Given it looks like Watson Boas is having a full off season with us this year and will be fit for the start of the campaign (fingers crossed for the friendlies) I’m going to say we have an improved chance on last year. A settled squad at the start of the season with Watson in it I hope means we won’t misfire early and spend the rest of the season playing catch up.

Whilst i think ferres is a very good signing i fully agree about the FB sheep, the minute you question anything the do-gooders/ground troops/self righteous brigade team up to drown out your views. They will critise any other view that's not theirs but won't dare criticise the dons hierarchy that have year after year failed! It's a weird weird set up definitely akin to some kind of cult.

To be fair it’s about 2 or 3 people, it doesn’t help they’re not actually very good at constructive debate and just say “you can’t say that” though.

The irony is I’ve had this same debate the other way round. The dons fans, like all groups of people, are a bell curve. There will always be people at far ends but the majority are somewhere round the middle

Unfortunately, this platform is in terminal decline.
This is a platform where lengthy posts sat well and people felt that they could speak freely.
Disagreements and spats still occurred however and I contributed to a good few.
Facebook is not a platform where lengthy discussions tend to occur, certainly not reasoned ones.
It does stop me going on though even though I know I am disliked by certain folk.
Sod 'em I say, I will say what I like and Steve should do the same.

Belated Merry Christmas (been away) and a Happy grumpy, thoughtful, sad, miserable, negative, positive, social media free New Year to all our readers.
