    Summary of January business

    Sterling is a youngster making his way in the game. That is not a fair comparison. It would be a very long stretch of the imagination to call Meyler anything other than a journeyman, who in his last gig couldn't cut it in the championship at his peak. As for having premier league players at the...

    Transfer Rumour David Meyler

    He maybe the messiah but as yet he has to prove himself.

    Summary of January business

    Meyler was at the very very bottom of the premier league food chain, couldn't cut it in the championship and hopefully he will be a success with us. Risky business this transfer lark.

    Summary of January business

    More like Allah than Christ here in Riyadh! How do you know that this window has been better than others? Time will tell. Willing it to happen doesn't make it a good window.

    Summary of January business

    I can see the thinking behind the outgoing players being moved on but am underwhelmed by the incoming. I hope to be proven wrong. So far Bright looks okay but with little end product and we already have a few of those including everyone's wankfest Thomas. Chaplin is a disappointment to date, he...

    Doyle Leaving?

    Well he was certainly good enough to play so many games in our shirt. The 06 version of Michael Doyle, alongside Dennis Wise was good in my opinion. Last year his leadership was the best I had seen since Terry Yorath as a captain. A thank you would be kinder than dismissing his contribution to...

    Doyle Leaving?

    Ungracious. To quote the great Chas and Dave "There ain't no pleasing you"

    Doyle Leaving?

    I am sure that this deal suits all parties but I can't help feeling that this decision is a game changer. In 16/17 we lacked any leadership and sank like a stone. Doyle provides,if nothing else, leadership and I hope that I am wrong but Robins may come to regret this move.

    Albany Meeting ?

    I would be worried about the payroll nonsense as it will be rolled out constantly over the years as "proof" that you are in the pocket of the man. I can visualize it now "no smoke without fire" "wasn't he the one that it was proven he was paid by SISU" Water of a ducks back for you maybe but...

    I'll say it

    You could say that about so many games Otis, the issue for me is simple. We are not learning from our mistakes and therefore it is like taking candy from a baby when playing us. Opposition manager to players "At set pieces crowd their keeper" "Go out all guns blazing at the start of the second...

    I'll say it

    I have been fully behind Robins and he still has my goodwill however it becomes harder to argue with Nick's reasoning. The issues are staring him and us in the face and it appears that absolutely nothing is done to solve the problems.

    How we miss someone like this

    Speedie was a fantastic player but a real shit sadly both for us and for opponents. He had more than an edge though on his day he was truly wonderful hence his move to Anfield. Now Wegerle was a great player to watch but too little end product. At times he was sublime and with a deft touch. He...

    There is no more for me to say on the subject.

    Sol Campbell

    That is one way to look at it. Tony Adams failed at Wycombe got a coaching job at premier league Portsmouth and was made manager. Garett Southgate, poor love, was manager at premier league Middlesboro, who had just played in a European final. Sheringham was forwards coach at West Ham before...

    Sol Campbell

    You can look at all sorts of reasons but here's an observation. Frank Lampard, Derby, Steven Gerrard, Liverpool Academy and Glasgow Rangers, John Terry- Aston Villa #2 Sol Campbell, Macclesfield Town. I wonder if there is another stand out reason why that is so? Abbott is a poor politician in my...

    Sol Campbell

    What is clear is that he has had a positive effect on Macclesfield so far and deserves to be applauded for his impact. Over the course of time we will see if he is successful. Black, brown or white.
