Interesting concept and one I hadn't thought of. I guess it could happen and would certainly be a statement of intent to try and force some hands but I'm not so sure it's the best way to go about things. It's also interesting the comments (not just on here tbf) that the EPL should just bail out...

I'd love us to put in another 'QPR' performance but I think the gulf in being an ex EPL side vs an ex L1 side will be a tough one to cover. Heart says 2-1 win, head says 3-1 loss.

Solanke aint that good? I agree he's not scored as many 1st team goals as he'd like but he's played over 60 PL games and represented England at every level up, playing 76 times for his country over the levels scoring 36 times including 19 in 33 at U20-21 level. He's a decent player alright...

Don't disagree. And you're as equally as successful at the level you're working at, relatively speaking. But to say - as a pure example, that Mark Robins is as good a manager as Jurgen Klopp would be nonsense. Equally great at their respective levels but if one's doing it at a higher level...

By virtue of Wigan wearing their away kit in 2013 😁

First team to score 5 goals away from home in the EPL.

I don't think we were the first leaders of the PL. I think Norwich were as they wont their first game by 2 goals. Others, including us only won by 1 goal i think. Unless I've got the wrong season.

Not bothered mate. Point stands. If you disagree, no biggy.

Really? Taking out the non-league stuff surely makes it more comparable, no? If manager A has a 40% win ratio with mainly Prem/Champ games versus a manager who has a 40% win ratio with mainly L1/L2 games, who is the better manager?

Take out the periods in the conference (so it's more comparable) and it's about the same, if not in Robins favour.

The bell?

Cov and Chelsea let me down at the weekend. It's funny...Cov have let me down SOOOOO many times and I've always been told 'never bet on your own team' and then they let me down again. But given the past couple of seasons and the fact that it's, well, Cov, I've always got to put them down on one...

Pretty sure you shouldn't be on your phone in the dugout Mark.

We'll smash it in the 2nd half, like the QPR game!

Blackburn 3 up away at Derby after just 15 mins.

Congrats mate. Hardest, but 100%, the best job ever. Enjoy every minute. Hope mum and baby are well.

Brilliant news to end the week. The guy is an incredible asset. At very worst, this will help push his value up when we eventually sell him to a European giant in a couple of years.

Is that the game next Friday? I thought it was 7.45pm because of Sky.

Yeah, have to agree. Thought his movement for his goal was great. Real strikers instinct to feign going to the near post then pulling back to the near post in acres of space. Top marks.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Many colleagues who looked after exhibition type business in the hospitality world, now gone. It's proper tragic stuff.
