You've got no idea skipper, none of us do, this just suits your negative outlook. Could we not have been in for him all along and the price only became acceptable during the last week?

Welcome back lad, big hopes for you this season

Shocking

I don't, I can't, I just... ?

At one point Mowbray was talking about getting mostly loans in so that's nonsense - even if that waa just playing the media game.

I feel like this could be an exciting week for us. Despite the last 8 years. Must be f8cking mental.

Just seen their equaliser on Sky - absolute fluke. Very frustrating but going a gola down and then nearly winning it is positive.

F8ck sake

Absolutely, the three I worry about for sure.

Amazing ?

First game of the season champ And we are winning it

Football!!!!!!!!!

Trumpet blowing

That absolute clown, gets far more wrong than he does right. Unfortunately the modern age of journalism is about generating clicks which he seems to be able to do by throwing out bullsh*t.

Have I missed something?

I'd be shocked if we did anything today, everything points to a mad scramble on Wednesday & Thursday next week in my opinion. Big T holding out for his A's & B's before we jump to the J list at 11pm on Thursday, end up with Beevers and Jason fucking Lowe as Bolton have realised his touch is further than the rest of their squad can kick it.

Don't, it's painful. I remember at the time wanting us to be better though, the 6th place finishes, FA Cup semi, UEFA Cup runs etc were great but I wanted us to kick on. What a spoilt fucking brat was I, I'd kill for a 10th of all that now.

I've got a feeling you're going to end up chuffed by the end of the window. Fair enough it's not been great so far but the signs are encouraging.

Ironically I'm currently between 'actual' jobs so all I do is sit on here and try and cheer up the dour. You're going to be my toughest challenge.

Whilst you are it why not end poverty and develop a cure for AIDS

Agreed, highly unlikely we shall see anything happen before Monday.... next week will be stressful I suspect.

This. Betting on clubs to get desperate and putting the message out on the media that were not going to pay what they're currently asking. Though some of his press conferences have been a little muddled so part of me wonders if he bothers to think along those lines.

The "in some ways" meant he was a great impact player to have from the bench.

Full matches? None. But I suspect you know this hence your question so I will refer you to the "in some ways" part of my post.

Interesting to hear that neither of them are top of the list, encouraging in some ways as they were two of our best players last year. I wouldn't expect him to admit it if they were however - might be a tactic to get them to lower their asking price for Arma.
