I agree with much of that (except to say that I could see ability in Barnett even when some were saying he was the worst player ever, and I wasn’t alone. He needed time to find his feet, just like Stokes did and Bigi could well be the same). Knowing how players are going to develop is very...

My take on it is that the owners have said no more money will be put in, so the club must pay for itself. Selling Maddison is the only way to keep it going competitively (ish). The manager advised Joy that hanging on to him for a couple more years could pay off handsomely, but she’s sticking...

What I don’t get G is that you spend a lot of time around here spouting off about other people not being genuine fans, just because they don’t meet some invisible quota of posts on a match day. Yet you seem to be brushing off the sale of Maddison as if it didn’t bother you one way or the other...

NW - I've "liked" this not because I like it (if you know what I mean), but because I think you are spot on with your interpretation. But the problem remains that we have sold this outstanding young player too soon and for too little money. He might have funded us for several seasons if we'd...

I can’t believe the philosophical reaction of so many posters. The shitfest of the last few years has hardened me to most things about CCFC, and the ups and downs don’t affect me anything like they used to. But for me, this ranks alongside the sales of Dennis Mortimer and Robbie Keane on the...

If Vincelot and Rose both played, maybe Fleck would have more freedom to get forward - personally, I'd like to see that. Fleck works well when operating from deep, but I think he's capable of doing more damage. On the other hand, the team pretty much picked itself at the start of the season...

Armstrong is currently slightly ahead in terms of development. I really like him, and he’ll probably make a Premier League striker. But if Maddison can fulfil his potential, I reckon he will be the better (and more valuable) player, maybe a regular international. The question is...

Ecstasy I presume?

No Nick, that’s too inflammatory. You need something neutral like “Anti-Franchise Heros vs Council Fanboy Hypocrites” ;)

Decent set of results tonight IMO. Posh, Sheffield and Bradford all failing to win. I'm settling into looking for a playoff place, whilst of course hoping for a fantastic run to get us into the automatics. Let's face it, the playoffs would be more exciting than anything we've seen for many a...

The most popular thread on the Wasps section was kicked off in October with … "Well according to a rather subdued Mr Eastwood on CWR it seems the franchise bunch are 'hoping' for 10,000 tomorrow. Still of course more than the Wycombe fixture last year and of course everyone is obsessed with the...

I have nothing against this thread, but would like to point out that it was fifty-two years ago :)

He can play, but looks like a square peg in a round hole. Surely he’d make a better central midfielder?

If only! Martin Cranie maybe, which is no bad thing.

Kneeza – apologies to you (also Hill83 & Otis) regarding the existing stand. When I was there, I had done a rough calculation in my head based on counting the rows & columns of seats. On re-doing that using a photo, I can see that 3,000 is right. So my 5,000 was about as far over the bar as a...

If you go there and have a look at the existing stand, basic though it is it appears to hold about 5,000. There's room on the opposite side to expand, so building a 20,000 seat stadium there is technically quite feasible I would have thought. I'm not advocating it, just saying it looks possible.

Yes, it was pure genius wasn't it? Had a perfect view from the "Crow's Nest" at the top of the Kop :)

There are plenty to choose from including Hudson, Gould, Ferguson, Wallace, Houchen, Regis, Quinn and Gibson. The sensible choice would no doubt be Dublin and Keane. But I’m going for a couple of old favourites - Neil Martin (for his incredible heading ability and underrated all-round play)...

Nice one Terry! About 6 goals per match wasn't it :)

No more Prem spoilers please - some of us like to watch MOTD without knowing the scores ;)
