Woakes hits the top of off again and again. He has nagging consistency but it's easier to put away when you know you're facing 6 balls of it. Think Plunkett would have got the over for his variations if Archer had said no.

I didn't forget that, the deal was gone as soon as the season ended. Robins said as much in one of his interviews - that they shook hands at the end of the season and that was that. He wanted a Championship club and didn't get it for reasons we don't know. He's taken the next best option.

It's not like he announced a pre-planned move to Sunderland the morning after our season finished, he's clearly been trying to get a higher move. If in the end, despite a couple of trials, he couldn't get a championship team, what should he have done? Force his family to move abroad? Gone to...

Suggests our longer contract policy/recruiting is working excellently now because aside from Willis we haven't lost anyone we wanted to keep by them running their contract down and Junior Brown is the only one who hasn't worked out as planned that we haven't been able to shift on, and all that...

I guess it was sticky enough with all the jizz and Owl feathers.

Transfer Rumour - Bayliss

I really wonder how affected he is by his persistent injury and just how much it needs managing on a week by week basis. Perhaps signing a player who hasn't played at that level so isn't guaranteed to make the step up and who can get through games but might not be able to give 100% in every...

And 3 seasons later, Fleck is in the Premier League and with 2 promotions under his belt and still only 27, he's at the peak of his earning powers.

Shipley could do it in more positions than Bayliss though.

He hasn’t missed many games but does seem to have been carrying injuries for the last couple of seasons. Been plenty of limping during and at the end of games.

If he's been around a few championship clubs and not been offered a deal then Sunderland is an obvious choice if he's had to look outside of the champ. Not sure what all the fuss is about, it's not like we haven't got decent replacements. 1 month ago it was good luck to a loyal servant and now...

Didn't think the questions were particularly inspired this year!

I genuinely think the fatigue from the step up a league, a new position and playing with Doyle (who only had one gear - 'jog') was just too much for him having broken into the team midseason. We've become spoilt as a fanbase by a couple of decent seasons, wishing the riches of our academy away...

So we've had alcohol problems and attitude problems. Any raise on that? I've heard he mistreats his pet aardvark, so add aadvark problems to that list.

I did think it was interesting that this came out today, the day after Wilson being offered a lucrative new contract came out. Made me wonder if the club had a priority list of generating cash that was being ticked off.

But isn't that because homegrown players tend to come through at an earlier age and therefore have a greater scope for development and need for experience than an average established new signing, as the academy/homegrown/U23 player is naturally further behind in their development? I think it's...

You think Wasps genuinely didn't know about the EU case until Gilbert broke it, mid-talks?

They'll stick a finger in your pint while they jizz up your arse if you ask them though because they are that much more focused on the customer experience.

Bill Backpacker as he will forever be known to Clive Eakin.
