    Two more than Henry now
    What’s a promote anyway?
    The first rule of a promote is do not talk about a promote.

    It’s something that has no real meaning in life, apart from whistling to yourself on the way to work and thinking “I’ve arrived”…..by the time you have your first coffee off the day, it’s a distant memory.

    I believe a promote is something handed out to fragile egos - like a most improved player award-  a true giant of the forum would never receive one - trust me 👍

    If I ever get a promote ( very unlikely) I would hand it straight back. 



    Or sell it on ebay...

    Well I had an highly unusual dream last night that I had purchased a ticket for the first home game, but for some reason it didn’t have the seat number on it, and I was too afraid to ask security thinking they might think it’s a fake and fill me in.

    So I sat outside the ground on a sofa, next to the statue of Sam Bartram, who was actually ForeverAddickted, who could talk.

    Then at one point Leuth came storming out the ground complaining that Garner was playing a ‘weird formation’ where we had 3 right backs. 

    God knows what any of that means.

    That IS a weird dream. I'd be all over three right backs

    It means you’ve found where that bloody sofa from the side of the pitch went!!👍

    If he's had issues for two seasons Sage, can you say they're over and won't affect him next season?

    How come they didn't affect him during JJ's early run?

    I can sympathise if people have personal stuff going on but I would honestly like us to build a team we don't have to make excuses for. Over the past few years it feels like it's constant.

    It's the hiding that did it for me. Gilbey hides in the tough parts of the game and you cannot have a CM that does that and expect to be successful. (See our record for coming back from 1-0 down).
    This, all day long. Alex must be aware that he hasn't performed in far too many games since he's been with us.  So obvious when a midfielder goes missing. Those moronic yellow and red cards did it for me this season. I think Jackson gave him too much slack. We need to be spending his wages on someone who performs every time he plays.

    As this thread seems to be lurching all over the place from stroppy promote recipient (he should be so lucky).. to whether Gilby is really the messiah and should be retained at all costs...🥱..a new thought, slightly closer to the thread...gone very quite on the supposed two coaches joining as a Garnish to Garner..
    Anyone ITK know anything?.. B)

    I agree, they all ought to perform with honesty and effort in every game. Even if they’re only human.
    Being human also means being able to set aside other issues in order to focus on the job in hand 100%.
    The players are paid well enough to do it.
    Nice human though Alex Gilbey probably is, he has been robbing a living at Charlton.

    Welcome to the dream club Mr Young Fish Costa Fortune  (your full title) and it means you stop eating cheese after 9pm.

    I was having a lovely dream the other night about Kelly Brook and I was just about to water her roses when my wife woke me up to tell me to sort out the foxes who were mating in the front garden and screaming.

    Back to the Manager:

    Garner has just reached the Oxford home game on video watch and after the 4th goal went in for Robbo's side, Ben rang his agent and asked if there was a 28 day cooling off period.
