Branston Pickle 3,654 Posted September 8, 2019 According to the Fail (and so reported on pinkun), Ben is going to skipper the u21s on Monday - great stuff for him and the club if true. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,748 Posted September 9, 2019 Seems a bit odd to go from not being in the 1st xi in Turkey to captain in the space of a few days?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vlad666 203 Posted September 9, 2019 I imagine he must have really impressed at their training camp to go from substitute to captain. Top player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted September 9, 2019 A great honour for Ben if it is true but bad news for us as the Big Boy vultures may swoop in January and as we know a sizeable offer will be hard to resist. Well let's be honest he would be gone unfortunately to help the self funding with no ambition model. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We were promoted beyond the expectations last season of both fans AND club officials.What ambition have the club portrayed other than to be self funding . Maybe we could discuss it when you turn up for that pint ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe we could discuss it when you turn up for that pint ? Bringing in Stuart Webber from a rival club on a big salary and head hunting a foreign head coach, implementing a style of play and completely changing the training ground complex and facilities alongside making some great signings isnt showing ambition? Out of interest, which clubs are showing the level of ambition you desire? Clubs of a similar size of course. And then how many are not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,737 Posted September 9, 2019 Webber brought about all that change and cleared out the deadwood that had been allowed to stagnate under previous regimes. As for the training ground complex and facilities that was not with money provided by the club quite simply because we didn't have a pot to pee in hence Webber saying that we had pi$$ed the Premiership money up the wall. The money that brought about change at Colney was provided by the fans. We are straying way off topic here and as i said maybe we could discuss it further when you eventually show up for that pint. Remember that was your suggestion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could be said about any player at any club no? if Maddison starts performing for England the same will happen with him and Leicester. We are not unique.

My reply was on topic but you just want to continue your keyboard agenda so tell you what turn up for that pint and it can be put to bed but as you have ignored that twice so far on this thread i am not expecting a response this time either.
