    Out with a tangerine donkey-lasher tonight.

    I’ll ask him, though he’ll probably say “who?”

    Not on that Hill doesn’t give you a call to discuss team news MK. Grow up ffs.

    It’s a football forum ffs.

    Team selection has always been and always will be one of the most popular topics to comment on.

    What would your preferred lineup have been?

    2 shots on target according to official stats.

    But if they don’t hit the back of the net it matters not a jot!

    On the contrary, it feels like the whole boardroom has deserted the club.

    The airliner that’s losing altitude so you walk to the front of the plane to find the cockpit empty.

    No one at the controls, so we’re going to crash and burn.

    Six defenders in the starting lineup at home!

    Pugh and Perry the midfield engine room?

    Oh dear!

    “I just got fed up with the constant left/liberal bias”

    How can a forum such as this have an active bias? Especially given that it was a lack of moderation that led to the NFF closure.

    UTI99 could post that he’s sick of the anti Swann “bias” on BF. You know as much as me that there is only a bias of opinion because the majority of posters have lost all faith in the ownership, given the events of recent seasons. He is in a minority.

    Just because more people disagree with your views than support them isn’t a bias, it’s part of life I’m afraid.

    Do something worthwhile for a change.

    Anyone remember the Don Welbourne/Graham Rathbone incident?

    Didn’t that result in a ban that was unusual at the time?

    Unless it’s Raul Jimenez or Adama Traore I wouldn’t get too excited.

    I’m guessing you’re referring to Luke Matheson who played last Saturday.

    Unless he’s got a daft mate!

    The loan is restrictive and that is the main problem.

    And it was taken out at a time when we were already struggling with a sub-standard squad and poor management.

    It has actually worsened the situation, not improved it.

    Swann is not going to pay it off so we’re effectively hamstrung and going down with a whimper.

    Living in Northumberland the NLP will be shite for me.

    If Halifax go up then home games will be closer than any away fixture.

    I’ll be relying on the Heed coming up, and that’s a bloody awful place to watch football!

    Memories of Macclesfield, 1969(???)

    My abiding memory of that game was the fog!

    The following season we were drawn away at West Brom. I remember being marched from the railway station to the Hawthorns with a police escort, whilst bricks and bottles rained on us from both sides!

    All SWANN does is duck and dive the truth and then blame the supporters for his actions and inactions.

    Not having that!

    He blames Covid too!

    I can just imagine Roman Abramovich on his yacht ringing Nike to sort out Chelsea’s kits.

    He would if he were a control freak!

    Exactly so!

    The fact that the colours faded out should have been a clue.

    Three for me as well, although to be fair all of them are better than last year’s options.

    Speaking of which, it’s January and we still await the unveiling of the white away strip that supporters had ?paid? to have their names incorporated into.

    Another SUFC PR disaster.

    We’re no better than clubs in NL(N). And I’ve seen a few of them in recent seasons.

    And as we couldn’t score on Love Island we’ve no chance of overtaking anyone.

    But until it’s a mathematical certainty (probably mid March) I’ll continue to dream!

    Cheers for everything, Swanns, the whole lot of you aren’t fit to wipe my firm but pliant.

    If you’ve been following the Iron for 60 years and it’s still firm but pliant then that’s something else you’ve been fibbing about!

    Colchester and Oldham finishing below us will do for me!

    Simple formula.

    No shots on target means no goals (barring a lucky OG).

    No goals scored means you can’t win. That means the best you can hope for is 0-0 draw.

    Draws will not keep us in the league.

    Would you relocate from Exeter to Scunthorpe for four months?
