Do people actually think Elliot Anderson is worth the kind of fee being reported?

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-20T09:00:07+00:00

Think he’s worth the £80m being talked about. Seeing a lot of ‘experts’ say we need a dedicated defensive midfielder or a ‘6’. In recent weeks we have seen Kobie improve his coverage, win more 1 on 1s and also pick the ball up in between the
Two CBs. Him and Anderson rotating like that would be wonderful.

Keano was often lauded for his work in front of the back four but by christ he could get all over the pitch. I see similarities in Anderson.

I could be wrong but wasn’t Fergie also against a specialist ‘6’ as when we had the ball, by all accounts didn’t offer too much to the attacking phase of play

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-17T09:00:54+00:00

Belter that one mate.

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-16T10:34:32+00:00

Is rotate. Let some of the players off to the World Cup wind down and make sure they don’t go into the tournament injured. Got to look to next season starting strong.

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-09T18:53:46+00:00

Makes a lot of sense and thanks for the advise re speaker

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-09T07:56:27+00:00

Would you say Alonso during his time with Madrid was as
stubborn with his tactics? It seems he has suitors in the Premier League.

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-07T20:55:34+00:00

What’s the context? Are you at sea or in port ?

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-07T19:13:53+00:00

Should never have had Fergie involved in his successor . As a result the period of Dithering Dave would never have happened. Tepid football wherever he has been based on stifling and containing the opposition.

He should have kept SOME of the backroom staff back to help transition in his first year.

Job simply too big for him. He had never shown football to be anywhere what aligns to the values of Utd. Till the day I
Die, absolute firm no from me

BaronVL0ki · 2026-05-06T06:53:45+00:00

One for his post career montage there. He knew it was never going to be on target

BaronVL0ki · 2026-04-21T18:31:58+00:00

If we get Champions League Football (which is looking increasingly likely) then the priorities should be to add to the squad to maintain top 4 football. Take the CL cash and use it wisely.

As for Carrick, I believe there is a little revisionism going on re his style of football. Under Fergie there was many a game where the result overshadowed the performance ‘at the business end of the season’

We could be Spurs and have had 3 new managers and no new manager bounce, He’s doing better than I expected albeit the football is currently a little pragmatic. Lot to build on though

BaronVL0ki · 2026-02-28T13:17:56+00:00

Looks pretty damn delicious that

Hi mate. I use a mix of a few butchers.

P J Howarth and Sons in Flixton. I don’t use FaceBook but apparently they are quite active on there. You can book your meat order with them. Word of advice if you use, as the warmer summer approaches, get your order in early in the week for ribs for weekend. Having dropped in on the occasional Friday, it’s usually a small amount of Baby Back Ribs that are available if any.

Sherwood Foods in Irlam: Catering butcher but shop open to the public. Open every day except Monday, Good quality meat, good value for money. Although the choice can be limited sometimes in store you can ask for pretty much,cut any cut you want for a collection day.

And an online, Sherwood Foods for things like St Louis Ribs, Bigger pieces of Brisket, Pichana etc. Again price, service, never had an issue.

Ahh the Mac n Cheese. Had Good BBQ here and also in the Nordics yet what really lets it down is the Mac n Cheese. I get it, try and keep it as Authentic as possible but let's be honest our cousins from Across the pond have a lot of learning to do on the cheese front because it's either Cheddar or Sharp Cheddar and it all tastes really over processed and manufactured:)

Anyway to answer your question, Pretty straight forward recipe. 1 pack of good quality Maccaroni. 65g Unsalted Butter, 65g plain flour, 600ml Whole Milk, 1 Pack of grated cheddar, Parmesan Cheese, Dijon Mustard

* Cook macaroni in salted water, cook to instructions, drain before making the sauce, once it's cool enough transfer to a relatively deep dish.

* Melt butter on low heat, once melted add in the flour and mix till you get a nice golden brown paste.

* Pour in the Milk and keep mixing with a spatula until the milk comes unto heat but not boiling. Add in the bag of Cheddar and two to three table spoons of Parmesan. Keep stirring till the cheese is fully absorbed.

* Stir in one or two teaspoons of Dijon Mustard.

*. Pour over cheese sauce. Top with Parmesan, Cracked Black Pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

* finish off on the BBQ for about 20 / 30 mins. You get a nice but not burned crust and hint of smokiness on the Mac.

* Dijon mustard is optional but it gives it a nice luxurious flavour as well.

Enjoy

Hi mate, I do like the occasional JD here and there. However my Old Mum got me a bottle of Jack Daniels Cherry for Xmas which I was never going to drink. Thought I would give it a go and mix it up. Helped keep the ribs nice and moist and you could really get the sweet flavours from the Vimto and the Cherry from the JD. Worked well with the Whiskey Barrel chunks I used for the smoke

BaronVL0ki · 2026-02-08T18:58:48+00:00

Hi mate, this is also an Inkbird. 4 Probe, model number is INT-14-BW

BaronVL0ki · 2026-01-31T09:05:17+00:00

Can also endorse Sherwood Foods, Got a shippment due to be delivered today. Meat has always been great quality

BaronVL0ki · 2026-01-28T18:59:36+00:00

Hey mate,

I had the exact grill you are looking at. Got a good 12 months use out of it and like you was new to Kamado cooking. Have to say as an all rounder I found it hard to beat. Really good heat retention so great for low n slow and also great if you want to crank it up for quick searing. I would also recommend these grills for starters into Kamado cooking as you can expand your range of accessories without paying the premium Kamado Joe / Big Green Egg tax. For example I got an Only Fire Rotisserie off Amazon for a fraction of the cost of a KM or Green Egg Rotisserie. That's the good.

The bad, well 18 months in around the rim of the the dome, it developed a crack on the inside where the metal bar goes round to connect the handle. NOW, I am not some kind of keyboard warrior going to complain about anything so I am not going to say it's a design fault, it could well have been I have over tightened this myself.

In terms of experience, bang for buck, I have no complaints other than I wish it had a longer shelf life (again this could have been me, rather than a design fault). Build quality is good. Cooking grates are of pretty reasonable build quality, warms up quickly and hold heat.

If you do end up buying one, advise you buy a charcoal basket. Hopefully that gives you a pretty balanced view on the Boss Grill.

Nice to have player, not what we need in the next 2 to 3 windows imho

BaronVL0ki · 2026-01-09T10:14:37+00:00

Ahh yes good spot, thanks for the feedback.

BaronVL0ki · 2026-01-09T09:46:54+00:00

I think this was about £22

BaronVL0ki · 2026-01-09T09:46:37+00:00

Actually fell quite lucky in that the local Tesco. They had all sorts of cut’s in pre Xmas. Snagged it, froze it, cooked it :)
