Brilliant - This bloke travelled thousands of miles to support Connah's Quay in Armenia. He's actually a West Ham fan, who teaches English in Poland. After reading about his effort to get there and be their sole supporter I was impressed, but then I spotted that he was teaching English and...

Hi There will be the obvious jokes about certain individuals on here (I'll resist the temptation) but I see that the club have announced that anyone wanting the option needs to contact the club at '[email protected]' Some people with health concerns, or anxious regarding social...

As it says on the tin........... I'll start with Derby at home (before they've signed anybody) !! Edit: they're doing that North/South split, so don't know if we're in the same split, if not someone like Swindon at home.

For all clubs competing in The Championship - other than those receiving parachute payments - the stark reality is they are facing a 'fluke' season to gain promotion to the PL. Any side that has a very good season, with emerging talent, will have their best players cherry picked, unless they...

I've seen some laid back reactions to incidents, but this bloke is right up there for me https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-dorset-57253965

S****True facts**** 1. In the 1400s a law was set forth in England that a man was allowed to beat his wife with a stick no thicker than his thumb. Hence we have 'the rule of thumb.' 2. Many years ago in Scotland , a new game was invented. It was ruled 'Gentlemen Only... Ladies Forbidden'...

Watched most of the Arsenal game last night and was thinking about the amount of time wasted during the game playing the ball back/keeping possession, even when having the ball near the oppositions' area/in the opponent's half. The ball often being retained, 30 seconds has passed and ends up...

Dropped for a Cov-id breach for the game at West Ham (along with Perez and Choudhury) Then upset a lot of Leicester fans by posting a picture of himself (I think) on a local golf course. Got the impression it was during the match (reading their forum) but it has sparked a 'get rid of him' from...

Setting aside which division we are going to be in next season (Championship, obviously!), I was reading an article - Bristol City connected - talking about Championship budgets for next season. Forgetting those relegated from the PL. the author was referring to one of the sides in the top 6...

Early doors - Osti on bench v Gibraltar. Good news (can't get injured !) Wales - Joe Allen gone off injured (Stoke - don't mind, as long as he's out long enough to miss our match!)

As Fankaty may be out for some or all crucial games now, do we go with Da Costa or Pask? Although Da Costa looks really dangerous going forward at times, his positional awareness and stamina (tends to do erratic things the more tired he gets) over 90 minutes leave me nervous. Overall I think I'd...

Rarely mention other players from the top level (unless it's Maddison or another of our old boys) but having watched a few displays from Wan Bissaka I have become more and more struck by how players who are up against him seem to realise/accept that they can't get the better of him, and nearly...

Thoughts..........!

After last night's game I felt drained and - despite no alcohol involved - I could tell my blood pressure was up. In the early hours I woke up and thought about it some more (usual post match; will we stay up etc) then wondered about the actual viewing experience, It got me thinking that at the...

During yesterday's game against Swansea, there was an incident about 10 mins from time, when a Swansea player by the left touchline in our half tried to shield the ball out for a throw in and our player put his leg around their player and kept it in play. Their player stumbled over and screamed...

I'll kick off with Sean Morrison. Cheating player, dirty and took a real cheap shot on Marko Marosi earlier this season...

A phrase that I came across years ago in a Stephen King novel. which I liked and it resonated with me, in that I tend to have that approach to life. Hence, if somebody breaks something in our household, I always think 'it's just an object' and any other adverse events tend to be met with a...
