If you were to come back permanently, it would surpass that. Do it, Idris. Do it. Once you get something in your head about liking a player or...

I live in Leigh-On-Sea (obviously) and knife crime is up all around the Southend area. Should I also blame Khan?

Maybe not, but you could blame Brexit.

I get that feeling too !

No, I reckon he'll stay.

Poppycock.

1: the odds don’t matter. The market is almost entirely made up of people on message boards either insuring against something they don’t want to happen or chancing their arm on a rumour about which they know as much as we do 2: Richie not being present at things doesn’t hint that he’s off. The club...

Can you actually go on holiday in Barnsley?

Well you can, even though having no coastline shouldn't stop you.

Do we actually know for sure that Richie is going ?? Until the club confirm it, of course it's only speculation. But come on - if there was a simple explanation for the manager not being there last night and all was hunky dory, it would have been mentioned/apologies would have been given/jokes woul...

Barnsley have sacked their manager. I would think that RW must be a strong contender to replace him. Based on his criticism of some players after Saturdays performance and the clubs failure to match his ambitions it would not surprise me if he was offered the job.. Being close to home and the size ...

Don't get me started...

Lovely, likeable endearing lady..

No assumptions. I'm just repeating what the mood was like last November/December. There were some people who thought he should go. Absolute madness, as I said at the time. OK, from a fair few to some... Agree Slade football was attractive, Edinburgh's very dull. What a pedant. There were people - o...

The grass is not always greener here - remember, there were a fair few people wanting him removed when we had that dodgy spell late last year. Maybe you are making this assumption that 'a fair few' people want Wellens removed because they don't sing his praises as high as you do.. No assumptions. I...

Richie has only just got his CV looking halfway decent after the failures at Salford and Doncaster. He must realise that the grass is not always greener elsewhere. The grass is not always greener here - remember, there were a fair few people wanting him removed when we had that dodgy spell late las...

I wouldn't particularly want Wellens to go chiefly because I wouldn't really know who to replace him. I think he is overrated though. He’s the best manager we’ve had in my 40+ years. I’m not sure what people expect someone to achieve in a little over 2 years. Yes, I think he's overrated, not so muc...

I love RW, but he is not the most successful manager out there yet. If clubs want a manager with promotion success on their CV there are better options out there Idiot post of the year. Come on then, who are these better managers who would come to the O's? No-one knows who would and wouldn't come t...

They are free to 'think' what they like.

You suggested in your post above that people who are opposed to Kahn is because he is Asian, Muslim. Having nothing else to say except using this desperate last resort defence means it's end of story for me.

Quite right opening post - toothless! And not for the first time this season, by far. And now the call goes up for strikers once again...What about when everyone was saying, we'll be ok once Agyei is back? No, the problem once again is a lack of creativity in the box. Maybe some blame has to be atta...

Yes, I have to say that Manchester City, though full of talent and skill, are nevertheless a boring watch.

Now you're being silly.

You can, as a question was asked.

You seem a trifle testy on the subject. Why is that?

You've got that the wrong way round. Take a look at a few of your posts.

Because they are almost certainly going to form the next government and this is what they continually spout off to be the answer? Crazy.
