Thanks for the messages gents. What a journey for you @Spider. You must really appreciate those simple moments with her even more. All I want is to see the wee guy playing with his cousins and family with a smile on his face. Just spent the nicest 3 hours by his incubator after not being able to see him yesterday. He’s settled today & making good progess. It’s a bloody rollercoaster though & we’re in the ‘extremely premature’ category with him born at 24 weeks & 5 days. He’s a little warrior though. Hand hugs with his Dad this morning, if you can make out his tiny hand. & how fckn brilliant is the NHS 💙28 likes

Not posted on here for a while, as my son is in the u18s. Just to let you know Jules has been absolutely brilliant with these lads for last few years. They're a talented bunch, but Jules has brought them all on. He's ultra positive ultra professional and they all think he's amazing and they'd all run through a brick wall for him. Proper legend.20 likes

After all that, 14 months of stress, anxiety, therapy and probably a couple of bouts of depression too I got good news on Thursday. As I said above, you might not have realised it but your inputs definitely had a baring on the decision to get the test done. I actually referred back to this thread every couple of months to reassure myself I was making the right decision. Time to start living again rather than just existing. Thank you everyone.19 likes

Sadly, you’re probably right. Personally I don’t give a shit. My now 20yr old ‘child’ who was born as my daughter wants to live their life as a male and they’re happier now than they’ve ever been. His happiness is far more important to me.19 likes

Rarely post much about my real world. But just spent afternoon visiting brother in law who is marking off the days in a hospice. Him and my missus hardly spoke in last couple of years due to a silly arguement. Daresay there are people in here with family rows going on. Get them sorted as nothing is a bad as seeing a brother and sister in floods of tears over the ‘lost time’. Fucking horrible.17 likes

I get the sentiment about selling Collins but it's not for me. He's been just about the only bright spark of a terrible season and I know how frustrating he can be at times. He's a fabulous talent at this level. He's spent all season completely isolated with numb as piss stones partners in attack. Stick up in a forward line with a proper number 9 he will be perfectly fine. Remember it's not his job to bowling about takling folk like Kevin Davies. He can beat a man from standing start, find passes nobody else can and pops up with vital goals often from distance too. He's the last player we want to see leave by a hell of a margin.14 likes

My Nana passed peacefully at home this morning exactly two weeks shy of her 103rd birthday. She went out on her own terms, at home with a minimal amount of fuss. She wasn't ill and wasn't in pain, her body finally gave up and now she's at peace. Thank you all for your kind words and support. Chris x12 likes

I saw one where a worker was crushed to death under loaded pallets at the warehouse in Bourneville. It was tragic because he could have been saved but every time he shouted "the milky bars are on me ", everybody cheered.11 likes

In all fairness the whole season has been a fucking shambles. I for one am looking forward to the fresh start with some anticipation. The ultimate blame for this shit show needs to lie at Sharon’s door. She didn’t have the balls to do what needed to be done and resisted so long that it made it impossible for Schuey to do anything with this squad. A squad that the previous management had publically slated as being mentally weak11 likes

He was bang on when he said that to do well in this league you need pace and physicality and we have neither. By design! Because we had people who thought they knew better. It beggars belief what a fuck up Evatt, Sharon and the rest of the set up have made of this squad.11 likes

Can’t remember a player I’ve took an irrational dislike to like I have with McAtee. Everything about him pisses me off. His socks, his shit waddle/jog, fucking no headers, his shit Amish beard. Probably says more about me than him😁11 likes

Why any professional footballer is on twitter or better still reads the comment's is beyond me. Santos on his day was a beast of a defender but those days wained by the second. He was a massive victim of our silly slow tepid build up and him standing on the ball will be more synonymous with his time here than being one of the best defenders in the league. After that play off final the cunts got off lightly. We sold bags of season tickets, sold out most aways and were there with a near full house at start of season. That's what you judge support on not reading some 14 year olds on twitter. The big soft sulky mardy twat.10 likes

