    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    I think Allessani could play up top tbh. He's got the raw talent to do it. The issue is, it may take him time to adapt, as per Biamou last season. I suspect that's our plan B if things go tits up with getting another striker in.

    Stokes - Confirmed to Bury

    And better than £2m Eoin Jess too.

    Stokes - Confirmed to Bury

    He was on loan to us from Huddersfield, where he'd been banished to the reserves. IIRC, he had to choose between us and Wolves in the division below, and he chose them. Edit: I seem to recall there was a televised game for us where he ran the show, which alerted Wolves to his talent. Another...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    Reading the other rumours on that page, 1 out of about 20 was right. I'd say that tells its own story.

    Didn't realise Devon KE had gone to Nuneaton. Thought he might have gone to a lower L2 team tbh. He wasn't the greatest last season, but he performed better than some I saw play against us.

    French Trialist Striker - Florian Ankoue

    Was apparently dubbed 'the new Adebayor' a couple of years ago. Interesting comparison.

    Sunderland poll

    Right, Plymouth need 100 votes by the second half. Can we do it?

    Sunderland poll

    We should vote for each team above them, one at a time, until Sunderland are bottom.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I hate almost everything about modern day football, from the demise of the sliding tackle to the players and agents who worship at the altar of money. The sooner it all implodes and the game gets back to its roots the better.

    Bids for McNulty / McNulty to Reading

    I think they would. We'd be back where they found us, and on a better financial footing than when they took over. Sure, we have the whole Ricoh issue hanging over us, but that aside the club would be in a relatively positive position. And it only takes one fluke of a season to reach the promised...

    Incoming !!! Dujon Sterling

    The club has openly said we're going for promotion. The hashtag is #risetogether. We're really going for it, and not many clubs advertise the fact - maybe these players are excited at the idea of a club that shouts its ambition?

    Ryan Haynes has been sold

    We just got 9009 season tickets for Maddison's sell-on.

    Becoming a Sky Blue

    Was a Liverpool supporter as a little kid, but only because I loved the Crown Paints kit and the sweatband someone gave me for my birthday a year or two before. Then I decided to support whichever team won the FA Cup final... Luckily, as a local lad, the right team won.

    Maddison

    Tbf, Wilson was Bournemouth's joint top last season, despite coming back from a terrible injury.

    Nardiello up top.

    Wacky Football Attire

    To think we signed him instead of Craig Burley.

    I remember Le Boeuf spitting on the shirt. Made my blood boil.
