    Loans: What are we getting wrong ?

    Sadly not a patch on the first 2 films in the Cornetto Trilogy. Much harder to call which of the first two is better though.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    It’s what he was always going to do. I can’t believe anyone thought it would be different.

    10 ENGLISH CLUBS THAT NO LONGER EXIST!

    The site is about a mile from my house. Such a sad state of affairs to see it all pretty much abandoned down there, apart from some random office space

    I think if he goes on loan it has to be to a top end L1 club and he has to make a big impact to come back next season and be in the mix

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Both of these teams will be very different come September 1st and will likely be weaker. Hopefully we’ll be the opposite.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    I agree - how their player didn’t get biked for dragging down Morris is beyond me. Gonna be right cynical bastards.

    Anybody actually play in a team?

    Played regularly through my 20’s and 30’s at a reasonable standard. Have played vets now for 7 years - really enjoy it in the main. Haven’t got the energy to chase around 17 year old whippets on a Sunday morning. Full back is my position of choice now.
