Plenty of free art galleries, Spit. Don't let the snotties have it all to themselves and don't make the mistake of thinking their opinions are more valid than yours - they ain't. Painters used to be considered tradesmen. (There's a brilliant free Hockney thing on at the Serpentine Gallery that will leave you grinning from ear to ear. Delightful cheerful thing. )0

The cheam spoons even has a portrait of Sir Edwin Landseer who most in the pub thought it was a picture of tim martin:-)[Link]

Morning all. That truly was a dire football match. Stewart's attempt on goal at around 56th minute was our first touch in the opposition box. I don't even remember any of our players venturing into the opposition box before then.

Meadow - thanks for the honourable mention, and I’m still very happy indeed that there has been a big reduction in examples of racism, homophobia, etc on here (largely down to banning those responsible for most of it…) 👍

I would rather look at the old photos in a wetherspoons than pay £25 for a gallery:-)

Laurence - is the café as good as this one at the V&A…? [Link]

You can see Lucian Freud paintings for free in the Tate Britain and/or the Tate Modern - it’s brilliant that everyone can see amazing art for free in this country, although I imagine that infuriates some people…. 😂👏

I think JJ preference for every player being able to perform at wing back has and will destroy players confidence. Both Sasu and Nkeng are forwars/wingers. Already think Jennings will do better under a different manager, being pulled off at halftime rather then Reeves was rather predictable.

Nick, Woking - beat me to it. BTW JG what was the seating like at the National Portrait Gallery?

JG - I hate to break it to you, as basically the only thing that you seem to have enjoyed about the NPG exhibition was the lack of concessionary prices on offer, but, looking at the website, you can get concessionary prices for the exhibition if you are a student (£22,50) on benefits (£12.50) or under 25 (£5)! Those concessions certainly aren't well advertised but they do exist. I don't disagree though, that a price of £25 for what was probably a pretty poor exhibition is a lot (though that is probably because I don't like Lucien Freud's stuff). I would also note that the NPG certainly isn't a commercial operation, not least because entry to the main gallery is totally free, so again not really a comparison for AFCW at all.

Morecambe and Sutton that should read

A lot of teams have realised what a threat Nkeng is and made plans to control him. Without Tilley and with Reeves they’ve got spare men. And he’s still learning defensively. At this level everyone has to know how to do that.

Morecambe gave both slipped badly

Before the match I popped into see the Lucien Freud exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery before it closes tomorrow. Entry was a flat £25 with no subsidies or hand-outs. I thought the exhibition was poor but at least I wasn’t having to pay more so that others could pay less!!

6MDM: You have disagreed with just about every idea or thought that I have ever posted, but have at least given me credit for my lack of “rudeness”. Quite why I would need to be rude (let alone be rude to a member of our Club Community) – I have never comprehended. It’s therefore a shame to see you lowering yourself to name calling. I will rise above it.

Naz (@ 19.28.02), totally agree. With the cards he has been dealt with, JJ has done a really good job. I for one hope he stays but you have to wonder that if he gets tapped up by a club offering a better and bigger squad to work with, he could be tempted to try his luck and move on, whatever division that might be in. You feel his heart is in SW19 though. His post match interview after Wigan brought a tear to the eye.

Spit, yours and Bert's response were screenshotted.

Lol, hadn't realised I was so popular;-)

I haven't looked at the scum forum for many a year but apparently they still look here for sticks to beat us with. Example 1. Spit explaining a post and Bert's response explaining why it had been deleted. 2. An unfortunate sexist post by Kentish which was missed. He's been banned anyway. 3. A screenshot of A4e welcoming the reduction of racism, homophobia etc.

I share Nick D's despondency about how football in this country continues to evolve. The genesis for what we have now was Sky Sports, their money and their influence. I much preferred it in the Division One to Division Four days, when games kicked off at 3.00 pm or 7.45 pm. Now instead of looking forward to players joining and progressing, many think about what profit we can sell them for. What is the point? Then there is the guestbook idiot (who thankfully has crawled back under his rock for the last few weeks) who talks about nothing else but money and would happily price people out of being able to afford to attend. Why? What is the point? If supporters cannot afford to attend then it is just 22 blokes (sorry, people) on a pitch in front of a privileged few who see it as like going to the cinema or the opera, i.e. no emotionally attachment. Chasing dreams has resulted in salaries for transient, mediocre, players spiraling out of control. What do some clubs do? Pay more. It can't go on but I've been hearing this for 50 years and it just gets worse year after year.

On a day that was supposed to be a celebration of retaining our League One status for another 12 month's, it's not turned out too well. I know it didn't matter but to get hammered 4-0 at home by a team that had nothing to play for either and who could easily have doubled that score was pathetic. I wouldn't go as far as to say it was an insult to the paying public but that set the tone for dampening people's spirits as it is hard celebrate after that.

And also Leddy - again if Reece Wally Absolute Wally had moderated Discord at all let alone properly then it wouldn’t need to be shut down. But after threatening Wup with legal action they got threatened themselves with actual legal action and look who’s going.

Well when discord goes this place will be swelled by about 25 new people … let’s see…

You did say a board member was called shit for brains and you declined to answer when pressed for which board member.

For the record I never said criticism should be banned. I like the moderators light touch on here and think they do a difficult job very well. The point I was making earlier was they let stuff stay on here that many other forums would have removed.
