Football would be a lot better if every club was run in the way Ashley ran Newcastle - i.e within its means and with no silly money. Sadly that ship has sailed, and the reality is that a small number of clubs have finance that places them on a different planet. The owners of Man City etc have...

Minor but pleasing edit....

why no kelly or Godden? Don't tell me Kelly is injured again.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on who hit the sumptuous pass to Vik for the 4th goal - most say Sheaf. But others say Godden had a hand in three goals and as he had no role in the third that I can see, it assumes it was him who hit the pass for the 4th. Hard to see on the pc screen...

To say the least, his personal negotiating position is quite strong right now. He would get a new job in a trice were he to leave. That negotiating position could be useful in January or more likely next summer, when it comes to acquisitions But before we get too excited - just look where...

My predictions are only very occaisionaly correct... So, I suspect we will lose to Luton and scrape a 1-1 draw with Fulham. We might be saved by the woeful Luton defence.

6 points off = 11 now, and that would place us notionally around 13th & 14th. Comparing the like for like games is the best way to look at it imho.

Reminds me of McGoldrick at his best. In the area an absolute bugger for the defenders to get the ball off, and always likely to get a shot away.

Contracts can always be bought out. It is the value that is important. I have long asumed that Robins is on a comparatively good wedge with bonuses on top. Otherwise why put up with the whole SISU / ground rubbish. The higher we go, the less applicable that is, though. These days you don't...

Personally I think that comparing like for like games, as has been done elsewhere, indicates we are on course for a half way in the table position, just in the upper half. A distinct and measurable advance and a successful season, as per Luton and Barnsley last year. And before you shout 'But...

IT was the Grauniad -

Liam Walsh’s free-kick was the pick of the goals in Swansea's draw last night according to the Grauniad

I reckon our goalkeeper will save a penalty when the score is still 0-0, our topscorer will then chip the goalie from way out. We will be thee up at half time and win 4-1....Well its happened before. PS that penalty save always made me a bit more sympathetic to Burge than most. Actually I'd...

Isn't that how all clubs should be run. Within their means with a small return to the investors?

It's a 7 Kastas tackle. The man himself was 10 at Pompey, this one a seven

To think that this time last year he could not get a game at Swansea, and he did not really impress in his first few games here. But clearly in training Robins saw the potential, and he has blossomed.

That means diddly squat if it doesn't produce players for the club. I 'd rather have a couple of good players than any seal ofapproval from the EFL. But they haven't produced any players have they

No player has come through the Youth Programme to be a regular first team pick since we were in League 2. December of that season, so it is pushing four years. So no we don't have a good record at all for regularly producing talent. And neither of the last two - Bayliss and Shipley - appear to...

Journo on Talksport watched Cardiff get off the team bus at Forest, and noticed how big the whole team was. Very intimidating. Also said that Giles was 'on fire' We are a small team in comparison - not sure if that is good or bad Cardiff won at Forest. To away wins on the bounce is relatively...
