No doubt his advisors will play that card. Whether he’s got genuine issues or not, it’s no good to just keep blaming companies that offer, what is to the vast majority, a recreational activity. You take responsibility for your own actions. So you don't think addiction is a thing then? You just don'...

He’s clearly bang to rights ( such is this digital age of easy forensics ) and I’ve no doubt whatsoever his management agency will trot out some lavish “ X factor -esque” sob story’s of “ take your pick excuses “ .He’s a multi millionaire living his dream . Hopefully takes his punishment apologies ...

Classic message board condemnation before the full facts are known. It's clearly stupid and yes he'll no doubt get a ban but none of us know the circumstances surrounding his gambling. Is he yet another footballer, in an industry that has a horrible association with betting companies, who has succum...

Not before time if that is the case.

He's only played 9 games. Should hardly need a rest. Had plenty of that early in the season.

He's not getting in the team before Tarky or Coady.

How could he be, he isn't there yet?

welsbyswife

Can't believe people are making excuses for the guy. The fact that he did the interview at all tells you all you need to know. I'm just trying to work out which one of him or Piers Morgan is the biggest ******!

welsbyswife

Glad the offensive poster is serving a suspension though. No place on here for posts like that. Agreed. Bit baffling why your post was removed Jamesy. How anyone could deem it an "unnecessary response" is beyond me. You were simply highlighting a heart warming tale explaining how two fans from acro...

welsbyswife

Too many people want to unload important players, when still half a season to go. This is the problem with transfer windows. If there was no "window" in January we'd be pretty happy with the squad and the cover that we have and people wouldn't be making up lists demanding x, y and z. I really wish ...

They will always be what they are

I see that you didn't directly answer the earlier question as to whether you are a bit thick but this post confirms it nonetheless.

welsbyswife

I love it when he just stands there with the ball teasing the defender just by dropping his shoulder and doing little tricks. Mesmeric to watch for us and the B*****ds full back today

welsbyswife

Please can someone explain the logic of abandoning thousands of your own troops on the wrong side of the river? I can't understand why they would do it. And surely it sends a message to all other Russian troops that their leaders really don't care a jot about their lives. Why would you put your life...

Nothing there that I can see.

The bit in one of the early episodes describing the offices where they decided what every factory needed to make, what quantity, what style/ design, how much to send to each shop etc was fascinating. We just take it for granted that if there is a demand for something the market will make it. But for...

welsbyswife

I love his documentaries. They are always quite chaotic, piecing together seemingly disparate threads but making sense of it at the same time. That chaotic style is perfect for this because the whole collapse was utter chaos.

welsbyswife

Good manager as well. Getting a bit of tap from some on here but I quite like Cov. Decent fans in my experience and deserve better than the shambles they've had to put up with. I wish them well.

welsbyswife

That's him Boatshed. Him and the lad Goykres or however you spell it stood out for them.

welsbyswife

Not sure about O'Hare but wouldn't mind that right back. He was some unit. Kept Zaroury very quiet.

welsbyswife

Wrong mentality for me is that. You can't go through this league thinking some games will be easier than others. Pick your strongest possible side for every game. Use subs wisely but giving people a rest because "It's only Rotherham" is the wrong way to go about it.

He might have.

But his tactics today held them back. Their performance was awful.

But they very nearly got a point. And they aren't a very good side. Are you suggesting they should have come and played an expansive game against us? We'd have murdered them.

They were a combatative team with a few nice touches.
Certainly held back by their managers tactics.

That's complete nonsense. Have you seen the improvement in Reading since he took over. Like him or loathe him he's done a fantastic job there.

Same team for me except for Bastien in for the suspended Cork. Depending on how the game is going, I'd like to see more of the Turkish lad (won't attempt to spell his name without looking) - he looked promising on Tuesday night.

Agree with this. He looked sharp.

welsbyswife

Agree on the difference in level but the system really didn't suit him either. He's much better dropping deep, picking. Up the ball and making runs into the box than chasing long balls down the channels. But I never saw him complain. Just got on with it. Top pro.

welsbyswife

Swede Davis was a class defender in a developing team.He did well for us as we started our long haul back to the top table I think he was the first player in the rebuild who looked to have a touch of class. Certainly above the level we were at af the time. Used to love Comstive as well but he was n...

