Plenty of reputable journalists have run stories without quotes over the years. It isn't that unusual at all.

I don't think anybody - fans or journalists - are suggesting he's 'lost the dressing room.'

Ahhh the 'no quotes' argument I'm sure you're aware that people in football tell journalists things but don't wish to be quoted.

So if John Percy (or maybe the Mirror) wrote a story along the same lines you'd believe there might be some truth in it yes?

If people can put to one side the historical hatred of a certain newspaper, it's worth pointing out they do employ some people who know their stuff when it comes to football And there is a reason for that.

Must be about five years since I last posted there, can't say I've missed it, they weren't always the most welcoming, unless you were in with the in crowd and you didn't get much rational debate. Didn't realise it was still going. From what you say @RoboFox it sounds exactly like it always used to be which is sad, sad they haven't become a bit more progressive and friendly. However, no bitterness towards them, wish them well.

UPDATE I clumsily dropped my phone from the top floor of my house today. It went all the way down and the screen now doesn't work. Despite being a daft sod for dropping it, it's helped me make a decision!! Purchased a new iPhone 8 64gb (about £450) with 5gb data at £13pm which seems decent. Now to collect the new phone and transfer everything ... that'll be a challenge for an old fart like me ha.

I've had an iPhone SE (64gb) for over two years (purchased outright) but it's started to 'play up' a bit so I'm looking to get another phone. I have no major interest in getting some cutting edge tech, especially the super-expensive stuff. No problem getting another SE as I like the size and feel. However, I'm open to recommendations from you clever people as where I should be looking next ... iPhone 7 or 8 maybe PS I'm not an 'Apple fanboy' but I'd rather stick with an iPhone of some sort. Thanks x

People who don't pull in to the left when the lane is clear - standard annoyance. Also, on motorways, people who don't / can't keep to a steady speed when the road is essentially pretty clear. I click on to a set speed (usually about 80). You overtake people, then later on they overtake you, then you overtake them again etc. Maybe it's just who doesn't understand why drivers speed up, slow down, speed up, slow down when they don't need to.

EVERYTHING IS FINE THOUGH ........

Correct. 50 points would've seen us finish eighth in the past two seasons. It would also have seen us finish 13 points off 6th place in 17/18 and 19 points off 6th place in 16/17 in the battle for European football. Puel's record with us is 50 points from 37 games [1.35ppg] His first 8 games produced 17 points - if we'd sustained that (80/81 pts) we'd be looking at third place last season. After that honeymoon period, it's been 33 points from 29 games [1.13ppg] and we'd be looking at about 13th last season. We've lost 9 of our last 15 PL games, conceding 4 or more on 3 occasions. Stats can show all kinds of things - some good, some bad - so take your pick!

MON's 25th game for us was a 3-0 win over Birmingham, which was a fifth victory in seven games. I don't think people were too unhappy at that point.

Sorry if I was a terrible neighbour

I got seriously hacked off when we were doing well in 2015/16 when so many of our games were moved, especially towards the end of the season. Wish we'd kept all the games at Saturday 3pm - aside from a few midweek matches - and hadn't won the Premier League.

We drew 2-2 with ManU last season in a 7.45 Saturday KO.
