Big fan of Tex sticking up for himself after Judas’s article. He seems to have the right mentality that’s for sure.

Your one of the "happy clappers" who stay at the end to throw things to the players after the dross served up last 3 years

Defending the same players who threw radford and Hodgson under a bus and fans wonder why we dont change much

Don't change by keeping the same deadwood players who have failed last 5 years

Our only hope is smith and the new signings

Reading what Ellis says and about Smith and the high regard and respect he has for him speaks volume's and shows the club are finally moving in the right direction. It bodes well for the future and has seemingly brought the club back together and reenergized all involved at the club and the fans. All positive stuff so far for me since Smiths arrival.

TalentBoy you seem to continually berate the likes of Houghton, Taylor, Griffin etc as the same players who threw Radford & Hodgson under a bus yet in the same breath praise Shaul and laud over him for what he did back in 2016/2017.

I admit that there is certainly a group of players who have done such and don't disagree that the likes of Houghton, Taylor, and Griffin haven't been the best but neither has Shaul.
Thankfully Smith has come in and seemingly got to grips with the squad, if what I heard is true in that Smith has told all the players that its his way or the exit door then this issue will hopefully be resolved.

I’m certainly not a happy clapper. I’ve seen more coaches get the sack at FC than you’ve got years under your belt. I’m not defending anyone, merely pointing out that you never have anything meaningful to post simply reprinting the same old whinges. You stated that Houghton is on £100,000, “fact” unfortunately no one but the club and Houghton know his deal, therefore you’re a liar as well as Walter Mitty. The only thing I’ve ever thrown on a pitch was coins when the lads went round the Boulevard, with a charity blanket, oh and my season pass when Len Casey was the coach, he was dire, bit like you.
