    We had to. We also had that big sales income, which clubs get only infrequently. After the first play off season we had to either buy a squad or continue with the continual churn of loanees. As for who's praised our recruitment; it's generally praised in television commentaries, in established...

    Most people remember Speedie's chip at Norwich (if they followed the club at the time), but this one was a beauty, too. Couple of other things about game that make it memorable for me; it was the first time I saw us win away from home, and Forest started with Currie and Rice up front for them.

    Six Team Play-Offs are coming

    Don't agree that this is an 'Americanisation'. That would be doing away with promotion / relegation altogether, not widening its scope. I don't think it will be an improvement, though. The POs work as they are. Sixth feels like a decent enough achievement over a season to warrant it; eighth...

    We're hardly spending wild amounts on players, and a significant portion of the spend on our current squad came when we'd just received £30m+ from player sales. Our recruitment has been universally praised as extremely good. Let's not pretend that it isn't.

    Gordon Bennett. We're second in the league. Let's not pretend our recruitment is shit because we're not in form.

    Us, I can't see past Houchen's header. Sorry, boring choice, but there it is. Other team; there are loads, but this one is up there: ETA: FIFA are obviously amoral, money grubbing cunts willing to spread 'em for every autocrat they meet, and it seems the tight twats won't allow videos to be...

    Preston will have finished 8th.

    To disallow goals of this type is anti-football, and a fundamental lack of understanding of what the offside law is there for.

    Sorry, I just couldn't resist.

    I think it lessens the game of football as a whole. It just shifts the area of contention, and removes the spontaneity from the game. That spontaneity is a big part of what makes football by far the best sport on the planet.

    Also not getting them. A lot of instances this season of giving the ball away really cheaply by looking for a free kick when there's no free kick there. Tbh, I just think it shows a general lack of nous in the team.

    Neither Wright nor especially EMC have great decision making generally.

    Think Simms has had a good season, and has been unlucky with how he's been managed.

    Says it all that they included Simms v. Leicester. It bounced off him!
