Re: The Politics Thread

It might be painful for us, short term (although not the disaster some want conjure up), but it'll be even more painful for the EU, and frankly the fifth biggest single interest bloc on the planet (after the western industrial-military complex, OPEC, Big pharma, and tobacco), i.e. European car manu...

Re: The Weather

Don't know what it's like for everyone else but here the second "mini" beast from the east is worse than the first. Seemed fine at about 6pm last night but by 9pm the car had vanished. Roads that were fine last time are causing problems this time. Maybe it's that there are less cars on a weekend or ...

Re: Will a chilla on the Hilla versus Villa be a thrilla...? Home V Aston Villa, Sat 17th Mar. 5-30.

Bolton can pass! When did this happen?

Villa didn't seem like a top 6 side but they weren't poor. Without those saves from Alnwick and that goal-line clearance from Flannigan that would be a draw or a loss.

Never been so happy to be watching a game indoors.

Re: The Weather

Car wouldn't start, recovery people jumped it and needed a new battery. Had to pick the other half up at about 9.30pm. Having driven out and back previously and now having a new battery I was confident I could at least get out of my drive... "was". Struggled. Turned TRC off and whacked it in second ...

Tierney was a real shame. I think I was at the game he got injured in, surprisingly.

Re: What Car - suggestions please

Yeah. I mean these are basically cars for middle aged/semi-old men like me who want something very comfortable but don't care what it is - (and mothers taking their kids to school who think an SUV means they can do what they like ). Isn't that all SUV drivers!? :D Well another KIA has just gone out...

Re: Providing sexy answers, or a little mesmerised by bigger Bristols? BWFC v Bristol City 2/2/2018 8pm.

It feels a little bit like When LSL was manager and PG was saying how much better the football was. I'd love some pretty football! Might actually go to some games then once it gets a bit warmer.

Edit... probably a bad example, I mean like LSL but hopefully winning games... or pre-BSA.

There was the stat that BWFC has not won a game without Madine since April 2016... before this game. I have not fact-checked that stat, and it may be just in the league, but... wow!

Re: Contract expiry

Any Amos sightings recently? He should be doing something for £16kpw, no? Ken said that whatever he offered Madine would have made him the highest earner at the club. If Amos is on £16kpw then surely it'd be above that. Or, if Amos is technically no longer at the club it would be higher than Pratley...

Re: Providing sexy answers, or a little mesmerised by bigger Bristols? BWFC v Bristol City 2/2/2018 8pm.

Someone said they've been a long ball team for the past 10 years under every manager. It's the only way they can play etc. I didn't notice any speculative hoofs out of defense at all last night... after "20 minutes of training"! One definitely needs a target man if you're going to hoof it down the m...

BN saying £6M for Madine... that was the figure KA said originally, no? I'm guessing there will be add-ons.

Re: Ken Anderson - New Owner (Definitely. For Now ..... )

If I'm reading that right, financially our house is in better order now, than most? Borough, Brentford and Forest are in danger of becoming the next basket cases? I wonder what the lowest ratio in the league is. Does any club spend less than 50% of their turnover on wages? If Iles is right about wa...

What you actually mean is, you can't tw@t long balls from the back at Assombalonga and expect him to win them

Re: Can Santa's sack, help get the Monk-ey off our back? Middlesbrough v BWFC 26/12/2017

It sounds like Ken has noticed that some people are voting with their feet, so I'm curious if/when anything will change. It's possible there is some kind of plan for January. I'm sure there's not the money to buy a big name but there may be some kind of plan, right?
