    Ex Player Watch

    Teams like Bournemouth have had a lot of success getting the ball forward more quickly.

    Left Back, Left Wing Back

    Of course we could be playing Milan and KKH on the right when Tatsu tires.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Norwich new USA owner, who has a lot of experience owning a sports team over there, had a sideways dig at the owners from over the pond in the Championship. Says having money doesn't mean all that, unless you spend it wisely and have the right coach. I interpreted this as a dig against...

    Left Back, Left Wing Back

    There were two schools of thought last season. Our left sided wide defenders were a weakness or they were always being exposed because Haji or Ephron were not helping them out. Oggy believed it was the latter. We have Brau and he is being played at left sided midfield so far which is strange. I...

    Monaco

    Russell Martin said he was totally shocked how quick and physical Premiership players were when Southampton got promoted. It's why the promoted teams often struggle. The only way lesser players can get near these types of teams is to be aggressive and the opposition take it easy. Happens...

    Pre Season Friendlies

    Perhaps now may be the best time to mention that I think we lost every pre-season game the year we won the cup in 1987.

    Pre Season Friendlies

    Last season they said we needed better opposition to get us ready to be right on it when the season started. They said Leicester's success was due to a hard pre-season. Didn't quite work out for us. Worst decisions were to play that team who kicked shit out of us during our warm weather training...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Grimes ticked most of the boxes for what we were lacking in midfield. Shame he is not a goalscorer, although he would have cost way more. Older players are sometimes a gamble because they may be more injury prone and suddenly drop off. See Godden for us. However, some outfield players can still...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    That is a very definitive statement, as if you are actually have insider knowledge of what actually goes on with transfers. Do you have proof Robins definitely had the final say on Waghorn and BTA? Incidentally, the latter may yet prove to be a good signing. I have no knowledge of how things...

    So where does hamer go now?

    It was in the Telegraph (Cov) recently. A classic piece of clickbait. The club Hamer would love to return to. Not us, I'm afraid.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    We are selling a player who would currently not pass a fitness test for £10 million. Yeah teams do that all the time. As the old sying goes, If bullshit was music we would have a brass band.

    He was fixed to go to a higher league last season but got injured. Grimsby took him back even though still injured, as they were so impressed with him.

    Early Pre-season Final Table Predictions

    Ipswich smashed us with their second team in the cup. You never look any further than the parachute payment clubs who will be at the top unless Leicester have a massive deduction. I think Luton were an anomaly last season. We have a good squad but will teams just park the bus? Our end of season...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Vik is clearly kicking off to get a move. Reports say Vik is willing to take a hit on his percentage of the fee which shows a player who backs his own talent. Think Sporting will have to accept a drop on the amount they want or have a very unhappy player. Probably still be a substantial sum but...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Vic looks increasingly like a done deal, but unfortunately, the fee is no longer as high as we hoped. Gus may still move but we cannot rely on it happening, as last season was the optimum time for him to go further up the football pyramid. The fringe players are currently our squad, so to move...

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Wenger said building a new ground put Arsenal back years as they could no longer compete on transfers. 60k is peanuts for a ground these days. Most big projects go way over budget as well. Many new grounds have put clubs in trouble. Ours did. Think the Madejski Stadium was a particularly...
