Thanks for the correction on Huijsen. Born and brought up in Holland apparently. Must have extended Spanish family. Such an elegant player with great vision.

Very good game and to be fair to Portugal have grown into it.

Still stand by the collar comment. :)

Portugal V Spain Nations League Final thing
at 21:24 8 Jun 2025

And the award for stupid kit collar goes to... Portugal for a totally ridiculous collar design.

Currently 2-2. Spain infinitely better team but somehow Portugal (who never look great) staying in it. Ronaldo scores Portugal's second, his 138th goal for them at the age of 256.

Housen the Spain centre back running the show for them Glenn Roeder style. He's 20 and was at Bournemouth and now Real Madrid. Wonderful player.

Unusually open game.

So one game for pre season it is then…

Given our muscle injury record perhaps a truncated pre-season isn't a bad idea, considering some of our players get injured at a desk renewing their contracts.

Manager situation
at 10:56 8 Jun 2025

My own thoughts are that his agent went (or was sent) to talk to WBA but as far as we know it wasn't a direct meeting between Marti and WBA. I fully understand why he was pulled from the line of fire for the final game of the season but the gardening leave feels like there's a lot more to do with an ongoing issue between Marti and Christian than we've ever been told, and that was the final snap in it all?

Let's say if I was the CEO and the whole thing was about the WBA thing I would have taken Marti off that game as we did but not placed him on gardening leave. I would have sat down and sorted out what he wanted to do, considering he had signed a long term agreement and because of the financial implications of that. I would then, post those discussions put out a statement that Marti was staying and it was business as usual or that Marti has indicated that he wishes to move on and we'll be looking for a replacement. That way other clubs wouldn't be in a position of knowing that we'd be effectively paying him to leave. If you make a decision one way or another days after the final game both parties can either put it behind them (and people forget quickly) or you position it as an amicable split. What you don't do is humiliate someone by publicly putting them on gardening leave and placing them for 6 weeks on the naughty step.

It is a complete mess as it stands. There were so many ways to handle it better.

I believe the 25/26 season is the final year of the Errea deal.

To be fair 4 years is the longest he's been anywhere.

Away kit will probably be turd brown with 1970s white dog turd bits in it.
Third kit will probably be puke green with carrot orange bits in it.
Home kits will probably be blue and white stripes where the factory had the plans the wrong way up. With piss yellow piping and a Harry Hill collar.

It does feel like there's been an issue rather than staggered gaps.

New manager bottom of the barrel
at 13:01 5 Jun 2025

I think we are getting to the stage where most of us would say that Cifuentes and Nourry should get around a table and bury the hatchet. If the person we would bring in isn't as good as what we know Marti can be what's the point? Everyone is allegedly a grown up and if we get a fast start this coming season (as unlikely as that may be) then perhaps most fans would forget this episode?

I certainly don't see the point of trading down. It makes no sense.

So sorry to hear about beautiful Mo. They are often the best souls we have in our lives and they never judge us, they just love us and we love them. Mo will live on in your soul and memories (they never truly leave) and you've been blessed to have him in your life and he has been blessed to have a wonderful and happy life with you. X

I would stop the binge drinking. That will be a big one and just get into walking and gardening and a bit of recreational exercise a few times a week for a few hours.

As for me I am 5 foot 8 and 11 stone 2. Roughly right for my diminishing height. I put it down to doing a lot of physical gardening work and worrying myself sick about everything. Anxiety and stress sees the lbs fall off me and probably remaining years of my life.

I think my BMI is pretty good in that I weigh less than a BMI plane?

You can test (or depress yourselves here) - It actually leads you to some very helpful weight loss advice.

Middlesbrough sack head coach Carrick
at 15:45 4 Jun 2025

Games 139
Wins 65
Draws 25
Defeats 49
Win average 46.76

By comparison Warnock's win average for us was just over 40%
I admit he didn't get Boro back up but they did serve us our arse on a plate at Loftus Road last season.
He won't come in anyway.

Yes sadly inevitable. A very good coach though. Would love him here but guessing it is a step backwards for him? Although I am sure he would actually do well down south.

Varane being sold?
at 22:50 3 Jun 2025

Normally I'd say he won't go. He has a brand new contract. He loves being here. He has his own song. But it's not about any of this, it's about money. Not so much for Varane but for the club. If they were to come back with £7-8m the club would find it very hard to not sell him. We bought him cheap and £7-8m would be good business for a financially struggling club like us. Is he irreplaceable? No. Would it indicate that we have no ambition? Absolutely.

Let's hope this goes away and he stays and focusses on becoming an even better player for us.

This of course is the greatest of our problems Brian. :)

I often used to say to my dad, I don't care if they play dressed as clowns as long as they win.
He used to say, well they quite often play like clowns.
(I really miss that banter)

The excitement of the unveil will be it's blue and white hoops. Some will love it, some will hate it. We'll hover around 16th and it won't be much fun and the kit won't matter.
