    New COO - Paul Tyrrel

    Wish he'd wash his hair, though.

    New signings aren't replacing anyone. They're giving us options and, certainly in Onyeka's case (we hope), qualities we previously lacked.

    Which was a rhetorical question. Because he was watching.

    They haven't required a compete rebuild. Middlesbrough were an established Championship team when we faced them in the playoffs. We were newbies sprinkled with a little stardust strapped together with loanees, and were emerging from years of mismanagement. We're on an equal footing now, but we...

    There was considerably more space on the terrace for this one.

    That's ignoring the fact that our starting point was very low. Our first play off team consisted of Gus, Vik, loanees, players that had come up with us from League 1 and a handful of others,. Gus and Vik were sold, the loanees went back to whence they came, many remaining were squad players...

    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...

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