He’s on the bench mate.

It’s come to something when a 15 point deduction feels lenient.

Scorchio!

on bus going past Hillsborough atm. Really small number of people outside the ground and outside the pub, far less than usual. The people selling the 50/50s and working in the hot dog stands are stood their doing nowt. It’s so sad to see. The cant needs to sell asap.

Suits the mood atm.

I got access to last year’s BETA before the proper release. Our team was all over the place, they’d put Shipston down as a GK and he was rated higher than Dawson!

BAH GAWD he’s broken that sonofabeach Chansiri in half!

The problem doesn’t seem to be any potential buyers. It’s the seller who doesn’t actually want to sell.

Warhurst brace v Blackburn, league cup semi final 1993. Wasn’t even a football fan before that game. Getting promotion over United in League One 2012 is up there too.

I’m guessing the ‘PW’ to the right on the first photo is Paul Warhurst.

I liked Steve Bruce and thought he could see all the problems at the club. If he stayed he would have sorted us out but I understand why he wanted to leave.

Here’s another general one I’ve believed for years: Premier League Clubs should not be in the League Cup. There’s too many games and most of them don’t care anyway, it’s also one more cup competition than the rest of Europe’s major leagues. I propose that the League Cup gets reformatted and the FA Trophy is scrapped. Keep the League Cup for EFL clubs but to make it competitive the prize for the winner would be the final play off spot in their respective division (i.e a league one club who won it would get the last play off spot in league one). If any club in the top six won it then the play off spot would go to the sixth placed cup as it is now.

A general one: the modern football fan wants quick turnovers, players to run up the pitch and get a guaranteed goal with no physical contact. the modern football fan is watching the wrong sport. They should be watching the NBA.
