TheReds

Coventry and Luton were both around 25/1 last season, around 8th in the betting.

I think it will be just as entertaining when/if it is up, as it will be generally cheap and pretty poor to anyone outside of their bubble. The concourse will be quality to see, as I get the impression they are expecting to see a proper concourse (since quite a few go to Ashton Gate for the Rugby, Concerts and been down for their Vaccines) I cannot wait for their reports, I just have a niggling feeling they be just a little bit disappointed. Bring it on.

Great away day on a weekend and stay in Newcastle, I was up there when JET got a perfect hat-trick which must have been about 10-12 years ago.

So you are not talking shite if he gets 9, but you are talking shite if he gets 10? Out of curiosity, why is he called a striker by you if he gets 10 goals in one season but he isn't if he gets 9? He would have got 10+ this season if he didn't get transferred but I guess that doesn't suit. If we use your metric is say Mo Eisa more of a striker than Semenyo, and also more of a striker than Alvarez for Man City (if he doesn't score today he will only have 9 for the season)?

Some people are shopping addicts, should we ban all advertising on anyone trying to sell anything in case someone adds it onto their credit card, overdraft or spend their weekly shop money? Sounds ridiculous, but where does the line get drawn. If you were a recovering alcoholic then it is down to you and you only to stay away from the booze, if an advert is going to tempt you, it is still down to yourself to not go back. Are you never going to go into a Supermarket or shop and look at a can or a bottle again, or should the alcohol not be on display? I used to smoke for about 15 years, and kicked it. Was it easy, hell no, but I wouldn't blame an advert for B&H if I went back to it. My mate was an alcoholic for years and kicked it, he wouldn't want anything banned regarding alcohol as he knows it is up to himself to stay away from it, but he wouldn't want any advert banned.

Al Quidi has already sourced that with another loan from Nationwide Finance.

I wouldn't worry, I am sure he would have got them under contract to show it about 25 times (today).

I couldn't understand why they just seemed to wanted to kick it as far as they could and hope they would hang on, and that last clearance was one of the worst you'll see. They got what they deserved in the end.

Brilliant, what an absolute belter. He will surely never live that down now, and no doubt he will be showing up to the final (being a proper fan)...

I don't think you are meant to mention clubs that have failed when they have thrown money at it, or mention clubs that were doing better than us, who have then got themselves in a terrible mess by throwing money at it, and even got relegated - these clubs simply don't count when it comes to comparisons with us and Lansdown. This argument only works one way when it comes to "Lansdown needs to go" or "Lansdown is clueless". You need to find a club that has done exceptionally well (one who has done a lot better than us), so someone like Brighton, and then simply claim we should be them because they have done it, but you CANNOT mention Reading, Wigan, Bolton, Derby etc etc. That's the rules on here....

Is he meant to be coming in to solve all of our problems as I am not sure anyone is actually saying that? What if he comes and assists a fair few goals, what if he helps Pring create more assists with link up play, what if he helps cover Pring and we concede less goals, what if he helps improve a few youngsters as well.

I'm lost, you say he isn't a 5-10 goalscorer we are looking for but in the same post predicts he will get 7?

I guess the opposition would simply pull up 100s or thousands of games where xG has been wrong and say you have no evidence whatsoever that holds water. If that is their defence then they really are taking the pee, or the lawyers are taking the pee out of them. This will cost them massively in the long run, and deservedly so.

A few pop up wallpaper pasting tables with a tablecloth on, and jobs a good 'un.

You could say that about the huge majority of clubs though. Would anyone miss us?

They will claim that is the equivalent of an American Basketball sought after "courtside" seat...

Well if everyone knew it wouldn't be a secret... Always trust anyone who has a name/handle with "secret" and also "DeAlien". Names you can trust.

Notts county may not be going up after getting 107!

Unlucky Derby

What a day for him

How has Lee Hendrie got a job with Sky (or anyone for that matter)? Goes over to his game at the start of play and he says "They have literally just kicked off" the tv screen then goes over to the actual game and a huge 1 min 25 seconds on the clock and then he says "It's end to end here Jeff". Over to him again "It looks like this goal is going to be chalked off", goes over to the game and they show a replay and the scorer doesn't even celebrate as the flag is up and knows he was offside.

This one?

Will it be as good as the Gas open bus tour a few years ago though.

What was this? Only asking as a load would have went to a funeral yesterday in Rovers shirts so it could well have been the wake (up the Legion in Kingswood after the funeral)

Again, I am unsure what 50 years ago has to do with what is happening now. Disappointed with the defence, Atkinson is just in his second season at this level, Kalas was a huge miss alongside him? Naismith a new signing playing there, Vyner was written off by the majority and has been superb overall, Pring has improved massively and also looks superb. Yes there has been mistakes (what team doesn't make them), but to think with the players available at the start of the season and throughout the season we should be doing better is a bit naïve imo, or you have some sort of agenda. I would think if you have been going for 55 years you would have a bit more reasoning to what has happened. You think we should have kept Webster, Brownhill, Kelly and Semenyo, and I'm guessing Scott as well now? As for parachute payment clubs plucking our best players, isn't that exactly what we do when we sign players from lower leagues, should we be stopped from doing that? I'm afraid that is how football works. I'll leave it there as this thread has been taken over. I hope you aren't as disappointed next season.
