Whitey Grandad

There will be some sympathy on account of the preposterous punishment.

He'll always be Tainted Tonda from now on.

In other words, "we've been spying on the wrong team's training"

It's what can happen when there's a lack of experience in managing the club. Sometimes what's needed is an older head to keep an eye on things.

It's the only thing that makes sense.

It's for my radiotherapy therapy for Prostate Cancer. It's very kind of everybody and I'm deeply touched. It's 'locally advanced' which means it hasn't spread to the bones or lymph nodes so I should be OK. It seems that I caught it in time. Let this be a wake up call to everyone. As the saying goes, it may just be that the purpose of my life is to act as a warning to others. The last few days have been great fun. We have a season in the Championship to look forward to. More games and no VAR. It's strange but after our win last Tuesday I somehow couldn't get excited. Now I know why. I would like that hour that I spent queueing for tickets back though.

It could all have been so easily avoided. "For want of a nail..."

But the season has ended?

It is what it is. I'd love to know the true story about what happened but that will take some time to emerge from the bushes. Enjoy your summer everybody and thanks for all the best wishes. Only one thing to hope for now and that's a thumping Hull win on Saturday.

Stay away from any trees.

Sauce?

Ouch! Thanks for all your good wishes. I've been on the hormone jab now four four months and my PSA is down to 0.42 which is almost negligible. It's amazing that a pellet the size of a grain of rice every three months can change your life. I advise anyone of advancing years to get their PSA checked. That way we might all still be around for the next time we're in the Premier League. .

"Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Thanks, I spat my coffee out there.

Thanks but he opted me for hormones and radiotherapy which starts in just over four weeks.

Reminds me of the surgeon I saw about removing my prostate cancer. He was reluctant to take on my case because he thought I would upset his statistics. Of course that's not exactly what he said but we all know what he meant. And this is a surgeon who loves cutting people open.

What if it's a draw?

Hmm... let's see, The playoffs are a separate competition, you say. Do your regulations also apply to the playoffs then given that there are only two rounds? If so, then what sanctions for transgressions are laid down in your regulations?

We would have got the proceeds from the final which by mutual agreement usually go to the losing side.

You'll miss the first half though.

All Cambridge degrees are Arts Degrees. I read Engineering in 1968 and my first graduation was as a Bachelor of Arts updated a few years later in another ceremony to Master of Arts. It is customary to add the suffix (Cantab) after the BA or MA to clarify the qualification. I guess you missed that bit.

This is what we need. Especially if we can get evidence of Middlesbrough doing it.

If i were him I wouldn't buy any green bananas.

Or that we were the only team doing it?

A photo of somebody who looks a bit like him. His face is partly obscured. Is that really the best picture they've got? Do you think they're the same person? They might be, but you'd need more evidence than just a passing similarity. An admission from the person himself or his employer for example. Or a former colleague and friend who knew he was there.
