    Bruno Fernandes - how the other half live !

    Re: Coventry City "It is a tough game," said Fernandes. "I see some of their games because my chef at home is a Sunderland fan, so I get to see some Championship games sometimes with him at home. Any of our players have their own chef, do we think? Perhaps Mick Quinn in the past? Edit...

    Big Vik - Nearly had a mare with google !

    Saw that he was playing tonight and somebody said on facebook that it was on TV ....so I typed into Google 'Where can I watch Young Boys (before I started to have an internal meltdown 😬) With a revised search involving Sporting Lisbon, I found out that they are playing Young Boys at the...

    The Press !!!

    Watching Chelsea crush Villa, Forgetting the skill levels, they've just swamped Villa with an aggressive press and blown them out of the water. A team consisting of energetic players up front and in the middle can totally disrupt the opposition, particularly if the defenders are not comfortable...

    Leamington and Warwick is NOT in Leicestershire!!

    To the 'mob' outside The Wheatsheaf after the Leicester game (and I and a few others often drink in there pre-match). We were travelling past the Wheatsheaf after the Leicester game in our Catteralls coach, when a couple of face covered youths started gesticulating 3-1 at us. Despite mouthing...

    Swiftie is a thread bumper

    Not sure I've encountered him/her before, but what is @Swiftie up to? Too much time on his/her hands to be trawling threads to embarrass posters. On a nearly related note, I'm starting to wonder if John Swift (West Brom) might be available in the January window (small fee, but big wages?)...

    Players on International Duty

    Jamaica 1-0 v Honduras Latibeaudiere booked, Palmer subbed (along with another Jamaican player) in 65th minute (so - hopefully - not an injury issue).

    Threat from set pieces

    Despite our relative success last season, the one area that I felt we were rarely a threat (Hamers technique aside) was from set pieces. We were a relatively small team with little aerial threat, and even Vik didn't provide much, despite his physique. This season, we seem to have acquired a...

    Attendances next season

    Just been thinking about next season's attendances, and with the likes of Leeds, Leicester, Sheff Wed joining the division you'd think the average would be even higher than this season. However, there are going to be more non Saturday 3pm fixtures, due to additional 'TV' coverage, which may...

    To beer or not to beer, that is the question

    I drink on occasions, but not OTT, but with a long day and the later ko time, I think I'll have a few (to deaden the feeling (should the worse happen) but knowing that the adrenaline will overcome the alcohol should we prevail. Can always watch the replay stone cold sober afterwards Going to...

    Added time at the 'business end' of the season

    Not sure what is happening, but seeing the added 8 minutes at 'Boro the other night, and Mina scoring the Everton equaliser in the 99th minute, I notice that the added time (especially where there is just one goal in it) seems to get cranked up for the important games (and then extra again). If...

    EFL new TV rights deal (hopefully irrelevant !)

    If we got a big wedge for Vik......

    Let's say £20m... Would it be worth (assuming he won't sign a new deal) keeping Gus for the final year of his contract, and turning down any offer for him (unless it's £10m type of money). I really think we might be able to make a decent fist of it in The Championship next season (assuming the...

    Alternative match thread for the Stoke game

    i was stuck in Leeds city centre for the match today (had to take my son to have a gander at the Music Conservatoire) Turned on my phone to discover we were 2-0 down, then my battery ran out at half time. Knew we wouldn't turn it around when a bloke came up to me and offered me money ( thinking...

    Wouldn't it be good....Blackburn (away)

    Swansea away ....sold out 👏 👏 👏 👏 QPR away....sold out 👏👏👏👏 Let's make it a hat-trick for Blackburn. Yes, it's a midweek game, and some will struggle re: finances and work, but when was the last time we had momentum like this? That 12th man (especially at a ground where the home fans...

    This summer - potential signings

    Slightly different to transfer rumours, I'd be interested to see who people thought might be worth a punt on. Only got thinking about this as I was reading the QPR forum (sad git that I am) and was reflecting how Rob Dickie, their cb has gone from a potential multi million transfer to a PL club...
