Tbf I’m not sure you have been his top critic

I think we have to take into account a couple of other factors. 1) how much PW is liked by DC and 2) how much DC is looking to reset the whole club and the destabilising consequences any new management team coming in will be. DC has shown this season that he will trust his own judgement before that of (some) vocal fans and he clearly has a strong relationship with Warne - the noise then probably served to strengthen Warne’s position rather than weaken it. The club and management team bunkered down. Nobody is unsackable and PW will eventually go, but some are less sackable than others - see Lionel and Jim as an example. Promotion helped Jim’s position just as it will (hopefully) strengthen Warne’s.

I recall - but this may be an older brain fade - that we tried enhancing the crowd noise through speakers at the BBG one year. It didn’t last long because the authorities said it was against the rules. I think you’re only allowed to broadcast after goals are scored, when subs are made (ie information) and in emergency.

It wasn’t because there were always numbers left over

You’ve only persuaded Mrs W once in 13 years to get into bed? In all honesty that’s a Connor Salmon strike rate

Someone tell @angieram that her cover’s blown

On the ‘Warne breaks players’ topic Sportscene on Radio Derby was interesting last night listing many clubs across the leagues (including Orient) with high numbers of injuries this season. Perhaps it’s nothing to do with our training methods If you look at the way he dealt with TJJ for example - a very careful reintroduction that unfortunately went wrong - or Rooney’s freak injury or Ward’s or Collo’s - then maybe there’s other factors at play.

Chipolata?

That if you stepped on the cracks in the pavement (especially where the pavements were flags) bears would get you. To this day I still find myself subconsciously walking in the centre of pavement flags.

McGoldrick is the current holder…….though your general point is right that you then have to go back to Vydra and then Rob Hulse and Steve Howard. We have given the award to a lot of defenders over the years, liberally sprinkled with midfielders. Perhaps we just like good defenders in our club - Roy Mac was the first recipient and Dave and Toddy came soon after - but John O’Hare got it the second time so I’m not sure what that tells you 🤣

Not necessarily wholly true - except the MM bit - if the investor(s)/owners sell the club to someone else for more than they put in then they do get a financial return. I would imagine, for example, that Mike Ashley made money on the Newcastle deal, that the Glazers have benefitted from Man U. So it is possible. Would also imagine that DC might find it hard to get his money back from buying us given what he had to cover, never mind the running costs.

Around this time - 10am - as nervous as sin thinking we might struggle and that they’d do us over. Ah well.

Why would any punishment of Leicester have to be retrospective? They could be deducted points the next time they’re in the PL. There’s no chance any punishment will be this season anyway. There’s only six weeks to go. It’ll take that long to appoint a barrister never mind brief them.

Is a padeo someone who plays that paddle tennis game like Dwight?
