Got a VPN?

I got a non UK Firestick but I think Mrs ORM might have something to say about the chances of me watching it

That, my friend, is a complete bollock, as they say. How about your smart phone with a VPN added?

Interesting poll running on CP's Twitter.

No right or wrong on this now @Smiffy.

This will sadly be an opening day hammering 4-0 or 5-0

Our only hope is Oldham has the opening day jitters and we can escape with a 1-0 or 2-0 defeat

I think we will run on adrenaline and may just escape with a draw on saturday but reality will bite hard in the games after that. Absolutely ridiculous situation we are in.

I have this ridiculous thought that immediately the embargo is lifted Kev and the chaps will magic up some wonderful new additions to our team and we will rocket up the league and by Xmas this will all be a distant memory. Wibble.

Fonguck over Powell every time.

That’s disgusting

We certainly have the correct people at the club to make this happen ...


But as it stands, we are nailed on Relegation Favourites and the only way we avoid this is a Kev and gang master class and or the embargo being lifted

Wouldn't put it past them, but it's going to be difficult

The fl;y in the ontment hear is the tramp Ron martin goes to the court on Ang th 24th or what ever day it is .And tells the judge that he cant and wont be paying the HMRC bill .So we would be 10 piontsworse off .And he wouldnt care a jot .

 

[Petejames]

Our first 11 with what we have got isn’t terrible probably a mid table 11… obviously it’s keeping them all fit that will be the problem
And of course we can win Saturday!! Hopefully a good loyal support for Kev and the team they deserve it

Nailed on relegation favourites? According to who?

I'd have Powell in for this one. Shaun Hobson is not comfortable with fast people running at him.

 

[Maroon Blue]

Your right Casey never played, who the hell is Casey, the fox in the north bank???
Do not forget Shrimpet Hobson will be lining up for the oppo, our biggest miss this season.

I think after his sterling service to SUFC, Hobbo deserves better than this!

I am baffled by your response and manipulation of my post

I was responding to Shrimpet's post and reminding that Hobson, who Shrimpet had missed off his list of leavers would be facing us. Also that he would be our biggest miss (loss) of this season and therefore not too assume we would win comfortably.

I really rate Hobson and if you were to go back on my numerous match reports over the years you would see several man of the match performances in my opinion.

Poor from someone in your position as Staff member

I doubt @Spaceman Spiff meant any malice or manipulation in the way you interpreted it. I thought he was just having a mischievous dig at Shrimpet. No doubt Spiff will clarify.

 

[Strykr]

Spiff out.

Eh? Firstly it was a joke (fairly obviously I think), and secondly you typed Shrimpet not me - I didn’t amend your post as you suggest. Just an odd and unnecessary overreaction!

 

[Spaceman Spiff]

Spiff out.

Yep suits me! @Shrimpet steve can I get a lift?

And we would likely be wound up
