’t count in your eyes as they were achieved at too low a level ... they must be ‘frauds’ as well ?!

Thanks for the info. There was me not rating Souness as a manager and now I know he won 7 trophies in Scotland and 2 in Turkey. 
Fair play to the bloke

Can remember our coach pulling along side the coach they were on after the game. They put on a full show for the lads
