  1. Think there’s a bit of reverse snobbery, fans touted as heroic working class to whom football is life and nothing but the maximum is enough.
  2. Interesting one for Lampard now if the Bournemouth job is his to refuse. Cushy enough number, nice part of the country, small fan base to keep content but if he went there and didn’t get promotion it may mark as another failure on the CV, think he’ll be careful about the next job. Think he’ll end Up there though as they seem well matched
  3. The sell on fee is a percentage of the profit not the full fee. Depending on what our settlement we got was the sell on fee won’t be too much
  4. Just left Sunderland by mutual consent with one goal to his name in the EFL cup, fans not best pleased with him Being there.
  5. Interesting that the Greek lad not even on the bench for the under 23s, could he get a late loan?
  6. Sounds like a good signing, never seen him nor heard of him before January but he seems well thought of. Still don’t think Douglas is the answer even after a couple of decent games (in which he made mistakes which he got away with), and Bell isn’t the answer either so it’s good to see a plan at least for next season.
  7. Tommy K and now HP, Mowbray relying on bus sauce based signings
  8. Finally it’s time for Runya Bollocksov we’ve been waiting for this day
  9. By the way I was punishing myself and looking at some old threads recently, if you think being unsatisfied or spoilt with the position we are in is a new trend look at this great post from @Mattyblue 10 years ago This is on the back of us beating Wolves 3-0 at home, I remember it well, we were 3 up and attacking in numbers when Allardyce motioned to slow down and we passed it back and there were some boos from the Blackburn end. We were top half of the premier league and still many wanted more, as Matty pointed out 8-10th in the top flight wasn’t seen by a lot as good enough! Not being 100% satisfied with an unconvincing win isn’t a new thing there will always be divided opinions.
  10. Ah I know it’s not intended but Bell has done nothing sinister other than being not up to standard, not sure why we would pay him up or freeze him out. If he’s not sold he’s just part of the squad, Douglas has improved but still not convinced he’s worlds better!
  11. Pretty sure he lives in Telford now; I’ve seen him reference it before on Twitter
  12. Ah come on your were joining us a couple of weeks back! Got the results he’s needed recently and afforded himself longer but if we don’t reach top 6 he should be gone, I tend to think we’ll drop off then get relatively close again and miss out by 5/6 points and get another stab at it. And then repeat for next season
  13. His second wasn’t bad either, local journo fawning over him
  14. Kaminski has been a wonderful signing, not just big saves but his presence has hugely helped us after clowns like Walton
  15. Seen the replay seems odd the flag went up when it did
  16. Sounds like Douglas did something good! Sorcery
  17. We’ll probably win, but it underlines how we are going nowhere, we will be the perennial almost nearly men (as in we aren’t even the nearly men) under this regime
  18. Yay Dolan, four subs at once though is always a risk, we could spend 5 minutes working out who plays where. Bonus is it may take them longer to suss it
  19. Bertie Branthwaite down injured
  20. Not having that, he started a few weeks back and hasn’t played for 6 days when he only played 25 minutes Unless Tony got it wrong playing him previously
  21. I’ve seen people mention it as possible and it’s pure speculation but I wouldn’t be shocked to see Holtby move late on Monday back to the continent
  22. I think the game tipped our way with the save then follow up onto the post. They had been knocking on the door for quite a while at that point and could have been out of sight.
  23. 3/10 would be kind today
