    Some of the best attacking football weve played for years

    Am I alone in not liking the playing with wingers part? The crosses lack quality. There is often few attackers to get on the end of them unless they arrive in the box late. We looked better on Saturday when we took off the wingers and played a front 3 with full backs doing the crosses. Just my...

    Timewasting

    Posted this on Officiating thread but more relevant here ... I'm old school. I don't really care if they're injured. Exception is head injury or something that is so obvious that the players should stop playing and kick it out. That's on their professional integrity. They shouldn't want to see a...

    I'm old school. I don't really care if they're injured. Exception is head injury or something that is so obvious that the players should stop playing and kick it out. That's on their professional integrity. They shouldn't want to see a fellow pro in genuine distress. Should be honour code...

    Once the referee clocks deliberate time wasting ... Call the captain over. Tell him the next piece of time wasting from your team and I play on then book you. Second time you're off

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Is Bluesky any better? Seems a mirror image?

    Those predicting Andrews on the bench over Allen were wrong, unsurprisingly

    Something brewing

    I would suggest they are more unknown knowns. But I don't really know.

    Match program

    All information is very welcome but we shouldn't have to track them down and tip others off about where they are. It's not a treasure hunt. Their location should be clear and well publicised.

    Match program

    Programme Sorry. It's been bugging me for nearly 36 hours. There is only so much a retired English teacher can take ;)

    Match program

    I used to buy one at the f&b outlet in block 21. Now I potentially have to queue twice if I want refreshments and a programme. If you stop selling them they don't sell. This really should be easy. Designated static programme stands. Advertise where they are. That's it.

    Match program

    This has been a bugbear of mine for years. I now manage to get one from a tiny white stand outside block 22. It is almost against the stadium wall, blending in, surrounded by bins, queue paraphernalia etc and very easy to miss. Getting one inside the ground is virtually impossible. I don't know...

    Things that annoy you

    Fans wearing away shirts to home matches. This is especially ridiculous when the actual away team are wearing that colour. Like tonight watching Leeds v Everton and loads of Leeds fans are wearing a blue shirt, the same shade as the Everton blue. Nutcases

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    That's two plus a LB, a utility player and an untried youngster. We need two more CBs really but one is urgent.

    As a mother of two I can tell you IMO most men are of no use in the delivery suite. This is an open secret amongst women. It is a modern idea we could do without. It's part of this, "we had a baby" nonsense. His partner will have managed perfectly well without him there. ... Retreats to safe...
