Thread | We looked like a championship team today
at 18:55 5 Oct 2024
I'm still confident we'll avoid relegation but it will be tight, it was always going to be tight.
Disappointed because in the Prem you need to take advantage when teams are struggling, and West Ham have been struggling at home. Travelling on the DLR chatting with some WH fans, they were clearly apprehensive given their home form this season. But ultimately it was an easy game for them.
None of the Town players came out of it with credit, all failed with basic errors, which I find strange. Yes you'll have games with some players off form, but the entire team looked off form. Is the lack of a win starting to get to them.
One area I find concerning is our lack of creativity in the final 3rd. Yes the defence will get the criticism tonight, but in these types of games we're creating few chances and that will ultimately put pressure on the defence. Clarke, Hutch, Burns never really did anything different, basically trying the same thing every time with the same 'failed' result. Broadhead has that ability to try a different ball, open a team up with a completely different direction ball, time to give him a game especially in away games.
Bad day at the office, but after the Villa game it felt like 2 steps back rather than a step forward which I was expecting today - anyway onwards and upwards |

Thread | I wonder if Southgate influenced Phillips?
at 21:29 15 Aug 2024
Been a bit of McKenna / Southgate bromance recently, with sitting/chatting while watching games, having a meal together. Southgate obviously a massive fan of Phillips.
Wonder if Southgate whispered (in a slow gentle romantic way) in McKenna's ear, you should get that Kalvin Phillips in Kieran.
Then Phillips phones Southgate...
Southgate: Hi Kalvin, missed you at the Euros.
Phillips: Hi boss, thanks, missed you.
Southgate: How can I help
Phillips: Been offered a chance of joining Ipswich, what do you think?
Southgate: WHAT, now that is a surprise (while suppressing a snigger). Well that Kieran McKenna is a great manager. Plus and most importantly that Ed Sheeran occasionally pops into the dressing room after games, you'll get to meet Ed Sheeran. You never know he might even bring Taylor Swift along one day. I recommend you join Ipswich
Phillips: Never thought about that boss, the chance to meet Taylor Swift. Decision made I'll join Ipswich. |

Fantastic record as an England manager, amazing the failures we've had to suffer with all the other England managers since Sir Alf but Southgate gets us to qtrs and semi's consistently |

I liked the idea of us going for him, but obviously staying at Southampton now. |

Thread | Another corrupt MP - this one jailed.

OK not an MP now but he was when he committed the crime.
It appears that when he was an independent MP he did nothing in terms of MP work ie no constituency surgeries, not responding to any requests, all while taking his salary.
I know MPs have a code of conduct, you would assume it would include reqular evidence/proof of a mini level of constituency work and if no, they can remove the individual from being an MP. |

Thread | We're only 10 points off top
at 17:07 23 Oct 2021
And to think some people were only claiming a couple of weeks the top 2 places were gone already.
10 points is nothing when we're not in Nov yet.
We will get promoted via the automatic places, believe |

Thread | If you keep selecting Hladky and the Wolf you will concede 2 goals
at 17:27 11 Sep 2021
A complete joke.
What is wrong with Cook?
Sarcasm aside hopefully those fans who slagged off the Wolf and said all you have to do is replace the Wolf and we won't concede now understand football isnt a computer game and its not that simple.

Thread | With all the Town signings and England I missed the Benitez, Santo & Parker
at 13:28 1 Jul 2021
Benitez, strange decision given his comments about Everton when he was Liverpool manager, surprised if Everton fans are overly happy
Sano, another strange decision if Spurs want to keep Kane. He did OK at Wolves but didn't win anything and I don't see him as a 'top' manager plus unsure if he was 1st, 2nd ....18th choice
Parker, I didn't even know he have left Fulham, again strange as I would think the quality of players would be better at Fulham than Bournemouth.

Thread | EFL trophy finals to be held on same weekend
at 10:46 5 Feb 2021
The 2020 EFL trophy final is to be played on 13th March with this season's final a day later. Portsmouth are in the 2020 final and if they win it they will only hold the trophy for 1 day
Portsmouth are often the pub quiz question 'which team has held the FA Cup for the longest period?' Answer, Portsmouth during the war.
If they win the 2020 EFL Trophy , the question could finally be amended to which club has held the FA Cup for the longest period and EFL trophy for the shortest period
Pointless fact of the day |
