If the 49ers had a good quarterback they’d be my favourites, unfortunately they have Jimmy G. Who is an interception waiting to happen, and limits the passing game because the more you ask him to do the worse he gets.

Plug any top 10 QB in there and we'd at least walk the division each year...

Maybe I spoke too soon 

49ers made a mistake with bad throw 

6 point game with 8 minutes to go 4th quarter 

Jimmy G having his regular brain fart.  We get at least 1 a game...

If Everton agree to pay £7m in compensation and Rosinior & the rest of the back room staff are allowed to stay put we should let him go. Other than that they can get funked!!! 
 

I’d rather he stop, as he’s done/is going an amazing job but if it meant we still had a club at the end of the season then it’s a no brainer. 
 

Of course it’s a moot point as the Toffies won’t throw that kinda dosh as they’ve probably had to pay that to Rafa to leave, so it’ll be down to Wayne whether he stays or goes. Hopefully he’s seen how Fwank’s reputation is in the toilet since he jumped ship too soon

A mate who knows a couple of folk in the offices said there’s a staff meeting at 9am tomorrow morning, then one for the supporter’s club at 11am. This is it everybody… 

Funk Wycombe, funk Boro, funk the EFL, funk Mel, funk Fat Fwank, funk Fo**st, funk Dirty Leeds, funk Rob Dorset, funk John Percy, funk that chancer who works for The S*n, funk everybody!!!

Funk this, I'm going back to bed...

I want their heads on spikes!!!

That’s it. I’ve had enough, I’ve done my best to resist but all this poop has brought me to it. 
 

It’s time for this…

Lets face it, regardless of what our manager says, if an offer comes in for any player the administrators will have to accept, especially if we get to the end of the next week or so and they're still unable to announce a preferred bidder.

Saying that, as a sacrificial lambs I'd offer up Lawrence & Marshall.  We'd get a decent fee for the former and combined with the latter would free up plenty of wages to keep us ticking over.

What time did you get to bed?

Quite late ? 

From 15th on the league table down only Reading are showing okay-ish form so if we come away with 3 points on Monday and the form continues for a few more weeks things are going to get REALLY interesting…

Lets also not forget that bar 4-5 teams there’s a lot of bang average sides in this league. Yes it’s improbable, but not yet impossible…

Couldn’t agree more and something I can’t get my head round. I was in London Wednesday and mask wearing was >95% in fact on the tube I didn’t see anyone (bar the odd child) who wasn’t wearing one, every shop I go in it’s >95%. However even with this high adherence the cases are going through the roof? I’d love the forum scientists to explain it. 

This is purely a guess but I think the massive upsurge in cases are linked to what’s happening when the shops have closed, ie pubs, clubs & restaurants.  That plus the vaccine hesitancy amongst the age groups that are going out and slobbering over one another at the weekends. 

Now I’m just waiting for @B4ev6is to refer to him as Flange…

Excellent.  Now I don't have to watch it on my ipad...

China builds an artificial Island in the South China Sea, Russia holds vast Gas reserves and holds a lot of Europe to ransom, Saudi Arabia has a Journalist murdered, Azerbaijan is on the Grand Prix circuit, The West is robbing some African nations of their resources and dumping our waste on their land

We're all at it...why because morality gets spunked out the window where money is concerned, And all the above have more skeletons in their closets than Burke and Hare

 Very good point. Even though I can’t afford a decent electric car for the time being I do what I can for the environment. I’ve cut down on meat in our weekly shop and I’m really anal when it comes to recycling my rubbish. But little did I know that barely a third of what I put in my blue bin actually gets recycled. The rest gets shipped off to the Third World and stuck into landfill…

I totally forgot about that. Although the scenario did remind me of the end of Pixar’s Cars. Max has a blow out at the end. The race ends as a dead heat. They have a race off in a weeks time, but in the meantime Max spends a week tarring a road in a backwater village and finding some humility.

Bottas somehow wins the race off, and everyone learns lessons. 

It’d take a lot longer for that to happen…

I’d love to verstappen crash into Hamilton on purpose, but it’s done in such a dirty manner, that every other car on the grid quits in protest, leaving Lewis to walk the rest of the way for the point he needs. Verstappen realises what’s happening, and it ends in a foot race to the finish line. 

Someone’s watched Talladega Nights recently ? 

I think the FIA have ballsed this up big time the past few races. If Lewis wins next week (??) the majority of fans will give it an asterisk, claiming that the stewards had to give him help. Clamping down on Verstappen in Brazil could’ve nipped it in the bud but they didn’t bother and he now thinks he can do what he wants.

For all the drama today, what a crap track…

Think we’ve beaten ourselves tonight. Basics let us down, Shinnie getting drawn to the ball for their first instead of staying with Willock. Forsyth & Byrne getting caught upfield for the 2nd. 
 

Take Willock, Austin & Grey out that side and they’re nothing special.

Caught fault the effort but bar Lawrence, there’s just not enough quality up top.

Lots do tho, Player offered a contract with pay rise if they get promotion, If still signed on then the reduction sets in if relegated, If a player doesn't like the initial contract then don't sign it, Stay where you are on maybe a smaller wage, And hope one of the big 6 come and sign you who will most probably never be relegated.

Oh i know they have them, but can't imagine them agreeing to 70%  Most of them are around 30% tops.  Something needs to be done, cus it's a massive advantage to relegated sides.  Unless that relegated side is Middleborough...

Surely every premier league player contract should include a 70% reduction upon relegation. Then you no longer need the parachute money. 

I can't imagine any footballer signing a contract if that was put in front of them ? Thing is, what alternatives are there??  The story says they need to come up with some, but don't mention any possibles...

Until it's mathematically impossible there's a chance.  As @LondonRam2 pointed out our form hasn't been that bad at all.  Just frustrating draws like Luton & Preston have let us down.  Another 4 points from those two games and things would be looking a lot better.

I'll declare it now, but if we manage to stay up I will drive all the way to Middlesborough and stand outside The Riverside until I get to laugh right in Steve "I'm like this because my hair has always been crap" Gibson's face...
