One man’s nostalgia is another man’s history book 😄 I love hearing these stories 😀

This thread from OwlsTalk from last year when wages first stopped being paid rings a few bells. Whilst they are you’ve no chance with such folk, so forget them. https://www.owlstalk.co.uk/forums/topic/337986-chansiri-fan-boys/

I am.

Tophat club.

This is why we aren’t going to get rid of the owners.

Glad we did our bit for the record goal tally in this year's third round.

they get commission of anything where money is involved

Do agents get commissions on loans?

There would have been some lovely commission with that deal though, and that's all that matters at this club.

We can't spend a bit more in wages because we have self-imposed a stupid 10k pw wage cap. It came in this summer, so you won't see a Dennis style wage splurge again, even on a loanee I'd imagine. Was Woodrow a relatively large wage? Christ that's even more mystifying why we ever bothered. That's not a hindsight thing either, his goals record was absolutely atrocious for a few consecutive seasons before he came. He had just come off the back of 3 goals in his last 66 league appearances! Or 7 in his last 94 if we want to make it look more 'generous'.

Well he's fit now and he cost us nothing but hey why keep an instinctive developing young forward on peanuts when you can get rid and bring in an AI stats signing.

We had him around. He was hardly ever out of the treatment room.

What i gleaned from today more than anything is there are no goals in our young forwards who all struggled with the step up despite working hard. I fear they like a lot of others are being judged on running stats rather than footballing ability. Now if only we had a lad around the place like that young Leonard at Peterbrough !

Just watched the “ highlights “ . The breakaway towards the end were Baradji plays in the young winger. The kid seems to be trying to set himself up for a left foot shot when it’s crying out for a right foot shot. These “ inverted wingers “ are doing my head in.

Maybe it's because they have to bypass those in the middle who filter information back to India to serve their own purposes.

I thought he was off corrie 🤣

I think I went down by the special train they put on for that one. I remember getting ready to leave when we pulled a goal back only for Derby to go up the other end and score another. Another Rovers team that lacked a decent striker.

A poor game but it was good to see the youngsters come in and do a decent job. Another impressive performance from Baradji who looks a class act. With a busy month ahead I thought Val did the right thing in resting players. The one good thing is the QPR game should now be a 3.00pm kick-off - at least until Sky get their hands on it.

The Kills - Fried My Little Brains

Sometimes I think I watch a different game to some on this board. Baradji is a quality footballer who is getting to grips with recovering from injury and playing with some of the dross we signed in the summer. If he is being made permanent then bravo to whoever is making that decision.

Significantly for us, it has no ending either!

We have no forwards, so we don't score.

The Five Monkeys Experiment (which apparently never actually happened…).

I watched Nigeria v Algeria yesterday. It was like they were playing another sport entirely.

We will see !
