First one was jaw dropping!! And we know in yhe euros next year southgate will have him sitting and make sure we play defensively

You need to lay off the soft cheese and cider.

We havent seen anything from him to think he will make any difference to us coming on as a sub

You will probably get a big response to that message, but at this point i think we are wholly incapable of doing anything in the championship other than treading water, at best, and. Guardiola couldn’t get much more out of the players if he had a go at it.

As a teenager i was invited to attend a physio course with buster back in the day, and martin scott would come in on his evenings off and observe,,, buster would point out muscle groups on scotts legs,, they were huge! He was a top player. I was obviously star struck being around him as a lad. i was also caught out in a john bailey wind up too,,, he was sat with his leg in a bucket of water with an electric pulse running through it to aid muscle recovery,,, buster invited us to put our hand in the bucket to see if we could feel the pulse, and cause i was closest i went first…. Old john is sat there looking at me like a lion eyeing up a gazelle,,, soon as my finger tips touch the water he shouts “bang” in my ear, i jump a mile, everyone has a good laugh!

There is zero chance we would find a decent manager to offer it to in the first place!

Eustace is a good shout, schumacher has done a great job too… and you would think robins would be a top choice if lansdown could get him.

The only benefit is that we do pull out that barn stormer replacement and steve offers up the scott cash to build the squad up… but theres no way i would trust us to get it right, or for that cash to be available… i agree that it’s personal though, nige doesnt care about making that public and the lansdowns wont like him doing that!

We just got 20 odd million in, and a much reduced wage bill,,, i doubt many would be surprised if some money was made available in January if a new manager was brought in!

We have some idea that his job security is of some concern to nige, but he nor anyone else has said the attitude toward his health is an issue. coming from a background of fixed term contracts where if something happens with my health that affects my ability to work could result in me being fired, it clearly would be reasonable to not commit to a contract extension until this is all sorted out… with the best will in the world, giving someone 3 years and the next day they go off sick with a known issue, in any line of work, would be bad management. Not that im saying that niges health situation isnt serious and that he is the sort of character that would take advantage of it.

Obviously I respect your views, but id say some of these ratings are on the generous side! I don’t mind tanner but hes lacking going forwards and weve spent a load on trying to replace him. Naismith too came in as one of our top earners and while theres been some moments of quality, the general consensus is that his best position isnt the one he was brought in for? Knight looks really good, but to call cornick a clear success is very generous! the quality of our own youth players has made the difference for us, certainly bell vyner pring and conway are probably our most valuable, not that we would ever sell them….

Is the correct answer!

Sad news,, the greatest england player ever

You said you never met a celtic fan who didnt hold extreme views! It doesnt matter anyway its a conversation on a football forum.

You said you havent met a celtic fan that doesn’t hold extreme views,, i said the british have victimised the irish and catholics, and a lot of other countries and religions, for centuries, so its no surprise people dont like us/ our ruling classes…

What have the British ever done to the irish and catholic minorities!

If you are talking about shauntaylor85, on the assumption hes been going to games since the mid 90s shaun taylor days when he was a kid, thats getting on for 30 years of false dawns, shite signings and crap management, hes as entitled to be impressed or not as anyone else who buys a ticket.

The ipswich stuff might be selective but so many teams have overtaken us over the years its no wonder we get hacked off, if ashton was to get them up im sure a lot of us would be horrified, but it wouldn’t be a surprise at this point. The only club i cant see overtaking us are that lot north of the river who are so tinpot they make us look like brighton.

Yes, by definition we cant afford to sign players like that, those 2 with a fit conway through the middle would be a real handful, but now they are gone to finance the next round of questionable signings.

I do wonder if hes aware of tommy, and how similar he looks!

We havent got 2 keepers?

I think covid, and the failure and cost of the lj/ ashton years has killed off any love that SL once had, and paying out the wages for some of the shite weve signed must have been pretty galling, especially given the list of clubs who have gone past us and played in the premier leqgue.

I think kal has a place in midfield along side james, or in his place if hes out, but seeing as he was brought in, presumably on a good salary as a top centre back, i dont think hes been a particularly great signing?

No that was 1888.

Depends how many carabao cup games they have per year
