@jarkko Thank you for a very well observed dissection of our last performance; we were terrible but at least it leaves us room for improvement. L...

@gt I'm with you. I think that we have been buying young quality. It may not all work out but it's not a bad strategy to follow. Incidentally, re...

@exmil The senior women's team is three points behind with a game in hand at the top of their division with 5 games to play. Their next game is at ...

I was wondering about Burgzorg and it occurred to me that if I was a tired defender, the very last person who I would want to see coming on for the la...

Sunderland are in that strange position of having nothing to play for until the play-offs. They can't catch the top two and are in no danger of being ...

How on earth is that possible. Stoke were awful. We were all over them and gave away a totally stupid goal. It makes you want to weep.

News...and I'll leave it to you to work out of it is good or bad. Lathe Lath had a fantastic start for Atlanta scoring twice in a 3-2 win in fron...

@exmil I would probably have suggested that we wait until the Stoke game and if we win then go ahead with the challenge. However, the general view s...

Some very astute comments from @Forever Dormo. I am actually in favour of retaining possession whenever possible but there has to be a recognition o...

I couldn't agree more although I am less concerned about the 'moneyball' direction. We have made a lot of money by selling Spence, Tavernier, Akpom, ...

@original-fat-bob I was trying to show that the number of points needed was not an enormous obstacle and there are now so many teams involved in th...

@martin-bellamy I would always pick a draw because then the aggregate gain for the two teams is only two points which has to be better than someone...

Thanks to everyone for the kind comments. I must admit that I was deliberately setting the bar high knowing that the top four clubs could well take ...

The defence did not play badly. There is a knee-jerk reaction to always blame the defence - the back four - when we concede goals and, on the face o...

@original-fat-bob I hope that your source is wrong but we do have a ready made replacement in Whittaker. UTB

@werdermouth Loan deals without an obligation to buy can be useful to fill a gap when we are not prepared to shell out the money for a permanent de...

it strikes me that we have two options in replacing Latte Lath. One is to stick with our longer term plan and go for an up and coming forward that we ...

@werdermouth You may well be right. I didn't know that these lists were available. Personally, I'd be surprised if we let him go on loan because w...

'saving' not 'sizing'

@werdermouth any sizing could be worthwhile if it helps us pay new people.

@werdermouth Apparently, he's on a very high salary

@paulinboro everyone at MFC is saying that these two are not linked. Long term, Whittaker is a replacement for Doak and Steve Gibson is covering th...

I agree that this year he might play in a three with Azaz and Doak but he would be the long term replacement for Doak at the end of this season.

@werdermouth We should probably view Whittaker as a long-term Doak replacement. He’s 24 and can only get better over the next couple of years. I re...

Quite a lot of action and I'm impressed by most of the steps being taken by the recruitment team JONES Hasn't really delivered since hi...

and sell Barlaser.

@pedro I think that I would prefer Kamara. utb
