Anything but......

Come on Chelsea!!! (If only to avoid another meltdown on here tonight 🙄)

Hi Everyone You may or may not have noticed that Michael hasn't been on the forum for the past few weeks which is most unusual and a bit worrying. I have tried contacting him by private e mail but with no response so far. Obviously the main thing is that Michael and his family are ok and I will keep you updated if I hear from him. In the meantime, I think there are only two of us doing 'admin' on here, with me doing most of the day to day stuff, which is a bit daunting without Michael's support and experience. I was hoping to try again to get the registration problems sorted out so we could bring in new members. Michael did try last year but with no co-operation from the current owners it is very difficult. Anyway, that will have to go into abeyance for the time being until I know where we are on here. Over the past few months we have had about 120 members on the forum, not all of them are regulars and not all of them post, but hopefully with the new season upon us it will get busier. Naturally I am hoping that Michael will re-appear soon and that all is well with him, but for the minute I will do my best to keep things ticking along and if I need any help I will certainly ask for it. Thanks for reading and for the nice messages I have had. Jane :-)

Son is injured Mark so that's one less to worry about!!

Excuse me butting in Chara. Go to the New Forum Announcement thread Ghost. Michael’s had a tough time but he’s back 😀

Never a truer word spoken Chara 👏🏻 Hopefully this is a watershed moment. As I’ve said before, I don’t want to keep losing members, especially really good ones who have come back like @Faramir above. Haven’t seen @thevelourfog recently either. Hope he’s just taking a little break as he does sometimes I think. Another one we can ill afford to lose.

5 2 now!!! Extraordinary. At least it keeps Man City below us, for the minute.

I'm quite enjoying this match although I'm not sure I should be, being it's Sheff Utd and Leeds. I have got the commentary turned down mind you. Nice to see Ampadu and I love his new hair. Patrick Bamford still looks like a choirboy.

@Michael Tucker MICHAEL!!! You don't know how happy and relieved I am to hear from you!!! So sorry you have been through so much and hope you're getting stronger everyday. Will PM you later X

Maybe I should start after match Zoom parties?

RobertoftheGiz 😉

Oh give it a rest please.

Are you buttering me up now?

It's been discussed before but I think Frank has too many coaches around him. What's wrong with a young manager and a more experienced No. 2 to help him on his way. I don't think any of this backroom lot are a touch on Steve Holland.

Even I'm searching to put a positive spin on this. Completely unacceptable.

Mark Kelly (when he's not being grumpy), Ham and Nobly, to name but three, crease me up at times!! Eloquently and sensibly expressed as always Chara.

You are one of the longstanding members I was referring to. Hopefully the message will get across so please stay.

Thanks, appreciated :-)

I should have said “long standing” but if the cap fits and all that 🤔

@Droy was my hero @The_Ghost You both contribute a lot to the forum but please if you want to score points off each other can you do it in private. We all support the same team and we don't need all this 'attitude' towards one another. It's possible to disagree and have a healthy debate without resorting to name calling. This is just the sort of thing that is putting some members off the forum and we don't want to keep losing good people. A few 'older' members seem to have come back in too and I don't want to lose them again. It's not just you two obviously so this is a general message to everyone. And a special note to @Droy was my hero .......just because Michael is no longer around (more of which at the end of the month) doesn't mean you can get away with what you like. I'm not a soft touch and I'm not going to let a few spoil it for the majority on here. Thank you gents.

Does it to us all!! They have caused me more joy and misery in equal measure over the years than almost anything else. Keep popping in and obviously your Annual Awards must continue!!

Now that is a pic I’m really enjoying seeing. What Petr Cech should be doing 😀
