@Fordy62 has pros and cons lists on his computer at work.

This made me laugh …

The quandary for poor old @Riaz as he realises he’d actually prefer Frank Lampard over Wade Elliot!

Nobody has forced you to join this forum, which you’ve spent much of this morning disparaging. Or have they?

Going in through the back door can make a pleasant change.

Sadly, both of their horse drowned.

See that the word from above has been followed - King not picked for either team in training!

Have I missed some news? There’s nothing on the OS

Fortunately he has a load of T-shirts with BCFC embroidered on them.

... but lonely

"A clue as to City's reluctance came from Steve Lansdown in another interview over the summer when he admitted he had "not always seen eye-to-eye" with Pearson in the role, adding "He's got his views, we've got ours". " I always thought that this was a very curious and telling comment. Lansdown stopping short of saying "he's got his views, I've got mine", instead making it plain that everyone in his orbit says the same thing and dare not hold a view other than that of their leader. It's reminiscent of the North Korean government or indeed, any other dictatorship. Steve is a multi-billionaire who has spent around £20m each season managing our debt. I'm sure that we're all grateful for that, however ... to put his wealth into context, if on 01/01/1066, just before the Norman Conquest, £1000 had been put into a box and every single day thereafter up to the present day, another £1000 had been added, in that box right now would be almost £350m - about one-third of a £billion. His estimated wealth of some £2.4 billion is truly enormous wealth. To Steve, £20m is chickenfeed. The money he paid out for the rebuild of AG is, for him, small change. Running our football club has been, for Steve, a real-life computer game - a rich man's SimCity. He's added new realms - rugby, basketball, golf, game reserves etc which are all fun and immersive but it's the original football version that frustrates him because he's never been able to play it well enough to complete. He's now trying all sorts of random strategies in the hope that he'll succeed but the problem is, he never will so, like a moody teenager, he's now rebooting and starting again. Admit defeat, Steve and sell to someone else who knows what they're doing. For you, it's a hobby; for us, it's a much bigger part of our lives. We're actually part of the 'kin game you're mis-controlling.

I wasn’t asking you.

Is your seat at the Mem?

It's the title of the Mott the Hoople classic, written by Bowie.

That’s quite an image.

Thanks

It’s half term!

I sense that throughout many matches, we play more passes backward and sideways than forward. We seem to do this particularly from free kicks awarded ten yards either side of halfway. Yes, we retain possession and yes, we are looking for attacking opportunities to appear but it’s hardly progressive and it’s extremely frustrating to watch.

Butt, butt, butt …

Sarcasm, right?

3,321 Brewers 919 Fewers The M5/M42/M6 must have been gridlocked yesterday.

In fairness, there is a red weather warning in Scotland and people have been warned to stay at home and not venture out.

Everything else sounds great.
