Ex-Player Thread Stanley Mills

[Carpy]

 

[Marked Ox]

He’s doing and saying the exact same things at Middlesbrough.

Maybe he is, but he also turned down a chance to move to Middlesbrough in a promotion battle to stay with us to try to help us stay in the Championship. Not sure that many others would do that.

 

[Village-Yellow]

He’s doing and saying the exact same things at Middlesbrough.

What would you prefer him to say ? ……..

“I’m gutted I’m stuck here at championship side Middlesbrough chasing promotion to the Premiership and would still rather be at Oxford, whom I want to devote the rest of my playing career to”?

He respected us as a club during his time here and when he departed.

We were lucky to have his ability and his attitude.

 

[bazzer9461]

Disagree. He had a special bond with oxford, even if that was partly due to it being a productive period in his career

And on the end he couldn’t give a fluting f**k about us

Ah, the fluting f**k.

Surely the most evocative of Bazzerese idioms.

Ok put it another way he couldn’t give us toss about us him and his dad can p**s off

Can this thread be merged into the ex-player thread? I'm tired of seeing Stan Mills’s name so prominent.

We could merge it with the Preston thread as well.

What’s James Galway got to do with it?

 

[Burglar Bill]

Just scored... for Blackburn!!!

 

[Jaboysmith]

Poachers finish

 

[Maurice Earp]

He's been substituted.

 

[Whingit]

He's gone to Preston to play as a wing-back?

 

[Gregortheox]

Oh how symbolic!

 

[OxfordBoy]

Seems to have impressed their fans so far

 

[londonyellow]

Seems to have impressed their fans so far

Yeah. Good for us if he does well for them

 

[Twiggy85]

Fair play to Stan Mills. We all thought he was being an a**e, but he clearly must of told his dad about this quality u21 player Mo Missanga and that it would be wrong for him to block his pathway so let’s find a move so this kid can play. Would have saved us all a lot of time had you said this at the time, but we see it now.

 

[WE Yellow]

Preston 1 up
Mills subbed on ‘66
Watford 2-1 up on ‘76

 

[West Oxon U’s]

A disastrous result for PNE who are bottom of the Champ.

 

[Peterdev]

Did he get a kick tonight?

Oh no, I would HATE to see the little s**t getting relegated again!

 

[JC_Yellow]

Did he get a kick tonight?

Yes, but not in his own net this time. Progress.

 

[Brahma]

Did he get a kick tonight?

Good cross from the byline, following his own header in the penalty box. Mwhahahahaha.

 

[Carpy]

Oh no, I would HATE to see the little s**t getting relegated again!

 

[SirAndyOfCrosby]

Playing RWB at the bottom of The Championship.

"But Preston are a big club"

 

[samstudd]

was a great hate watch last night. Playing wingback he looked clueless. Chasing his own headers, getting spun round by their winger. Hopefully they don’t sack the manager he seems to know what he’s doing.

 

[uptheus]

Maybe that’s what Mills was referring to when he said the manager sold it to him a couple of months ago e.g. back to back relegations from the Championship!

 

[Paul Cannell]

Or a different pan to flash in.

Can't say I watched but a friend of mine's a Preston fan and he says Heckingbottom had a nightmare. Apparently they were on top for most of the game and then he brought on a bunch of subs (incl Mills) and played them out of position.

He thinks Hecky will be gone if they lose their next game against Lincoln.

Anyway, I guess we want Stan to play as well as possible (through gritted teeth) so we get a big sell on fee.

You would think sacking season will kick as the international break starts, time to get a replacement in, so if Preston are still down there a week Saturday then he will be gone.
