Note to self: Use "twelvety" more.
Second note to self: Nominate @Malone as Czar of making the English language more fun.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Hateful wretch of a player, shamed himself with that "almost crashed his car" quote at an the idea of a mere 50k a week contract offer.
But can he win against the likes of Northampton putting twelvety men behind the ball? That's the key consideration here.

In @drcongo absence, Pack it in! You've made the same point again and again, Move on and bring something new to the conversation!
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
I thought someone had said he made those comments in his post match interview on Saturday. I could very well be wrong about that, and I'm not re-reading the thread to find it.
Anyway having just listened to it he clearly didn't (although there may be a longer clip somewhere?).

Having said that, even if MB did say something to the effect like "any new signings are on the board" he might simply mean that he and the team have identified players and now it's down to the board to negotiate to bring the players in. Quite frankly that would be entirely sensible since his priority must be to work with the players he has to bring about a change in results.
So much can be made out of almost any comment, especially if it's misquoted - which happens deliberately aometimes I'm sure. Far better to include the actual video/audio when referring to what's been said. Even then you need to know the context in which the comment was made to even begin to understand what it means.
However I don't think you can say it's complete made up lie either without evidence, that merely remains an opinion. It would be an opinion I agree with in the absence of any evidence to the contrary.
I've said enough.
Re: Match Day Thread: Northampton
There were certainly a few people who seemed to lose their footing. That probably explains the lack of silky skills on display on Saturday....

I can promise that the defending Blooms from jibes will stop at the exact same time that jibes towards Blooms stop.
Re: Rumour Mill
It's a poster who has about 35 posts and almost every one of them is criticising one of our players/manager.
