    Transfer Rumour Yang Min-hyeok

    For all you budding songwriters, unless I'm mistaken Frank said in his press conference that this player's nickname is "Mini" (or Minnie?).

    Why apologise? I reckon you are genuine, you've shared what you felt able to share, and it's appreciated. I for one wouldn't want you to be pressured into blabbing anything that wouldn't be in CCFC's interests.

    His insistence on preferring to join Arsenal always seemed a bit strange to me - maybe he'll adjust to the way they play, but it's so far removed from his natural strengths as a player that it seems a tall order.

    Are you sure they didn't say they were from Hackney?

    Terry Yorath - RIP

    To describe him as a "former midfielder" is completely inadequate. Terry was a very good player, but his qualities as a captain were absolutely exceptional - you could feel his leadership even from the stands. He was at the hub of perhaps the most entertaining team in our history. RIP Terry...

    "He will now be available as a free agent in what is expected to herald a stampede of interest from clubs in the UK and overseas."

    It's a really bad decision, the worst of the ones that people have been complaining about recently IMHO.

    Yeah I agree. But on lots of past occasions when we've got away with it, people on here have kidded themselves that "the opposition posed little threat", "we restricted them to very few opportunities", "we comfortably controlled them" etc. And if it hadn't been for a couple of outstanding...

    Scores of 5 for EMC today are crazy. Are people expecting prime Ryan Giggs? Always seen by the opposition as a big threat, so he's subjected to constant physical battles. There's so much quality and strength in his play that seems to go unappreciated here. The way he took that long ball down...

    Dabo

    He's put out quite a humble and sincere statement there*, in stark contrast to some of the weasel words you get from a lot of modern players. It's never nice to see anyone forced out of the profession through injury, and I hope he finds happiness in whatever comes next. * hopefully it's not...

    Brau

    Nothing we've seen so far from Brau has shown him to be more than an interesting punt in the foreign market. He definitely hasn't yet looked like a reliable defender, and the complete misjudgement against Charlton reinforces that. Equally, he's shown a few hints of potential with the ball, and...

    Boxing Day Matches - The Memories.

    Best match I've ever seen was the 4-3 against Spurs in 1986. But I've just looked it up and it would appear we were away at QPR on the Boxing Day, and Spurs at home the next day on 27th. Hard to believe we played on consecutive days?! So I expect this one's going to be chalked off by bloody VAR.

    In this case, it looked to me like their shot might have been on target if it hadn't been deflected by Lati's hand / arm, which might have provided a reason to give a pen. He'll get rapped over the knuckles for failing to enforce the FA's anti-Cov bias that we keep hearing about on here.

    Ref watch

    If refs are told (correctly IMO) to allow accidental contact with the hand or arm when it's naturally at a player's side, it begs the question why so many defenders ludicrously cross their arms behind their backs.

    Shockingly poor half of football from both sides.
