Thread | Jaden Philogene yesterday-
at 10:14 23 Feb 2025
I found his performance to be a very frustrating watch.
Pulling the ball out of the air, just to pass it to the invisible man, slowing the game down in situations where he should be attacking the full back, taking shots from silly positions and generally not playing with the kind of intensity I expect of a Kieran McKenna player.
What *really* annoyed me though is that once the game was gone, he started to play and actually attack his full back directly, put in crosses, link up with Hutchinson.
Everyone’s entitled to a bad game and it’s still very early days for Jaden at the club, but I do have a few concerns based over what I’ve seen thus far.
Here’s hoping it’s just part of the settling in period. |

Thread | Defence of Muric is admirable but misguided…
at 19:02 1 Feb 2025
No Premier League play has made more errors that have directly led to goals as Arlo, that doesn’t count errors like today for the first goal where he had his whole hand behind the ball yet somehow allowed it through.
I stopped counting a while ago, but he’s lost us numerous points and cost us games.
Yes, he has good attributes, but they’re totally eclipsed by his consistent errors that cost us.
I believe he has the technical ability to play out from the back, but his decision making is diabolical and once he’s been shaken a bit he gets yips- you can literally see the fear in his face at times.
When you consider the money we’ve paid for him too- it has to be seen as a poor piece of recruitment, sadly.
It’s been a while, but he can join the illustrious club that boasts the likes of Dean Gerken, Andy Marshall, Arran Lee-Barratt and Scott Loach… |

Thread | Ticket Office phone lines on matchday
at 10:10 1 Feb 2025
Does any one know what time they start answering phones on match day?
All I can find online is that they do 'additional hours' on a match day.
My lad's got chicken pox so I'm staying home to look after him, need to get a digital copy of the ticket sent over so another family member can support our Great Uncle.
Any and all info appreciated, cheers! |

Thread | Luke Woolfenden, sweeping up in a back three!
at 14:11 31 Dec 2024
I thought Luke’s game time would be limited for the reset of the season, he was *fine* in prior appearances this season in a back 4, although maybe a little laboured on the ball, often taking too long to play the pass.
I think as part of a back three he really benefits!
He’s passing the ball around well, sometimes driving into midfield and defending resolutely too, seems the strong parts of his game are front and centre when playing that sweeper role and having an additional DC gives him more immediate options to pass too, which appears to have stopped him dithering quite as much!
I thought he was great yesterday and solid against Arsenal too! [Post edited 31 Dec 2024 16:43]

Thread | Here's one for all you business owners/potential fraudsters...
at 11:06 11 Aug 2020
If you're the owner of a business that's participating in the "eat out to help out" scheme, what exactly is stopping you from putting through a bunch of fictional meal receipts, dropping the requisite amount of your own money into the till and claiming back the percentage due from the government?
Free money, no?

Have we all given up on finding a way of listening to it?
Did anyone actually offer an accurate summary of what was said?
Surprised you didn't run a story on it Phil, gentleman's agreement? |

Thread | Rupert Murdoch BBC Documentary series
at 11:15 23 Jul 2020
Any one else been watching this?
I've really enjoyed it, nothing in it is "new" per say, but it beautifully illustrates grip that Murdoch has held over British politics for decades and lays out in chronological order the inappropriately close relations between state and media and exposes the disgusting tactics employed by news international employees.
Next weeks episode steps into Brexit/Steve Banon/Trump territory. [Post edited 23 Jul 2020 11:16]

Thread | Kanye West - mental health issues
at 11:05 22 Jul 2020
I know the popular opinion from those who have a purely surface level knowledge of the man is that he's "just a d1ck head", but I find him quite a captivating individual. Musical genius aside, I especially find the reporting around him and his mental health issues interesting.
There's a long list of pain and trauma that Kanye's suffered in his life,
probably most notably his Mother passing away after complications from a cosmetic surgery that Kanye funded...
He's clearly a very complex individual that not only has his own highs and lows to negotiate but does so through the "Kardashian" gaze which will not only distort his reality when healthy but serve to further distance him from reality at times of an episode and augment events/people/situations/etc.
In my opinion Kanye West is a victim of regular manipulation and exploitation.
In the media in particular it appears that depending on the circumstance the MO is to mock his struggles and play his pain for laughs or potentially belittle and condescend him at times of mental health crisis.
Trump is clearly using him currently for nonferrous means regarding the election and while it's clear that he's going through something really difficult at the moment I've seen some pretty distasteful reporting over the last few days regarding West's latest public struggle.
What do the board think?
Is it okay to play peoples deepest darkest struggles for laughs and then wring our hands at how sad it is? Can you call someone "just a d1ck head" while also condescending them by making judgements about their capability as a functioning member of society?
Interested to hear what the general consensus is on how he's portrayed. [Post edited 22 Jul 2020 11:10]

Interesting piece written in September 2019.
Page 9, The United Kingdom, in case anyone wants to fast forward to “us”
It’s suggested the threat of this in the UK is significantly less than the USA, which I’m not sure is as reassuring as you’d like it to be.
I remember being shown this in my last lot of PREVENT training, It’s part of what the armed forces use to identify extremism from within...
Disturbingly I’ve seen a few individuals on TWTD display these behaviours/say these phrases from this chart in the past.

Thread | Teddy Bishop is 24 years old today...
at 15:07 15 Jul 2020
He's been playing in the first team for six seasons, made 87 League appearances and averages a full 90 minutes less than once a season.
Always makes me chuckle when I see people listing him in their starting elevens.
He's back to full fitness next month though...

Starting a thread about cancel culture and how a classic comedy from 20 years ago would be too much for the snowflakes today to take, only to report a direct quote from said show as abuse and have the person’s posts pulled from the thread in question...
He’s thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done? |

I remember someone doing a line of T-Shirts when Skuse got a wonder goal once upon a time? Does any one know if you can still purchase these anywhere? Or does any one have one in good condition that they wouldn't mind flogging? |
