@malcolm Yes I’ve just seen that he’s the bookies’ odds-on favourite for Celtic. Chris Wilder was second on the list....
@powmillnaemore German managers are in vogue at the moment (Klopp, Tuchel, Nagelsmann) but I couldn't think of one who wasn't already at a bigger cl...
Eddie Howe would do nicely for me. Or if you want someone a bit more left-field and in the mould of a former successful player, Giovanni van Bronkho...
@ken It's a good one, Ken. If pre-Premier League players are allowed, I can think of: Graeme Souness (Liverpool) Craig Johnstone (Liverpool...
Great posts Werder and good to have your thoughts. I do share many of your concerns particularly around the playing style and longevity of the curre...
@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob, and for all your openers and informed posts throughout the season. A solid, consistent goalkeeper is an absolute mus...
@jarkko With Derby playing Sheff Wed (what a game), I think Wycombe would have to beat us by at least fourteen goals to stay up, Jarkko.
@plato I’m not saying that we should sign Diedhiou, just that basing your signings on their stats at other clubs isn’t the best way to go about it. ...
Agree on the Bristol City striker’s record not being particularly good. A couple of points to put into the mix though.... Firstly, as we’ve seen f...
I think the main problem for Liverpool this season has simply been the astonishing number of injuries they’ve suffered at centre back. Even the midfie...
A bit like the Rotherham game, not an absolutely convincing performance but goals and a win and better football overall. Steps in the right direction ...
@powmillnaemore Thanks mate! Honoured to be recognised among the real greats of the blog who have been honoured in previous poems.
@original-fat-bob Thanks Bob. I’ll drop you an email.
Thanks Bob. Much appreciated and hope I didn't keep you up all night by not taking this one on.
@original-fat-bob I don’t think I’ll get a chance tomorrow I’m afraid Bob.
Possibly one for you, Ken.... Below is a list of clubs in order of average finishing position since 1880. 1 Arsenal 2 Liverpool 3 Everton 4...
@jarkko Yes, I forgot about Wing. I agree that there a Championship player in there, though not sure it’s one Warnock particularly wants.
@deleriad I guess that just proves the point that it’s very much up for debate!
@k-p-in-spain The amount of recruitment is still up for debate in my view. A new keeper is a definite and replacement for some leavers if they do no...
@lenmasterman Quite possibly, Len, and certainly a factor in my view. Although it's harsh on Hall, the idea of McNair-Fry-Howson as a ball-playing...
An enjoyable game overall last night, certainly by contrast with much of the last four months. It was ironic that on the night that Britt and Fletch...
Boro pressing and passing. Nice to see.
As the proposed European Super League is a closed shop with no promotion or relegation, it only makes sense to those proposing it to draw a line in th...
My worry and suspicion on the dressing room “clique” is that it contains more than just those who are due to leave us. Warnock’s comments suggest as m...
@powmillnaemore Oh don't get me wrong, if it goes ahead then those clubs have to be expelled. But that would be a lose-lose situation.
@powmillnaemore I certainly hope they do NOT leave, though I am happy for them to face sanctions (10pts and a season-long transfer ban seems a nice ...
I’m far from calling for Warnock’s head but I do agree that it might be best for everyone if we have a fresh start in the summer. That, however, is en...
@jarkko I can’t comment on Jack Charlton but of the others, only Bruce Rioch could succeed with the current squad and circumstances. Robson and McCl...