Schumacher will have aged 10 years in the past few months. What a shambles of a 12 months it's been from Wembley to today. All the number of fans that have travelled home and away, the millions spent. Complete utter garbage. I hope Sharon realises now in football you have to be ruthless. She let her personal loyalty to Evatt to completely derail the trajectory of the club. She's a fantastic person and saved our club. But her decision to stick with Evatt long past his expiry has simply wasted a whole season of football at this club.10 likes

Skimmed through most of the thread and ive got to say the chap having a pop at GT? Fucking hell, its division 3 and he was easily our best yesterday In fact, id say the defence, matete and the captain deserve no criticism re effort The rest of em offered fuck all so its a tough gig playing 7 v 1110 likes

League two, at best? So you believe he’s basically a non league footballer? As has been said, he’s been picked regularly by successive managers, subject of a 7 figure bid from a Championship club and played admirably out of position at times for us. I’m all for debate and disagreement. And I’ll accept he has ‘technical’ limitations. But the lad is one of the few (if not the only) that sticks his head above the parapet every week and consistently shows for the ball, tries to make things happen and drag the team forward. Totally agree he has a talent / potential limit (I’m sure he knows it too), but give me 11 of him every day of the week. He’ll be here next season and he’ll play a lot of games.10 likes

@London Wanderer we were told our daughter was 99% a miscarriage at the 5 month mark, nurse genuinely said (and I quote because it’ll live with me to the grave ) “it’s a million to one chance of survival” she turns 12 next month.

First half I thought was a tale of 2 halves… of our team. The back 4 looked good, Forino won everything, Johnston was solid, even Murphy looked decent enough and we looked solid an in no great danger. GT had his best half in a long time (and actually his best game in a long time) and I thought Matete looked pretty good too. He carries the ball well, is agile and gets round the pitch but he struggled moving it forwards because of the other half of our team. He’s getting a bit of unfair stick for me based on his lack of options. The front 4 were utter shite. They offered absolutely nothing. Dempsey gets a pass because he’s just coming back from a long injury and puts the effort in. But Lolos, Collins, Tutu and then the worst of the lot McAtee were absolutely fucking woeful. It’s hard for a midfield to look good when they’re your options to try and get it forward. Second half we regressed, but I still maintain that going backwards we looked good and all our issues were going forward. I think it was mickbrown that said about the hatred for McAtee. I’ve got it too, I haven’t despised a player like this for a while. It’s not the fact he’s completely fucking shit, which he is, he really offers fuck all, but whilst offering nothing he prances round the pitch like he should be in the Prem - his attitude is terrible and along with how shit he is makes him very hard to like. Collins is rapidly becoming easy to dislike as well. He’s either Premier League or Pub League and it’s been far too much of the latter recently - he’s also shown previously that he’ll put loads of graft in (despite being one of the biggest fannys in the team) but he’s not even doing that now. He needs a rocket up his arse or he can fuck off with McAtee. We’ve seen how good he can be, and I’d love to see us get that version back in a proper functioning team, but his end to this season is really leaving a sour taste. Finally - Big Dave. 17!!? Surely someone’s read that wrong, he’s fucking massive! I was thinking he’d be at least 20 and even then I thought he’d done well to get in that shape by that age. So glad to hear SS’s words about him, he’s bang on. Big Dave showed more in 20 minutes than McAtee has done all season. He wasn’t just massive, he used his body well, he pinned their centre back, took the ball in, laid it off and won a free kick in doing so - I haven’t seen one of our strikers do that all season. Add to that that he seems rapid and floored their right back, whilst also having a right go at their big centre back, he’ll do for me. Possibly my favourite Bolton player that we currently have 🤣. Loved to hear SS say that he might start him on Monday - he probably won’t but fuck it, give him a go, he will absolutely be no worse than what McAtee will offer. Season’s gone (but I’m still not cancelling the play off weekend hotel just yet).8 likes

