DT do not want open comms, so will be closing Discord on 31st May 2026. [Link]

 Waiting for Paddington to give me a wave [Link]

 Discord closing. There ya go, the last shred of pretence of communication gone. They got what they wanted. They’ll have thier new moneyed mates onboard soon so no need to interact with you all again. Fuck them.

 What time is the coach leaving Plough Lane tomorrow?

 Just dropped off at Fulham training ground ,use to.play cricket there late 80s.when it was the university sports ground. Real shame it was never our training ground,would of been ideal

 Don’t worry spit, I’d argue I’ve never had any credibility anyway!

 I think a decent oppo manager would change things up to counter that pretty quickly Alan. Just stick your main striker on him and beat him for pace.

 I've often wondered, given the lack of pace at the back, if a sweeper would work? I know you give up the offside aspect of the defencive tactics, but it would allow the player at the back an opportunity to mop up and set an attack going. To my mind this would suit Jakes disadvantages but would do wonders to his strength of those searching passes forward, ditto Joe who I think has lost pace also.

 No Browne, Bugiel or Lewis tomorrow

 Well we have proved that we can at least score a goal with no strikers. But we still have to prove that we can concede fewer than 3 goals in most games at the moment.

 Still no decent strikers fit tomorrow so another defeat incoming as we can’t keep a clean sheet either.

 No Browne or Omar, but Hippo, Hutchinson and Bauer might be - [Link]

 Get yourself on Sky TV tomorrow if you like that sort of thing by being this season’s depressed banana at full time.

 Went to a pokeman thing in Crawley. Lol, that's Timmy's credibility shot:-)

 Haven't a clue about pokemon but my hunch is that he plays foe Eintract Frankfurt?

 Timmy, there's been a few ungraded ones that she has bought that warrant spending the money on getting them certified. She bought a batch of 7 cards for £30, knowing they would do well a couple of years on, turns out they were worth £80 each on ebay, sold items as a consistent price as they were bought. Graded, these achieve £1k+ for a lightly played grade 7, the ones she has are grade 8.5 upwards, no brainer to spend the £50 each to get them done. In a few years, possibly a few more hundred on each.

 AioW - correct - went to a Pokemon thing few weeks back at Crawley K2 and the collectors/ speculators are making loads of money from them!

 Pokemon cards are where its at, my missus is rather good at finding the gems that others overlook. Is collecting them for a few quid a piece and selling them about 40 to 75 times what she's paid a few years later. Much better returns than her pension offers.

 LD - true of course and in fact most people and institutions hold the majority of their shares through a downturn so the money effectively stays where it is and as it is secondary markets it doesn't reall affect the companies very much, apart from raising new capital.

 Well yes Leds, it's about risk and more importantly, where markets see risk. See how price of gold varies

 Two wins and we could finish 15th!

 OI / RK, If money is moved away from stocks and shares it will just over inflate the alternatives you mentioned causing different bubbles. The issue is that the amount of money in the world has almost doubled in the last 10 years.

 It’s on us to save ourselves and I’d rather we did that tomorrow but Wigan are in possibly* their best form of the season, are safe, it’s their final home game of the season and a rare sunny day in Lancashire so they’ll be in high spirits. Come on JJ give us some good news re injuries.

 Lurker - exactly. Hoping that Blackpool get a result against O's tomorrow though.

 Omen
