    Agreed, maybe I’m being harsh but I can’t think of a game where he’s played well or stood out. He must be about 23 now? So probably nearing the finished article too.

    I’ve always liked WW’s angry patter but I don’t get the hatred for Smug here.

    I don’t believe he’s a fraction as annoying as oddbod, The Rat, FootballFan etc

    It’s nice and chilled here compared to the hysteria over the road. I’ll keep drinking the Kool Aid <cheers>

    I agree, a local homegrown product or not, the academy and the coaches job is to take the emotion out of the decision. If he was good enough, he'd have been a regular despite his injuries. Jack Ross, Phil Parkinson and now Lee Johnson (and the various coaches they've brought with them) all seem to think he's not good enough. I think we have to trust their judgement.

    Possible the link with Bristol City could see us taking one of their players who LJ may rate above Embleton , pure conjecture on my part just a thought with LJ being there until fairly recently . I think their will have to be some juggling to stay within squad and salary cap rules , hopefully LJ along with Speakman will be a lot better recruiters than what we have had in recent years as our needs are quite obvious .

    Him and the 'idiot clique' have spent all morning discussing me, despite insisting they're not obsessed and me not being on there for over a year
    ...

    ... definitely not obsessed though, no sir <laugh>

    I'm also, apparently, posting vitriolic attacks on Ghandi despite us having a 20 minute phone call yesterday.

    Abolutely determined to cause trouble and make problems between the two forums. They've clogged up the takeover thread to the point where people have stopped posting on it, exactly why the place is going downhill.

    Sad little people tbh.

    The Electric Acid variety by any chance? A highly refreshing beverage fully recommended by the Grateful Dead.

    Changing the subject and I probably should put this in the RTG thread but has anyone noticed Oddbods tendency to go rooting around the dictionary in an argument some of them aren’t even spelled right...:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Heard again today that the EFL have approved KLD, and if so that means that it's all down to the club to announce. I really hope that they're not going to string it out trying to do transfer business cheaper before they do.

    It needs announcing in time for Look North imo.

    Hope so mate. Good point about transfers aswell. Would be nice, for just once, if we did our transfer business early in a window.

    Sorry mate, that wasn't clear.

    I was told by the same lad who gave me Christmas Eve as the first announcement.

    He messaged to tell me about something else today, a new middle level staff member coming in with KLD, and mentioned the EFL again.

    It's knocking a bit of the edge of it, all this waiting.

    Assuming LN bother to report it. Unless I slept through it last night no mention of our re arranged match on Saturday, only remember interminable cover of N/C Falcons
