Ipswich went down the road of buying all the best Championship players. Clearly, not a template to follow. They went for quantity over quality. That said, a PL side better than Sheff U should have bought Vic and Gus.

Absolutely agree, with the proviso that we are currently in the second tier and The PL has got exponentially better since 1980. His passing is exceptional, but in the PL passing between the lines gets way harder.

Gillespie brilliant. Jess described as the best player, at that time with the ball, but overall not great. Stein loved for his effort, heading ability and toughness, but again, more loved than was justified. Described by one journalist as a player who could not trap a bag of cement. Kevin...

Styles got sent off for them against us last season.

Both of those two had great youth careers and were seen as good signings at the time. Robins said Hillsner had brilliant skill and ability, but unfortunately, his undetected respiratory problems ruined his career. He played for Germany at U16 to U19 level. Kastaneer had a good pedigree and our...

One was a Southampton loan who couldn't play. Don't know about the others, just that their manager was saying the loss was down to missing players.

You would like the new Football Regulator. He was negotiating with a lawyer in a his previous financial life. The lawyer said something like you act as if you think I am too woke. David Kogan replied no I think you are a boring c**t.

Simms good. Tatsu got us back into it and played well. Eccles started poorly but got better and good movement and header for the crucial goal, when they looked strong at the back. Nearly scored with a couple of scrambled shots as well. EMC good control and their defender had his shirt off his...

The concern with the parachute clubs should be real, as they have squads that will become more important as Winter bites, heavier pitches, injuries poor form and suspensions come into play. That is why we need two quality players in January. The one game we lost was due to a suspension, illness...

Wonder if they have any other good players?

If HS2 or other trains are moving at speed past the ground, then the noise will be awful. Same for full speed inter city trains. Don't know how close they are? Go to the youth training ground, the Coventry to London train sounds intrusively loud.

I'm with Arsene Wenger (a proper football man) not some Johnny come lately expert. Wenger said if you build a new ground it puts the club out of top division contention until the money is paid off. That is what happened to Arsenal and many other clubs that built new grounds, as well as us.

That's what I would hope will happen. Bamford has no long term future or resale value. Assume he wanted big wages. Also supports the idea that Lampard does not have the absolute final say on signings, although perhaps he had a rethink as well.

I was just to the left of the goal at the front of the overflow at the covered end, when you look towards the pitch. H&S screwed all that.

Birmingham City, the Benny from Crossroads team in the West Midlands.

Their home attendances are not what they were.

Forgot all about that.

In other words, will play for Hull until a better offer comes in. Must admit I completely did not believe we had offered £10 million but it keeps being mentioned. Wasn't Woolfie as well as Hughes? Perhaps we do have some real money to spend.

Come on. Someone needs to write him a song to the Kinks, Dedicated Follower Of Fashion. (Oh yes he is), ready for Christmas.

Which team started it? They are all at it now. Was it us, or did we copy another club? Remember Dewsbury-Hall moaning after we beat Leicester how we reacted as if we had won something other than just a match.
