Agreed. Not only his goals, but his ability to keep a whole defence on their toes when up front on his own is a rare talent, and one I expect to be much sought after this Summer. We will do really well to hang on to him.

I tend to agree with those saying it would be nice to see Jones and O'hare playing behind Gyokeres. Stoke is the last chance to give it a go so I would like MR to try it from the start of the game, but I suspect Waghorn will get another start, and the best Jones will get will be another cameo.

I don't blame the ref for the head injury thing. He had no choice as even if he thought they were trying it on, the downside of being wrong is too serious. I do however think it was gamesmanship from them, and that it did slow our momentum and quiten the crowd and it was done for that exact...

The 'fans favourite' thing always seems to get pushed by people with an axe to grind about him. There were as many people giving him stick as there were that supported him, the same as with Doyle. Personally I thought Baker was a good league 1 player and served us well in that league. I don't...

Seem to remember us loaning Stern John to Derby where he wasn't very successful. When he came back though he soon played for us against Derby when we won 6-1 and he scored a couple!

I've thought for a long time that only season long loans should be permitted (with no recall options). PL clubs hoarding players is just not good for the game in my opinion.

I would be very surprised if Hamer plays. No point getting him suspended for the start of next season. Where's Bidwell by the way?

He was a decent player. Waghorn's previous season with Derby when he played more regularly wasn't particularly productive either, so his career does look like its on a downward trajectory. His performances haven't warranted a prolonged spell in the team either, and unfortunately for him I'm not...

Part of the EEA though allowing free movement of people.

I presume that he already holds UK residence rights, as he was already based in the UK when we left the EU.

While the idea of a fan's representative on the board sounds reasonable in theory, in reality it is completely unworkable. Who will be that fan, and how would he be selected? Look at the disagreements we have here about the most miniscule of issues, and it is clear that one person cannot...

Notts County and Luton were in the top flight the season before the PL though. Always slightly pisses me off how top flight football doesn't seem to count before the PL :mad:

I see ex Cov centre back pairing in the League 2 team :)

Interesting how they originally made it into the top flight in 1919 though. They had finished 5th in Division 2 in the last season before the 1st world war, and it was thought that a lot of money was exchanged to ensure their place in the new top flight after the war. Tottenham were placed in...

Yes fair enough. I appreciate its not impossible that someone can come from a relegated club at a lower level and still make the step up, particularly youngsters. Thinking about it I guess Scott Twine was in a similar position playing for a relegated League 1 club this time last year, and there...

No, the point was that they are being relegated from a league below us to an even lower league. The comparison with that West Ham team is ridiculous and not therefore comparable, even more so given that Lampard & Ferdinand (Rio anyway) were not part of that relegated team anyway.

To League 2?

How are they about to be relegated to League 2 if they have so many young talented players?

That draw at Huddersfield, we had played them off the park though! If I remember right I also think Cardiff were not in a great place at the time. Nevertheless there are plenty of games that felt lost opportunities at the time. Stand out ones for me were away at Barnsley and Derby at home, when...

Would we? They must have played their part in Barnsley's awful season!
