He’s announced he’s been diagnosed with bowel cancer.
Really liked him down here back in the day, & I was lucky enough to interview him for the hospital radio station I was with at the time when I was a teenager. Was great with me as well to be fair to him.
Needless to say, wish him & his family all the best. |

Yeah it’s different strokes for different folks mate.
Just a shame about the performances this week. Let’s just hope the Swans can carry on where we left off before the break, & maybe we can actually enjoy this season a bit lol |

Well i don’t like my country losing either, especially when it’s as poor as it has been this week, and I find losing at international level horrible, but won’t stop me watching & wanting us to be competitive and relatively successful.
I still disagree that this competition is meaningless, but at the same time if you think differently, then that’s your prerogative of course. This competition has helped us to qualify in the past, so for a country like ours, it’s pretty important I think. |

It’s not meaningless though is it. We’ve already had a World Cup play off through our nations league performances, plus if we did ok in this edition (we clearly aren’t going to of course, but that’s not the point), it would help our seeding for the next euro qualifiers, plus almost guarantee a euro finals play off if we mess up qualifying, which is doubly important as the finals are being held over here. That’s pretty important as far as I’m concerned.
I want to see my country in major tournaments, and also I want to see them do well in this competition for the reasons mentioned. |

He may not have had his best game today, but he’s one of the first on the team sheet for me.
Leaves everything on the pitch & is a credit to the shirt.
Is he perfect? No. But who is.
Look at Manning. Superb going forward, not the best defensively, yet the fans were chanting for him to stay when they knew he wanted to leave.
So unless he’s struggling fitness wise, or has a serious dip in form, then I’m always happy to see him on the pitch. |

3 points, & 3 goals. Not perfect by any stretch, but this is the championship, and we’re not going to get perfect every game. Lucky not to concede more than one, but then we could have had another couple ourselves including a clear penalty. Good bounce back after Tuesday.
On to Sincil Bank. |

Seems a lot of the Wycombe fans thought he needed more time, & that they have more beef with the board than anything else, but I suppose two clubs and two dismissals since he left here kind of speaks for itself. |

You’d like to think he made that decision because he got mullered in the head by that coin thrown from the crowd, but we all know he would have given that penalty anyway.
Worst ref I remember seeing was that league cup game against Scunthorpe down here in ‘09.
They were kicking absolute s**t out of our players, yet we ended up with 3 red cards I think it was.
Pretty sure we finished the match with 7 men. 3 reds and used up all the subs when Dobbie got absolutely smashed. Can remember fans waiting outside for the ref after the game as well lol. |

Nope. Not a derby for me. However, I really want to beat them because of the whole Reynolds/McElhenny sky commentary b******s, & how entitled their fans have become.
Biggest club in Wales my arse. |

Yes Millwall are poor, but Wrexham dealt with them as such. I still think it’s a big test for us on Saturday. I hope you’re right about not giving them space, because that lump they’ve got up front has caused us problems in the past, & seems to have started the season pretty well. |

Exactly this. At least he didn’t down tools and refuse to play, much like most seem to do these days.
Absolutely gutted, but I wish him well. |

Yeah he’s saying we’re playing a highly risky financial game without checking any facts or figures, yet they all start moaning that they can’t do the same.
Funny how they can’t see why players coming here is a more attractive proposition than going there, yet they keep on berating their inept ownership, hence answering their own question, notwithstanding the two clubs comparative on-field success in the last 15-20 years.
In the main they’ll only see & believe what they want to see and believe, & most of it is complete b****cks. |

Yes you’re right. It really is difficult for all manner of reasons.
My mum & dad have helped me & my partner so much over the years, that I feel it’s the least I can do back for them.
As I say, you’re right. Mentally it’s very challenging, but of course like most of us, we do anything we can for family and loved ones. |

I don’t get to as many away games this last few years, as I’m a carer for my mum & dad who are elderly and have a lot of health issues, but I’m going tomorrow.
My last four away games spanning almost 2 years were Coventry, Oxford, Plymouth & Blackburn (only Blackburn was last season, the others the season before).
We won 2-1, 2-1, 2-1 & 2-1. So I’m going for 2-1 tomorrow 🤣 |

Funny really. I can remember going to an FA Cup game against Oxford down the Vetch in ‘92 I think it was. Looking at the attendance in the evening post the next day it said it was something like 5,500 there, & I thought that was a big crowd at the time.., which I suppose it was really, as I think we averaged about 3,500 at that time if memory serves. Funny how it’s all changed from those days. |
