It's interesting that some people think there may be an issue off the pitch. It's possible I suppose but he may just be frustrated with his form, it could be as simple as that.
No, I am afraid it’s nothing simple. I saw him shopping at ASDA Minworth last week and followed him for about an hour. He filled and emptied his trolly 3 times before abandoning it and walking out with a single red cabbage. There are some serious issues here🤔
Have you seen a psychiatrist about your stalking issues ? Would we be more worried if we saw him in Aldi or Lidl ?

ASDA Minworth gets mentioned on here so much that I feel like it should be added to some kind of tour for overseas visitors. The Barton's, the Villa Chippie, the branch of Snappy Snaps where (I think) Olneythelonely had a rat biting his toe, ASDA Minworth. It'd do numbers, I'm sure.

Isn’t Minworth also where the sewage plant is that gets a regular mention in the shithouse thread?

It’s not the one where Andy Gray never turned up is it?

The fact that he bought a whole red cabbage, and not a ready-made shredded pack, shows he's a grafter and willing to put the work in. 👍

Hope you told him to forget the cabbage, Steve Bruce won't be returning to the club so there's no need to worry.

I get what you’re saying about carrying players but equally we need to let those that need it have adequate recovery time. Diaby playing the other night means Bailey is fresh for Tuesday.

They've just had two weeks off and have played 1 game in three weeks. How much fresher do you need him to be?!

Yes but then 2 in a few days so Bailey is now fresher for Tuesday.

You’re correct. I was told it was the biggest of it kind in Europe some years ago (not sure that’s true). You just cannot put a price on information like that!

It needs a guided tour with the bloody size of it

Apparently West Ham have had a £12.5M bid for Rogers turned down by Boro.

If they are turning that amount down, then I think its time to move on...

I agree with this. For a couple of mill he was worth a punt but anything over 8 and I didnt see the point.
