@original-fat-bob You don’t succeed in business without making some difficult decisions. You can’t get them all right but in my experience, on balance...
@boroexile I’m conflicted on this one, particularly because (this Forum excepted) the standard of public discourse generally is dreadful. I’m prett...
I wonder, when Iheanacho first started his career, whether one of his dreams was to play for Middlesbrough. I somehow doubt, when he helped Man City w...
This article about playing out from the back seems prescient: I haven’t seen the highlights from yesterday (we’re there any?) but I’d be interest...
I’m in the camp of those who think we should stick with MC for at least the rest of the season. For me, @werdermouth speaks a lot of sense (as alwa...
If MC has to go, I’d rather have almost anyone other than Dyche. There must be someone else out there. Weirdly, if we win our game in hand, we’re s...
@werdermouth Brilliant - just what we needed after last night’s debacle. Well done on another superb example of wordsmithery. Crikey, the standard rem...
I’m inclined to think that last night’s aberration was to a large extent the result of perfect tactics by our former manager. Their players were “at...
Tonight was a massive disappointment - not because we lost but by the nature of our performance. Nevertheless, I don’t think now is the time to change...
And just like that, we’re down to 9th. I think we need to acknowledge that Sheffield Utd were just better than us tonight - we desperately need a wi...
I can’t work out what result we want from tomorrow’s WBA vs Blackburn game. Is a draw any good in the long run or are we better off if Rovers lose?
An interesting article from the Guardian about Reading FC. Sometimes we should think about how lucky we are to have SG.
@forever-dormo “@martin-bellamy - I wouldn't put your money on it let alone mine!“ - me neither, as it happens!
@k-p-in-spain Agreed - it’s definitely an opportunity missed. It wouldn’t have taken too much of an improvement for us to be secure in a play off plac...
@forever-dormo Here you go: IMG_1926.jpeg
@paulinboro It definitely could be - but there’s a way to go yet. I won’t be having a bet by the way!
@paulinboro Here are some odds for you.
@gt I accept what you say about coaching and recruitment, but we’re talking about professional footballers here. Surely, their self respect should h...
@original-fat-bob That’s a great insight - we never really know what’s going on in the background do we?
A brilliant summary of where we are, @Selwynoz Thanks for a greater starter and injecting some realism as well as positivity into the Forum. My fea...
@forever-dormo I guess I’d take that scenario too, although if we’re planning long term (somewhere towards your 10 year option), then how important i...
@forever-dormo I hear what you’re saying, but I’m still unsure about the benefits of enduring a thoroughly miserable year in the EPL, just to acquire ...
@k-p-in-spain What next? Another season in the Championship I guess. One where we flirt with the playoffs, win a lot of games, lose quite a few and dr...
@forever-dormo Wise words. My time of feeling miserable for days after a defeat is long gone. It doesn’t mean I don’t want us to win, it just means I’...
@chris-from-barlby I’d agree with that. Every January seems to more of a disruption than it’s worth.
Not a good evening’s viewing was it? To make matters worse, Mrs B reports that last night’s Historical Society Meeting was the best and most entertain...
@philip-of-huddersfield I think it’s a bit harsh on Giles to ask what he was doing re the own goal. It hit him and went in - I’m not sure there was mu...
@werdermouth I’m giving up a meeting of the Historical Society to watch the game live. It’ll probably turn out to be the best presentation of the year...
Amid all the “excitement” of deadline day, it’s easy to forget that we’ve got an important game later. I’ve no idea what the team will look like, but ...
@john-richardson That’s the best news any of us will get today. Glad to hear you’re feeling a bit more chipper.
