    Age or gender is irrelevant if the punditry is banal, which it always is.

    Masters of stating the bleeding obvious the lot of ’em.

    Get rid!

    I mute the sound when the so called experts are pontificating anyway.

    That self-righteous sh*t Shearer and the laughing policeman Micah Richards are worse than anyone else.

    Just show the game with a commentator and summariser. Interview the manager and/or players post match and leave it at that!

    It would save tv companies £££££s!

    On Platy Joobs weekend it rather let’s Her Majesty down with Northern Ireland, Scotland and England all losing.

    Left to the Welsh to do her proud this afternoon. But if they beat Ukraine they’ll be the pariahs of world football!

    Ah well, there’s always the cricket!

    Ah, more words put into people’s mouths.

    I was delighted Neil was elected, and was happy to see Lee Turnbull back at the club, but I don’t think I’m the only one who would prefer to to hear it direct from the Swann’s bill!

    However, as many of the above posts say, can we believe anything coming out of the club these days?

    Cynical perhaps. But can you blame us?

    Neil was elected in NI,one of those who elected him was that trust that you joined.

    I know! But I also know it’s convenient to have these middle-men to take the flak instead of the chairman taking a direct hit!

    You must remember that Awaywego has set himself up as chief mischief-maker on IB.

    You’ll need a whole tub of Saxa to take his posts seriously!

    Didn’t we have a manager who was a Scunthorpe lad and loved the club to bits?

    Or was that just a bad dream?

    Fairly straightforward I-A. Messrs Loft and Nuttall being a case in point.

    Peter Crouch and Andy Carroll would have struggled to score in our last three campaigns.

    You’re not near the game anywhere at the LS.

    As it was built for athletics the seating is set at a much lower gradient than most modern football stadiums (SJP eg)

    Take your binoculars CC!

    Phew! Had me worried for a moment.

    Thought the thread was about our first signings of the closed season.

    Definitely don’t need any more young defenders.

    For selfish reasons I’d rather Grimsby and Chesterfield lost out as they’ll both fill the away end next season.

    However, Hurst proving Swann was wrong to sack him will leave me with a wry smile!

    But on the podcasts Swann said he had broad shoulders and could take the criticism. Said his door was always open to those with grievances.

    So why would he desert the club in its darkest hour?

    It’s not West Ham’s ground they only lease it. Bought with taxpayers money, still needs taxpayers money to cover losses.

    Saw Depeche Mode there in 2016!

    And who the hell wants to buy a tie-dye replica shirt?

    The club isn’t exactly encouraging folk to spend money are they?
