    48 hours remain

    We're going to have a list of potential signings but at this end of the transfer window, with the season already underway, everyone knowing we've had a lot of income, the team we're signing from knowing they also need to replace the player they've lost, then teams will be trying to pull our...

    48 hours remain

    Agree with the sentiment. We have no idea if we'll ever see this amount of cash again so it needs spending wisely. That said, if it's not spent now, I suspect it will be held back until next summer rather than January, unless we're really pushing for top 6. January is always hard to recruit in...

    Expect another delay

    They have lost some revenue through this though. Mine at least. I coach at a club with 70 players from all over the world, and when I was going back to the UK I had several requests for shirts and training gear from players who like to collect random kit. The import costs since Brexit are...

    One would hope not. But if they do....sorry Fadz!

    Transfer Rumour Palmer to Norwich

    Someone with more time than me will work it out, but my guess would be around 10%. Something like 5 full 90s in 55ish games. 46 league games, 3 playoff games, 4 league games this season and a few cup games.

    Transfer Rumour Palmer to Norwich

    He was Kasey 'Almost' Palmer on Saturday. That was almost a great pass. That was almost a great goal. That was almost a good corner. He almost lasted 90 minutes. Had a lot of freedom on Saturday and a lot of the ball, in reality created very little for our strikers. One over-hit throughball to...

    Player ratings v Sunderland

    Reminded me of early Sheaf on Saturday. Did so many good things that will have gone unnoticed, or at least, quickly forgotten, whereas the 2 or 3 misplaced passes stick in the memory. Thought he broke up play superbly and he seems to have deliberately worked on releasing and moving the ball on...

    We don't create enough

    I was disappointed in MVE yesterday from an attacking perspective. Had numerous chances to drive at his man and I don’t think he tried to beat their fullback once, preferring a cross or moving the ball back inside. We were far too slow to get the ball in the box from all areas of the pitch...

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Think Robins made a bit of an error when he made his public comments about Simms needing to work harder, think it was after one of the pre-season friendlies. Will have already swayed opinion amongst some fans.

    Can we have a real time location button that sends a DM to Saddlebrains when we need some ‘help’?

    Where does MR sit?

    Just behind Kenny Jackett for me.

    So no one this week then - let’s all batter Saddlebrains

    She split up with me after I jokingly bought her some novelty penis shaped cookie cutters for them.

    So no one this week then - let’s all batter Saddlebrains

    I dated a girl, a long time ago, who did a lot of horse riding and she genuinely had weirdly flat genitals. Like she'd been using a rolling pin on them for years.

    Robins dilemma

    Fanbase is just not used to having a squad with genuine options in it. With the odd exception, our starting XI has picked itself for years. Having competition for places and different options for different teams can only be a good thing.

    Robins dilemma

    If you cry enough before you go to sleep, you might find you don't need to pee 3 times during the night :)

    In a 2 litre glass so they could fit the name on it? :)

    Robins dilemma

    I think a lot of it depends on the expectations that were set with them when they signed. If Robins has told them they are being bought with the intention to develop them and make them even better, that they are young and aren't going to start every week, but if they work hard and improve they...

    I'd heard of that, it's called 'Czech Mates' if we're talking about the same one? It's all British ingredients I think but they 'borrowed' Budvar's double decoction method - they use an old traditional method of splitting their mash and boiling it over a long period of time, something like 6...

    Staropramen is owned by Molson Coors now and changed hands a few times over the last 20 years. Bass bought it originally and then it was with InBev for a bit too. It’s almost solely focused on export now. Another one we palm off on you guys and no one drinks here anymore, like Kozel (which...
