    Viktor Moving on

    A Liverpool move makes little sense for him. He has significant main character energy and needs to be the focal point of a team’s attacking options. He won’t be that at Liverpool. Ever. At Arsenal he has the chance to be their missing number 9 and surrounded by star midfielders; at Manchester...

    I remember when we tried to make a virtue of local company made good, nothing to do with a lack of pulling power thing - Cassidy construction.

    Sheff U, Boro, Preston, away all in Midweek. soton away directly before Christmas and Charlton away on New Year’s Day are a pity. The only Saturday away game in London is QPR - and that is (I suspect) also the weekend of round 4 of the FAC and will odds on be moved to midweek.

    Kit WC Round 2 75-78 v 86/87

    That’s actually vicious. *The* two all time kits meeting so early in the knockouts. I voted for the egg timer as the cup final season kit had two issues 1) the blue was much darker than it looks on this representation. Always felt like it wasn’t really ours 2) the white shorts, abandoned in...

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    This game where we conceded this goal? Photo from @MusicDating. There is virtually no chance that Cardiff don’t score from this dead ball given how few of our players were contesting them. Spoiler alert: they did!!

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    I think his trajectory is clear. He will score goals in a good team but won’t make the difference to whether a side is promoted or not. Tbf he did score a really good goal for West Brom against us but it was wrongly chalked off for offside.

    Transfer Rumour Lewis Travis

    Started as a FLW exclusive. Apparently the site (Football League World) is partly run by someone here but I don’t think it’s ever been correct.

    2bh worst case scenario is you get relegated with a vastly superior side and go back up anyway Doing a Leicester?

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Basically cheating but gambling on 1) gaining more points by having better players than were taken away by the league in penalties 2) being able to pay any fine with future profits from staying in the premier league.

    Top Moments in the Footballing Wilderness

    Massively disagree. Hyam’s turnaround from that performance (where I couldn’t see a future for him in professional football) to two good performances for the suspended Tom Davies at Notts County and Wembley - and becoming the cornerstone of the championship defence before a move to Blackburn (...

    Players who we signed but never played in the First Team (or played just one game). Go !

    I suspect this is someone’s fever dream (or they’ve seen a picture of Oggy playing at Wembley for the football league and Maradona playing for the World XI and jumped to the wrong conclusion. If he had ever been involved in game with the remotest of connections to us - people my age would have...
