Just to give Richtea a little chuckle, I just searched “prediction” in CCH’s post history and in those threads he’s predicted 6 Orient wins in 47 recent games

After seeing that half our starting team is no where near match fit I’ll go with a close 4-0 to cambridge


Hmm, yeah. This XI will be perceived as a gamble, even if it transpires that no-one else was fit enough to start.

Slight fear that we could implode today, and then this team selection ...

We have a squad filled with quantity ...

This is the first season I've watched. How many times can the Traitors replenish themselves?

Gateshead players have now been paid for September:

As far as I understand it (which isn’t far), we tend to lose several million pounds a year, we have very little in the way of assets, and then it’s over to rich people and accountants to somehow make the losses disappear?

Who's the friend, Qin"yyy?

Sending best wishes to Lucy's loved ones.

Am I imagining that we seem to change shape both before and during every game? As if we're trying to counter the oppositions' set-up, and then reacting when that doesn't work, which often means we're trying to find some rhythm and coherence in our play? I just wonder if we should be aiming to impose ...

So, injury-wise, it sounds like:

OON - back 1-2 weeks?
Gilchrist - back in 2 weeks?
Boniface - 3-4 weeks
Connolly - non-contact training
REG - back in full training

Probably only works that well after a 5-0 win tbf

I dunno. Would be quite entertaining to watch two dejected players going "nah, that was sh*t bruv" after a defeat.

Edmonds-Green

Gary Taylor-Fletcher went onto bigger and better things after underwhelming for us.

I'm shocked that people may not grasp that 'disability' covers a huge range of conditions and levels of severity / impairment, and that people will be entitled to different levels of support accordingly. Shocked, I tell you.

If I can only pick from those options, I'll go with b.

I have had family members with real disabilities, so in comparison I feel like a lot of people are taking the piss and gaming the system to gain some sort of advantage/benefit that is not deserved. Its the flawed system that bothers me ...

I prefer to focus on the social model of disability, rather than fixate on the whys, whos and hows of ‘qualifying’ for a neurodivergence label (while respecting that the label can be very empowering and illuminating for individuals). Most of the world hasn’t been set up with different abilities ...

Spent a year living in Normandy as part of my degree. I quickly sharpened up my pronunciation after telling a fellow golfer that he had a “nice arse” rather than a “nice shot”.

Did GCSE Latin, AS Level Japanese, A Level German and some Italian at uni too. Inevitably none of these courses has any ...

Each time I read about this story, all I can think of is the individual and collective disease that is ego.

The embellishment and fantasism that he relied on to feel accepted by others; the eagerness to appoint him to certain positions to give the impression of virtue, coupled with the ...

Baxter 7 - some really good saves to keep us in it; not sure how much blame to mete out for their first goal; too many kicks into touch.

Stevens 7 - refreshing to see a tenacious right back; competitive; some neat touches; excellent initiative to set up our equaliser.

Chinedu 6.5 - aside from the ...

Just want to call out the funniest MB post of all time:

“MorrimDogg to rotate so vigorous”, on a match prediction thread circa 2005.

This thread gives me great hope that humans can put aside their petty, egoic differences and unite in mutual love and care.

All this is doing is giving me the urge to create ambiguous thread titles. ("Who's our best left winger?"; "Check out this tackle!"; that kind of thing).
