Well so far I am not that impressed. I mean what has he achieved in all the time he has managed our club. He hasn’t won a single game for us. If anything he has done more to help the opposition. His tactics seem non existent so far. Does anyone know what his preferred first 11 is? Because I...

Love a bit of Chris Rea me

He may not mean Iran. He may be talking about the American war of independence. In which case I think we should accept.

I don't think we will get a lot from McDonald's

Only one stat really matters. And we won't know that until May 2026

If I was Mr Gibson (I'm not) I would be asking Mr Edwards what he thinks he did wrong at Luton. If he says nothing, it was the clubs / players / injuries fault I would stay away. If he says, yes this is where I went wrong and this is what I will do differently at the Boro then he may be worth...

He turned Spence into an asset. The man is a genius.

Too many

Three points deduction was a disgrace. Imagine if they applied the same rule during the pandemic when every club had to postpone games for exactly the same reason? A virus infecting the entire first team is a valid reason to cancel a game but the football authorities disagreed. They felt the...

I remember 85/86. I was just a kid. But it was bad because I was hopeful Bruce could keep us up. He didn’t. Then came the awful summer when we thought No more Boro. I remember talking about where we could go to watch the football. Pooles / Darlo / Guisborough town, Billingham synthonia My mates...

When you think of the squad Sheff United has and the parachute payments and one of the bigger fan bases in the league. Chris Wilder must be one of the most inept managers to have ever worked in the top two divisions Or he must really really hate us and did all he could to get Sunderland promoted...

I honestly thought he would do the honourable thing and resign. My thoughts were good on him for trying but he now knows management isn't what he is made for. Well I got that wrong didn’t I So I am not that optimistic for next season and this season isn’t even over yet But one of Englands best...

I think he will walk

Can’t help but feel really sad about this. It’s good that the people of Scunthorpe get to continue making steel. It’s important to make our own steel. But why are we just realising this now we are down to our last blast furnace.

My view Those fans deserve it. Great people in my opinion. I just don’t like what I am seeing at the top level in our game. Man City, Chelsea under that Russian bloke and now Newcastle under the Saudi government. They may as well bypass the football and just go and buy all the major trophies...
