    And now a few days after Pierce, Tom Telesco fired as Raiders GM. Think he can feel slightly harshy done by. Even with our record, still don't think outside of QB he'd assembled an awful roster through free agency - defence was seriously impacted by injuries from early on in the season (Koonce...

    Very Raiders for us to allow Antonio Pierce to hold that press conference yesterday, talk about plans for next season and give the impression he's staying, and then a day later, after other teams have got the ball rolling on firings/putting the feelers out for interviews, we fire him. Even with...

    Utterly bewildering, given it's quite clear him still being there will put off a lot of good candidates considering you. It's quite amusing that of the three sporting empires the Khan family are financially involved in (Jags, Fulham, All Elite Wrestling) the one that they are probably most...

    [News] New Orleans Incident

    Awful scenes. Lot of time for NOLA after a wonderful trip there in 2018. Very real fear of dread came over me when seeing this news, as a lad I met at the Raiders game in Vegas last month was partying on Bourbon St last night. Heard back from him in the last hour and, thankfully, him and his...

    [Music] Is this currently the world’s best live band?

    For pure performance, the answer for the longest time has been, as @AstroSloth says, Gojira. As a live experience, Rammstein's stadium tour that they just finished up after five years (well two years lost to COVID lockdowns/restrictions, but it started in 2019) is a spectacle that very few...

    Not a signed up member of Silver & Black UK, but that name rings a bell as he's one of the admins on the FB group. The uniform is one of the reasons they appealed to me as a team to support when I was considering who to follow, as someone whose wardrobe is mostly black band tshirts! That, the...

    The Competitive Tank rolls on immaculately for the Raiders! In all seriousness, I'd have loved a win, but too many mistakes cost us - mostly on special teams, which is a rareity given Cole & Carson are two of the best at their respective position - against a Falcons team that grinded us down on...

    At least us and them pesky Bolts can all agree that as much as we all dislike each other, we hate the Chiefs more! Ended up bailing on the Black Hole party last night. Completely drained of energy by the afternoon and wanted to just chill as much as possible with Monday's game being the...

    Zero chance. As much as it's a stadium often filled by away fans (because appeal of going to Vegas, how we've been playing and the big-resale market), it's here for the long haul. Especially when Oakland has lost all it's sports teams with the Golden State Warriors moved to the other side of the...

    Been in Vegas a few days ahead of watching us v the Falcons on Monday night. Did the Allegiant Stadium Tour yesterday and it was everything I could have hoped for and more. Truly reaffirmed why the Raiders are my team (no matter how bad we've been in most of my time as a fan) and regardless of...

    How are numbers looking after the morning wave of STH purchases? Very tempted to get a ticket if it goes to MA+ on Tuesday, as it's the only ground I have left to tick off of the current 20 in the Prem.

    [Misc] COVID… again

    Four times, most recently in July this year and about the same time of year in 2023. Last couple times I've had the same symptoms that have been a giveaway - getting cold symptoms at times of year when it's not seasonally going round, combined with a very scratchy throat/cough that I've only...

    Agreed. Can't be putting it on the rookie QB in that situation. Knows they can't clock the ball on 3rd down so HAS to take the timeout with the chance of tying it on a field goal! The sort of piss poor game management I'd expect from a rookie HC. Borderline fireable screw-up given the pressure...

    In fairness, probably one of the cleaner games we've played with Minshew under center all season, one boneheaded pick aside - he's been worth at least one turnover like that each game, but last night's was one of his better games for keeping things clean. Of course the true course of the tank...

    Bloodywood are great fun - saw them live last year. Really vibe with the nu metal elements in their sound as well. After releasing what is probably my favourite EP of 2024 earlier this year, unpeople dropped another absolute belter of a new single recently. A hard band to pin down to just one...

    About an hour into the 4 hour trip home from Torquay v Worthing. Gutting result. We had enough chances that just weren't put away in the second half to get at least a point from that - how it goes with football sometimes. On the positive side, the last two performances have been the best we've...

    Incredibly sad news, especially with the band's 50th Anniversary coming up next year. Have no doubt he'll be celebrated at those shows in some way. Was in London the same day he was doing a signing event at the Cart & Horses (the pub Maiden played their first show at) on August Bank Holiday...

    As a Raiders fan, feels like we're also in another rebuild after trading Adams. Would be utterly heartbroken if we went on to trade Crosby at some point, but I think that's a long shot. There are pieces in our team to work with going into next season (Bowers, Bennett, Spillane, Glaze, Jack...
