He is probably set up for life with the money he has earned, probably around £10m while at Leicester. I doubt at age 30 his main driver is money.

I think Jasper Moon is more our level. Born in Coventry as well.

It's never easy to follow where the money from transfers goes, but to my recollection when we have sold a player for a significant amount we have always seen some back for new players (recently anyway)

You seem to be a knowledgeable person about the rules of the game, what do you make of this definition of serious foul play. "Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers...

Studs were showing on both boots, that could have been a career ending injury

LOL, their player takes Grimmer out.

Maybe, but in the interests of fairness and balance don't forget to mention that their goal in the first leg came from a tackle on Grimmer where their player was sliding across the pitch Kastaneer style and was out of control, hence shouldn't that have resulted in a free kick to us? Their second...

A goalkeeper like the one who plays for Liverpool

If someone could amalgamate Max's compilation videos with Kastaneer's we would like we have a world beating team.

Really well written piece. The very best footballers tend to have brilliant spacial awareness, and it's said that they can see in their mind's eye the pitch and everyone on it as if they are looking down on it. O'Hare possesses this attribute as highlighted in the analysis. That skill can't be...

Good luck Baka, didn't work out here, but go and get those 20 goals next season

So if we had lost that game we would have needed 2 more points to finish above Derby on goal difference or 3 to be certain. Do you think it unlikely we would have got 3 points from the remaining games? Our season average PPG suggest otherwise, and that includes the psychological impact on losing...

That's more than half the games, Huddersfield & Bristol City 18 points ?? They could be in trouble next season if they don't massively improve their squads. Huddersfield only won 3 times.

Why do you say we could easily have been relegated if we had not beaten Rotherham? We were on 42 points before that game, as it turned out 44 was enough. We took 10 points after the Rotherham game (including a 6-1 win) Sorry, I just can't see the logic in that statement.

Yes, it's like scoring the winning goal in the 95th minute, people say the losing team were unlucky but the game lasts until the final whistle.

Out of interest how many games have you seen this season?

Reading through this thread earlier, some of the predictions with 9 games to go were so way out. One or two predicting around 4 points. We actually took 16 points from those 9 games. It just shows, apart from the entertainment value, how difficult it is to guestimate how games will turn out. In...

They were 2-0 up at Swansea with 10 min. to go a few weeks ago. Easy to say, I know but those 2 dropped points could have made the difference.

Hamer's form dipped when stopped getting booked every week for unnecessary fouls. Not sure if that is the cause or the effect.

Derby need to win now to be sure of staying up, a draw would have been enough if Rotherham had lost
