Love my shirt @Lander. Thanks so much x 

RIP B4, so sad and such a young age,
I only met him once, very briefly, but feel a big loss because of his presence on this forum. 
Condolences to his family and friends and a huge thanks to his unconditional support of our football club.
 
Someone further up said "Be more B4".......lovely words. 

I never met him, but I feel I knew him so well. 
Sad, desperately sad news. Condolences to all who knew and loved him. 

I don't think it would be an exaggeration to say that I believe Tony Weston will single-handedly fire us back in to the Premier League within three seasons.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bloke 😂

I've come down with an horrific cold/sinusitis overnight so can't travel now.
Can someone else please mutter ffs every 5 minutes on my behalf.

Nyambe, Bird and Barkhuizen in. Small outbreaks of football, chips, sausage and curry on the sea front, jumpers for goalposts 

Happy to be proven wrong every day of the week if it means we win.

He was, and I remeber he got pelters about his commentating when he first started but he worked really hard at it and did get better.

Josh,
I have been lucky enough to have had my soulmate for almost 38 years now... over 26 of them as man & wife.
Literally nothing would fill me with more dread than having to spend just one solitarily minute without her as the biggest part of my life.  My soul, my heart, my every breath.

I have known personal tragedy of course, as have many of us, and indeed have bore witness to my own father suffering precisely what you are now going through yourself, albeit many years ago now.

But to imagine having to suffer a tragedy such as this myself, remains unthinkable.
 
My heart goes out to you, Josh, and I truly wish you nothing but eventual peace, happiness, and everlasting memories.
Stay strong, buddy, and may your beautiful wife sleep in eternal peace.

Beat Cambridge and Blackpool in our next two games and I think confidence will be soaring. Not only will we have have taken 19 points from 10 games (certainly top four form), we would have beaten two promotion rivals away (Posh and Blackpool).
It’s do-able. Time to be positive. 
This League is garbage. There are no standouts this season. 
 
 

Another week and another round of matches and one or two real doozies to savour. Tonight we see France return and Galthie has picked a pretty formidable squad. Great news for the French and any neutrals hoping to see some running rugby, a horror story for Namibia. I can see France winning this by 60+. Jonathan Danty and Cyril Baille return from injury, Dupont returns after a rest week to partner Jalibert in the halfbacks and the metronomic Ramos returns at 15. Does he ever miss? 
Tomorrow we have Argentina, desperate for a result after a humbling at the hands of 14 man England. Samoa could sneak into the next stage with a win though, but I expect Argentina to put up a better show and keep their hopes alive. That said, Samoa have a bonus point win under their belts and will fly at the Argies from the off. This might not be pretty and won't be for the faint-hearted, but it could be a compelling watch.
On Saturday I'm expecting a routine win for England against Chile, but hoping to see a little more of the urgency and ambition we saw in the last 25 minutes against Japan, when we actually looked ok. For the love of god though Borthwick, play Arundell! If he's not worth a start against this lot, then why bloomin bring him? And if we do play him, let's try to get the ball in his hands before the 60th minute, pretty please! Seriously, Jonny May is not and never has been an international standard rugby player. His defence is suspect, he's horrible under the high ball and he has concrete hands. Likewise, Elliot Daly lacks the pace these days to dust any winger with pace and Max Malins surely needs looking at, given Cadan Murley's inexplicable omission from the squad. Whatever the line up, nothing less than a convincing win will be acceptable against the lowest ranked team in the tournament. Attack, attack, attack!!!
Saturday evening sees two titans go to war as the Irish take on the fearsome South Africans in a World Champs meet world #1 ranked crunch match. The starting line ups are as you'd expect and the Bokke go with a 7/1 bench split so we know exactly what's coming. This will be brutal and attritional stuff and whilst either team could win, my fancy is the Saffas by 1-7 points. I just think they'll suffocate Ireland, though I'll be screaming for an Irish win all the same.
Sunday sees a two decent match ups; Scotland take on a muscular Tongan team in a match of contrasting styles and I'd love to see them put a marker down with a strong performance. Finn Russell has been a little quiet thus far, likewise Duane Vermeulen but I can see that changing on Sunday and again I'll be cheering for a home nation win. I hope I don't jinx them, but I'm hoping for a statement performance from the Scots.
The second leg of the sunday double header sees Wales take on Australia with everything on the line; the Wallabies have copped for some awful flak back home after an insipid performance against an admittedly talented Fijian side and despite sitting pretty currently, I don't find Wales convincing at all, even with Gats coaxing some improvement from a beleaguered Welsh outfit. With neither outfit playing the way they can, it's very hard to call as both teams are capable on their day and both teams have strike runners who can turn a game in the blink of an eye. I'd like to see the Welsh win and with attacking threats like North, Adams and Rees-Zammit, who is to say they won't, but I fancy Australia to edge a tight game in the toughest pool to call. Wales have secured the two bonus point wins already though and with Fiji still in the mix, it's an absolute livewire of a group.
Enough of my waffling. Enjoy the games chaps. I'll be back to explain why I got it all wrong on Monday 🤣

I blame Warne.🙄

England seem to have a disproportionately high number of stupid players.
They give away so many needless penalties and show aggression in all the wrong ways.
Many of the players were the golden generation we had hopes for years ago. If they haven’t done it yet they never will.
There is so little cohesion in the team and that’s been the case for a while.
I may be being unreasonable but I’d love to see England actually trying to score a try by passing to each other rather than doing an impression of a group of horny cows.

Honestly?

I do think that it will be a wonderful world cup though, so in all honesty, I'm just not going to worry about England and simply enjoy some of the choice match-ups on offer. France Vs the Kiwis already has me salivating like a starving puppy in a steakhouse.

Not surprised by the start of this season really even though a few of the results have been pretty awful to watch. 
 
Its not just the team and players we are rebuilding but the whole club with a new owner who has been honest enough to tell us supporters that the budget is limited. 
Im sure the manager and coaching team along with players really want to do well, win many games and hopefully push into top six for the season. We do have quality for this league on the field. We know that. 
Yesterday was not just the result that made me happy… more the response to going a goal down and being outplayed up until we equalized. 
Bad teams go under at this point. Get overwhelmed, cant think to sort it out and understand whats going on and what to do about it. We were the total opposite and its was impressive how the manager and players handled the situation. 
Next game cant come soon enough.

Warne dripping Waghorn a little deeper is what I read.
It's small but effective tactical tweaks that many of us have been calling out for, so if correct that's another encouraging sign.
