Yes, there's that, but we were also outplayed for the bulk of the game, which is not down to the ref.

Referee utterly lost control of that. All the business after the goal was right in front of one of the officials. How the fuck did that no. 8 stay on the pitch? Completely unprovoked, he went for Wright, yet we get two yellows. Abysmal officiating. Simms is clearly a superior player to BTA, so...

Bristol City go down at every touch and we've been really poor aren't mutually exclusive standpoints. But I'm not arguing that that's been anything other than a completely gutless display and deserving of absolutely fuck all. Eccles and Torp don't look anywhere close to the standard.

MvE and Wright above the level of this division. The only one you can give a bit of criticism for was the second header that was way off target. They had absolutely no answer to him, and the coolness to finish the winner is the sign of a proper player. He's above the level of this division.

And what if the right players aren't available / don't want to join / join Nottingham Forest at the last minute? What are we supposed to do about that? Buy the wrong players for the sake of it?

One of the very best players I've seen play for the club. I know Sheffield Wednesday were very good when he played for them, but it's odd that he didn't play for one or more of Europe's top sides. Borrows would undoubtedly have won England caps if he had played for a more fashionable club...

Completely right that he should have gone on to big things. Whelan was a stupendous player, but didn't have the maturity to deal with life with money and a degree of fame. Leeds would never have sold him if he had had. It was probably the wrong era for him; big money and exposure starting to...

This thread will still be going by the end of August.

He played a huge part in our promotion to the Championship and was our player of the year in our first year up. He's played a big part in where we are now. To imply otherwise is sulky revisionism.

That's blatantly bollocks. He was good for us, and we were good for him, but it's hardly as if he wouldn't have a career somewhere else if things had have been different. He's a talented man. I genuinely don't understand the bitterness; I don't see that he's done or said anything wrong.

"So, Callum, welcome to Sheffield United. I'm sure you're glad to get the deal over the line; what was it that attracted you to the club?" "Thank you; very glad to be here, and looking forward to meeting all the lads and getting ready for the season. I was coming to the end of my contract, and...

Cute buns, presumably.

They're playing Oviedo aren't they (ROV). Who we once signed Keith Thompson from. I'm still not entirely sure why.

Not words I necessarily expected to ever see in relation to Coventry City.

Allen's a really useful member of the squad. Boundless energy, disciplined, is good at moving the ball quickly from back to front and links the midfield and forwards well. If it hadn't been for injury, I think we'd have seen a lot more of him last season. If it was a straight choice between the...

See, parodic language. If you want to make it believable, then make it language actual people use, not 14 year-old sub-Tate wannabees.

More that he's an option there, and they won't know each other, perhaps?

Tbf, the first lad would move faster if he didn't have a big rubber band around his ankles.

Sean Bean was good in Game of Thrones, though.
