We always miss the obvious one’s Living on a prayer - for Latibeaudiere was rejected in favour of a copied chant about the size of his genitals. And for Ben Sheaf we regurgitated the “every fucking where” chant instead of “Sheaf’s the One” which would have been original. Maybe when we sell him...

Lineker hardly mocked us. This seems like genuine empathy to me.

If we don’t go up we will need to replace MvE: prob Haji Wright (who might fancy a move to Germany/Spain/Portugal ahead of the World Cup to keep his profile high) and I’m increasing concerned that Rudoni might attract attention from the Prem.

Be amazed if someone on here doesn’t mention ex-player Liam Walsh….

If Stoke go down, we could put in a cheeky bid for Johansson 😉

He’s on a long contract (only signed in Jan 2024) and could well be called into the full Croatia squad this summer. Also it appears that despite a good reputation, his game against us was by far his most outstanding game.

Weigh up sky blues!

Rinse and repeat. Collins’ confidence is completely shot. He refuses to catch the ball under the bar and tries to fist it away, often this is inappropriate and puts us under unnecessary pressure. He is desperately trying to reset the narrative and command his area. However his self-doubt has...

Sakamoto vs Plymouth?

So many bad omens. Apparently Liam Walsh is in outstanding form for them. And Jordan Clark who has been on the winning side against us 14 times in his career is back. His last career goal was at Wembley against us.

The John Humphrey thing probably doesn’t belong here, it wasn’t so much a single tackle but a 90 minute series of fouls and kick during Charlton’s 0-0 draw at HR. During David Smith’s breakthrough season (1987-8). To my mind Smith never fully took his fullback on again after that encounter the...

Was a terrible challenge but - as I’ve said in the other thread I was less surprised that Sakamoto wasn’t sent off for kicking out after he was fouled. I don’t know if 55 refers to your birth year but if you don’t remember Summerbee on Froggatt, Megson on Emerson, or even Humphrey on Smith...

Yesterday’s ref has not shown a single red card all season. But before we get too agitated can I point out that Sakamoto gets sent off for his kick out after being fouled in 99% of games?

The problem is one has to play the next two games (and hopefully more).

Kitchin’s dithering when faced with the ball, and an onrushing Collins vs Burnley is the starkest example. The chaos around goal line clearances/scrambles vs Hull (Grimes and Latibeaudiere) and yesterday (Lati and MvE) might be said to be others.

I think he’s probably better than Wilson generally but given his performance at the end of last season and throughout this he is completely unselectable I’m afraid. His lack of confidence - and the resultant lack of confidence in him from the rest of the team - leads to overcompensation (his...

Long way to go before we start worrying about this….

Jay, would you like this polo or not?
