It seems that Cameron Archer is going back to Aston Villa under the terms of his buy-back clause, possibly with a view to being sold on straight away....
Who would have thought that a home defeat to Leeds on a miserable Monday night could put us all in such a good mood. As suggested by Martin's Guardian...
@deleriad I strongly agree with your analysis. I think that the real decision that any player in a defensive situation is faced with, ...
If we're waiting to be put out of our misery, it looks like we're going to have to wait a little bit longer.
@jarkko As I'm sure you've already learned over many, many matches that, if you're looking to hone your English skills beyond their alrea...
@lenmasterman I must admit that I hadn't noticed Powmill's COTS Challenge Update at all. Now that you've drawn it to my attention, I can see that...
From what I've seen of Ayling, he brings a lot to the team. He has an energy, enthusiasm and a strong connection with the crowd. He plays with a smile...
@exmil Looks like your prediction was spot on. Sorry, Werder, just spotted that you saw the same thing, but quicker than me.
Brilliant starter Clive. You managed to combine all of the interesting, illuminating and fun stuff about the Norwich clash, with the morose, morale-...
@werdermouth I think you put your finger on a key point regarding the loss of Crooks. Since he was not a regular first teamer any more and his inf...
@werdermouth It's taken me a day or two to come to terms with this, but you've really shaken my faith in my prejudices regarding puddings. If...
Thanks for an amazing range of topic discussions on this forum this week. It's really helped me to take my mind off how shocking the Boro were last Sa...
@lenmasterman I cheered too. It's one of the many things that seem to stir up my grumpiness, the older I get.
@clive-hurren That's the most I've laughed since 15:00 yesterday. Thanks to Martin too, for the setup.
I know it took place. You can still get the program. But what if it was it was really 10 - 0 and you've watered it down in your memory 🙂
@clive-hurren Of course Clive, how could I forget 7 - 0 . It's so much easier to bring back to mind when it's totally undocumented
@exmil In my version of alternative reality, I was kind of assuming we could somehow pocket the entire £128. I wasn't pushing it a bit. I was pus...
These discussions about our aspirations till the end of the season are really fascinating and expose one of the conundrums that being a football suppo...
News just in from the Red Sea......
Maybe the Red Sea is looking a bit shallower in parts
@clive-hurren Ouch! Yes. The analogy stretches a bit painfully too far for comfort.
Well having seen today's line up, if we were hoping for a miracle before, it's now looking like we're going to need one of at least parting of the Red...
Last night was the most graphic example yet of having a team full of willing goal creators and providers, but no time-served goal takers. Lots of effo...
Looks like a strong team on paper. As they say, shame it's played on grass.
Well, that's got me suitably fired up, Clive, full of appropriately calibrated bile and grudge. I'm taking our eldest granddaughter for her first ta...
@werdermouth I think you're right about the lack of pace at the rear of midfield. I wonder if Bangura could be moulded into a defensive midfielder....
I'm not sure it's the case that the players don't have the skills to play out from the back. It may turn out to be true for some in the long term, but...
As Gary Neville pointed out, they're never going to stop playing out from the back - they're just going have to keep figuring out how to get better at...
If fan noise counted for anything, we'd be through already
@k-p-in-spain I'm sure you'll have some spare time to catch up with your jobs this evening. There's not anything special happening this evening is ...
