Havent they gone into Administration twice?

Aye, there's still nowt better than when someone inadvertently leathers the ball and it hits the referee square in the b'llocks though. Timeless.

I don't think one man makes all the systems more playable. He might help do a certain job...within em all. We could play a 4-5-1 for example and if we dont have anyone who can play the lone striker then Sam ain't gonna have made much of a difference.

Not sure any system suits all our players. Mainly on account of our completely random transfer policy and manager turnover.

Then you watch that game today and see what a near £20m internationl goalkeeper can do....

That De Gea kid might be available... Don't think we'd have to pay the £18.9 million they paid for him.

We've had a lot of players taken a lot more money out the club and been a lot better thought of.....For delivering less. Sometimes yer face fits wi fans or ot doesn't. Half his games have been from the bench. 50 goals. On a free transfer. We've done a lot, lot worse deals than that.

To be fair to him we've only had two players hit 20 goals in the last 25 years.

Great impact from Murphy and Nuhiu. One give us a focal point we dint have first half. Sumat to aim for. To play off. And the other injected some movement and drive. Someone will travel wit ball and drive people back. Thought Pelupessy played well n'all. Got in some good blocks and tackles. Especially on two breaks one at start of first half and the other in second when Mitrovic were away in box. Carried on where he left off in week. Them goals conceded though...

It'd have to be Fletcher for me. Ok, this is a bit of a b*locks at the end. But he's been the best for me. And if, I know it's at big if, if his injury is genuine. Be harsh to forget everything else he's done this season.

They'll not be laughing if they lean against your drainpipe for support!

Don't blame him to be honest.

One of me favourites in recent years. I'm a bit old fashioned but I like seeing someone out there getting stuck in. We've always been a bit milky for my liking letting opposition stroll about. Shame it seemingly turned to shyte. But that's life. If dressing room unrest is true you just can't have it. Anyroad. Cheers Sam.

Cheers for this mate. I haven't seen the game today. But from previous games you're usually on same lines as me so great to read this and a get good idea of what happened. 👍👍

Best footballer or best right back? Petrescu were a nice footballer....

"Where's aunt Shirley, mum?" "She's gone for some sea air and a bit of a break" "What? In Whiteley woods?"

We had a bloke used to comega in the boozer. Big bloke. Great character. But one new year he had a massive stroke. Could've killed him. 10 days later he rocks up. I says "You shouldn't be here, I know for a fact that your doctor said you had to give it up. I bumped into your lass at the shops" "He's told me to give up the beer son, it's true, which is why imanufacturers moving onto lager. Pint of export please" Yer couldn't tell him. It was jut how a generation of blokes were brought up - Work hard, play hard.

I think a lot of that is to do with the fact the retire 20/30 years before very one else and suddenly have a vacuum. For olden days players they might takeon a boozer or a shop, something to have to get up for. Theses who've earnt a fortune and don't need to do anything after, while they are still quite young have time to fill. And the devil makes use for idle hands or sumat.

To be honest ito just the same as most working class blokes int it? I worked with blokes in the past who thought nowt of sinking 10 to 12 pints like it were normal. To them it were normal. Not saying it's reight, and loads of em are dead now. Think it's the time too. The whole country has a boozing culture. I was working in boozers when all day opening came in. I remember Blair saying sumat along the lines of us being like our European mates and being able to enjoy an afternoon glass of winew with us snap. He were forgetting one thing. We, at that time anyroad, had a completely different booze culture. Oh, and shyte weather. Folks just started getting pissed all day them that could.

Loved this badge. Simplicity of it was its genius. RIP

Nay then, there's a covid poetey thread on here and I've been expecting you to put sumat in it for three days. And I don't wanna hear any excuses about yer drain pipe.

That was one of me saddest days. As an emotional teenager it felt like the family was losing someone.
