Robins and Viveash are our Clough and Taylor. If by some miracle we make the cup final, then it pretty much nails on their legendary status at the club. What a duo.

I somehow managed to stay awake to watch the game, and Palmer visibly sighed with relief when he realised he'd have been offside. It was a stinker of a miss, one of the worst I've seen in a long time. Have to say though, I'm thrilled we had 3 players on the field in an international semi-final...

It has nothing to do with liking him or not. It's not like I'm going to marry him. He had no success in club football, and as of yet he's had no success in international football. The best thing he's done is instill some standards and pride in wearing the shirt, which is great to see, but hardly...

Southgate was poor at Middlesborough, and got the England job by default because Big Sam was indiscreet and they needed a stop-gap. In both of his 'successful' tournaments we got very favourable runs to the the latter stages, and I can't recall a game that we won where we'd have traditionally...

Agree with the Moyes comment. He's on a hiding to nothing if he goes there, but he's also a very ordinary manager being pulled along by a few good international players. I think we do well as a country despite him, not because of him.

I don't quite get the Torp love-in on here. He's clearly a decent player, but I'm not sure he's proved himself to be any better than Sheaf and Eccles so far. I suspect the argument will be that Torp is the more progressive player, but I'm not convinced he's actually better.

Good point - Tavares is better than 1 goal a game! We have 16 different scorers so far this season. Is that close to a record for us?

Based on minutes per goal, we have one hell of a goalscoring team. Pretty impressive all told: Wright - better than 1 goal every 2 games Simms - better than 1 goal every 2 games O'Hare - better than 1 goal every 2 games Godden - better than 1 goal every 3 games Tatsu - better than 1 goal every...

I like Gary O'Neill, but this quote stinks of sour grapes: "Coventry were able to capitalise on the fact they played us on a day when we were miles below our best with loads of players missing, and we weren’t able to get it done"

What an utterly pathetic interpretation of what I said. I framed it exactly how I meant it. It was wrong, it rightly got press attention, but it was a distraction from football. If you think that is racist then you've got a fucking screw loose.

Hideous performance, great 3 points. A point off 6th after a dodgy few weeks isn't to be sniffed at. As an aside, I think the performances started going downhill after the Sheffield Wednesday issue. Obviously a very serious incident, and it rightly got press attention, but from a footballing...

And Nacho Novo

My only real criticism of MR is that he sometimes plays to not lose rather than to win. Sometimes it works, like against Leeds, but Ipswich springs to mind as one where we just gave too much respect. We're a pretty good team, so I just wish he'd attack the game a bit more and let the opposition...

The manager and his assistant fell out with the owner a few months ago, so it's not overly surprising in that context. Shame though, after all that time.

This is the Thomas one for the goal. That looks a bit naughty, tbf.

If it is a broken pelvis, and it's severe, the mortality rate looks frighteningly high - some articles say around 1 in 3, depending on severity. For a young lad who gives so much joy to suffer an injury like that is almost beyond belief. The footballing side doesn't matter right now, I just...

None other. Hard to believe in some respects, but I guess there aren't many English keepers in the first team in the top flight.

Spoke to Wilson at the start of the season, and he said he was something like the 6th best English keeper last season according to the data they use. I'm a big fan of Wilson, but that's just insane.

When he's on it, his feet are incredible, and I've never seen a player at this level consistently work himself so much space and opportunity. Yes, he's ungainly at times, but that's part of the package. I feel a bit sorry for those who can't see how lucky we are to have players like this.
