This is why loans are so important, especially if the parent club contibutes a significant percentage of wages. Means more perm signings on better wages, which theoretically means better players.

If you squint a bit, it looks like a giant vagina.

Back in the day, the 'big' players dropped down the leagues. They needed to because the cash wasn't in the game. But nowadays they don't need the money, so the only way they come is for the love of playing. And how many ex-Prem 'stars' play in L1? Alan Smith is probably the only one of note, and...

I like Le Coq. Oooh matron.

That's what I mean - depends if he's happy to pick up a wage and sit on a bench, or would prefer to play. At this stage of his career I would expect him to chase the cash, but you do still see 'big' names dropping down the leagues (albeit far rarer these days than when I was a kid) when they...

I'd fancy Grant Holt tbh. Looks like Wigan have given his the green light to go on a free, and he'd be a handful at this level. Depends if he's motivated to play because he wants to play, or just earn cash I suppose.

Probably Paul Williams' winner at Spurs on the final day for me. I was actually at Villa Park with an ex, watching the best centre back display I've ever seen coming from some obscure Southampton player called Ulrich Van Gobbel. He was truly amazing, which I guess is proven by the fact that I...

It was the back page of the Mirror (or maybe the Express) at the time. I often talk about it to people when discussing centre backs, America or beards.

Never in doubt was it? :whistle:

2-1!! get in!

Come on!!!! Get the fuck in!!!

Shit, shit, shit shit shit. Shit.

The report suggest McIndoe was trying to get people to throw matches. Makes you wonder if he did it himself when with us. Now that​ makes me angry.

As much as I like Carl Baker, that is OTT. I think getting rid of him showed how poor the decision makers were in their due diligence of players, as he was the most passionate player at the club. Whether you thought he was good or poor is besides the point, he was sacked off by Pressley because...

But Pressley did his due diligence on all of these players. How can they have fragilities? :whistle:

If we go down, who should shoulder the bulk of the blame out of the following people? Waggott, for his role in picking the manager and signing players. Pressley, for his management of the team, his tactics and the players he signed. Mowbray, for his management of the team, his tactics, and the...

That's 0.03 less than Heskey. He may be derided in some quarters, the fact that he was picked by a succession of England managers, and was highly regarded by almost every strike partner, shows that goals are not always the be-all and end-all. And the legends that are Peter Ndlovu and David...

Sign him up!

To be fair, if SP had stayed then there is a significant chance those posters would have been proved right. There was no sign of positivity on the field, so how could we expect the fans muster it up off it?

The mental fragility will beat us here. Can only see us conceding.
