    Taylor talking about scoring a hattrick against Mansfield seen by only 1200 fans. Moaning that early rounds aren't really thought of much.

    Saying of course managers will prioritise the league. Promotion to Championship is worth £7.5m and to Premier League £200m. 
    Son says he answers why he didnt play once games restarted after Lockdown. 

    Easy to answer......

    " I'm a big c**t & didnt want to honour my contract with my employer as I feared getting injured......although I got injured 6 months previously playing for my country & my employer stood by me then...."

    Love to ask him how his big money move planned out. "Tell me Lyle, just how many mins of Premier League action did you actually get to play ??"


    How many weeks of your life have you cleared 20k? 
    Not the point.

    He broke his contract. 

    Club should have sued him. 
    I hate Taylor as much as the next guy but calm down, Golfie. 

    You know full well he didn’t break his contract. 
    But he did?
    He didn't. 
  • 90+4' Chance for Hector.

    May's lob is smothered by Townsend but only as far as Kanu, who lays the ball off to Hector and he skims the side-netting.#ncafc 3️⃣ #cafc 1️⃣

    I think it's fair to say that on tonight's evidence, none of which I've actually seen, Kirk should have his contract cancelled just like Chuks
    And ultimately paying Kirk and Chuks a million quid will save us money by next week. Wibble.
    Pay Chuks half a mill to Tonya Harding Kirk so they both have to retire and Hollywood pays us loads of money to make a film about it

    Win a pointless cup game: "winning breeds confidence" "carry it into the league" "good to get a cup run and prize money" "excellent chance for the youth"

    Also 

    Lose a pointless cup game: "doesn't matter"

    First time we have lost to Newport for nearly 100 years.

    He refused to play from June 20th (announced on June 1st), and was contracted to play until June 30th?

    Our squad is not strong enough currently.   We're better off out of the Competition whilst we concentrate on the league.

    Lots more attention needed sadly.

    In defence and attack.
    If only the owners knew that afew weeks ago.

    Watching some of you tantruming about a second string side losing a cup match we evidently don’t care about is genuinely more entertaining than a win could possibly be 
    I'm sure thats not what Dean Holden said.

    But you make your narrative fit 🤭
    Would this be the same Dean Holden who made 10 changes including a load of kids? Yeah, bet he's devastated. But as I say, if we'd won this 10-0 it still wouldn't have been as much fun as you prolapsing your feelings all over your keyboard, so I thank you
  • Oh well, at least we can focus on the Papa John trophy now.

    This loss is a clever ploy to reduce our minutes from all these extra minutes being played!

    He didn't technically refuse to play.  He told Bowyer he wouldn't give 100%, or words to that effect, so Bowyer couldn't pick him.

    Morally he broke his contract but not technically.

    Dominating possession, passing and shots but that on target stat shows our biggest problem.

    Decided to pop along until I realised it wasn’t that Newport.  Oh well.  One pointless cup out of the way at least.

    Hope there is nothing wrong with Campbell

    The sub gets subbed after less than 45mins of Football
    Campbell is obviously starting at Peterboro on Saturday.

  • Thanks for the company tonight lads... I'm off before the meltdown commences

    First Golfie of the season where CAFC is concerned. 
    Oh gawd...you're going to use that attention-seeking term this season too.
    It's not attention seeking. I dont fucking care what its called.......but we've only come back to win twice in around 100 games once we conceded first. 

    Call it what you want.....I felt fucking care.

    So my view on gaps in the squad - RWB, CM, CF plus subs across the board.

    To be fair the term was coined by other members of the forum.
