    Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo

    This sounds like a reverse version of a MainStandNoel “looking Stephen Hughes in the eyes” moment?

    Nobody booed him. They booed the decision to take off Leon Mackenzie rather than Kevin Kyle. The “you don’t know what you’re doing” chants were directed at Mickey Adams. Andrews took the ball beat his man and scored the winner in the last minute and Adams came to the crowd at the end of the...

    Premier League - closed shop?

    Simultaneously agree with above statements about the gap growing but also that we *might* have survived last season. It’s less than 3 seasons since all the promoted clubs, Fulham, Bournemouth and Forest all survived and have gone on to become mainstays of the prem.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    That bid won’t succeed. It’ll be £8-10m as a minimum I would have thought.

    Jamie Paterson to finally join legends Tommy Hutchison and Kevin Gallacher in at least one category for a large number of Cov fans.

    Pato

    Ofc not. I wasn’t trying to suggest they were. I was pointing to the similarity in context - out of contract players who had not been playing competitive football but were apparently available in a crisis.

    Pato

    Would have been a brilliant signing at any time during his career with Walsall, Forest or Swansea. He turned us down for Swansea but then we declined the chance to sign him after he fell out with Russell Martin. Given that we seemed to court Matty James in September I’m not against it in...

    £10k fine from Sheff U game

    Just three people from sports that might be more worthy of hatred than Chris Wilder. I doubt he’s in my top three most disliked Sheff U managers tbh.

    £10k fine from Sheff U game

    Suggests you’ve never heard of Marlon King, Don King, or John Gre666ry.

    Reasons to be cheerful

    Our £5k was double because we pleaded not guilty, Sheff United’s £100k (it was their 5 charge in 2 years) was reduced because they admitted the offence.

    Would Jonjo Shelvey be worth a punt?

    Literally this applies to both BTA and Bassette.

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    The cap by Belgium was a curio… Doomed manager’s last game…. dead rubber vs Isreal in a neutral country… u21s with important game at the same time so promote one of the yoof subs to senior squad to cover injuries and suspension without weakening u21 chance of qualification… Belgium losing to...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    We had this for 5+ years w Robins (and before that with Presley). People claimed he was surely about to walk as Sisu wouldn’t put their hands in their pockets/ kept selling the family silver/ wouldn’t give Carl Baker a new contract….

    More xG Stuff

    Anyone see Arsenal - Man United in the cup? Xg was something like 3- 0.5 to Arsenal. No surprise that they didn’t win as not taking the good opportunities they create is one of their chief characteristics. At what point do we see XG as a symptom of our deficiencies rather than evidence that it...

    Danns from Liverpool

    Because we really need a teenage striker coming here on the understanding that they’re a guaranteed starter if fit? I won’t hold my breath

    What Happened Last Season?

    A-E, H and I can all be simultaneously true.

    What Happened Last Season?

    I believe part of the surprise/misunderstanding is that the Viveash interview was so rich that The CT was able to spread it over 2/3 days in the run up to the FA Cup semi final. The first (iirc) talked about the working relationship btw Robins and Viveash, player development etc, the second was...
