    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Whoever plays in centre midfield for City will get stick from fans here. The midfield is always under intense scrutiny. The diamond formation, the personnel, lack of width ... We always blame the midfield instead of looking at the bigger picture.

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Rich, You are entitled to your opinion about Sammy. I think it is irrelevant in this case. Players move on when they think they can get a better deal elsewhere. Sammy hasn't got a better deal... Yet. Time will tell if he succeeds or fails. It is in the nature of professional football at...

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Rich, Sammy has not got a club yet. None of us knows what he has been offered or rejected. It is all speculation. To some their prejudice fills in the gaps with.. He's crap. He thinks he's worth more, nobody wants him. No evidence, merely speculation. If it makes people happy to have their...

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    No evidence that any of the players that left were even offered new contracts. No evidence what wages they were offered or asked for or refused. All is speculation, sprinkled with prejudice. Note, dozens of players have no club yet and many will not until the transfer window closes. FWIW I...

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Don't see any difference myself. Players listen to their agents and try to get the best deal they can. Some are turning that into an opportunity to sneer at Sammy. No need for it, in my view. No evidence that Sammy thinks himself any higher than any other player does, except in the minds of...

    Atmosphere at Yeovil

    These fellas pay their money and think it gives them the right to shout abuse. Bull fighting might be more their thing. It is frankly depressing following City away. The moron fans make it a grim experience for other supporters. My last game was Forest away and it will be a long time before I...

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Keogh went to an average Champ club on more money ... Not the move he would have hoped for. Cardiff and Bristol City were not prepared to pay more as they thought he wasn't worth it. He would have only been a squad player at Cardiff, not first choice.

    Has Sammy Clingan been linked with anybody yet?

    Both Cranie and Keogh had to settle for a lesser move than they had hoped for and, I'm guessing, their agents promised. Sammy will be the same, but let's not let that stop us having a dig at Scapegoat Sammy and leaving Keogh and Cranie alone. Prejudice confirmed.

    People who doubt Andy Thorn...

    My main question about AT involves the pace and movement in the side. Whatever formation he adopts can he get his players doing what every successful side does when it has the ball...move the ball swiftly and accurately, move into space and outmanoeuvre your opponents? Exactly what you tell 9...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Can't shake the feeling that Pompey will wriggle out of their obligations and the consequences of their appalling behaviour yet again. The FL seem to bend every rule to keep them competitive. They will pack Fratton Park tomorrow, sneak a win against Bournemouth. On the back of this bounce fans...

    Thanks for agreeing with my point, Nick... Thanks for ignoring it Richie.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Would it not have been better to restrict the amount they can spend so that they can only afford to pay kids and non-league level wages? Why should they be allowed to spend decent money when they owe so much? Make them field kids and Div 6 types.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Obita to Pompey Looks like Pompey will add him to the squad they are assembling. Rumours on Pompey sites. Baffling how the FL can allow this.

    Sammy Clingan

    I would have him back like a shot. However, he was scapegoated by our fans despite 1) being played out of position all year, he is not a holding midfielder. He is a right sided passer who moves the ball to others. He is not suited for the role he played as he is mobile but not a great tackler...

    On point number 5, was there a higher standard of hunks? As there is a disappointing surplus of beer bellies and baldies amongst the chaps in our usual crowd.

    Martin Cranie - Your thoughts

    The joke is half our fans could never spell his surname ... CRANIE If some helpful souls pointed out the error they were called spelling fascists, pedants etc. It actually isn't about spelling .. It's about SEEING.

    Whoever these 2 turn out to be are likely to be a let down after all this feverish speculation. Still it's better than last summer's doom, gloom and MK fiasco.
