    King nominated for Player of the Month

    Remember how any time our manager would win the monthly award it'd pretty much guarantee our downfall? Maybe King missing out is a prelude to him signing that contract. If so I hope we never win any of these awards ever again.

    the quirke situation

    If you were to ditch all youth players who you didn't know for sure would be great, who'd you be left with? Who would anyone be left with? The idea that Michael Quirke should be thrown by the wayside as a young goalkeeper is bewildering. Campos was good enough to gain over 100 international...

    no westwood today?!?

    I don't doubt he's leaving, but I've heard theories on him not playing going from Thorn spitefully leaving him out if he didn't sign the contract to Westwood pretending to be hurt. Both theories insulting to either Thorn, Westwood or both.

    no westwood today?!?

    He's also out of the Ireland squad now, so hopefully that puts paid to the speculation of his exclusion on Saturday being anything but a legitimate injury.

    Jorge Campos was 5'6".

    the quirke situation

    I'll remind you of this when he's demanding £800000 per week or he'll leave our Champions League push and sign for Real Madrid.

    the quirke situation

    We haven't given him a new deal yet, which is the main thing. Youth players often get their deals in pre-season.

    should we have appointed Andy Thorn?

    I think in the world of football management, commitment and foolishness can go hand in hand. When you look at the average tenure of a manager this seems refreshingly sensible to me.

    should we have appointed Andy Thorn?

    If you don't hire good people with the fear that they'll fail, I don't really see the alternative.

    Osama go bye bye :)

    When Osama died, the US president would get a boost. If he were dead years ago, that would mean a Republican cabinet has stepped aside and allowed a Democrat president to now get the kudos. That would be the most unlikely scenario of all for me.

    Westy, King and Gunnar

    The only thing worse than someone claiming to have sources is to then weakly threaten to withdraw the information when rightly questioned about them.

    Conor Thomas

    In much the same way as most football fans don't understand finance.

    Westwood to Villa and Brad Freidel to us?

    He could easily go for a few more years in the MLS if he felt homesick. Look at Kasey Keller.

    Westy, King and Gunnar

    Between someone giving us a scoop from an unnamed source and CCFCBen telling us 'Hi I'm on the board', we've really got some insiders here haven't we? Yours, Steve Harrison.

    Conor Thomas

    The deal would be worth £1.5m is the story, not that Thomas would have been bought for £1.5m. It's whatever his fee is plus the exorbitant agent fee.

    Injury dilemma

    If someone's likely to be in the squad soon, that's news enough. If there's no end in sight like for the four years Isaac Osbourne's been out, there seems little point as there's no new information. The specifics of the injury are similar, unless some fans are physiotherapy students.

    Injury dilemma

    Why would it be 'acceptable' if we were given injury details we don't understand and have no benefit knowing, as well as return estimates (because that's all they can ever be) that inevitably end up wrong, causing the same people demanding the information to then complain that it wasn't accurate?

    He's about five years younger than Marlon.
