    This same twitter account claims Adam Armstrong is joining Bradford on a perm. Now, what is it the kids say again? Hashtag lolz?

    Rumours of "Big News" Coming Today.....

    Every team needs a Michael Doyle.

    Mowbray

    Regardless of your opinion about his tenure here, he can't be blamed for Blackburn. That is at Owen Coyle's door, along with their SISU-esque shambles of an ownership. I think most BB fans want him to stay based on their forums.

    Rumour: Hoffman and Elliot takeover negotiations

    Whilst I agree with your sentiment, it's 3 years of transfer fees - year 4 and we're home free. And the cut from promotions is a price worth paying imho - they come with their own windfalls anyway*. *This has been posted purely to help towards the 100 page count. Are we almost at the Portsmouth...

    Gary Hoffman on the phone in....

    A lot has been said before about SISU not wanting to crystalise their losses. I assume that if they sell, this would happen. Which is why I expect SISU still in charge this time next year.

    Sunderland forum (again)

    Trouble with Sunderland is that they've turned into a retirement home for has-beens or never-weres. Brown, O'Shea, Januzaj, Rodwell, Borini as examples. The fans have nothing left to cheer except other peoples misery. Despite how shit we've been for the last 15 years, I'd rather support us than...

    George Thomas

    Imho he'll be here next season. Yes, he's come on in the last few weeks, but he was no world beater for the first 6 months of the season. Just happened to find a rich vein of form at the right time. Why are we so eager to mentally sell every player with an ounce of promise? Regardless of your...

    Lionel Turnbull doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

    If (no, really, I do mean if - not gonna jinx it) we win, then Robins will have almost doubled our league wins for the season in a handful of games.

    Robins

    Don't disagree. But iirc he has a 37% win percentage overall, which isn't a figure that stands out until you look at how average or poor the clubs he's managed have, traditionally, been.

    Robins

    Agreed. He seemed, on paper, to be the right choice. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    Robins

    If you look at his managerial stats on wikipedia, he looks, first spell with us apart, pretty damn average. But look behind the stats at the clubs he's managed, and none have been expected to compete at the top of their respective leagues. Win percentages don't tell the whole story. He's done...

    Ratings from today

    I thought Lameiras was excellent. His positional sense was generally top notch, he harried with the best of them, when he had no energy left and was running like a rag doll he somehow found an extra ounce of adrenaline to get there. He never gave up. I'd take that performance from him every day...

    George Thomas MOTM. Can't disagree, although there are a few that could have won it.
