Still seeing people crying because soke clubs haven't decided to spunk 4 or 5 million a year on poor to average players Still seeing people crying because their are rules in place to actively discourage people running up 100s of millions of pounds losses for the clubs. You're genuinely insane people

I remember being buzzing about the Rodgers contract extension. I think the following years definitely made me lean more heavily towards pessimism

How have you found the step up this season in terms of ability? When Coalville have faced Step 5 teams in the Vase it's not felt like there's a massive gulf in quality between the two divisions. We've got Winslow on Saturday, another step 5 team top of their league. Unbeaten under the new management so hoping we can continue that and get through to the next round.

Just because he's actually been able to manage the clubs finances properly doesn't mean his argument is fallacious

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6699541/2025/10/14/tony-bloom-brighton-interview-psr/ Good article in the athletic with Bloom. This comment will upset a few that think the world is against us but he's spot on. “We don’t want anyone to break the rules. 
Everyone knows what they are and in PSR it’s a three-year rolling amount you can lose of £105million that doesn’t include things like the academy, the women’s team and any infrastructure projects. It’s a huge amount of money. “There’s a lot of media talk about it not working because it forces clubs to sell homegrown players. That’s really false. You don’t have to sell homegrown players. You just need to organise your finances in a way that you are not at risk of going over the limit. That’s fallacious arguments, which I’ve heard quite a lot. It makes no sense whatsoever.”

Think its just as simple as its down the road from him and he was eligible. Probably knows a fair few of the lads as well. Looks like and Van Veen are in the players champs today. Imagine they both thought, if were gonna be in Minehead anyway we may as well go for it

How was Rudders looking?

Pretty sure they've had plenty of abuse on here

Gezzy Littler should be some match tonight. I expect they'll both drag each other levels up Predictions for tonight Menzies (I have to pick one wild card ) Noppert Littler Clayton

2:40 the replay is. I was wondering how the keeper let the ball go through him There's one replay that shows that the defender gets a lovely glancing header on it to divert it in.

3 assists for centre backs must be rare Not watching as I've got the darts on but flashscores is absolutely pinging

Yes Dirkulese! Take a winner from either in the next, with very likeable blokes.

Dno why we play these pub teams in friendlies

I'm glad this has received the response it deserves

I was actually going to tag you in my post as an example of someone who consistently is able to challenge and discuss matters that mean a lot to you, without losing your head or resorting to petty comments. I don't know how you do it, but it's impressive mate Social media has amplified everything, people stuck in their echo chambers and see people as enemies that they don't respect if they're not in the same echo chamber. I love social media for dog videos, football updates and good news. Unfortunately the majority seems to be divisive and argumentative. Funnily enough, stick the same people in a pub together for a few pints and they'll probably get on just fine. Personally I try and avoid any news or discussion of it. Not because I want to be ignorant, but it's just too stressful and depressing. I just try to be a decent person and keep a smile on my face and others if I can. Unless I've had a few beers then I can turn into a sassy queen to be fair

Nice one Davie, RIP Prem thread

Starting to feel like mandatory therapy should be a thing. The amount of head losses I've seen from fairly normal and jovial users that have decided to leave because they've got wound up in gen chat is insane. It's all opinions and you have absolutely no control over things you're talking about. Get annoyed about proper things like Brendan Rodgers chapped lips and Nathan Jones loving playing up the camera

Christ Cammy, about gave me a heart attack watching that

Why didnt you use Jordan James as an example It was a poor loan signing on paper. Lad getting used to a completely new culture and level of football. Really odd choice for a short term signing. I feel sorry for the guy really. Hopefully we see a few moments of magic and he becomes a cult hero. But it really made no sense to me. Signing bang average ageing players on long and big contracts is also dumb. Its not one or the other.

100% agree with you. If I had the choice I'd rather see us developing these players.

I'd get him in league one. No point coming here so he rot in the 21s while Skipp and Soumare sit on the bench ahead of him.

Still confidenr he wont do anything. It'll go down as another flop in the market. Without even looking at his footballing ability. So much is stacked against the lad, so many factors that make it a really weird choice of signing on loan.

Feel like we've been crying out for this kind of signing for a while. Very impressive numbers, if he can get anywhere near that form it'll make a huge difference for us.

Faes is touch tight with the guy that gets the shot in at the start of the clip. Completely loses track of him haha

Well yeah, I'm just in the Luke Thomas thread so that's why I'm discussing him and not the other issues in the squad. He's a steady champ player and not a Prem player. So if we have Premier league ambitions, he ideally isn't going to be our starting left back if we're looking to go up. Seems fair to me.
