I had to get one for my own safety in the end. My missus would always stand behind me as I came down the stairs and push me in the back, hoping I'd tumble and break my neck.Stannah stairlifts go that quick do they Otis?!
Much happier being the tortoise and not the hare in this instance

Nightmare the other way round when my lad and I came down for the 12.30 KO pre-Christmas.

If you haven't been going to home games recently, don't underestimate the time now required to get through the various traffic problems.

Not at all. I am just thankful I am still breathing.

Aye! I got caught up in that traffic on the M4 last Saturday…At least it’ll be light driving home!!

The body is believed to be that of a man in his forties, whose next of kin have been told.

Said on my local radio today he was a guy who was identified by paedophile hunters apparently.

Dunno if that means he’d have been rearrested at some point.

Maybe Robins won't be in charge when they come here!?

Still peeved they beat us first gameTheir forum is in meltdown; furious, anger, talk of playing Vale next year,

Same.
After all the hope and expectation of the pre-season, that has to be one of the most deflating results I can remember.

Yep, I was away on holiday, went and looked at the score on my phone and thought oh no here we go again.
Otis

Yeah and we had them pinned back after half time and Stoke barely got out of their own half.
They suddenly got one breakaway and scored from it and then we just immediately crumbled, like all our stuffing had been knocked out of us and they absolutely cruised the last 10 mins or so.

In fairness, Stoke’s team is pretty tragic so it wouldn’t surprise me he’s being cautious.
My gut instinct is that Robins would struggle to replicate his success with us at another Championship club.
His authority was so high before he got to the Championship, he was unassailable in this role and the single most important person at the club. Any disputes with players and he wins, that wouldn’t be the case with any other club in this division. Especially at a club like Stoke who churn through managers and frankly, are the definition of a middling-Championship club.
Stoke was a horrible fit and ironically had he waited for the Derby job, would’ve been a better fit.

Stoke are clearly a poor team, but MR ought to know our players strenths and weaknesses well enough to potentially make it difficult for us. A nice early goal could be more important than usual.

I'm thinking someone like Peterborough would of suited him, don't know why maybe because they don't chop and change managers like Stoke and others

It feels like he rushed into his next role and if he gets sacked soon, it really damages his reputation. Much in the same way, ironically, Lampard took on his ill-fated 2nd spell at Chelsea. The narrative around MR will be ‘how did he not get Cov promoted with Vik and Hamer?!’ He’ll likely need a job a to rebuild that reputation with us.
Ironically, it’s become a real possibility that if we beat Stoke when we play them, that’ll be the final nail in the coffin for Robins. Without wanting to seem too ruthless, I hope we put Stoke to the sword (as well as Oxford and Derby).
Otis

Yup. Just need to beat them. We can feel sorry for him after.

Of course not but I think a display of mutual respect and affection would be appropriate.
MR achieved fantastic things for us in the most difficult of circumstances and for that he deserves to go down in history as a true club legend.

I hope he does

I hope he does
Robins wouldn’t even make it back to the changing room before being sacked if he did that. He’s going to be under a lot of pressure for that game and fighting for his survival so it’s going to be 100% business from his end.
If he loses to Watford by 2 or more goals, again… he’ll probably be sacked.

The clayheads ain't very happy. Funniest post I read on their forum tonight was ..
You’d think the way we set up and played today that Boro were 12 points clear at the top, not on a 5 game losing run. Typical charity given out by us again.
I’d rather let Edward Scissorhands wank me off than watch us atm.
