This might be one of my more random Alternative posts (GrumpyG, don't say it), but bear with me. Neil Dawson. I feel it's become fashionable to have a pop at the guy. SlowDownDerek and co have really turned on him in recent weeks, and he is starting to get shot down with a level of ferocity...

I actually can't believe I'm even typing these words.....! We've had a bad 2019, and are currently in a bad place. Of that, nobody could disagree We've spent a lot of money, so can't blame that Not all of our signings have come off yet, that's true And at times we've made tactical mistakes...

While the debates about coaching, transfers and formations will rightly play out on here, with one week to go it’s good to pause and remember why so many of us fell in love with this beautiful game. https://www.newsandstar.co.uk/sport/17813923.dad-best-carlisle-utd-team-mate-ever/

I wasn’t going to make this an alternative post, but remembered how much it winds up Grumpy G, so here goes… For everyone who went last Saturday, it was a very special day and one we all needed. The only thing which maybe took some of the gloss of it was the realisation that Brighton’s...

This message board is starting to reflect life outside of it Many people are either Remain (we are lucky to be where we are, just look at Chester, so don’t challenge anything) or Brexit (Howe has lost the plot, his staff aren’t up to scratch, the players don’t care because they are all...

Seems to be there are two extreme camps every time we lose 1. Extreme doom and gloom over reaction 2. Extreme reaction to the over reaction to shut down any dissent The truth surely lies somewhere in between This is a message board as Neil Dawson often reminds us, and anyone is entitled to...

I watched my first Bournemouth match in 1983, and was pretty much addicted from that moment. And for as long as I can remember, my love of the club was married together with a love of the back page of the Bournemouth Echo. Long before Twitter would serve up daily rumours, and every other media...

So much wild over-reaction... We are 12th in the Premier League We haven't been in this league for team years, or fallen from the Champions League We haven't spent 300m on players who haven't performed We don't have a manager who has been there or done that (yet) Our young players are learning...

Let me start up front with 3 big caveats 1. I went to The New Den and we are dreadful, no arguments 2. No manager is above criticism 3. This MB is the place for people to say what the hell they like That all said, I do worry that the reaction from some people to the Millwall game is crazy...

What a bunch Premier league football and you're still not happy Criticise Eddie for signings and tactics by all means - that's the point of a forum like this - but some of you need to have a word with yourselves Is every signing a success? No Are all his tactics right? No Does he make...

I wrote on the eve of the season that if we suffered a defeat or two, I hoped our fans wouldn't suffer their own second season syndrome and over-react......because I could see this happening. So for the avoidance of doubt, I also thought we were poor yesterday; surpassing wasn't good enough, our...

Today we play Jose Mourinho's Manchester United, including Wayne Rooney the England captain and its record goal scorer, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the best strikers in Champions League history, David de Gea, and countless other world class players. I realise everyone know this! But if we get...
