wakey

for a bloke who writes so much bollocks, he managed to nail the truth in one line

how will I cope

bloke's having a breakdown

exactly this. Stephenson and the Spaniard can both play further forward, Stephenson has played in centre mid for Dundee, Christie offers cover at CB.

does putting folk on ignore count as cancel culture or just general snow-flakery

plus our 'board observer' is basically some kid who works for him who'll attend board meetings and report back to the boss. Not sure I'd enjoy that if I was Sharon or the other directors. All seems a bit odd at this point - and very 'off-brand' for Sharon - but I'm sure we'll find out more in due course.

difficult to judge either under today's circumstances, but I've always liked the look of Inwood.

I'll revise that ... Sheehan good, Gale looked lively and probably our main threat - plus nicked the ball back a few times. French lad had a promising start, but nowt came off for him after that. Stephenson looks defensively solid, can't remember last time I could say that about our RB, as did the new lad at LB. Decent enough run out.

opinions eh. Sheehan's been decent and our wingers have looked lively so far - even if it's not come off a couple of times for the French lad. I reckon you'd 'identified the issues' before kick off if I'm honest.

Decent enough half for a pre-season run out. Hopefully get another 15-20 mins before the wholesale changes start.

Come across more as property developers than owt else (and given the Trump pardon, dodgy ones). Managing to keep my excitement comfortably contained for the time being.

he'd had a pretty big haircut pre play offs. looks like him.

we? 😉

valid point. plenty imports struggle in their first season.

wankers

and the Argies at egg chasing

stop stalking me, weirdo

Have you read Voices of Victory by Geraint Jones? If not, I reckon you'd love it. Covers the period Feb - May 45 and the push into Germany compiled from interviews with vets. Loads of stuff on tank regiments, possibly mentions your old man's.

10 minutes after he was stretchered on.

Belgian pal of mine summed up his neutral opinion of England a few days before the semi. In his view we have very good players but no style of play. Couldn't disagree. My lame response was "but I think we've more to come in this tournament, we'll be better when we face decent opposition". I'm currently avoiding him for a few days.

He's nowhere else to be. Might just be doing him a favour.

I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy

there seems to be one common thread you posted a lengthy missive then ended it with "but I don't care". T responded to another poster to say I also didn't care and demonstrated my lack of interest by not writing lengthy posts. If you take that as hounding you because of some age old vendetta I'd suggest forums aren't the place for you. and a point we can both happily agree on, although I'm sceptical that you really mean it. I'll disagree or take the piss out of your posts in exactly the same way I would with any other posters, but if you want to think it's down to some old grudge then crack on.

I'm not, you big paranoid fanny. You can't cope with any piss take / criticism of your posts without reverting to "you're all out to get me". It's a forum - get over yerself.
