But that’s my view I’m fairly certain yours is totally different.

Yes, but like I say I was asking for yours and not looking to pick at it.

Am I correct that we are required to produce our retained list this week?

TBF, I think Ainsworth has fewer votes in favour than keeping Evatt - he's got one with maybe a second pick after Duff from Dibs...Move on. The "get ridders" sometimes don't help themselves much... :-) They don't, but equally your point about "dead man walking" isn't miles off. Like I say, every pr...

Absolutely respect all that. And it’s hard to express it accurately on here. Santos is indeed a physical monster and when he’s in that mode is very good. The problem is he’s rarely in that mode and when he’s not is a liability. And certainly doesn’t dominate strikers when he’s not on it. Yes. Howev...

The reality is that all the promoted managers got close to the sack last season. All three had fans calling for their heads, all got called bottlers, etc. Mousinho and Bucks did genuinely good jobs. They navigated difficult moments when they could have lost their jobs, under really difficult circums...

if you hire Ainsworth, you get hoofball

...and no "Plan B."

We’ve been a laughing stock at Wembley twice now. Not sure which performance was worse… maybe Saturday is still too raw. Stoke. Easily. We were crap against Oxford. Really bad. But they didn't absolutely batter us like Stoke did. If Stoke had fancied it they could have turned it on and had 8 or 9. ...

We didn’t. We were the team they didn’t want to play. We absolutely did. Let's not rewrite history here. "Fat Sam and his hoofball merchants" were constant targets. After the loss in the final against Boro it was there for months. Same when we were going bust. When we went down under Owen. I could ...

Oxford have earnt their party. Let them enjoy it.

Oxford singing about us on their open top bus parade. One of the worst things is how much of a laughing stock Evatt has made of us.

You're not telling me you're rattled by a chant

I'm desperately trying to work a Superman / Supera Moras pun here but I'm not getting there.

If we spend much longer in League One we'll have to change it to "Super Morass."

Nice touch this. I wish him well. Never rated him in the beginning as his work rate, defensive side and flirting in and out of games with flashy dribbles didn't impress me. But credit to him, he clearly worked on his game and became a valuable player to us in the end. Which is also to the credit of...

I thought ours was much better than their rather dull dude. Except when ours was reading the teams and got to Ogbeta, for whom he had no daft little name, and just said "Number 17, er... Nathanael Ogbeta."

Perhaps an each to their own then. Not worth verbiage hashing it out.

More "stay" voters than "go" now. Only by the famous 52-48% split, but y'know.

Evxit means Evxit.

So with Paris gone we need to replace what he offers, but the player we sign also needs to be able to win the ball, battle in the air and lead the team by running through brick walls.

That Clark Kent lad who plays for Sporting Kansas is supposed to be good...

Yeah, if they don't make you wanna vomit, that probably helps, but we're a football team, not a dating app.

I have my reasons for not liking some people in football. Alex Neil, Danny Murphy and others. I'd not want them associated with my football club and I'll leave it at that.

None of these things are related of course - parking issues, flags, the performance. All entirely independent. But it just all adds up to the ‘mental picture of the day’ that will last. Kind of symbolic. They're not related other than the club higher-ups should have sorted the details on the non-pl...

That would do. I don't want to be his bezzie.

The current one is also not very likeable and wins lots of football matches.

Change to a 433, however you cut it, and the FB isn't the striker's job anymore. Dion's pressing stays contained and we get more minutes out of him. Essentially you press with 3 (or 4 if you want to play a 10 to do that) rather than 2. Dion's phenomenal work rate aside he's not quick enough to run ...