He needs the game to be played quicker for sure, and being free to press high up out of possession. The slow, sideways and backwards does him no favours, as he's not as comfortable with the ball as say Sheehan. Played at pace; his willingness to look for early through balls, and chase down balls stands us in good stead. Not sure another player (maybe Dempsey) would have chased the lost cause, that ultimately lead to us winning at Wigan. Out of all our squad, he was the one player that another, higher club bid on. They would not have done so on a league 2 standard player. And he chose to stay. Says a lot about his character.8 likes

The more time as gone, the more I find the utter absurdity in Evatt's whole philosophy, his idea was to get us playing a way that equips us for Championship football. We all know how that's worked out, but the more I see is that each league are completely different beasts. Unless you're an anomaly or got an absurd amount of money (Birmingham & Ipswich) you aren't getting out playing that style of football with less physical players. We need the very best and most physical league 1 players right now, nothing more. We can tackle the Championship when we get there. The likes of Oxford, Pompey and Derby who are not safe but have all had a good go have shown adaptability, bringing in new players to suit the league. Something I'm sure a club our size can do when we get there. Add in the fact that investors will be more willing to back us as a Championship club. As of right now the squad is a mess and completely unbalanced. We have talented players but mostly lacking physicality wise and players that are highly injury prone. No real number 9 that could hold up the ball when we are playing aggressive high pressing teams. Too many attacking flair midfielders, most of which have not made an impact. Lack of wide attacking players due to Evatt's 5 years of 5 at the back. The more you go into it, the more of a mess unfolds left behind from Evatt and ultimately the boards decision making. Saying all of this, there's definitely something to build up, there's undoubtedly talent there, we have a fantastic manager, an unbelievable stadium and fanbase, averaging 22,000 this season nearly. Just need to make half a dozen signings but not players made out of glass, and half a dozen outgoings or so and theres not reason we can't finish 1st next season.8 likes

I do. He’s currently in neo natal care with a long battle ahead just to make it to due date. I’m not sticking up for anyone, he plays the muppet on here sometimes, just like me & you do.

Whether she made an error in keeping Evatt on or not, is nothing compared to the soft arse nature of some of the players' lamentable performances this season. The last one to be focused on. No need for big speeches etc. She's a good 'un.7 likes

read about it this morning, giving Ian Wright shite because he's doing womens football and taking jobs away from women according to her. There isn't a bigger advocate for womens football than him, so she's way off the mark anyway, they've just a had a female journo on talksport who covers the womens game who says she's talking absolute shite as per, IW has never covered a single WSL game, and only covered a handful of lioness games, of which he wasn't even under contract with ITV for their euros she's a poisonous fucking cow7 likes

Whatever folk think of his abilities, effort and commitment are always there. Successive managers have played him regularly, and he clearly possess something that they appreciate and respect. A few more showing his commitment wouldn't go amiss.7 likes

For me, that's his best interview. He's protected the players before, rightly so, but he's called them out and said it as it is. Evatt also had a pop, and rightly so at times, but he managed to do it in a bit of a snidy manner, and was averse to his own failings. Really liked this interview: him saying the group has been accused of being soft before, and acknowledging that they are now. He was clearly livid, and I hope he has ripped them a new one. I liked the bit about forgetting the playoffs as we essentially don't deserve it, and they're not playing well enough to win them. Give the young kid a go, leave the Cardiff lad out, as he won't be here next season, and maybe give SSA a go in midfield. If some of the first team regulars can't be arsed then don't play them. Have them looking over their shoulders, and thinking about their own attitude. Good stuff SS. I don't think he going anywhere-but some players clearly will be.7 likes

Right, for all the problems with the squad, the injuries piling up and our continuing lack of bottle, it’s game day and blind positivity has returned. Bolton 2-0 Wycombe. Huge result with Collins finally producing and Forino having a brilliant game at the back to put the Barnsley result out of mind. Reading lose, we’re back on level points for 6th and it’s a 3 game shoot out. I’m not cancelling my hotel for play off final weekend just yet!7 likes
