Certainly was during his loan spell with us. I know for a fact that before one game (can’t remember which now) he’d been out til 4am in Birmingham drinking Hennessy by the bottle.

Would imagine there’s a conversation either to be had, or already had, that he’ll stick around til the end of the season then we’ll let him go where he wants.

Nick Robinson should sue them for £1bn.

See, I don’t think Trump can stand any scrutiny or questions either. But rather than try and filibuster he just goes on the attack. And in the world nowadays people like that.

For the record, I don’t think he will. But given the Dems were effectively wheeling out a rotting corpse to partake in presidential debates last time I don’t think mental or physical health is a barrier as such.

I do think if we went up then someone like O’Hare who can press really well and is more of a defensive 10 would be ideal. We could then look to play the old box formation with O’Hare & Rudoni behind the striker (using O’Hare as the example player here, if someone else has his skill set that is...

I think with Starmer we’ve reached the “shit or get off the pot” stage. Just seems so meandering thus far.

Average points for a top 2 finish in the last 15 seasons has been 89.5. Hull got promoted in 2nd place in 2012-13 with 79! As I said (I think on another thread) if you get to 70 points at 35 games you’re pretty much guaranteed to go up.

Looking back, one trend I’ve noticed is that if you get to 70 points by Game 35 (in our instance, the Stoke return fixture) you’re basically there. Only 1 team in the last 15 years has had 70+ points at that time and not gone up automatically: Sheff Utd last season where we had 2 100-point...

Immediate thought would be Coventry University. Beyond that, there are a few tech firms in Leamington who may have the capital to support.

I’ve just had a look back (because I’m particularly sad) and it seems the last time I’d have seen an opposition team miss a penalty against us outside of a shootout is April 2017 v Peterborough. That’s bonkers.

Don’t think it’s that mental of a take tbh. I think they are referring more to the short-term than over the season as a whole. The underlying data suggests we’re probably not quite as convincing as early season (which is an almost impossible pace to keep) and we’re heading into a particularly...

I’m also failing to see the issue with this, though admittedly I haven’t seen the programme. Did the edit meaningfully alter what was actually said? If we’re hopping aboard no editing being allowed then the news every night will be 15 hours long.

One to keep an eye on, and I had mentioned him previously, is Mamadou Sangare. Moved from Rapid Vienna to Lens in the summer for something like €6m and seems to be a ball winning machine. Gut feel is he’ll get a Prem move next summer for about £15m.

Definitely a bit of cheeky profiteering going on. Think it’s the co op that charge 20p for compostable bags, again flying in the face of the purpose the charge was brought in.

I do wonder whether we leverage our standing anywhere near what we should. Remember years ago Danny Ward was on loan from Bolton and if he didn’t play we had to pay extra? Not that I like that personally but it would get a lot more commitment from the loaning club.

I wouldn’t usually indulge in this, but I’ve had a few beers. Firstly, for the record, I don’t think Edwards has done anything particularly brilliant in his managerial career so far aside from getting Forest Green promoted from L2. He’s a bit of a vanilla manager for me. Wants to play a passing...

Any desire to develop/improve/move the training ground? We had a rumour about the club looking to buy the Connexion not long back…

Fairly sure it’s the same as when John Terry got done for racism against Anton Ferdinand. It’s not a court of law, after all.

Let me know when it happens so I can spread a rumour that Levi Bellfield and Mick Hucknall are meeting up.
