  1. Steve Mills. Would surely have played for England had it not been for the car crash. Was never the same afterwards, and died far too young
  2. Lemina is invisible. Can’t see either Fulham staying up or them wanting him when they go down. Going to be stuck with him. Reed looks tidy but think that we have better now

    This. Great shot stopper, but would have had no problem playing out from the back as we do today as his distribution was so good. 72 is no age nowadays. RIP
  4. This. We live in a soundbite age. Hear a couple of clips and the reaction is that in isolation this is mild stuff. But the point is that he demonstrated over the entire interview that he really didn't get it. And he has previous history of this kind of thing - addressing the same committee in 2017 he described institutional racism as 'fluff'. For someone paid the kind of salary that the rest of us can only dream of he has to do better and therefore had to go. I disagree with Tyrone Mings though. I don't think that the FA should appoint someone black to make a point. They should appoint the best person, irrespective whether they are black or white, as long as they demonstrate that they understand the issue of racism in the game.
  5. To quote WGS “I’m going home now to get myself a Coca-Cola and a packet of crisps and I’ll sit in front of the television and look at the table on Teletext all night.” Top of the league. Amazing. If only for 24 hours
  6. I was at the game against Rangers. Never seen so many drunk Scotsmen in my life. We won 2-0, with one of the goals being an own goal lobbed in from about 40 yards out
  7. Recently started listening to this and thoroughly enjoy it. Good to put on during a walk after work or in the morning.
  8. https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-and-treatment/how-long-to-self-isolate/ 10 days if you have a positive test. I assume it's because you're further through the virus than if you live with someone who is positive.

    Sam McQueen

    Anyone know what's happened to him? Understand he's got a long-term injury but, to me at least, seems bizarre to have bene removed from any of the squads on OS.
  10. Seems a pretty good transfer window to me. The only thing that hasnt got sorted out are the keepers - we still seem to have three of them. Trying to work out what has actually happened. I think that it is the following, but happy to be corrected IN (Permanent): Walker-Peters, Diallo IN (Loan): Walcott OUT (Permanent): Carillo, Boufal, Reed, Hojbjerg OUT (Loan): Lemina, Hoedt, Elyanoussi
  11. Best transfer of the window.
  12. It's called investment. ML bought the club for around £14 million, invested a significant sum when we were in L1/Championship. Then Kat sold up for £200million once we were in the premier league. The Liebherrs did well out of Saints - and so did we as we got back to the premier league. Not sure how Gao putting money into the club would help Gao - certainly wouldnt increase the clubs value much. At least he is not taking money out of the club (as far as I am aware) and the club is reasonably well run now after the debacle of Puel/MP/Hughes/Reed etc. Gao is clearly not interested in the club but at least it is being left alone. The last thing we want is for someone to come in and asset strip the club (Blackpool/Coventry) and we don't have the revenue to support a leveraged sale as the Glasers got away with at United. We are still recovering financially from 2016-2019 - lots of deadwood we are paying massive salaries to. I would be happy for us to survive in the premier league for the next couple of years, by which time the likes of Hoedt, Carillo, Lemina etc will be off the books and we should be in a better place financially to kick on. And at least the football is generally enjoyable now |yesterday excepted)
  13. Appear to be asset strippers on the basis of the previous post. Would hate us to go the same route as Blackpool. Problem is that Gao just wants out and will sell to anyone of the price is acceptable. Just hope that there is some truth in the rumour of other bidders

    Site issues

    Found that getting into the site using IE is really slow, but worked perfectly well with Firefox. Then went into IE and switched off notifications. Hey presto worked really well. Thanks everyone.
  15. Would be tempted to put Beattie on the bench and replace him by Tin Man. Or a pot of yogurt.
  16. I remember that when Fraser Forster signed for us he was a distinct improvement on what we then had, and up until his injury was actually playing really well. And was in the England squad. So at the time the contract seemed like a good idea. The problem was that after the injury his form dipped, other teams sussed out his weaknesses and we ended up with a player on our books who was paid a lot and not playing. I think that previous management made much bigger mistakes than the Forster contract - signing Carillo. Hoedt, Lemina. Elyounoussi to name four
  17. Now a group in Eversley Park, Kings Worthy. Process to get rid of them already started and expect them to be gone early next week.
  18. Could Weston shore up the midfield?
  19. No. She is very quiet
  20. On twitch. Kind of Amazon’s version of youtube from what I’ve seen
  21. Been said but Leeds Away version 2.0.
  22. Perhaps we should sign Jimmy Glass and play him as GK/CF?
  23. My understanding is that he was suspended earlier in the season so the next suspension is for 2 games and not 1.
  24. my new favourite tv channel
  25. You're not the only one. I find the TV obsession with anything to do with Titanic sinking nauseating. As for those who pay obscene amounts for memorabilia words fail me. 538 died from the city. I have seen the map of where they all lived and the concentration of dots in the bottom end of town really does make the point. The impact on the city must have been devastating and it rarely gets a mention. The media keep glamorising it. A disaster in which 1500+ people died wasn't glamourous.
