I get quite a lot of viewers watching me making quiches in fetish gear.

 

I’m on Only Flans.

Decent slice tbf

Was it just Pompey, Shrewsbury and Moonpig's ambulance chasers who we failed to beat at least once this season? 

With just a point taken from the Shrews they were our 'worst' opponent then I guess.

Regarding the two minutes not played at the end, my guess is that the ref got the word in his ear that the game at Posh had ended and there was therefore nothing to be gained by playing on. Getting the players off safely (and yourself obviously ref!) was the priority.

They beat Liverpool 4-3 today as the good weekend continues.

How on Earth is it possible that  3 people can dislike this?

Always a few.

Thankfully we can all appreciate that many more gave it a thumbs up and that a Bolton fan was decent enough to post that in the first place despite their no-doubt disappointment at finishing third.

OK,all you Dajaune lovers a chance to watch him in the FA Trophy,Gateshead/Solihull,4.15 pm 11th May,Wembley

And before I get berated it is just a reminder for your diaries,I for one am looking forward to see  this young man play.

 

 

 

I saw him play the full 90 minutes in Gateshead's 0-2 at AFC Fylde. Unfortunately he was rarely involved in what was an off-key team individual and team performance.

Indeed, but you've shown the form where it matters. You're clearly made of sterner stuff.

Cheeky sod! I was going great guns until the wet fart at Northampton. As I said at the time though, I had an extremely risque joke about Joe Longthorne lined up for the next preview (vs Blackpool) which would probably have led to a banning anyway 

OB mentioned during the commentary on Saturday that tickets were rumoured to have been going for circa £400 for Cambridge away. How much are the Carlisle ones going to fetch do we think?

1Wildsmith.....bit flappy and one led to a fine save, one great pass and several awful ones..... 6.5

35Nelson.....nuts and bolts CB..... 7

5Bradley......very good in an ungainly way..... 7.5

6Cashin.....my player of the season..... 7.5

2Wilson.....wears his socks too high..... 6.5

7Barkhuizen.....no time to make impact..... 6

12Smith.....not overly involved..... 6.5

32Adams.....industrious with a couple of excellent moments..... 7

17Sibley.....excellent assist and threatened going forward. Tidy defensively bar the obligatory yellow for a rash challenge..... 8 (MOTM)

16Thompson.....my favourite player. Got forward well in support and quick tidy feet on more than occasion..... 7

8Bird 🦅 .....great to see him back and hopefully can make his mark in his farewell appearance next week..... 6.5

9Collins.....numerous fine moments and tidy throughout. Unsung hero today for my money..... 7.5

11Méndez-Laing.....back on the scoresheet with the help of their keeper - why do goalies do that? Unlucky with effort from range against the bar..... 7

10Waghorn.....no chance to impact the game..... 6

.....we need is for Cheltenham to beat Peterborough.....

Not for me. We don't want Posh resting players against Bolton.

I reckon B4 meant to say "We are coming WITH you Pompey".

Derby fan Tom Bayliss to score the winner. Written in the stars.

He'll be well up for it you'd think. 

The first of three must win games I suspect. Nine points gives us a chance of second place but anything less - even seven - and I think it'll be the playoffs. 

COYR

1Wildsmith.....one excellent save and one last gasp hilarious header..... 7

2Wilson.....kept knocking but got no answer..... 6.5

35Nelson.....had his hands full but solid again..... 6.5

6Cashin.....fine performance..... 7.5

17Sibley.....steady without setting the game alight..... 6.5

11Méndez-Laing.....frustrating night but never hid..... 6

12Smith.....a couple of lovely passes and tidy throughout..... 7

16Thompson.....lively when introduced..... 6.5

32Adams.....always involved and combative throughout..... 7

27Blackett-Taylor.....costly miss early on and lacked the thrust of his previous performance..... 5.5

4Hourihane..... did alright..... 6

14Washington.....couple of decent moments and looked lively but lacks composure..... 6

7Barkhuizen..... struggled to get involved..... 5.5

9Collins.....some nice touches but no chances created for him..... 6.5

10Waghorn.....was that a manbun? 6

That's pretty good for non-league? And they play at the big athletics stadium, don't they? 

665 at Alfreton yesterday.

Their stadium always makes a crowd look sparse. They aren't one of the better supported non-league clubs although I think their supporter base is slowly increasing.

So few people there for a semi final ! 

Around 3,000 I believe.

An interesting move - he's gone to Iceland.

Nunns go to Iceland.

For anyone feeling negative I'd argue the following.

This is our second season following a significant meltdown off the pitch which resulted in obvious repercussions on it. We've consolidated and are now in a good position to return to the Championship. 

We have a sensible owner who genuinely loves the club and who has a desire to see the academy excel. He also isn't an egotistical and confrontational fool.

The squad we have will, I suspect, be subject to much change during the summer as the restrictions end. The style of play may well turn towards something a little easier on the eye as a result. It's all about getting out of this division and recruiting well before 24/25.

Either that or Ward & Wilson are full backs with Sibley in the 10

I think that is more likely.

Has that tramp with the bell had a bath yet?

Oh great. Poland through to stink the place out again in the finals.
