    Chaplin Move Completed

    Maybe we should just sign Kevin Phillips instead. Who cares he's in his 40s, he was lethal in his late 30s so probably could do a job for us even now. Anyone else remember he was rumoured to be joining us abiut 5 years ago?

    Chaplin Move Completed

    Wasn't impressed with him today despite the poacher's goal. As has been said he is crying out to be played as a number 9, not being made to go deep or out wide to look for the ball. Neither he nor Hiwula could hold the ball up which meant they were able to regain possession and keep coming back...

    16 year old murdered in Wood End

    I suspect that if he was a drug dealer, he was known to the police who also knew him to carry guns to protect his money and plants from rival underworld types. Therefore when they did the bust, they went in armed. When they went in, he went for this gun, thinking he was under attack from a rival...

    As I see it

    Yeah I am happy enough with this season. Just because we've been erratic shouldn't obscure the positives; we've been pretty competitve and winning plenty of games.

    Can't be many other players who got relegated twice with us, other than the likes of Burge and Willis who were recent youth team graduates in 2012 and weren't playing anyway despite being in the squad. Come to think of it, I can't think of anyone else. For that reason alone it's a no from me.

    Match Thread Scunthorpe United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Jan

    I haven't been following this one... Has he fallen out with MR, or just underperformed on the limited occasions he's played? Odd that neither him nor Bakayoko had much of a lookin even when we went winless for 2 months

    Match Thread Scunthorpe United vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 5th Jan

    But is that the case? Had he had enough of a chance? Seems to me he has barely featured this season, which seems odd.

    I agree. Just got back from the game and am surprised at how much criticism he is getting.

    Burge, Willis and Davies

    "But asked if City have begun talks about extending their stays at the Ricoh Arena, Robins said: “It’s too early." Yep - the agreement with Wasps is yet to be signed!

    Luke Thomas Loan

    And better than Kwame Thomas who was a "hazard" when it came to our ability to score goals.

    Think MR said on CWR after the Charlton game he'd be out for a few weeks and had returned to Cov to progress his recovery.

    Is the whiff just too strong for them? :happy:

    My plan is to weight once a week and as Stu says, this motivates you in getting ready for weigh-day and also gives you a buzz if you have hit target or exceeded (i.e. lost more than target). I foudn the monitorable progression a very motivating factor.

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    I have done this before so it is more a question of re adopting some good old habits which amount to several small changes, not one big chsnge. Makes it more manageable.

    Exactly. It's agreed on an individual deal-by-deal basis, not based on some generic rule set by the FL or FA.

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    I know but they're natural sugars not refined, processed, etc. I used to be a shocker for snacking on nuts, crisps, biscuits etc but instead now I snack on carrots, cucumber and celery. My colleagues think it's weird but it helped me lose 2.5 stone.

    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    Target set for 2019 - lose 15lbs (6.8kg) between now and mid-March. That's just over a stone in 2.5 months - doesn't sound too tough but does need to be manageable. Going to have a Tuesday night weigh-in, bought some scales today and have set up a spreadsheet to track progress. Did 30-40 minute...

    Nice to be the Bogey team for once....

    Didn't realise this. Wonder if we have any other similar "bunnies" like this.

    I think Grendel is saying that the 'permanent' announcement WAS made back when he joined us. All the remains, I presume, is for us to transfer the money. As someone once sang, Chaplin is "signed, sealed, delivered, he's ours". Unfortunately.
