    Jamie allen

    I get what you're saying, but the games he's played since he's been here: 22, 31, 37, 35, 30. Fitness and injuries have always been a problem and, I agree, we relied on his a bit more in the past. We have a lot more quality in depth in midfield now and he won't necessarily be "the first...

    Jamie allen

    It's not knee-jerk. Every season he misses more and more games. If he can get back to fitness then great, I would be as happy as anyone, but if not then the Club comes first. Are you happy with a player that misses over half the games every season through injury? If this was any player other...

    Jamie allen

    Mainly because he's played in less than half of our games this season due to injury and in the majority of those he was poor as he was coming back from injuries. Gets injured, comes back for a couple of games, injured again. Whether Lampard rates him or not isn't really the issue. The...

    Help for Sunderland lad

    No need to apologise. I wasn't offended or anything, just thought the thread title could be changed. Thanks for highlighting as I would have missed this otherwise.

    Help for Sunderland lad

    @Nick could you change the thread title to something more suitable "Sunderland lad" or something like that.

    Help for Sunderland lad

    Think the thread title needs changing as it doesn't matter who the poor lad supports. It's not about that.

    Rudoni injury

    I went a lot mid to late 70s, home and away. The only time I ever went to Eastville was for the Speedway, not football. Ole Olsen, Mitch Shirra, Gary Gugliemli, Alf Busk, Tommy Knudsen, Alan Molyneux...those were the days.

    Things that annoy you

    Not sure this is a genuine annoyance or not but here goes, having to acknowledge a driver for stopping for you when you use a zebra crossing. It is now the done thing to thank the driver for not mowing you down. On the flipside, when I'm driving and pedestrians thank me, I acknowledge them as...

    Match Thread Derby County - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Mar

    Anyone else who parked at the B&B hotel last Tuesday had a PCN come through despite using the app to pay for parking? Bastards. I've opened a case with YourParkingSpace.

    So who realistically are the teams left fighting for 5th and 6th

    International football is dull, dull, dull.

    Yeah, Wee. We were on the right hand side of the goal, pretty close to the front and I felt so sorry for him.

    Sell him. Not sure what other option we have. Club comes first. He's either injured or coming back from injury and getting up to fitness.

    Sakamoto

    Nah, it won't. You ought to have heard the abuse Haji was getting from those around me at Derby last Tuesday. He was poor but no need for the abuse. I'll never forget how a lot of fans were abusing Collins at Portsmouth. Some of the most shameful things I've heard from City fans directed at...

    Jamie allen

    He's been involved in 50% of our games this season. Really not good enough. Think it's best he moves on, for him and us. After all, he wanted to go last Summer anyway and I'm sure he would have gone this coming summer if he'd had a good season.

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Best result this. Wednesday too far behind and United top two. Would really want to avoid them if we did get in the play offs.
