Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

First "proper" rumour of the summer is George Byers, who just left Sheff Weds on a free after a loan at Blackpool. A midfielder who used to play in Swans' U23s with Josh Sheehan. Quite a few games in the Championship, but with a history of niggly injuries. Played a major part for Wednesday in League...

Re: Tooling up: The summer 2024 transfer thread

He'd have 'proven himself' unable to get out of this division... not sure it would create a queue at the door. Yeah, but he'll have admirers. If we don't go up we are almost certain to lose key players and may require a genuine rebuild. I'm really not sure Evatt will fancy it. If that were the case...

Re: Rising in Wembley's Glow: A Bolton Wanderers Tale - Bolton vs Oxford. 18th May 2024, 4.15pm

Well, given that my birthday falls on the weekend of the final I've given myself a couple of weeks off to enjoy myself. I live over in Yorkshire, but there's a local old chap and his wife who "follow" Wanderers and have family in London and weren't going to go due to travel, so I'm taking them down ...

The context of what Dion in a slump is doing relative to other players is important.
Na, it was just an ignorant dig. At least own it.

If you've watched Dion and Vic recently and think Dion has played as well as Vic fair enough. It's absurd, but what can anyone say at this stage?

Re: There's a Moose loose about these U's, Cambridge United Away 6th Feb 2024

Not going tomorrow as it's Mr Ghost's birthday and apparently a late away day at Cambridge doesn't count as a "nice night out." All this "Dion or Vic or Collins or Bod" stuff is grand, but ultimately they're all good players and can all play together. The manager has to decided which pairing is most...

Re: Alas poor Yor(i)k, I knew it well. Home v Barnsley, Sat Feb 3rd, 3-0' clock.

We were dire for a lot of that. We set up expecting the "new and improved Barnsley" and they played us like it was the play-offs. We were better for a short spell at the start of the second, but then fell to pieces. Only real positive was that the subs had a genuine impact. Tie it off and move on. W...

WRT social media, life works the way you choose to let it. Social media is not compulsory.
Try telling that to professional footballers whose kids get beaten up at school because of stuff written about their dad online.

Sorry, but you're well out of it here.

Re: Alas poor Yor(i)k, I knew it well. Home v Barnsley, Sat Feb 3rd, 3-0' clock.

Didn’t see it but I hear the right-back they brought on as substitute gave away the penalty for the equaliser and the free kick for the winner. Oops. Yeah, it won't be pretty for him either. Some really tired defending, which you can understand as Korea kept hitting the space around him and forcing...

Hadn’t seen any animosity from their fans - they not appreciative of Geth?
Said he was the worst player ever to play for Australia, they wish he'd chosen Wales, hoped his injury was bad, that sort of thing.

I was hoping he'd go and win the tournament but I'll be glad he's back Gutted for Geth, to be honest. Would have loved him to have that on his CV and as a life experience. However, their fans have been dicks and with him they probably win that match. Both goals came down his side and Korea were as ...

Fair play. That was a superb double save.

Baxter would have tipped the first one away from danger, though.

Thought Baccus was pretty impressive again. Always offering a passing option, aware of danger and willing to run.
