  1. Bolton have definitely pulled out then, according to their local press.
  2. Exactly what I thought. Seems such a nice bloke.
  3. Always easy to criticise a bloke for an attitude you’ve just made up in your own imagination!
  4. Pretty good for his age. Looking more and more like Barry Cryer though!
  5. Belle and Sebastian of course (c1965). Probably lots of people don’t know that the music act took their name from a French kids’ TV show shown in the BBC.
  6. Quite happy if the price tag puts them off. No reason to sell him cheap.
  7. Sounds like the same song over and over to me..
  8. “Wants to join us”? or “Has put us on his shortlist of clubs who meet his criteria”?
  9. Fascinating how people like to rewrite history and how the bandwagon views change over time. Looking into the history of Benik’s time here, his ACL and the sad death of his daughter, I popped back to OTIB September 2019. LJ had been manager since 2016 and we started the season well. Someone started a thread wondering if LJ could manage in the Prem. Generally, this wasn’t laughed down, and some of his current detractors (eg Robbored) seemed to be pretty approving. The general tone was that, three years in, fans were pleased with him. By July 2020 he had been sacked! [Incidentally Benik’s daughter died in November 2019 while he was injured. I don’t think he appeared again for us until June 2020, so presumably the incident he relates was at least 7-8 months after the event. Not to approve of anybody downplaying his grief, but it can’t have been in the immediate aftermath.]
  10. At least it might get the thread back on course after a dozen posts discussing Maguires selection for England!
  11. Exactly. Hopefully the calendar link will be fixed.
  12. Odd. It’s come up as 15.00 on my calendar.
  13. What’s with the 3pm games on Friday 29 December? Is it a Bank Holiday now?
  14. Not many of those left - especially those on an internet forum!
  15. Let’s start with one of the shambolic clubs at home, before they get organised - say QPR or Cardiff.
  16. Have any U21 games ever been live on terrestrial TV? Is this anything new, signalling declining interest?
  17. Which, in effect, has now been converted into a nice cash bonus, I suppose.
  18. Isn’t Potter the most likely? You can understand why they would not necessarily rely on a novice going forward, despite his short term success. Odd to have given him an 18 month contract though. Perhaps they assumed they were going down?
  19. Are there any terrestrial TV highlights for us non Sky people.
