Blackburn could have had three before we scored. Sometimes you just get lucky and the ball falls right. Dovin of course was exceptional and kept us in the game. Number of times Schmeichel did that against us for Man U. Dovin looked as if he was suffering the move when he first came and was not...

No nothing about this chap. Lets hope he is good. I remember our relationship with Rangers being described as Mugger and Victim. We did buy a lot of crap, overpriced players from them over the years. Before anyone says but what about Colin Stein, remember he was described by one top commentator...

I have always thought MWE, JDS and Bidders are better as wingbacks (even Bidders who is a more natural full back). That is because they are all defensively exposed with a back four. Our first choice left side attackers Haji and Mason-Clarke don't give adequate cover to left backs. Kitch was...

Misread as Alien Resurrection.

First time Eccles has not improved year on year. Either the natural drop in form that all youngish players experience, something gone wrong in his personal life or he is not happy with the new set up. Hopefully the first and he will bounce back soon.

Spot on. The only point I would question is the fitness? We used to score a lot of goals near the end of matches, now we seem to concede them. May not be fitness but confidence.

Whilst I agree players are improving and look more organised than earlier in the season, we have been improving players for the last 8 years. Early this season was a bit of a blip. On CWR, they played a game against Bristol City in the Championship we won. Vik and Gus were on the bench. That...

The old adage. How to lose millions, buy a football club. The only way I could see him buying the City is if he wanted a plaything as he gets older.

Or snake oil salesman depending on your point of view.

If we start like we did against Bristol we will lose. We are a bit of a bogey side for Blackburn, but our away form is not great. Talking to a Blackburn fan down the pub today. I was surprised their fans are not totally convinced with Eustace? Obviously, they hate the owners, but are still stuck...

Up there with the brown kit. Think they are going for legendary bad status.

As a massive Mark and Adi fan, and suspicious about what actually happened behind the scenes, what is really important is, what will happen from here onwards. King will be judged primarily on where we finish during his tenure. Add in the quality of football, and if the finances are better when...

Yes he played at Sunderland a couple of seasons ago and that was the worst game I have seen him take part in. After that he was good there on occasion.

Bobby Gould or George Curtis used to batter the opposition goalie at the first corner. Never mind the ball, get on with the game. Shankley described the City under Cantwell as playing alehouse football. Revie's Leeds were a great team but a bunch of thugs. Jack Charlton said he had a book of...

Thought we would have a real chance of winning, as I thought with relegation a big possibility and resultant loss of millions they would play a weakened team. Fielded a strong one against Bristol Rovers.

OMG, am I advocating for King shock. Surely, unless Top Deck Doug is completely useless, he will have staggered the deals over different financial years, added on achievements, promotions etc to reach the full fee. I get the outgoings will have same provisos, but Vik's money has been reported as...

Pretty easy to cut and paste the interview if it is with the Telegraph, or copy if on audio. Would stop any arguments if it is indisputable. Look forward to seeing or hearing his exact words.

Whilst I completely agree with what you have said, I think our coaches should be improving, refining the players we have into a coherent unit that can get us at least into the top half of the division. Am I agreeing with Doug shock? Most of this team (injuries have not helped) got us near the...

Yes but the improvement from when he first joined to when he left us was vast. Bearing in mind the play off season he was carrying an injury near the end. Small margins, but if he had been fully fit and Gus didn't get injured against Luton, it may have been a different outcome.

Go on piss Grendel off, say Max.
