I seem to remember it not being particularly popular, though I don't think he was 'hated' initially. People hoped he'd do well and if he'd come in to replace someone who was failing badly he'd have been given time but Black was popular and we were playing some nice attacking football that was...

Can I also say I had to think long and hard about whether to open this thread, as it wouldn't have surprised me in the least for it to have been literal.

So if someone does some fair play does it cancel out a yellow? Otherwise it's absolutely pointless (well, it's pointless even if it does)

I was wondering what the capacity might be but thought maybe the entire lower section of the stand might just about do it. Time for someone to do a dot counting mission!

They've been managing a while but age-wise are similar age to those. Eddie Howe - though has been well backed in relation to others in respective leagues. Graham Potter - but is having a hard time at Chelsea right now and how he deals with that will make or break him. I'd also add Sean Dyche...

No. I'll admit Lampard can talk a good game but that doesn't mean he's any good at actually managing players to get want he wants across. Rooney I think had a bit of a free pass with Derby given their situation, but I think overall he's pretty average. I also don't think Gerrard will be a top...

Just had a mad idea. People are saying that we want the loud fans behind the goal. Others are saying that the rowdy fans want to be near the away fans. Could we put away fans in smaller section of seats underneath the boxes? Our fans could then go behind the goal but still be relatively...

Chemical Bros *yes, I know the song's called Galvanise

Indeed. It's not about wanting them to fail, it's saying that just because you were a great player doesn't mean you'll be any good as a manger. Lots of top managers weren't top class players, and that arguably helps them because it means they have to understand the game better if they want to...

Anyone who thinks it's Gyokeres' must be on Weeeeeeeeed

I think it'd be given a red light.

Squad limits. It's the only way to stop the stockpiling. And I don't mean caveated limits like U21's don't count or if a player came through the academy. A straight up limit of 40 players on professional contracts at any club. If you're at that limit you have to sell or de-register a player...

We could try and look on the positive side and say a new recruitment team might make better use of the funds we're currently wasting on the likes of Hilssner and Dacosta etc. It's one to feel both excited and scared at the prospect as it could go either way. This transfer window I'd have been...

This was my response too. I felt pretty sure that the top 10% of earners earn something like 60-70% of the money so what this story actually says is: Rich people don't pay their fair share.

@Nick It appears your services are required.

Imagine if he'd won the leadership instead of Boris... Yes, he's still a Tory and the ideology that goes with that but at least he seems to have a brain and some common sense. Though saying that the Tory nutters would have got rid of him so quick it'd make Truss look like a multi-term PM

I thinks it's needs must. Imagine this squad if it didn't have the four loanees available. Of course we'd prefer long term signings but if the right players aren't available right now why bring people in on longer contracts? It's going to leave us with a monumental rebuild job in the summer...

The measures have been put in place for a reason. The club isn't going to make seats unavailable and lose revenue for the sake of it. Of course you can argue subjectively about whether the measures are overly draconian, but the fact is measures are in place because fans misbehaved. A big part...

I think it's a dig about how some were saying paying a £400k fee for him was a trivial amount, and wages of £18k a week for six months is about the same amount.

Considering in the past you've made veiled comments about why I dislike Priti Patel and Suella Braverman I don't think you're one to talk.
