    Cov V Blackburn 95/96 season

    Phil Neal told me that once Lee Hurst came back we would have a fantastic midfield, with him and Julian bossing it. Shame it never happened. Hurst was such a prospect.

    Optimism

    In the long run, SISU might have done the right thing in making the club self-sustaining. Yes, they've cocked up a thousand things along the way, but as and when the financial bubble of football bursts, we'll be one of the few clubs that don't implode. I'm optimistic that things are changing for...

    SBT Virtual Bookies

    My alerts have disappeared on mobile - I'm guessing it's linked to this change? Now I have to switch to desktop view to see them.

    League 1 Promotion odds 18/19

    The fact that so many in the club - Robins, Fisher, several players - have said we're going to go for promotion surely says that we really are going to be giving it a proper go. Whether we reach those heights or not is another thing, but it marks a real change in attitude within the club. It's...

    new shirt sponsor

    No idea. Haven't heard it for about 20 years tbh. It was always that and coldseal windows (22 22 34, come again, 22 22 34).

    So where does Robins rank amongst managers?

    Interestingly, he's the 40th longest serving manager out of the 92. He's only been back for 1 year and 88 days. Shows the madness of football.

    Bayliss market value

    I've just read through Agent Sam's twitter, and it's fair to say he's been incredibly, and in our case depressingly, accurate with most of his twats.

    So where does Robins rank amongst managers?

    Imho, it won't be until he's long gone that we can realistically judge his achievements. That said, I like the cut of his jib, and as things stand, he's top of the list for the best manager since 87 - in fact, he has two trophies under his belt with us, which must make him one of our most...

    Trying not to get carried away but...

    He's got another season in him, I'm positive of that. But I reckon we should get in an understudy now so he can teach him the dark arts.

    The Guardian teams of the year

    A newspaper should present facts. That doesn't happen nowadays. There's always a spin on a story, whether it's from the right or left of the political spectrum. I treat the Guardian the same way that I treat the Mail; a bit of comic relief, with a mixture of propoganda and distorted truths...

    What a club

    I guess it's about being competitive. We've had fun this season winning games and fighting hard. How often have we had that in the past 20 years? If we got to the Premiership (is it still called that?) then it would be back to losing every other week. Can't blame people for wanting to see...

    Goalscorers

    If that goal was scored in the World Cup, the pundits would be purring over it for ages. It was a goal top class strikers would be proud of.

    Hyam

    He's been consistent all season, which is remarkable given how he comes in and out of the team. Has the attributes to be a solid centre-back for years to come.

    Liverpool keeper

    You have to feel sorry for the guy. Nerves got the better of him.
