Shelves can go bare just from people buying a bit more than usual, or earlier than usual. Or a handful of loons. They're big items that take up a lot of space, so it stands out more too. Can't find hand sanitiser anywhere, but you don't notice it unless you're looking for some, as it's a much smaller item. But if you've seen people stocking whole trolleys of it, fair enough. Those people are morons. I can understand buying enough to last you a month or so (I don't have a family, so storing that amount for just me is easy) in case there are stocking issues after towns get locked down, but to buy insane amounts of it and forget that you need food in order to shit...

So those photos of trolleys full of the stuff, not just outliers that found their way into the media? You've seen a fair bit of it yourself? Over here I've only seen people getting one or two packs so far.

I reckon they'll find a use for it as...toilet paper. Gotta shit some time.

None of those defeats were more humiliating than Trelleborgs though. Amoruso was a total snail. Tough and great in the air but couldn't run. However, I still remember him bizarrely beating Michael Owen in a foot race once and wondering if I'd briefly slipped into an alternate dimension.

Sorry, why are you bringing up this total embarrassment of a result? Did my best to forget the whole thing happened. That said, I've just watched it anyway lol. I don't think I've ever seen a goal live a more charmed life.

Good point, and content for a point means shutting up shop, something which we frequently fail to overcome. If they come for a win they'll be more expansive and open to getting buttfucked by Arma and Rothwell's pace.

A few clubs monitoring Tosin. 20 million speculated fee.

Christ, you've got some memory, remembering the names of up to seven youth team players from 1958 who never made it!! Fair play!

See, you say they're distinctly average, but again, there are only two teams in the league with a better home record, and we are at their place. So again, why are they there for the taking? Being given the runaround by a team that would give pretty much every team in this league the runaround doesn't really answer that. Having 'nothing' to play for didn't stop them beating Sheff Weds 3-1 away last week either. Aside from the two home games against the league leaders, this is theoretically the hardest game we have left. I don't expect a win.

Why are they there for the taking? Third best home record in the league.

Bizarre logic that anyone deserves success because they belong to a large group of like-minded people. By that rationale (which is a generous word to use for it) Manure deserve to win the league every season and we didn't deserve a damned thing in 95 or 2002. Hell let's just have an attendance-off each year and forego the actual football matches. Absolute bollocks. You only deserve one thing - whatever you earn on that pitch. Newcastle fans have actually shafted the club on a few occasions by having zero patience and hounding managers out. There was a lengthy period where they simply couldn't get any stability because managers changed too often due to fan pressure. Too greedy for immediate success. They seem to have a better understanding of their place these days.

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2020/march/lewis-links-up-with-fylde/ Lewis Thompson off on loan to AFC Fylde. Seems a stranger one than Vale, given he's a bit older, Fylde are a worse team than Barrow (battling relegation from the same league) and we are weak at left back. But experience of mens football is experience of mens football.

Any interest is a surprise.

Been starting to think similarly, that we need to start getting wins pronto. In theory I should be fairly relaxed, as we are only 3 points off and that can turn in a weekend. But I've been looking at the fixtures to come, and the home and away forms of the teams in question, and I'm thinking if we can't get wins soon we risk falling too far behind. Only 4 home games left, two of them against the best two teams in the league who also have the two best away records. Another is Bristol, who have the 4th best away record. The other is Reading, 10th in the away table, just above us. It's likely to come down to what we can do away in those 6 games. Derby first, who have the 3rd best home record. Also Cardiff to come, with the 6th best. Millwall with the 9th best. Then Barnsley (23), Wigan (22), Luton (17), all thankfully a bit more gash at their own grounds. We have the 7th best home record, 11th best away. Anything can happen on any given day, but I'm suspecting when the season ends we are going to really rue not getting any wins from those last 3 run outs we had.

I mean, to each their own and all that, but I didn't need to know!

Wow, this inconsistency really has been rampant lately. In a way this only makes me reflect even more on how much of a missed opportunity it has been though and how lucky we are to still be in the race.

A pie for a pound? Did you advise Tony Mowbray in the transfer windows on what player's fees and wages should be these days?

Yes, there were. Maybe he saw some fan saying we didn't need him, or there were negotiations and somehow something offended him at some stage. Alternatively, he's just an enormous flying cockwaffle with the emotional maturity of Donald Trump.

He has every right to try to beat the keeper to that, and when he realises he won't win he jumps up to try to avoid catching Walton's feet. Or may have been trying to block the pass off, which he is also entitled to do. It was maybe a little clumsy, but it's not easy to avoid colliding with someone when you're running at speed and only have a split second to react.

7 million and a squandered season-and-a-half isn't 'unearthing a gem' at this level, even if it works out in the end! Definitely looking brighter lately. Long may it continue and improve.

Mowbray on Graham taking the penalty Pretty much just saying he leaves it up to the players and what happens happens. I think he has said much the same in the past.

Everyone else is busy constantly looking for a pass instead of shooting. Happy to let Arma keep shooting as long as he keeps tucking enough away. The others can sideways pass futilely all day.

All of the time Mowbray is here.

He nearly did too. Shame he smashed that shot so badly, he had played really well. That point is huge. I dont think any of us expected it to come after the day we had. Psychologically I think it makes a huge difference. With Preston losing we have now been very lucky in the last two games to only draw and yet get a point closer each time. Missed opportunities for sure but we are now 3 points away when we started the week 5 away. Crucially we also stopped Swansea leapfrogging us with that late goal. Need to get through that Derby game with something and get Darragh back pronto. Today should have improved Gally and BB's confidence if they don't dwell on the misses, and that could be key (especially since Gally seems guaranteed a starting berth). Graham's decline also shows how much we need the 12 million gamble to come good. We need too many reinforcements in the summer to be able to concentrate much resource on a striker.

Well, he certainly won't be doing...
