Reply | Two reasons to remain calm.
at 07:29 13 Apr 2024
Boro are going to be almost exhausted as us;
Expecting few chances, possibly a mistake to decide it.
Boro had Hull away on Weds night arriving home after midnight.
Thursday with their wags and Friday long journey here.
For once we are luckier with the fixture Gods.
It's been plain to see how tired we are. We used up every drop of ourselves
to beat Soton and have since been running on empty.
Tired players show in less creativity;
fewer runs, less ball control, losing 50/50 balls.
...Not every time but slightly more than normal.
Plymouth result gives us a boost plus the fact that 2 weeks off are coming
(well not exactly 2 weeks but many more rest days)
plus the cavalry (Burns and Hirst) may return.
Lets somehow drag ourselves over the line today.
We have a proud home record and a win makes a huge statement.
We are mentally the strongest team in this league. |

Reply | Waiting in Chennai Airport enroute to Portman Road

Well, I have to bite at this because Chennai is my closest airport.
Unsure if you are speaking of arrivals or departures.
Arrivals, like all airports, is a bit spartan but then you are about to enter the funfair where everything is everywhere all at once.
Aerohub mall is just outside. Also a metro station and a railway station.
South Indian filter coffee is a local delicacy and cheap. As you approach the airport its price increases from 20p to 50p (just outside) and of course much more when in departure lounge. There are also international type coffee shops in the departure terminal.
Like so much here it’s about good intentions but poor design, overviews and lack of maintenance. Chennai airport is actually infamous for the glass wall ceiling tiles suddenly falling down and the odd monkey.
Maybe you dodged a bullet. |

Thread | Admiration from foxes.
at 11:15 8 Mar 2024
Wanted to post this after the Bristol City game:
The foxes have taken loving to a new level. When their match finished it appears many watched our last 15 minutes and their emotions went from schadenfreude to certitude that we would somehow find a way to win.
Fair play to them, they acknowledged that we were excellent and a credit to how football should be played.
Or are they wishing they could be more like us
and see attack as best means of defence.
This is from the moment of the penalty:
But open any page and we are admired by most of them.

Well, I enjoy foxestalk championship thread.
We’ve just caught them at a time of bereavement.
Imagine what it would be like on here; cruising to a record points haul then wheels falling off and not only the Leeds juggernaut but an annoying little tractor filling up the rear view mirror.
Even when they were 12 points ahead, some of them remembered their history of choking.
Particularly galling that they are fat track bullies that struggle against the better sides.
I think it’s because they are not ruthless enough, too long sucking the premiership teat, has made them soft.
However that’s their problem, but fun to be a fly on their wall hearing them bemoan Boro etc treating them as a cup final, then the following matches Boro and Cov lose to all and sundry.
They are usually very respectful towards us, maybe because IF we were to both promoted they see us as obvious whipping boys.
However, that remains to be seen.
Yes, seems to be jealousy that we are able to keep going for 90+ minutes, and bring on goal scoring subs.
There was a time when they accused us of just being a running team that would soon tire.
Then that we didn’t have the quality of players to sustain a challenge.
Of late it’s been quite a lot of admiration so we have to forgive them an emotional outburst.
Possibly the stress has got to them,
Furthermore, historically we’ve often been ahead of them. In our last prem relegation we went down together; us for a number of reasons including European matches taking too much out of us; whilst they were just useless and finished bottom.
Incidently the next season(02/03) they obviously hadn’t prepared their pre-season properly as 3 of their centre-backs pulled up injured during the round 3 of the season; 6-1 to us, thank-you. Sadly, for us form reversed and they were promoted.
Well, that’s the football aspect as for their forum:
I find it usually very mature and balanced, has some great charts of upcoming games degree of difficulty and generally lots of good statistics.

The Swansea stream was working so the problem must be the TownTV end.
Yes, I gave up on our site after 30 mins and looked elsewhere.
Would be great if an informative statement is issued |

In February 2010, Guardiola managed his 100th match for Barcelona's first team. His record stood at 71 wins, 19 draws and ten losses, with 242 goals for and 76 against.
Some Cup matches were included
...I know the OP was about English managers

Travelled to Qatar to pronounce our prospective boy hale and hearty.
Then a minor back strain prevents him playing for his country.
Which then suffers the mother of all defeats
freeing up our new boy to edge ever closer.
Curiouser and curiouser. |

Absolutely brilliant half season.
Well Done
We just have to keep going otherwise fingernails will disappear.
Those failed prem sides have more ammunition to deal with in the January sales.
Just don't like the vision of a marathon runner arriving at the stadium in second and getting the staggers with metres left |

Reply | It will take some time to read it - but this is a brilliant thread.

Yes, it is indeed a brilliant thread and I've been enjoying it for a few weeks
My favourite quote is when one wit suggests naming Hirst
Thush as he's an irritating c**t
Seems a case of having too much access to funds and fishing in the wrong pond ...then you miss the gems at your feet. |
