    Marcus Browne

    Decent finish but slightly underwhelmed given the hype it had received. There may have been 50 scouts there last night but were they all there to watch Browne? Can't get excited by talks of more possible loans. If he comes, great. If he doesn't meh ... especially if he or his reps are holding...

    Name this player..........

    Major thing I remember about Bryan King was him giving away a free-kick for carrying the ball outside his penalty area while kicking the ball out of his hands. Star Soccer had a field day with the "instant replay".

    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    Anyone else remember the lovable Geordies singing "Who Ate all the Sheep's Eyes?" at Hadji and Chippo?

    Phil Neal actually but the point stands

    Kevin Foley

    The key difference is Mowbray wanted a Championship defender who he could pressure into signing for a league one club on L1 wages. Surprisingly enough they all opted to go to Championship clubs (even to sit on the bench at Rotherham). Slade seems to have done, what some of us were demanding in...

    Paul Telfer

    Telfer was an under-rated player for us. Firmly believe we wouldn't have lost at Vile that day if he hadn't had his leg broken when we were 2-0 up (although we would still have gone down). Gallacher was sheer class but not under-rated; everyone knew he kept us up single-handedly when Don Howe...

    11 million pound signing

    Good luck to Harris I really hope he makes it, with us or via a transfer fee to a new club. However top football people like.....? were you trying to damn the lad with faint praise?

    January Fire Sales

    Have you read "My Father and Other Working Class Footballer Heroes" by Gary Imlach? Stuart Imlach was a Scottish international winger who had a good career in the days when top-flight players caught the bus to the game with the fans. Anyway Stuart was at City, Jimmy Hill sold him to Palace...

    January Fire Sales

    Yep, but the "So long and thanks for all the fish" one of last January was very unsubtle.

    What a fab picture of one of our former players

    Really? I thought it was a really sad spectacle to see tbh. Was miles off the pace (in a testimonial) and I was hardly surprised when Glenda left him out of the WC'98 squad abt 10 days later.

    January Fire Sales

    Ok Fred, and the January 2015 YouTube shopwindow video made by his family of his highlights didn't suggest that he was looking to leave at all?

    More breaking news?

    Wilder turned us down? When was this? I think you may have got it the wrong way round. In fact he hawked himself to us when Robin's left and he was manager of Oxford before leaving them for Northampton. After doing well there he got the Sheffield Utd job but I don't think he was ever linked to...

    Just a pointless memory

    Remember when Pressley's decision to watch games from the stands was one of the most controversial things we had to worry about?

    The runners and riders

    David Flitcroft. Bury fans wouldn't believe it. Slade or if possible Jackett for me.

    CWR post Cambridge phone in ....

    Well that alone ought to disbar his candidature. The last thing we should look for in a manager is being popular with the players. They need shaking up - the shitstorm of our ownership is letting quite a few of them off the hook.

    Who would take relegation ?

    But what on earth makes you think that this would be the trigger to SiSU going? All logic dictates they should have tired of it by now. The fact that they are still here suggests to me that they'd still be here if we were in the Conference.

    I've no idea. Neither do you
