Feel a bit sorry for him. Seems very much a confidence player who needs a manager who likes him and who's prepared to put an arm round his shoulder. He's got entirely the wrong bloke now here, but obviously it's a tough old game not a kindergarten.

As far as we know he's in India, current status unclear.

Good to see Baradji starting and Cantwell (49 League games) starts!

Have they run out of hake with a hint of fennel?

Wednesday have two draws and three defeats from the last five. Nothing less than three points is acceptable tonight. A defeat would be unthinkable.

Now that Pratt has actually broken into the first team albeit completely by default, Id be loath to see him dropped for a bog standard signing.

Yep, what a twat they were. The new guy's SOOOO much better!

So even the Club's own advertising shows us in blue and white halves back in the day? Haven't caught up with this thread yet but am I right in thinking they've taken a limited amount of these fictional monstrosities off general sale, stuck them in a box and added another £110 to the price in an attempt to make them sound desirable or exclusive?

Seemingly every Premiership Club and top Championship Club dont agree.

I felt sorry for people who'd bought a ticket for day 3, especially those flying over from England. Let's be honest Australia weren't bothered having won the series and England were hardly any better. Both sides played it like they wanted 3 days off. Just because the pitch is doing a bit doesnt mean you have to treat it like a T20. England have been desperately uncompetitive in the other tests as well. There are times when you have to dig in - you can't be completely gung ho all the time.

Enjoying the form of my favourite player Gary Anderson this year - hoping he can roll back the years this time round at age 55. "Heavy metal" Ryan Searle playing as well as anyone so far. Littler looked ominously good last night though.

It might be true to a degree but surely latitude within the rules is allowed to cater for things like last minute sales and Holidays periods and Offices being shut when you wish to make online sales. I suspect they're quoting the absolute letter of the law there in a vain attempt to cover their arses.

Even when they move to try and correct a colossal cock up which should never have been made in the first place, they manage to further insult everyone's intelligence. Processing deadlines. Nothing to do with Wednesday getting in touch and asking them why the fuck tickets weren't on sale I dont suppose. Just fuck off the lot of them.

Still remember Karen Brady coming on Talksport and spouting some absolute nonsense in support of Potter who at that point was obviously a dead man walking and saying how he was a "modern" manager etc They deserve everything they get. Santo's a strange one. At one or two Clubs he's been sensational, however at several others he just hasn't clicked at all, or endeared himself to anyone.

The power to intervene does certainly seem to be there in the regulations. Then again they could have ordered a replay of the final 10-15 minutes of the match 11 v 10 against Ipswich.

From my interactions with them both on the FF and from speaking to a couple of people I knew at the time who thought similar. I have to stress that's a compliment to Finn as opposed to a dig at Williams. I can't believe my opinion on the subject is of any interest to or matters to anyone. Edit: Just as I can't understand why me saying "I think Tronstad is ordinary BUT I KNOW OTHERS DON'T AGREE" seems to be so controversial.

Anyone think Villa can do it?

You fired a couple of aggressive chaddy style questions at me. All I said was I preferred Tom Finn to John Williams, I was being complimentary about Finn not derogatory about Williams. Where is there to go with that? It's my own personal opinion and no-one else's business. It's also completely irrelevant anyway all these years later.

Not wanting to pick on your post in isolation but this thread is so fickle. We've had two decent results. Again in isolation Boro was a creditable performance and a pleasing result but we drew the game 0-0, we didnt win it 3-0. And we're 4 points above the drop zone. If we suddenly went ten games unbeaten winning most of them in the process then, yes, that would be different but we just pick up the odd result here and there followed by two or three bad ones. The members of the Coalition must groan when they see this thread and think what's the point?

I never mentioned the owners, I said "paymasters" I.e. Pasha and Gestede for the purposes of the transfer window. But then again you have this weird aversion to anyone other than the owners getting any blame for anything whatsoever. For me Ismael is just as much of a problem as Pasha and Gestede. I find him very dislikeable personality wise, if anything goes wrong things are always someone else's fault (everyone forgotten "the list" already?) and he's fully on board or "aligned" with this bonkers "transition" (downgrading) which is likely to send us into League 1 or beyond.

Yes, because according to him, the squad's better or at least comparable to last year. Didnt he get very prickly about it in that press conference? I dont agree, but they're his players. It's a bit of an odd excuse to make for him to say, "Ah he's doing ok because look at all the shite he's signed". (My word not yours but you get the drift Im sure)

If you want to question me in a civil manner on anything vaguely relevant to 2025 fire away.

Still cant stand him personally, we're still only 4 points above the drop zone, AND don't forget, he's bailed his paymasters out by suggesting they can sort the pitch in lieu of strengthening in January. So we'd better hope the away form holds.

Well, that's me for the night, had enough of being baited for one day. Tomorrow Rev gets strung up for saying he preferred Clayton over Douglas.

Not that it matters, but imo Tom did all the real donkey work behind the scenes and John was more the PR man ( which tbf he was very good at)
