Quite right it makes no sense as otib wasn’t in existence 30 years ago! I love it just as much as we all do! 

Just messing with you mate, I didn’t/don’t  really understand your comment

Decent money isn't £500k.

Stuck on a scholarship contract as a professional contract would have meant he was unavailable for the first team. Crazy rules. It basically left the club with the choice of accepting an offer now or letting it go to tribunal.

That takes us to 6 youngsters who have left to join Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea over the past 3 seasons for a combined £3m.

That’s actually quite sad, I have to say. Being able to develop and possibly sell homegrown players is huge for clubs like ours. All the early years investment without reaping the rewards of first team appearances and or decent transfer fees.

I’ve had a problem cos I came here looking for some positivity and 30 years later we’re still shit. 

This makes no sense whatsoever. You came to the forum 30 years ago? The forum was rubbish back then? I don’t think we are rubbish now, I quite like it here and like most of the members. 

A good insight. Thanks for posting, Major. We can only hope Bakes recovers without any long term effects.

Why should Middlesbrough and Wycombe drop their clams Derby have  lied and cheated also not paying taxes 

why should they get a way with it

I do feel sorry for the Derby fans

but I also feel for Middlesbrough and Wycombe look what they lost

Many companies and people lost jobs because of the pandemic that’s what the mps should be looking out for not a badly run football club

 

 

 

 

Maybe they were fishing in Canadian waters? 
 

Sorry.

If Britton signs for WBA  with  how they are struggling to keep up, that would be off the scale, with them looking for automatic promotion, how would a player that seems nowhere our first team squad turn them into promotion chasers?

Probably more a case of them getting him cheap/free and hoping he turns them a profit in the future. Low risk gamble for them. 

He has to put his health first, ‘tis only a game. I thought he looked like he was really enjoying his football this season. 
Wish him well.

Conway looks a very good finisher imo so for me it's about if he can get those chances. He had 2 yesterday and 1st was very unlucky with the goalkeeper touch. Did everything right and would have passed it into an open goal if the keeper hadn't done so well to get a touch. That's how it appeared to me but didn't have the best view watching on my mobile phone.

So far, it does look like he has the “knack” of right place, right time doesn’t it? I’m really looking forward to seeing him develop. 

You’re scraping the barrel for negative threads now, champ. 

Not sure how anyone walking out of there today could feel anything other than positive. I’ve came out of there before after wins and had mixed feelings. Not today. More of the same please.

I used to play Sunday’s with his bruv Dave.

Bobby Ford - Oxford???  Small lad wasn’t he?

Sheffield Utd as well. Great player. 

After Coventry lost 1-0 to Millwall a few days earlier, she wanted to see them get their comeuppance and obviously had faith in Nige.

That's not good to hear, I only had it in November and was hoping to feel better soon.

As for Nahki, it seems pretty uniform in the Caribbean not to have the jab. I have a holiday booked in Jamaica and am reticent to go as there is a <5% take up on vaccines.

Of most concern for me is my dear old dad has just tested positive at 85. I just hope he can beat it as we younger ones have (haven't called myself 'younger' in a long, long time).

I hope your Dad pulls through and shakes it off, fella.

I think it could be this.

I had symptomless covid in the summer and it took me 4 months to be able to do various cardio to the same level I was before I had it, not impossible that Atkinson could be the same.

I’m still suffering the effects of covid 3-4 months after, very lethargic. I’ve gone from just about keeping up with my lads in the bleep test to barely being able to do the warm up. 

The players not selected for the match day squad will need to top up their work load. Same for players on the bench who didn’t come on or only got a few minutes, they do their running after. Nothing sinister in it at all.

It’s not always an easy thing to leave your captain out... but every position is up for grabs,” Pearson said of why key player Bentley was missing, with supporters suspecting a possible outgoing transfer in the works.

Yes, I have no wish to see Ipswich Town hurt by MA, just that he gets his comeuppance. I really don’t think it’ll be long. 

Pretty much my feelings too. Ipswich are just collateral damage, the house in which Ashton burns to death. 

KP was there. Didn’t catch AW though. 

My “tutors” for college day release, during my 2nd year YTS were Aizlewood and Paul Sugrue. They used to turn up in an MR2, Sugrue in full Pat Sharp dressed as knightrider. They both absolutely loved themselves. 
We knew it was a joke and basically sat in the cafe for most of the day. They didn’t care whether we were in class or not. 

Easy stocking fillers and birthday presents so personally happy to have fresh new kits each season. Seems all part of pre-season now but can understand people preferring a 2 year cycle

Snow White open to offers on the other 6

I’m hoping to see a “win or out” thread. 
Nige seems to respond quite well to them.
