Don’t you go go most home games anyway?

As the owners will be.

Yes, you do - Filan, good keeper, ‘hadn’t done anything wrong’ . We then signed Friedel, and that was that.

For something different for her career, her coaching and CV, for lifestyle, for money (oh and it is a proper football country in the women’s game, and it has been for far longer than it has over here).

I certainly don’t think they are ‘bent’, however it seems to me that unconsciously there is an inherent bias towards the elite clubs. Don’t know if it’s the spotlight, the crowd, the managers, social media pressure. But it’s there.

It’s what happens when you have under 9,000 ST holders. Nothing we can do about it until we get a CEO that is willing to get real on prices (or a promotion, obviously).

You drop him because you have a better player in the position (presuming JDT thinks he is a better keeper). That’s what good teams and ruthless managers that want to improve them do.

The media love a narrative. PL winning captain at City, now it’s ‘master v apprentice’. Look at Wrexham for another.

An actual Ewood Sky game on a Friday for Leicester… the very odd eight *year* gap since the last one is finally over. (And I miss it anyway as I’m on holiday 😁).

Where’s the ‘meltdown’? I see more posts taking about ‘meltdowns’ than actual, err, meltdowns.

I’m not sure, standing is the prime example. The unwashed plebs that watch football wouldn’t have been allowed anywhere near that a decade ago. It’ll come.

Then they need life bans and arrested on a public order offence, a draconian approach is needed on these cretins in order to allow the 99% fans that can behave themselves to enjoy a normal day out. Things change quickly, look at the re-introduction of standing, nobody saw that coming five or so years ago.

Is it not time to scrap the no booze at your seat rule? Can’t be great for crowd control to have packed out concourses with folk necking pints in five minutes.

Remember when getting a shirt for your summer hols was a pretty simple process…

How can anybody be ‘promised’ a starting place? Especially a goalkeeper, it’s a results business and JDT has high standards, he’ll be out the side soon enough.

Hope your post pointing out that absolute nonsense gets to stay, LeftWinger, others haven’t 🤷‍♂️

Another cake lover?! 😬

It's a big challenge, we all know that, parachute payments are a ridiculous rigging of the competition. But then we have a Category 1 academy and a top manager, many (most) others don't, so it's all swings and roundabouts. Oh and what were the wage bills of Luton, Cov and Sunderland's last season?

Always makes me laugh when folk try and paint Shearer as some young unknown we’d just inexplicably signed for daft money. He was a full international with England goals under his belt, a top flight hat trick to his name and he came to us straight from Euro ‘92.

I enjoyed the football, Daniel Sturridge on the other hand 🥴

That’s what players have always done after scoring when chasing the game, no? We obviously wanted to go on and win it. Now if he’d have done that after putting us 3-2 up it would back that argument up.

Called man- management, JDT knows he’s one of the few senior pros left (especially in forward positions). Needs him to feel like he’s the dog’s bollocks, regardless of he is or not.

What would I be moaning about re the product itself? I buy one for 23 league games at Ewood, I get what I pay for. What I do ‘moan’ about is the fact the club does absolutely nothing to try and get more than c8500 to join me, indeed they price it at a level to actively avoid it.

They don’t count either, they actually had a thread on it 😁

Not that I would ever want to spend my time arguing with Dingles, it’s bad enough on here with your own fans. But the difference being he gets gentle ribbing on here, whereas on UTC, you would be hounded off in minutes in an hail of expletives after being told of Jack Walker being dead and hoping the club follows him.
