Oops seen I'm in the wrong thread. Thought it was the FL thread but apparently it's the politics/mud slinging thread! Aye, haven’t we got a specific thread for this sort of stuff? Peace had broken out. Everyone had shut their gobs. And then in you two come to stoke it all up again... Shrug.

Definitely not stoking anything up, just making a point. Strange you feel that way espescially as your previous 4 posts on this thread had nothing to do with the FL.

But you made your point and I apologise (even though, for the record, I didn't start it).

Might still be a newbie on the board but been a County fan since 65 when my brother first took me to EP when I was 9.

I hate to be the one to bring things back to FL chat, and it is only a pre-season, glorified scrimmage, but Chelsea completely crushed Wrexham on this side of the pond, so there is that

Chelsea start weak but play nice football, wrexham start strong don't do too much. 2md half Chelsea get stronger but play crap and wrexham went weaker and don't do much. I was very suprized at how strong Chelsea went and I suppose Manchester United will go with some strength too.

Cucurella and Chalobah were the only first teamers starting and they only brought a handful more on at half time.

First teamers (players I'd class as strong) sterling, chalobah, gusto, cucurella, Santos, casadei, chuwukumeka, maatsen, Nicholas Jackson, Gallagher, chillwell, hall and nkunku.

I actually think if there is one thing this forum lacks it is needle. It needs more people offering others out for straighteners round the ground etc. Quality entertainment. Totally disagree. Wanna take it outside? I'll hold your coat.

This board is quite new when compared to the Original Marion Montgomery's Message board which followed The Message board - which still exists in email form. Martin White was responsible for both I believe around 23-25 years ago. Hippy then took it over . It then morphed into MMMB 2 run by SCB and owned by Sunreader. It's changed hands since of course but those with longer less selective memories will know before alternatives such as this one popped up it had dozens of members, names, some long gone, such as Noff, Mozzer, Camp David, Aussie, That Sandy, DMS.To imply this board was the first to be very popular is incorrect.
Surely Vicar in a Tutu remembers that! Vicar's referring to that board the popped up around a year or two ago called Marion's Yellowboard and then died off. Completely different board to this one and the old board; it did have about 10 members and was mostly Marion talking to himself. I'm loving this educational in-depth retrospective into yellowboards old and new. What I can add is that there was a bloke in front of me at the Chester game who during the first half was browsing through what from its slanty thread-lines was immediately recognisable as the 'old/other' yellowboard (by which I mean the one that lots of us moved over here from, the one with Dosser on). It could have been Marion himself, for all I know.

Granted Gusto, Santos and Jackson are new signings but Casadei, Chuwukumeka, Maatsen and Hall have 24 league appearances between them for Chelsea; Maatsen and Hall haven't even played. There's a good 14/15 players not involved that are streets ahead of those 4 in terms of being 'first-teamers'

I can’t see how jet setting all over the US and playing Premier League sides with smatterings of first teamers is the best preparing for their season. Will be lucrative commercially though.

Chelsea's average age was 19 before they brought some more established 1st teamers on. 50,000 in attendance. I suppose it's an experience that not too many league players get to sample but not too sure how useful it is as preparation for the coming season although as mentioned they're definitely expanding their commercial reach. Hopefully they'll get tonked in every game & Mullin picks up an injury along the way.
