  1. I don’t think anyone reasonable expects the owners to continue to cough up. Most of us, ST holders and POTD alike, are just grateful to have such a beneficial owner, long may it continue.
  2. Maybe you should offer to get involved and volunteer to help the Foundation, attend meetings, etc. Then again, you wouldn’t be able to snipe from the sidelines, would you?
  3. I find that an outrageous view, and I speak as somebody who often wishes that critics of the club/team would “keep quiet”! Everybody who attends a match contributes to the running of the club, and the POTD supporter’s money is as good as the season ticket holder’s.
  4. But are you saying that Reid must be included in the match day squad because of his wage, and to hell with MM’s commendable desire to enforce discipline? What’s the alternative?
  5. Yes I thought the Belgium game was highly entertaining. Some of England’s attacking play was as good as I’ve seen in a long time. Mainoo is such a prospect, unbelievable maturity at 18. As for Bellingham, you run out of superlatives, though he did miss a couple of sitters (for him) before he rescued the draw. Bowen and Foden were also excellent. Defence will probably be our Achilles heel at the Euros, but if we can stop the silly mistakes we have an excellent chance of winning the tournament.
  6. You’re entitled to your view, especially after making the effort to trek out to Dagenham. We all feel let down by below par performances. I’m merely pointing out that this squad has flattered to deceive many times this season and so I find it odd when people get apoplectic with rage when another disappointing result comes along. It is what it is. Instead of hurling abuse fans need to get behind the team for what remains of the season and let’s see what happens. Let’s face it, if we are as bad as some on here claim, the fact we are 9th and in a battle for a play off spot tells you this league is rubbish. Our squad is limited in ability and fight, but instead of laying into them, get behind them. If we don’t go up, the close season will see changes and then we go again in August.
  7. I had Dagenham down as a draw. I don’t particularly care about performances at this stage, only points matter. There are limp rags on here who either blub about another terrible performance, or get off in their delight at same - you know who you are - but I remain confident that we will end with 72 points. Whether that will be enough, who knows. Why said limp rags expect this fairly average squad to suddenly produce promotion form at the business end of the season is a mystery.
  8. Yes, sounds like woeful negligence/stupidity on the part of the Lemsagam regime - what a surprise. That said, we are clearly not the usual financial services outfit. I shudder at the memory of how bureaucratic the FCA could be, but you would think that a letter from the board to them pointing out the change of regime, with examples of how much better the current set up and ownership are, followed by polite persistence, might eventually get those permissions back.
  9. It's a funny thing about craft beer - there are some I genuinely like and will drink for far longer than is probably good for me, like Neck Oil or Brewdog IPA. But I do find generally that one can taste pretty much like another, I've always thought I'd have no chance of telling them apart in a blind tasting. It's probably an age thing and I'm becoming a dinosaur, but for me there is a lot more variety in real ales - good and not so good! I do think it's great that so many microbreweries have popped up all over the world in the last decade or two, there's far more choice now than in my misspent youth.
  10. I expect to see a post calling for the resignation of all the landlords of all the pubs visited.
