    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I agree in principle BUT we also have to consider that if everyone is doing this, who's doing all the jobs that don't require a uni education? We need to value everything, as well as uni education. Vocational training/apprenticeships need investment alongside uni. So if we have to scale back...

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    Good, dominant, performance. Obikwu and Alabi are brick shit-houses. Perry looks composed for his age, but could do with growing a few inches. Batanwi also looks good. Stretton and Nee are good with the ball at their feet and in close situations. Bapaga made a few bad decisions that meant he...

    Football governance - select committee

    They have a thing about self-regulation and, despite the fact it fails every time, still seem massively shocked when it doesn't work. Almost like they're working off a political ideology rather than facts.

    We've probably got Vik and Hamer who could do a decent job, and O'Hare could be effective too. But even if we sign a whole new team we're probably still going to be underdogs that struggle, and we're probably going to need to pay silly money to attract anyone half decent - Lingard for example...

    Popped over to see how sunderland felt about the last day .

    To be fair, even though JH didn't get the game delayed, he did say he had the Sunderland score put on the screen so both teams knew to play out the draw.

    I sort of agree, though not to that extent. I'd want us to sign 4-6 decent players and get the likes of Gyok and Hamer on longer term deals, meaning significant wage increases. Also look at bringing in a number of good youngsters so should we go back down we've got a good set of talent waiting...

    Premier League thread

    He's a very bad loser. Especially considering Liverpool tend to do pretty well from ref's decisions overall.

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    And would thus confirm MR alongside Hill as our greatest ever manager.

    So where are we watching the Middlesbrough game

    Was originally scheduled for Saturday and moved due to the coronation so counts as a Saturday 3pm KO I believe.

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    I meant in terms of other results going our way. After next Mon other results are irrelevant. It's all down to our own matches.

    Josh Eccles New Contract

    Most pleasing is that he has *fingers crossed* managed to play a number of games without injury. Maybe it was growth related. Thought he was a decent DM and would go on to show it provided he steered clear of injuries.

    Can we get a point at Boro?

    We can get the result we need, but I have a feeling we might lose and be looking nervously at other results. At least we've given ourselves a cushion a few results need to go against us for us to drop out. Luck has largely been with us in that respect recently. Hopefully it will carry on for one...

    So what’s permutations please

    Don't agree. We seem to be quite good at letting teams have the ball but not letting them have chances. And we can be good on the break, just need to be better with the final shot. If we HAD to win I think we'd lose our defensive solidity looking for the goal and be more likely to concede. I...

    The penalty

    Would be very surprised that there isn't a designated taker. But it seems the issue was sorted quickly, Gyok scored and it seems to not have affected the camaraderie in the group. On an aside, given we now have VAR and more pens being given I think it'd be fun to have the rule the penalty...

    Brum ratings

    I agree. Teams tend to become reliant on it. I think our throw-in are very predictable and quite static and it'd be nice to do it once in a while to catch the opposition off guard. But to do that you'd probably not be able to bring the big guys up from the back, and that would pretty much...
