  1. The official 150th teddy bear has a scarf on, just cut it off it.
  2. It was purely a chance for a get together, swap old war stories with free booze and food thrown in... and a 40 minute kick about. Most of them won't give the club a second thought at any other time, so they certainly aren't going to be calling out whoever it is that happens to be running the club now, fans don't like them? 'well, that's football'.
  3. Amazing how it's only here where managers *turn down* the chance to sign players.
  4. Selling Hyam without a replacement when the remaining centre halves are highly injury prone shows that this is not a serious football club (not that we needed reminding).
  5. Not a lot of positives to getting older, but the fact I can remember a time with players of a slightly higher pedigree than Matt Kilgallon and Gordon Greer is one of them.
  6. A loan for a fella brought in injured and he won’t now be fit enough to start a game *at least* until December… some set up this.
  7. Only BwD schools though, certainly not any other parts of east Lancs, don’t want to step on to Accy Stanley’s territory.
  8. Could’ve put the borough coat of arms on the green one, Maltese cross alongside the rose on the home (or on the yellow). All very quick solutions, instead, as usual, they somehow end up providing nothing.
  9. Sounds like most decisions that are taken down there.
  10. Of course next season we will be back to no shirts at all for months on end.
  11. Standard script with managers that toe the line here, used to always hear ‘getting up to speed’ nonsense from TM too.
  12. Not incredible to me, just standard for a lot of fans, they live in a team only bubble .
  13. You just need to understand a big percentage of match goers, they by and large aren’t interested in ‘off the field’ stuff. They just want to ‘get behind the club’. They see a manager that left for a club in a similar position in the league and they can’t comprehend it over ‘well, he’s greedy, boo, hiss 🐍!’ They don’t put two and two together as to why so many players and managers want to get away, they are just ‘disloyal’. They furthermore see dissenting chants as also not ‘getting behind the club’, though in reality that is what the dissenters are doing as we are the club and want better for it instead of meekly accepting this regime’s downsizing of it.
  14. ‘The club’ being Rudy Gestede, Suhail and the Rao family. Obviously people that deserve blind allegiance.
  15. Our next game is on the 21st November, so well into the season, we are sitting in 19th because we deserve to.
  16. No, quite right they were not literally waving them in the dugout
  17. Well if Theo Walcott says so!
  18. Wolves will have a bigger Championship budget than Middlesbrough, so a sound footballing decision, plus gets a big pay rise and moves back home too - all in all a very sensible career move.
  19. To be fair you denounce the opposition as being dirty (and the refs not noticing) every week - maybe that’s just the game and we need to get with it.
  20. ‘No chance’ with this set of players? We certainly do have a chance as it is a finely balanced league, it comes down to small margins. What makes the difference? How about, say, poor managers or small squads that have an increased number of inexperienced Championship players.
  21. Definitely on track to succeed on that, bonuses all round.
  22. Sums them up that the green shirt that is matching the borough’s colours (and they made a right song and dance about the link in the comms) didn’t have the coat of arms on it when released.
  23. Do you think what Gestede et al are trying to do will succeed? Though not sure what ‘success’ is supposed to be here? Not being in the third division?
