No, I get where you're coming from, I'm just arguing the points "for"!

It's not silly though. We were the only 2 teams from the West Mids in the Prem for the whole time we were in it - that's the same county! It's not as if they were a million miles away. And read my earlier post about what Villa fans said and what they actually did. It's true that a lot of them...

Maybe, but people used to say it about villa too. I just don't get the point in trying to belittle a rivalry that a lot of fans enjoy. Football is about rivalrys and anything that makes the atmosphere better at the ricoh is a good thing in my book!

These are just friendlys though. I don't read into them ever. They're non-competetive games and we still picked up a few injuries in ours. It is a bit worrying that Leicester did well against Real but the season starts next week, not last week.

Why does anybody find any rivalry embarrassing? I don't get it. A bit of rivalry adds a bit of atmosphere to a game and people are "embarrassed" about the fact we say we have a rivalry with them. Villa may have said they didn't care about us but when it got to that game they hated us. I know...

So line up is: Murphy Christie Keogh Cranie Hussey Bigirimina Clingan Baker McSheffrey Eastwood Jutkiewicz Bit surprised that Bell's not starting as I'd expect this to be pretty much the starting line up next week.

We like re-signing these ex-youth team players don't we! Any link to the info?

Unfortunately, it just seems one more of those things now that I can't actually see materialising. Heard bits of the interview this morning - KD's put his head on the line a bit by stating Sammy will only go for a ridiculous offer... unless he's talking about a can of baked beans and bottle of...

I thought they didn't care about us?!

I don't think that was crosses. KW was good at claiming the ball. His one thing was when a defender was shadowing a ball back he was sometimes a bit indecisive but that's really picking holes!

It's probably one of the youngsters being given a squad number?

Oh dear Rich, surely lecturing on the spelling of "it" and "it's" and then dropping a faux pas by putting "your" instead of "you're" is something that cannot be not pointed out! Tut tut!

It was by me - but I'd still like to see that smiley!

There should be a smiley looking a little anxious sucking in air for that sort of comment!

If it was the player who turned us down it's kind of going against what he's been quoted as saying in that story. Not saying he didn't turn us down by the way, just seems stupid for him to have done that if he "just wants to play"!

I was pretty much going to write that word for word :claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

Without a doubt. But clubs won't spend anywhere near that much to get him and in the end the only team losing out will be Rotherham. They've priced him out the market really and we know more than any other team, if a player wants to leave and let his contract run down that's exactly what he'll do.

Long got 21 goals last season and Juke got 9 and although we know Juke has potential players that have a proven track record are always going to reach a higher price than those with potential. Although I think that price is well over the top!

West Ham are speculating on getting back to the prem though and they already had a solid base to start off with. Now, if they don't go up this season then they're in BIG trouble. It doesn't make any bids look silly though, I don't really care what other clubs do in the transfer market.

I know, but what I meant was it doesn't matter if that fee had been for a player in the prem, championship or league 1, we still wouldn't be persuing an interest. For a league 2 club to ask for that much for a player who isn't proven at this level, only has a year left on his contract and who I...
