I mean I know this is for inappropriate jokes so not really the right place - but I do feel there should be a thread for things in modern life that fuck you off. Not politics or the obvious woke stuff. But shit like the fact October now brings "boo baskets" and nowt to do with watching Wednesday but boo in what ghosts do - so prelude to Halloween. Bad enough that Halloween follows the American shite but where the fuck did this come from.

If you follow Sportbible on Facebook the last week or so there is clearly a paid for article by the Premier League and /or TV channels about fans being charged with watching illegal streams. The comments were pretty hilarious about the admin being sell outs and how you could download child porn and get a tut from the authorities but watching Crewe v Bradford could get you sent down

The Premier League Statement and the BBC saying its a partial victory for City None of this is linked (directly) to the investigation but presumably is fairly salient to parts of it - but the majority of that complaint is fairly to provide information not what the information is So 2-1 City at the break I would say

I was at the Shepherds Bush gig on the Friday night. Excellent as always though sat in the upper level keeping Mrs MK away from the periphery of the mosh pit what with her dodgy knee these days. But great fun watching the same fairly young lass crowd surfing half a dozen times, usually a middle aged fella who should know better Mr Gedge is doing an acoustic solo set later in the year with one here in MK. Be a different vibe for that

Let's hope we don't seek to loan the Spurs left back 😬

Be hopes there isn't a recall clause for Beadle after that clanger from the Brighton keeper

Quicker to type innit

Always annoying but again been plenty over the years where we wished the clause had been after 10 minutes of watching em play. The irony would be he gets recalled, ends up on the bench, starts against Man City and Chelsea or the like and barely plays for 4 months.

Be interesting what the precise terms of his loan are. Eg it may say it's a season long arrangement but it may have a recall clause in Jan - hopefully not of course. The reality is Charles whilst looking good at our level could be also ran in the EPL, the step up is huge. West Ham have looked poor but stuck 4 past Ipswich

A small step as Rohl described it, but in one aspect one huge leap forward. The fact we conceded first is usually the death knell of our chances in a Championship away game and our response was not heads down but heads up let's get back into it. We managed their spells of pressure reasonably well and the key part for me, we got a breakaway goal to snatch the win. Great for our confidence but also a warning for teams that we can do that if you over commit. That was a key step up, especially from the Bristol City game. To help the defence you need to have that threat on the transition or simply hold the ball up. But I like the fact Rohl whilst delighted at the end, did say small step in the post match interviews. He is not daft, if we want to be in the top half not only does this level need to be maintained but it needs another notch attacking wise

There was one in the 2nd half where the parry just went to the right of their striker. Such are the narrow margins for a keeper between looking good or bad. We can argue for their goal, I think Beadle will be disappointed a tad that he got beaten from there and doesn't seem the best strike in the world. But I guess sometimes the power / angle etc just means you can't get there.

Tbh I was sober and tried to forget that game

Wasn't that Brum away - got an ear bashing from Mrs MK. Can safely say that's happened a few times since 2016 unlike our comeback wins

It was a good team performance, from the spine an all those out wide as well. The key is how players put a shift in and the players who replace them are not sulking about starting on the bench, offer a different dynamic and cause problems like today.

After the Luton match my fear with the next 3 games that looked tough we would go into this break in the bottom 3 But 7 points out of 9 with 2 away games is way more than i could have hoped for. And the performances have merited it. Keep these levels up is the next step
