Thread | PSR Theory - ORG portfolio
at 10:11 3 Jul 2024
Given that it seems we have bid 30m for the Hull pair and also spent 20m for Omari - I wonder if we may see some clever accounting between the different parts of the ORG/Pension fund portfolio.
From Swiss Ramble and others, sounded like we had about £60m to spend but seems we'll likely blow through that.
Chelsea for example sold their training ground (I assume no money ever exchanged hands) to another company in the Clearlake portfolio. I wonder if we can move assets between other companies in the ORG portfolio? More difficult as we don't own the ground but would make sense from a "clever" accounting point of view.
It's not really cricket in my view but the PL turned a blind eye to everyone else for so long, so why not. Whole thing is a sham anyway because it means the rich clubs stay rich, while we are penalised for being promoted from L1 to Prem in successive years. |

Thread | Al Hamidi's latest insta post
at 12:01 27 Jun 2024
Maybe I'm getting old but don't really like to see a guy flexing like that who has achieved not much at all. Wearing about 5 different watches in the same video.
All for Burns et al posting fun vids of them in Myko etc but Al Hamidi really looks a bit of a wally.
The alternative view of course is just that I'm old now and no fun. Both explanations equally plausible.

Thread | Chelsea fans really really don’t want KM
at 08:47 23 May 2024
Protests about Boehly and the board now planned. Which is a big deal given Chelsea have such a placid fan base normally.
KM and his agent appear to have pulled off the remarkable feat of upsetting everyone here but also sounding out a club where the fan base don’t want him either.

Thread | Other Chelsea loanees; Alfie Gilchrist
at 16:14 8 May 2024
We should now be seen as safe pair of hands and more by Chelsea for their youth talent.
Would like to see Alfie Gilchrist on loan next year. Has been v v good whenever called upon this season and played a blinder against spurs and Son the other night.
Can play RB and CB. Would assume if we can only have two loans next year then versatility would be a key consideration. |

Thread | Pub forTicketless fans for Saturday?
at 10:33 1 May 2024
I'm assuming a lot of people like me, don't have tickets for Saturday (yet!), and some also flying over like me - one lad I know coming from NYC without a ticket!
Without tickets is there a particular pub that will better/worse to watch in?
I wanted to do Greyhound pre game but they aren't screening the match :(
Ps - goes without saying, if anyone is looking to sell a ticket please PM me!

Don't think I've seen any on the board before but if anyone wants to watch the game tonight, lady Godiva will be showing it and I'll be there along with one other Town fan.

Thread | Wes pictured training
at 11:35 21 Apr 2024
Sorry if covered already but latest pics on Club socials show Wes with the gang in training gear.
Didn’t have his boots on though or the GPS vest thing so may have just been doing gym.
No sign of Hirst though.
Would be a massive boost to have one or both of those on the bench on Saturday. Hull looked very good yesterday at a resurgent Watford. |

Thread | Ongoing criticism of KM, as per Bristol game
at 11:24 2 Apr 2024
These little jigs and star jumps inside his technical area are serving nobody. Just far too restrained for my liking.
Can only assume he’s a saving a Mourinho esque touchline run for the 98th min winner on Saturday. |

Getting run over in middle of the pitch.
Crying out for an extra man in there.

That Davis goal really did deserve a full on Tuchel/Mourinho touchline run from Kieran.
Far too reserved. |

Looked online, no info as yet.
Chances of them making it to general sale? Tempted to do the Arlingtons thing just to get a match ticket.
I live abroad so have only been to two games this season so don’t have any loyalty points sadly. |

Excellent with his feet, we all know that.
That is never the less, since Leicester, 4/5 goals now in two months you would reasonably have expected him to not concede. Their second tonight was bat sh*t insane, I have no idea what he’s doing losing his head like that.
Win is a win though and great finish by Omari and great character to come back to win it again. COYB. [Post edited 20 Feb 22:00]

After the events of the recent days, I'm reminded of some other posters people perceived to be "wind up merchants" - as such, whatever happened to the chap who claimed to have gone to Boro away on a mo ped?!
I recall he then had a made up job as a deep sea fisherman or similar?!
Mad as a box of frogs but good entertainment. [Post edited 14 Feb 10:54]

Thread | Apropos of nothing
at 08:24 12 Feb 2024
encountered Josh Sargent and Ashley Barnes in a west london coffee shop on Saturday morning.
Both are absolutely massive and Josh Sargent is one of those annoying cnts that was facetiming someone (I assume his partner) without headphones in so everybody could hear his conversation. Eventually was told off by another customer.
Ashley Barnes also looks like an extra from Rab C Nesbitt these days.

What’s happened here then?
I must confess to not following the wider EFL particularly but his career arc is extraordinary. He seems to have kind of hung around the lower EFL leagues and then peaked around mid table championship before Boro let him go almost for free.
Now, demonstrably in my opinion, he was the best midfielder in league 1 and one of the best in the championship seemingly. Did none of his other clubs see this or has KM just unlocked bundles of hidden potential? [Post edited 4 Oct 2023 8:12]