What garbage that is. You have no idea at all.

Embarrassing isn't it. Clowns.

welsbyswife

Maybe the nanagers aren't the problem at Villa. Maybe the club itself is the issue. Very easy to roll out the great player but not a great manager line. But a bit lazy. Who has done well at Villa in the last 20 years? They can't all have been bad managers.

welsbyswife

Is it just me who thought that arriving for your court hearing in a Nike hoodie with matching jogging bottoms isn't the best look? Maybe I'm just old fashioned.

welsbyswife

Personally I think VK has far more to gain by getting us promoted than going to a mid to lower Premier League team. As we have seen, it's just a grind for most of them.

welsbyswife

Well yes., but didn't Brighton poach Potter from Swansea? They were pretty much in the same position then as we are now. Yep. But that's not my point. My point is more about this myth that some people pedal that you go from smaller Premier League team, to medium sized team and then to a big 6 team.

welsbyswife

He's a high profile manager for us, and can attract players we'd not normally be able to attract, but who in the premier league is really going to get sucked in by Vincent Kompany? Bournemouth and Forest level players, maybe, but there are equally great footballing legends at Aston Villa and Everto...

Poor lad barely looked old enough to shave. Absolutely shameful that those in power are happy for young men to go off and die whilst they sit in comfort miles from the front line.

welsbyswife

People having a pop at Rangers and Celtic for not being Premier League standard. Why would anyone expect them to be with the comparative resources? Rather than being smug and laughing at them it just highlights the disparity in the game to me. Europe completely dominated by the same sides year after...

welsbyswife

Definitely teacake. Quite peculiar to Burnley and Pendle I think. I once asked for a ham and salad teacake in Manchester and they looked at me like I'd gone mad!

welsbyswife

Current supply? Am I missing something.

welsbyswife

Been a dreadful 2nd half. Ollie Watkins has offered nothing.

welsbyswife

You look at Villa and wonder how on earth they have spent so much money to look so average. Really didn't put the Grealish money to good effect.

Why haven’t VAR noted the head butt by Luiz, it’s a red card.

Hardly a head butt was it. A faint brush of heads. Silly but do we really want to see people sent off for that?

welsbyswife

I like Pat Nevin. But it's quite peculiar. Most people. When they move away from home, tend to lose their accent slightly over a long period of time. It just mellows slightly. His accent seems to get stronger as the years go on. I sometimes really struggle to pick what he's saying these days. Maybe ...

He got skinned right at the death and it very nearly led to a chance for them. Awesome wasn't the word on my mind at that point.

Reading went top of the league for 5 minutes despite having a minus goal difference.

The league is bonkers.

How did they change league position before the match had even finished?

Great pic. Used to be up in the national football museum. Pleased to say I'm on it!

If Vlad genuinely believes Ukraine to be Russian it would be a very strange thing to do. But then they seem to respond to military defeats by blowing up civilian areas anyway so it's clear he really doesn't care about the people or the country. He just wants to redraw lines on a map for his own lega...

Good news. Let's hope they've got him. Seems like it's been a complex investigation so fair play to the police. They get some stick but are generally very good at solving serious crime.

welsbyswife

Bonkers indeed. You only need to look at the room set up when they were signing the documents with him sat regally on one side and the 4 minions on the other to work out that he sees himself as some sort of emporer. Delusional.

Apologies but when I read the username followed by the desire for straight talking I immediately started reading the rest of the post in the voice of Harry Enfield's Yorkshireman "I like what I say and I say what I like"

Sang at the 1990’s speed as well. Not the super fast 2020’s versions. Used to be great when the chant would start with two sets of fans singing alternate lines and then after about 10 minutes would merge together into a single chant. Not sure what it is about that Mullen period but it was a great t...

Surprised the Mark Kendal inspired 5-2 at Blackpool in 92 hasn't been mentioned. That was bad.
