No, but it will motivate the players in game 3 in the first two haven't got to plan, and if they've won the first two it will motivate them to smash the monthly target. I wonder if they get a McDonalds if they hit their target! Hope its in the contracts
Pablo had a Rod Mcdonald on toast during the game saturday

Sadly it's disappointing manager babble that means nothing. For example, when McGowan is bombing down the wing looking to see who is available to cross to, do you think it crosses his mind which of the chunk of games it is?
I would disagree. Focus, confidence and togetherness means a lot at this level. It is why we are often left looking up the table after a summer of mass recruitment, wondering why teams with a lower budget are doing better than us.

It's quite a shocking statistic that this is the first top-flight footballer to publicly come out as gay.
Thomas Hitzlsperger came out, as did Fashanu. The strangest thing about this example is, did anyone in the UK have any idea who he was before this announcement?

I know someone who was in a HR meeting because they posted a Thug life meme in a work chat group. The lady in her 50s was reported by a white girl in her 20s and investigated for racism.
The meme was posted in reaction to a director saying their presentation was very good.
People take the piss out of Manny but I am sorry this culture does exist, it's attention seeking, ruthless and quite often without boundaries or logic.
Try working for a large corporation or institution. It has infected most and is rife

Just no
-Big tech cannot be trusted with that level of verified data, there are too many breaches. -Corporations can do with it for what they like, As you Just blame it on a data breach. -It is the missing piece for businesses to put verified,names, faces and tracking data against people. -Its a totalitarian wet dream for tracking down and silencing dissenters. -It would soon become a chargeable service to be informed of something problematic an employee has said online to assist with managing them out without severance pay.
It's amazing that the people who seem to be championing this absurd idea are the organisations that would look to gain the most.

who would you prefer , all things being equal between paul lewis sam foley ryan watson to play in central midfield ? I think Watson for me but it is close . Division 2 players all of them .
What has happened to Jordan Flores? Is he injured? He is highly thought of and many non cobblers fans saw him as a real coup for us and potentially the POTS.

As a self proclaimed and proud woke that a lot of folks on here seem so afraid of, I can categorically say that Mannys and OAPs humour doesn’t cause offence. A little bit sadden by it but thankful that it’s just banter and they wouldn’t really want to offend anybody deliberately in the real world away from a keyboard and the opportunity for a giggle amongst friends. I continue to be amazed that my own love for my fellow Cobblers fans will allow me to forgive them any sort of extreme and outdated political views - shame on me!!
You are an actual liberal but sadly a dying breed. So many do not see the benefits of freedom of speech, forgiveness or reform anymore. Many wear "Woke" as a badge to justify their socially acceptable hate. I don't trust these people as far as I can throw them.

I was reading a discussion last night and someone said that one of our players had a reaction to the vaccine. I have seen nothing to prove this or any mention of it. Just seemed werid for someone to pick out our club. Has anyone heard anything ?

Totally disagree, in the 4-4-2 we play the 4 attacking players (2 wingers and 2 strikers) need to do much more in terms of creating and scoring goals, I think there is promise in Etete but other than that Hoskins has been the best of the bunch which says it all really.
Two under performing wingers and nothing into feet from midfield. I'm not saying the strikers are stand out, I just mean we should be able to score more from open play with that front line.

It always baffles me that people think its always the forwards at fault. What fans expect is for us to sign a forward so much better than our level that they can score goals out of nothing or feeding from scraps.
I personally think our central midfield is non existent. We have several forwards capable of 10-15 goals with the right service, Harry Smith is currently proving he wasn't the issue last season.

In 1974 I was catching the London train from Crewe station. It was very crowded; I found myself in a last-minute rush for the one remaining seat beside a tall, good-looking man with collar-length hair, it was the seventies; buckaroo! I looked up and saw it was none other than Peter Purves, it was the height of his Blue Peter career. He said, "You jammy bastard" and quick as a flash, I replied, "Don't be blue,............Peter!"

The locals love football shirts of any design and wear them daily, ours stands out as true class above all the Premiership trash and always goes down well.. Let me know if you spot a local wearing this : I lost it in Coral Bungalows about 2012-2013
