The Bard

I would hope they'll see straight through that

It's a good idea but please don't pretend you're doing it out the goodness of your heart. The enabling thing is horseshit. He's just trying to maximise his profits that's all. The sporting quarter thing would work without the houses. It just gives the houses greater chance of approval if they're designated as enabling something more sexy.

It's got a massive enabling proposal of houses in Ashton Vale. Anyone seriously thinking that would just fly through planning is utterly deluded.

Some people are clueless Dave.

Perfect description of Ashton there Spud. Will use that in conversation...

Idiotic defending will cost Rangers. 3 of back 4 on yellows already..

No penalty for us at home all season?

Yep. We'll only sign a CB if one of those 4 leave I'm sure. Moore and Baker to leave definitely. Vyner probably leaves if a proper RB is signed.

He was sent to Grimsby for a reason. Didn't want it to be all comfy for him. Loan to Carlisle or Barrow next season...

I assume Nigel Pearson was involved in some capacity? He just seems to have a little bit of ownership with it.

Who appointed Lauren Smith? Serious question. For a comparison, the Bristol Bears Women's coach was appointed by Pat Lam. The 2 games I've seen she was easily the best player on the pitch. Clearly up to playing at a higher level. I guess she'll be in the WSL next season.

Leroy Lita, Tony Thorpe...

We tried that for a few games (Birmingham Home) and it didn't work. Largely because neither Williams or James really shield the defence. If Pack is re-signed it would make sense.

The bloke is probably on about £1500 a week. If we don't think he's worth a new contract than why on earth is he playing now? Only way he won't be here next year is if he gets a better offer or Maybe a decent league 1 side where he'll be first choice.

No he's not a seriously good golfer Harry. He's a complete lying fraud who makes shit up.

He assessed me on a training course yea rd stage. I thought he was pretty good tbh.

There's a brilliant book about Trump and golf called Commander-in-cheat. Bloke is demented

Why would we be confident? He's going to have interest from sides challenging for the play offs for sure. Ones that will probably pay more in wages...

COD or Ian?

I look at the league in 3rds. We're top of the bottom 3rd. If we'd not had the habit of conceding very late we'd have been nicely mid table. So if we can cut that out and maintain our level we should be good for some improvement. However, if we can further lay down our pattern of play and get our midfield and defence functioning better, we'll be more upwardly mobile. A season like QPR or Coventry may be? Contending at least for some part of the season.

23rd April is the day Shakespeare was born and the day he died. His role in our history, and influence on ours and others culture should be celebrated as our national day, not this load of made up horseshit that has zero connection to England.

Jesus, Russell Osman was a liability when he played for us. 2nd goal he's about 30 yards behind the rest of the defence playing them onside. Then 'calls' an offside trap that an under 13s side could have sprung for the 3rd goal

In an ideal world he plays brilliantly but they go down and he goes to a decent EPL side for a decent wedge and we get £3 million or so.

The issue with Klose isn't whether we want him it's whether he wants to be here next season. Anyone who doesn't want him to stay is off their rocker. Clearly having a big influence on the younger CBs either side of him.

Year long loan could be the answer with Palmer, though we will inevitably be paying at least half his wages. Ha
