@ Clive Hurren Great intro. You've certainly set the bar high. After yesterday's performance - sputtering to say the least - I think that MC has to...
@peter-surtees Very much how I feel. I have admired the range of young talent brought in to complement the kids rising from the academy. We could b...
Not much sense in going to Sheffield United. They'll be straight back down again. UTB
Can one expect more from Steve Gibson. I'd prefer us to strive for the Premier League whilst also operating with some financial logic - as evidenced ...
Sensible option. Get him off the payroll for a year with an option to cash in or take him back. Not every player can work out.
Question for all bloggers. Now that we are starting the season and will have a current section for each game, should we still be posting transfer spec...
@jarkko I'm sure that he would be happy to stay but, if that's the case, what is stopping him from signing. Maybe he wants a three year deal and MF...
@peter-surtees welcome to the forum from over here in Oz utb
@werdermouth worked ok in australia where everything goes backwards.
@malcolm I'm afraid that I must fundamentally disagree with you. Expecting the club to keep on pulling expensive rabbits out of hats is exactly w...
It's looking very uncertain. It looks as if the only one of last year's loanees who might be available will be Ramsey and he's the one who we dont nee...
@werdermouth thankyou
@k-p-in-spain it’s interesting. Some Brits in Oz switch allegiance and others - like me - remain 100% England supporters. Thus, I resent your insin...
@werdermouth apologies to all re the 'rogue code'. When I hit 'Quote' it does always look a bit strange and I'm not sure where to begin my text.
I just spotted that Howson supposedly ‘picked up a niggle’. Has he played at all in pre-season?
@Andy-R A cunning plan. In fact, a plan so cunning you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel Speaking if missing players, where is Howson? ...
What a whirlwind of signings. Striking that several players have chosen MFC over other clubs. utb
It's always a temptation to draw too large a conclusion from limited facts but it does appear as if MFC is moving in a new directon that genuinely cou...
I wonder what colour for the away shirts. There seems to be a lot of turquoise and green around the training ground. UTB
@john-richardson There was a chippy down the bottom of Eastbourne Rd and a really good one in Chipchase Road in Linthorpe. It may even be still the...
me too. I lived in Eastbourne Road a couple of streets away and walked along Norwich Road pretty much every week. utb
@exmil “Martin did you also notice Aaron Ramsey scored England’s second goal, it was a very good game.” I think that it was his brother Jacob who...
@werdermouth i totally agree with you. Garry Lineker may have perhaps misunderstood the resonance of what he was saying but I in no way interpret th...
@andy-r it may also depend on whether Matt Clarke is fit. He has been a big loss as a left footed centre back with a very good track record across ...
By coincidence, I was thinking Ipswich away as well and must admit that it isn't one that I would look forward to. Better to get away from the promoti...
@ken My wife and I were lucky enough to see an open air Carmen in Sydney back in 2016 or 2017 and we enjoyed ot very much. Good voices and an excel...
@ken A great list and thank you for compiling it. Although I now live here in Australia I've remained very much an England supporter but one Austra...
interesting to watch as the club stockpiles talent in the late teens/early twenties. We seem to be building a very strong group and, clearly, the more...
@ken great to hear from you. This should be a wonderful Ashes series so hang in and there and enjoy it. all the best
