Last seasons 3rd pink shirt.
at 18:20 10 Aug 2025

I was unpleasantly suprised to see the shirt for sale on the club's website for full price. Is it likely to be reduced or can it be purchased cheaper elsewhere?
Thanks.

Chop down a tree and get a 4 1/2 year sentence, protest on a motorway and get 5. Kill a teenager whilst admittedly showing off and get 16 months or get a 6 month suspended sentence for possession of 100s of explicit pictures of pre-teen children. There is a huge problem with sentencing in The UK.

Is Chaplin's time up?
at 14:42 16 Jul 2025

I am a big fan of his but looking at the players we are (or rumoured to be) interested in it seems that a 4-1-4-1 formation is the preferred formation. That would leave Chappers as the only pure central attacking midfielder in the squad so his opportunists would seem to be limited. He is still a very good Championship level player and would be fetch around £5 million in today's market. It would be sad if he left but may be the best option for both parties.

To be Chelsea's first choice striker. I do not rate Jackson but Joao Pedro is a class act as he has shown tonight. First choice going forward I think.

Lots of love in the crowd and between opposing players. Canada becoming the 51st State is inevitable after this show of unity.

When we were a bang average League One side.
at 03:04 26 Jan 2025

Remember when we would have qualified for The Champions League if it were the same format that it is now 6 out of 7 years and the one year we did not we won the FA Cup? We also won the won The UEFA Cup at the end of that run. A counter argument to how we were beating League One teams by a large margin who just a few years before had been non league clubs in a division we should never have been in the first place.

It's a start I suppose. It seems he pardoned Ulbricht because the same "scum" prosecutors were the ones that convicted him. No other reason.

He is a class goalie despite his critics. Everton's goals against is relatively good compared to the other relegation threatened sides. They also have Moyes who again despite his critics is a very good manager. I think they will stay up. Ramsdale who we really should have gone in for is a good goalie but Soton are a shambles. IMO it's 2 from us, Leicester and Wolves.

Halaand signs a 9 1/2 year contract extension.

Could there be more to it? Like in insurance policy if City have the book thrown at them. With that length of contract it would take perhaps £1/4 billion to buy him.

War with The USA.
at 02:35 5 Jan 2025

It is unlikely to happen but is is possible. Trump is stepping up his veiled threats against Greenland for the sake of "Security and Freedom.". To put this into a historical context Russia took Crimea for the same reason and even more seriously Germany took The Sudetenland then part of Czechoslovakia for "Security and Freedom." and that ultimately cost the lives of 70 million people. Greenland is not part of The EU but it is part of NATO and if The USA attempts to take it against the will of Greenland and Denmark then Article 4 will be triggered and we be obliged to defend it. All for "Freedom."
There are many words that I would use to describe Trump that would get me banned from this forum so I will bite my tongue and just say that he is bad man.

With The Putindo 64. It looks like a copy of The SNES which was launched in Japan in 1990 but it could be a copy of The N64 which was launched in 1996. If that is so at least they will be able to play The Ocarina of Time. Great game.

I do not think this system works well when it is played by weaker teams which we are, it results in being over-ran in midfield. I would say it is time to dump it but we do not have a natural number 8 so there seems to be little option. Sadly Chappers falls a little short of being a Prem level AM. For me we need to look at bringing in a good number 8 in January.
