Announced Hendrick has gone too

We already have his replacement in Brownlow so can concentrate on the areas we need to strengthen like right wing and an attacking midfielder with a bit of pace and flair.

Just wondering who sorts deliveries at Amazon and if they actually have a brain. A couple of days ago I ordered 3 packets of identical bin liners, all ordered together as 3 of the same item. First packet arrived this morning in a small cardboard box delivered by the Royal Mail. Half an hour later th...

I don't know about anyone else but I've developed an apathy towards signings and contracts with the amount of money involved in the transfers which includes the fee itself, wages and agents fees. To the average person the amounts are obscene and is taking some of the gloss of watching football for m...

Ralph can you post the up to date Ancien league please. It's interesting to compare the leagues. And I don't look half as bad in that one

Firthy

Well done Claretblue on your first win.

Always up for a live game Ralph if my opponent is.

Firthy

Psychic ?! ;) I never believed in Sod's Law but I'm beginning to. Not sure whether to do a John McEnroe "You can't be serious" or a Victor Meldrew "I don't believe it" The only other person in my league to score as many points as me was my opponent :shock: :cry: Well played Robbo, at least I've got...

Firthy

Well 6 points is okay but I bet I still didn't manage a win?

Personally I'm not one for these cross designer dogs. I'm a bit of a purist with dogs. I had cocker spaniels and they can be highly strung. I had to have one put down at 6 years old because it developed red rage. I currently have 3 Tibetan Terriers and they are the best dogs we've ever had. Hardly m...

could I arrange a game Firthy? :? Good luck! :D No chance, you'd probably beat me and then I would be the strongest player holding the rest up :o :shock: :lol: :lol: Hard to believe I once won the mini league I was in and managed 2 semi finals in both the knockouts. I'm probably overthinking it now...

So, are you "Crowd Noise On" or "Crowd Noise Off"?

Spot said he'd never known so much crowd noise at Watford

Has been off up until now but turned it on for this game to try and give me some encouragement, god knows I need it

I really can’t understand why Bardsley and Hendrick haven’t even been offered contract extensions to the end of this season let alone longer term extensions. Both are apparently training with the team and looked, from the photos on this forum, quite happy. Surely they will be needed for the hectic ...

Bugger 4 points and another defeat. My defence needs to step up

I thought this was going to be a discussion about some of the goals that Arsenal have scored against us.

Is that one of Stan's famous quotes?

The only quote you'll hear from a lot of us when the results are posted will be "oh ****"

One thing I'm puzzled by is we seem to be dithering with regards to Jeff Hendrick yet had no hesitation in activating the extra year clause of Brady's contract. Maybe Hendrick wants more than we're prepared to pay him or if the interest from Italy is genuine, it has turned his head. The only people...

Firthy

Changed my tactics this week, things can't get much worse so nothing to lose. Gone from the hedging my bets "I'll be somewhere near" option to the "that's where I think it is" option and to hell with the consequences. Think I can feel a duck looming for me.

I finally found out last night what anti-football is - big thanks to a player I wouldn't have given free in a lucky bag

Luiz definitely had no luck in his bag last night

"Not Something To Be proud Of!"

Nothing wrong with a bit of smugness when it's warranted

RIP Vera my dad loved you. I was just thinking about her the other day and how she would feel when I read the article about changing the name of the White Cliffs of Dover because of BLM. Hopefully she wasn't even aware of it.

Shop around and then go to your current mortgage lender and tell them you are happy to stay if they can match the deals from other lenders. They won't want to lose your business in the current climate and should negotiate with you and at least give you a better offer. If they won't then I would seri...

And this is what we've been desperate for for the last few months according to the media. Think I'll ask Sky for a refund under the trades descriptions act

Ball was definitely over the line, so much for technology. Ref obviously forgot to pick up the wife's vibrator when he packed his match bag

Tarks will go: likely to a northern club, I’d say Newcastle Taylor: Chelsea or Leicester for me Dwight: Newcastle/Arsenal/Leicester/Wolves - I’d love for him to get a move back to United. United can’t afford to keep releasing players for big money ala Pogba, questions would be asked! Pope: Chelsea ...

one overhead, one bicycle, and one scissor kick!!!

Can you please explain the difference between those three?

I'm going for a gutsy 1-1 with some great defence from us.

My laptop has just installed a new Windows 10 update and the bar on the bottom is now white instead of black. How can this be allowed in this day and age with everything that's going on.

I just thought I'd bastardise Pattons speech to try and motivate myself in the hope that my results improve. "I don’t want to get any messages saying, "I am holding my position." I am not holding a Goddamned thing. Let Bobinho and the rest do that. I am advancing constantly and I am not interested i...

The only problem with the article is that it's like an advert for him. He comes across as a top man who genuinely cares about the club, players and the fans and knows what he's about. I just hope he stays with us for many years to come and that the bigger clubs don't realise just what he could do fo...

Another away game to the Liverpool of my league. Not sure whether to take the cautious defensive approach or go all out attack. Don't give much to my chances either way

Thanks everyone.

The problem here is zero hours contracts!

Why are they a problem? In many cases they suit the employee just as much as the employer.

5 home games running :shock: I’m pleased for the home advantage but it’s costing me my own money paying for the electric & staff to run the ground with no fans All the more reason you should accept my challenge of the live game on Wednesday. You have the home advantage and I'm on a downwards spiral.

If you honestly think that most of the protesters don’t know why they are protesting then you’re being silly. Doesn't matter if they know why they're protesting.

Just looking at my league, 3 of the semi finalists from the previous STB in 16, 17 and 19th positions. Just shows what a leveller this game is.
