1. His priority was not to get injured and jeopardise his chances at his new club. 2. The whole team did play badly. Partly because the star kid had left and come back on half arsed terms 3. Mowbray was always liable to tinker with team selection but Maddison as a loan had a massive effect...

Or the Manchester Arena bombing

Loaning him back was clearly a mistake as it highlighted his priority was not to get injured (see also Magnus Hedman in 2002) and his presence in the squad seemed counterproductive (took up one of the loan places) for both his team-mates and some fans who were upset that he was off. Since then...

Like Wasps? No thanks

White shorts? Never again please

Just off the top of my head. WTF are any of the following? Dion Dublin? Peter Ndlovu? Paul Williams? Garry Thompson? Danny Thomas? Callum Wilson? Dave Bennett? Lloyd McGrath? Hardly the most inclusive of items from the City that gave the world 2-Tone is it? EDIT: Stupidly wrote Wallace...

8/12. Standard mid table finish

His Dad has spent most of the past 24 hours on Twitter telling Cov fans there’s no truth in the rumour of his return.

Remember when he absolutely tore Sheff Utd apart in a televised game only to be dropped for the next game? On the Nii Lamptey podcast Kieran Crowley let it slip the reason for this mystifying exclusion. After the game at Bramhall Lane there was a break for international and then Mowbray simply...

McNulty in league 2. His work rate was phenomenal and when he found his goal scoring touch he was unstoppable.

Parklife!

I would be amazed - but quite impressed - if Swansea went for someone other than Chris Coleman.

How far do you think he can hoy the ball?

I haven’t drink alcohol since 1983. No real reason, not a recovering alcoholic, not religious just don’t do it. I tend not to tell people as they often think I’m moe interesting than I really am (see above) or that I’m judging them. In fact if you don’t tell people you’ll often find that folks...

But he was the first James Bond

Hardly the Slovakian accent I was expecting. He’s also not met the manager yet.

There are three crosses from us into the six yard area that he doesn’t come for in that highlights reel. Two lead to goals. In contrast Burge comes for and clears their one cross into the same area - which is then returned into the mix and they score. Forgotten what the point was now!

all depends on the player though. Norwich bought Maddison from us and loaned him back for the rest of the season. IMO Maddison never seemed committed to us from that point and merely used up a loan space in a squad which was insufficiently “ours” anyway. Team selection was made more awkward...

And the best manager of the four was the one with the loosest of SkyBlue connections - Michael O’Neill played a handful of games usually being subbed before the hour mark.
