Good point Fernando. Our first goal at Portsmouth was created by a left channel run from Godden (fantastic player and movement) and a cross into Hiwula in the centre forward position. With Jobello racing up to support. That's real fluidity in a front 3. Also last year we had the glory days...

Agree with every word of what Irish Sky Blue has said. Milne an absolute legend and deserves far more recognition from the club/fans: SUPREMOS: A profile of former Sky Blues manager Gordon Milne He also had a very decent career after leaving us - he's a folk hero in Turkey for what he did...

Gordon Milne has to be in this debate.

I mostly agree with Dreamer on this. The rivalry with Villa seemed a little contrived to me even in the 90s. Villa were focused on other teams in Birmingham etc. We needed to manufacture a rivalry - not saying though there wasn't an edge by the time we were relegated. I also don't recall...

If you take up Grendel's offer (please spare us) to write for you...... 'WE'RE FUCKING SHITE AND I HOPE WE LOSE' ......would fit the content nicely.

How about: 'Greggy's owl and 10 bags - the wonders of the close season'

My best guess is that the intended formation (before injuries) in the promotion season was: Burge Grimmer, Willis, Davies, Stokes Kelly, Doyle, Andreu McNulty, Biamou, Jones Last season was a bit weird as following the failings of Ogogo, Andreu and Doyle......10 bags Bayliss ended up...

I think this is another thing BlueElephant that Robins does very well and that we don't discuss very often. He doesn't hold onto favourites/own signings and seeks to improve in every position each year. I'm sure that last year he was desperate for his big signings (Ogogo and Brown) to...

That's a good point shmeee and you are right - it was close to a 4-4-2. I think the formation in the second half of the promotion season was engineered mainly to accommodate young 10 bags Bayliss (on the right) with an enforced centre pairing of Doyle and Kelly - as Andreu was not available...

Can't personally see Robins switching to 4-4-2 - apart from if injuries dictate. The whole philosophy of the club is increasingly based on a fluid passing game with a 4-3-3 set up. Not sure if the U23s play 4-3-3 as well but wouldn't be surprised. The recruitment over the summer of a keeper...

Please fuck off and support someone else. You seem to hate everything about this club so no idea why you bother to follow us. As others pointed out it was very interesting to see that you only piped up last night at the point that we went 3-1 down. It's 100% obvious that you are only happy...

Thought he would be a disaster. Surprisingly good. Discuss.

I have my head in my hands at this point. Making it without going through an academy is incredibly unlikely - doesn't mean that it never happens. Jesus wept.

I've actually said the following: 1. Let's have a season supporting the team rather than searching for a boo boy as you seem to want to do. I have detailed why we should support AB off the bench. You seem intent on completely dismissing certain players in our team with personal attacks vs. a...

Look you absolute Clown. I know something about this world. The probability of making it as a footballer without going through an academy is even lower compared even to the almost impossible odds of making it into an academy and then progressing onto being a professional.

Please just for once stop embarrassing yourself Grendel. I'm actually genuinely beginning to feel truly sorry for you at this point.

Exactly.

Serious drugs Grendel or is this final confirmation that you are totally fucking insane?

But not in the dark hatred of Grendel's mind unfortunately. By mentioning Withey in such negative terms he shows that his need for a boo boy and a player to be dismissive about goes back about 40 years. Once Max and AB move on - he'll be desperately looking for another of our players to...
