Northern Red

I assume it's to try and get as many people there as possible?

Was on the telly.

Based on how this usually goes, I'd be willing to bet my mortgage on the person responsible being foreign and Akpom's goal having ruined an acca.

Obviously got something about him although it's a huge risk for both parties. Though based on Stoke's recent track record of struggling with otherwise reasonably successful, competent managers, his time there probably isn't as much of a black mark as it otherwise might be.

Southampton-bound, it would seem.

Oldham have had years of mismanagement. That isn't going to be fixed in a few months.

Neymaaaarrrrrrr

Matty James was 29 when we signed him. Hardly "last payday before retirement" material.

Chateauneuf du Pape!

Grimsby putting 5 past Plymouth is a bit of a turn-up.

On Tuesday the performance didn't matter, it was all about the result. Today the performance does matter. Funny that....

Thank **** for Stokes because the rest of the middle order lost the plot.

The last bit of that article mentions the hotel at the ground, I suspect it's more likely to be their share of that.

I don't doubt your intentions or wishes for the team. However I'm not sure "realists" really fits for people who've been predicting that we'll be relegated every season for as long as I can remember, certainly since we've been back in this league.

If the attitude of the OP throughout this thread is anything to go by, I think we can probably draw conclusions as to why someone may have been minded to put in a complaint about their behaviour, and also why they may not have wanted to approach them directly to ask them to tone it down.

I just hope that the management and players have more confidence and stomach for the battle than some of the perennial doomlords on here, or we really are in the shit.

Bangladesh were batting. When they resumed after the rain break their batsmen slipped over while trying to run off the first 2 balls, the second one leading to a run out.

Slipping all over the place, yet it's safe to play... Can't have India going out early now can we?

I wonder what the mood amongst the "performances don't count for anything, it's all about results" crowd would be if we'd been battered in the last 2 games but scabbed 2 1-0 wins? I suspect I know the answer. At least be consistent lads.

I saw one person saying it. Plenty of others have said it was no worse than Norwood's, which should have been a red also. That's not the same thing.

I'm not sure anyone has said otherwise.

Klose was on the bench so presumably he'd be okay.

Had a senior role (I forget which one) the FA a few years back.

Be honest though, you've had that opinion for each of the last 7 years since we got back into this league, haven't you?

This is exactly it. He needs minutes and rhythm to look better but doesn't contribute enough to justify more minutes than he's getting. Vicious circle.
