Armchair supporter supremo

Never thought I'd say this! And tbh I could barely give a 💩 about the England team(as it has become in the last 20 years) But bloody hell just Give Shaun Dyche the England job now they need a real manager

Jeez the state of those footballs though! Really was hit and hope, no acuracy with them at all. Would be fascinating to see how the players of times gone by would have got on with a modern football

Seriously though how much money did hodgson and kidd piss up the wall! The only thing i can say in their defence was that selling clubs just knew we had money and where desperate for players after the dalglish era squad faded away, but whoever was doing our transfer negotiations at the time was shockingly bad. At least the players Dalglish paid big money for where mostly quality and we got our money back when they where later sold

Anyone remember some bloke named Kevin Davies? Only a young lad with very little prem experience, don't think we paid much for him

Possibly, i just remember there was one point where we got a flash of his old quality

thought I did a week or 2 ago via the 'contact admin' link in the thread but no response. not an issue though, just thought it was funny

Just watching the Armie Hammer/Hammer family Doc on Discovery+ Nothing ever really shocks me about what these Billionaire families get up to, think Succession but far more seedy, violent and depraved. Also seen on the news that Adnan Syed was actually realised from prison this week after having his conviction over turned after 20 years, I listened to the brilliant serial podcast years ago and theres a few good tv docs covering it as well, really fascinating story for the true crime buffs, seeing him get released is almost the same as at would be to see the 'making a murder' pair get released (only theres strong evidence that Adnan was genuinely innocent and a decent young person, unlike the trailer park MAM pair!)

I guess this thread is only for select members to join then! 🙄

I do have a vague memory of him scoring one really good goal for us 🤔 EDIT! actually no don't seem find any record of him scoring for us. maybe it was just one good fowler esque shot on goal that just missed the back of the net on one of his few appearances

If BB had have signed a new long term deal 2 years ago before he became BBD very few would have been that happy about it at the time, hindsight is a bugger

Not at all, i thought he always did a solid job!! I just don't remember him being the same type of defender as you do! But my memory isn't always the best, it was a looong time ago

Good pace! Really. Pace is Never something that springs to mind when i think of Sutton You must have watched a lot of Norwich then because there's no way you could judge that from the few cameos he played back there for us

Defenders where still allowed to have a battle and get stuck with real tackles then, plus most clubs still played a lot of long balls and crosses so if you where a big tall tough lad with good heading abilty you where already 2 thirds the way to being a good Premier league cb Sorry ive not read the entire thread though so I'm not sure where this playing Ashley Phillips up front daftness is coming from

I'm pretty sure most fans will have recieved a bit of a boost from reading he's signed a pro deal with us (and not sold his soul to a "big prem club") With results being so inconsistent lately I'm happy for any good news to help keep morale up. P.s. 🥱🥱🥱

Pretty sure most people would still just call it the Riverside anyway regardless... (i know i would) Also at some point for certain in the next 10 years or so! it really will have to be replaced anyway Not sure whT you mean by it sounding soulless though, thats just a bit namby pamby. It's called tge Riverside simply because the river runs behind it, just as people will always call tge darwen end "the darwen end" because it has its toes in darwen

That is absolutely pathetic. That's not even "cheesy nachos" it's half a packet of doritos with about 2 pence worth of (probably fake) cheese sprinkled on top. Please tell me nobody on here paid for that!

Back on track, we really need Wharton and Ayala to stay fit, easily two of the best cb in the league, proper rocks. (hyam is sound as a pound as well)

Gid in

Players I wish we could forget..... Bradley Orr, Danny Murphy, david goodwillie, Anthony Stokes, Shane Duffy... Just from recent memory! Oh and one real cracker of a "Forgotten player" from not really that long ago! that I don't think has been mentioned yet! Grzegorz Sandomierski

Now you have to really ask why certain players never signed new contracts and set their eyes on moves elsewhere instead. Guessing uncle Tony convinced them the grass will be greener elsewhere

Just more proof of what a dead brain cretinous moron mowbray is, honestly JDT could go on to be an absolute failure for us(fingers & toes crossed he doesn't though😅😅😅) but it still wouldn't change how happy I am that tony fkin Mowbray and his stooges are no longer here. Sad thing is there's a large herd of sheep that go to ewood and there's no doubt they WILL still give him a good welcome when he returns. (and he'll be laughing at them all thecwayvback to Sunderland)

I thought this topic was going to be for irony purposes Anything in the aldi or lidl £5-8 range will hit the spot

Give it a few weeks and the media will be ripping Charles to shreds. I think "The Media" just want William on the throne

With some of the things being said on the news it is sounding like we could sadly soon be losing the biggest British celebrity of them all

I didnt realise Wigan had such strong Rovers connections on the sidlines(Richardson, Beattie and Rob Kelly) wonder if that had anything to do with them being the ones to finally offer Nyambe a lifeline
