    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I don't really see an issue with older people downsizing, in fact I'd view that as a good thing. But are there suitable properties being built. Have this discussion with my Mum all the time. The house she's in is way to big for her, both in terms and needs and the ability to manage - guess who...

    Close Season

    they started on pitch replacement at Ryton on Monday so unless they just want to do gym work there's no point them being there. pretty sure most of the players live closer to a gym than ryton, or have the stuff at home, but if they needed to use it they probably could.

    Ball Boys

    someone posted about this last night and I replied to question if this was still in place because there was zero effort to enforce it. our ballboys seem to do what they are told no matter how much the crowd gets on their back. they only seem to give the ball to the player if the player directly...

    Wright

    don't you then risk the club potentially signing you watching your games and changing their mind?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    We're not allowed to WFH despite it all the data for my profession showing it improves productivity. We're required to have reliable internet at home for 'emergency' calls at evenings and weekends. Obviously when we get those calls, which are rarely emergencies, we don't receive any overtime or...

    season ticket sales

    The maximum cap is a scam. They have them on sale for months and then when they've sold pretty much everything they're going to sell there's suddenly a cap at just above the current sales to try and scare people into buying before they're not available.

    Wright

    I can't believe that for play off semi finals players just aren't bothered. Its your chance to get to the Premier League. Not sure we'll be told but I wouldn't be surprised if he's still carrying an injury because something hasn't seemed right since he came back in. Not sure I'd be giving up...

    Ellis simms

    When Lampard came in he was asked about Simms and gave some vague everyone will get their change answer but he really doesn't seem to like Simms. Got to be hard to get any run of form going when you're only playing 15 - 20 minutes and the occasional start before being hauled off after an hour...

    Lampard

    Big season coming up for Lampard. He's had a great impact since coming in but the stats guys will tell you he inherited a team which wasn't getting the results the data suggested they should be getting. He's now got the summer to shape his own team and we need to hit the ground running for a...

    Will we ever

    Can see where Saddles is coming from. When people were talking about having no chance against Sheff Utd in the final it made me wonder how many trips to Wembley that end in disappointment can we make before the novelty wears off and it starts being a struggle to sell tickets. My concern is our...

    Keepers

    Suspect he will be number 3 and as we seem to have decided we need 3 keepers that works for me. This season is unusual, how often do clubs have to use 3 keepers because of injury? Bring in someone to challenge Dovin as we know he will be out for half of next season. Then you've got your first...

    Our choice of captain

    Unless we bring someone in pretty sure it will be Grimes. What other candidate is likely to play as many games? Have a feeling the only reason he wasn't immediately made captain was in case it caused upset in the dressing room.

    Player ratings v Sunderland

    What happened to the directive to stop the ball boys returning the ball, players were told they had to retrieve one of the spare balls from around the pitch. Has that been scrapped now?

    Eccles

    He can't be close to being one of the top earners, is probably happy enough being a squad player. Not really sure there's a reason to get rid. We seem to have this thing of every player having to be one of the best in the Championship or not worth keeping. It would be nice to have a squad...

    Sakamoto

    Remember when he signed and people were saying King had signed him without Robins knowledge to sell shirts in Japan and Robins was never going to play him as he was shit 😂 How do people come up with some of this stuff???
