Well tbh I think routinely threatening to fight people is also twattish behaviour too. If it was up to me than neither would be tolerated on here. Not that I want to pull the “Raise your hand if you’ve ever been personally victimised by Regina George” card etc but you know full well that you...

Consistently targeting certain posters with reactions to their every post is childish at best and bullying tactics at worst - it’s pathetic really.

I wonder if the police were banking on Cov fans to stay in the stadium longer - the lap of honour went almost straight to Singers Corner first, which meant we left the stadium a lot earlier than I was expecting.

Surprising lack of discussion about the critical importance of VAR on this forum today….

Doug King giving it large to Singers Corner during the lap of honour:

Wilson 7 Elite-tier game management BNC 7 Definitely his best game for us McNally 7 Did a good job scrapping with Juke McFadzean 7 Did all the usual McFadz stuff…are we about to see his last few games for us?! Doyle 8 Getting better and better, such a talented player Bidwell 8 Oozed...

Bit weird from Vik considering he doesn’t have any chance of finishing as top scorer in the league or anything. He doesn’t seem like the most likeable team-mate, but hey, at least he’s really really good.

Someone tried to pay with Nectar points?

I’d like all that too, but is it really enough to be competitive long-term? The wage/turnover ratio in the Championship is 125%. If you buy a team and run it in a way that makes financial sense, you’re automatically at a disadvantage. You don’t have to be mad to work here, but it helps.

Right, but my point is that being a basket case financially doesn’t seem to stop you from succeeding in this league. It might soon be a condition of succeeding if money continues to pour in. I’m sure there is a place in English football for a sensibly-run, financially conservative team that...

Well exactly - obviously it makes sense in most other industries to be cautious when all your competitors are going mental in terms of speculation. But this isn’t any old industry, it’s competitive sport, and they don’t give out trophies at the end of the season for Best Balance Sheet.

Not sure I agree with that. Magical thinking is the default setting for most teams’ owners at this level. In fact, my big worry with King’s cautious approach is that when the rest of your peers are totally ignoring financial realities, how do you expect to keep up with them?

Think the key bit of the announcement is the last bit: That seems to suggest to me that at least one of the parties involved here doesn’t plan to be sticking around…

The big news line from that interview is the exclusivity clause - that’s very good news indeed. Tough shit, Wasps. He’s a bit of a strange character - doesn’t seem that comfortable or well-practiced under the spotlight, which is kind of refreshing and kind of odd. Seems like he’s prizing...

I finally lost it at “He’s delivered the Checkatrade…..the guy’s a winner”

It’s good news but a five-year licence is really just kicking the can down the road. In terms of the big questions - where are we going to play long term? Can we reconfigure the seat allocation or get safe standing? Can we make more money off matchday revenues? Can we be sure that Wasps or some...

No, I think he’d had too much to drink.

If the guy sitting behind me is coughing and sneezing on me the whole game, I’m gonna be pissed off and would rather he stayed at home. Still would be an improvement on the time he threw up on himself, twice, in the same game.

Endless complaining about the ref, Robins not making changes, and not bringing on our young striker who’s been prolific in the reserves….this place really has come a long way since then.
