    As if he'd leave Coventry to come here <laugh>

    More chance of me shagging Jenna Ortega and Sydney Sweeney in a three way

    Without wanting to sound arrogant, I definitely think we could have got Lampard back in May/June if we'd wanted him. And then we could have given him the summer to help build his team.

    The chances of us getting him now are incredibly remote. But that would be very SR: don't try and get someone when you can get them, then try later when you can't.

    Ornstein reporting that U21 manager and now first team interim manager, Tonda Eckert, is a contender for the permanent position.

    Well yeah that would make sense. The interim will always be in the frame if they appoint one

    Jesus Christ, surely not.

    Honestly feel sorry for Will Still. Deserved better.

    The basket case marches on

    I think this post nicely illustrates the varying differences between the generations posting here. Who are Jenna Ortega and Sydney Sweeney ?

    Nice to see the bisexual community represented here , though.

    Chatting to Boro fan about Carrick on Reddit:

    "In game decisions aren't great, fails to recognise what adjustments are required, fairly stubborn... but with a squad like Southampton's, he should be very effective."

    I thought the decision to fire Martin was really hard and they really liked him? I didn't know it ended on bad terms.

    Don't think they'd hire him either way mind you
