    That said Obi, I've never minded being in the spotlight.

    Now I'm not one to cast aspersions as you well know, but how come me and Trev, who are relatively senior on this board are still awake and fully compos mentis. It's somewhat concerning that whilst we are engaging in articulate repartee, you young f@ckers lose the ability to converse after a few pints and a ****.

    1. Trev has never been fully compos mentis. <laugh>

    2. If you ask his daughter......Trev likes a good old natter at 3am <laugh>

    3. It's not classed as still being up when you needed to get out of bed to go for a piss <laugh>

    I watched their last CL match against Qarabag, they didn't look anything special and we seem to play better in the CL. Tripps vs Williams should be interesting.

    1. It keeps the kids on their toes. They’ll never know when to put me in a care home.
    2. That’s when conversations are at their best.
    3. It’s better than doing it in the bed.

    Where are any of our young prospects? Or do we not have any?

    Big test of the managers mettle this one. Pope should be dropped after yet more clangers (his floundering for their disallowed goal was special), Burn should be dropped after some horrific form and being targeted game after game, Gordon and Joelinton should be dropped and the formation should shift. We will see if any of those things happen in the coming matches.

    Don't you think it's a bit of an obvious situation when Botman next to burn, Joelinton next to burn and Gordon in front of burn are having problems.

    Lots of reports suggesting a lot of the squad have been ill over last few weeks. May explain the weekend performance
