    Might that have been the game when Brian Borrows (briefly and bizarrely pushed forward into midfield if I recall correctly) got injured, thus missing the Cup Final?

    tbf it says 'The role can be very different in different clubs'. If this change is confirmed, it will be interesting to see how it's intended to work.

    Dean Austin

    If these changes are to shield Robins from some stuff and make his life easier in managing the football team and recruiting players, that's good. If it's undermining him in any way, I'd be very concerned.

    Gyokeres

    I’ve been a fan of Vik from the start, even during the loan spell because despite the occasional clumsiness you could see he was physically so much stronger and more athletic than any striker we’d had for a very long time. He’s improving all the time I think, but the weaknesses are still there...

    Gyokeres

    Yes please shmmeee. What are my duties, can I work from home, and when do I start? Presumably I get paid holidays?

    True, but they are still getting pissed on every week.

    Dabo

    Comments like 'Shit is infinitely better than Dabo', 'Dabo is appalling' and 'Dabo is tripe' are properly negative tbf

    Gyokeres

    Everton seem to be getting spurned by multiple transfer targets. It's certainly a very big club, but it's toxic at the moment.

    Jamie Allen is Guilty of War Crimes

    Yeah, there's fair criticism for individual performances or specific weaknesses, but we do also get ridiculous serial attacks on some players (as per your OP), and I'd be amazed if they were oblivious to it.

    Jamie Allen is Guilty of War Crimes

    The effect of groaning from the stands has been discussed, but I reckon social media knockers (!) with a constant drip feed of negative critiques have at least as much potential impact on a player’s confidence. It’s naïve to think that opinions expressed on places like this don’t filter through...

    Next two months

    It's difficult to answer because we don't know whether you'll get your wish for Gyokeres to be sold.

    Doug King Takeover

    Maybe it’s as simple as that, but how often does an individual person just buy a football club? I’m no expert, but I doubt whether much of the Sisu money came personally from Joy, and I doubt whether much of the money now belongs personally to Doug. We never get told who the actual investors are...

    I'd google for that sensitive gel for ladies, but I'm too scared of the ads that Nick might start serving up to me.

    Great pic at Highfield road - was it you ?

    It looks like the average manual wage in 1968 was £22/week, but the average top-flight player got £59/week (equates to about £1140 today). I imagine going to Arsenal Bobby Gould got more than that, and would have been delighted with maybe four times the wages of the man in the street. Now a...

    No, as explained above ticket which cost 4/6d in 1967 was 22.5p in the new currency, and that's less than £4.50 today after taking inflation into account. The £90,000 for Bobby Gould (1968) equates to about £1.75m now.

    4/6d is 22.5p So you, PVA and Deleted member 9744 would all get in together for 67p
