Don’t think any player ever played better after an ACL and he’s had two of them. He might benefit from the fact that a year on, he will return to find he’s got a better set of players behind him. I’d stick him in the middle of the three attacking midfielders, wides been a bit of a non event for him. He could be a revelation in that role. If he can’t produce there then move him on. |

I’m guessing they’ll stay put in the Premier as the powers that be will be too frightened to relegate them. It’ll be announced they’ll get a £200 million fine and minor points deduction and everyone will go ‘ooh that’ll teach em’. The bit you won’t hear is they’ll want the tax back on the £830 million of overstated income and HMRC will give them a rebate of £320 million. City get a nice little earner and we all move on. |

As beef and lamb are sold at extortionate prices, on principle, I refuse to buy them unless heavily discounted. Have moved onto pork for a roast dinner, something I considered bottom of the pile as a culinary delight, but Tescos of all people are selling a decent bit of pork at £7-9 for two and cooked properly, with an excellent bit of crackling taboot, is great value. I’m convinced that meat is being deliberately over priced to slowly wean us off and onto plant based replacements so that when AI gets its act together, it can justifiably eradicate all human life as the need for meat, including our very own self’s, has proved itself irrelevant. |

We’re going to need to take the few chances we’re likely to get at West Ham, think this is the game we could risk having him up front. |

Best to treat international qualifiers like pre season friendlies or first round league cup matches, just completely ignore them unless you really have nothing else to do. If the year ends in an odd number, 47 competitive games is more than enough to enjoy yourself. If it ends in an even number, enjoy a cheaper than usual holiday last two weeks of June, nothing to see there and take in the last two weeks of the relevant international competition, that’s all you ever need to watch. Only caution is the holiday discount is not so prevalent these days as more and more realise the futility of group games. |

Reckon we could have achieved our ultimate aim, winning a game with 1% overall possession. Sadly Prince Charles has wrecked that ever happening. |

Seems like they can’t banish them to the EFL as it’s a separate body, and they’re not going to throw them out altogether. Given our £42m fine has essentially hobbled and condemned us to 10 years of bottom half of the Championship, perhaps something that eats away at them in a similar slow fashion should be carried out. Total up how many seasons indiscretions and give them a 12 point deduction for that many seasons going forward. Will stop them winning the title and over time, top players won’t want to go there. |

If there’s any photographic awards going about, that first picture should be winning it. Should put it forward for next years Countryfile calendar, there’s hardly a bird that can fly like that. |

Hope they haven’t stripped him of his 80’s Hofmeister follow the bear persona. This one looks as if he doesn’t like going out at night. |

One of those tackles that could have caused serious injury, I’m surprised we bothered to appeal. He should get a three game ban purely for appalling ball control. |
 | Forum Reply | Singing and chanting. at 18:36 21 Sep 2026
I’m far too busy heading and kicking every ball out of our box. Incidentally I went up front second half and buried Adamsons cross to the back post. We definitely won 3-2 despite what it says in the papers. Why do we only do the Kamara song away from home, that’d be great coming from three sides of the ground. |

We’d do well to get more than 5 points from that lot. We will likely find ourselves on the back foot in four of those five games, certainly first half. Get behind in those like Preston and there won’t be any Lazarus like comebacks. |

Premier insisting 15% of new deal must be sent on infrastructure. That should mean some new design seats that offset the appalling legroom and maybe a bit left over to upgrade the tannoy system in SAR. We shall see. |

Was going as mental as anyone when Smyth smashed in that equaliser, loved that second half. Trouble is, walking out at the end, the reality dawns. I’ve seen that first half performance against utter shite time and again, it’s in our dna. In honesty, many no doubt long term supporters, like myself, fully expected that shit show, it never goes away. Bolton shite, Preston shite, everyone of any calibre smashes them, but not us. At half time those winners who were presented on the pitch must have wondered wtf they were watching, it was embarrassing. That has to stop. Do the same at West Ham or anyone in the top half and it’ll be game over every time. |

Fck me, we’re over the moon getting a 90th minute equaliser against the worst side in the league. |

Great second half, exciting, I get all that, celebrated the equaliser like we’d won the league, done that many times too. Trouble is, we don’t win any leagues, we win fck all, and if you think that was like a win, then we might us well pack up and vote ourselves 15th place for evermore. The first half is what everyone should be concentrating on, if we’re ever going to compete. |
