He was a tidy player - not spectacular but did his best considering the vast majority of the time Moyes nearly always used him as a utility man out of his favoured position.  He would've been ideal playing on the right side of a 3 man midfield. He certainly had the mobility and quick feet to do that...

Under the thick claret and blue paint? What about to sticky shit on the floors? Is the Queens still there, that had proper claret and blue decoration. The sticky carpet to end all sticky carpets...at least I think that's what was under all the shit I always enjoyed all the faded Shoot! posters with...

A shithole is generally a place which has no redeeming features whatsoever. Some of the best vegetarian curries in London are in the vicinity of our old ground plus the spectacular all singing all dancing refurbishment of The Boleyn. I think a fair few of us suspected something special was hiding un...

Sport Witness West Ham, Fulham and Everton in contact for 21-year-old gem – €20m+ required West Ham, Fulham and Everton are the latest Premier League clubs following Palmeiras midfielder Allan Elias. Spanish journalist Eduardo Burgos, from AS, reports that all three have already made enquiries abou...

Chelsea and Spurs are looking at Jonathan David who signed on a free for Juventus. Apparently they aren't too convinced by him but it's a bit unfair considering the way they are run is similar to the he Man Utd shit show of recent years.

Another one who we were linked to for ages bites the dust 

Couple of murmurs saying Sullivan might can Brady. Is this the last act of a desperate man? The final and ultimate bus throwing? He's nowhere to go after that if he goes through with it. He will be fully exposed. Can't see that ever happening. She'll simply release the (#MeToo) details on how they ...

Also Felipe Anderson was a huge disappointment - maybe not the worst but another overpriced, badly scouted misfit with very little presence on the pitch - totally unsuitable for the Prem  To think he was probably signed to more or less play the role Alan Dev used to do back in the day! Unbelievable ...

Sheffield FC (red and blacks)  v Hallam FC (blues) is the oldest derby as obviously they are also oldest clubs in the world 1857 & 1860  Sheffield Wednesday (1867) and Sheffield United (1889) came much later because the original clubs wished to remain amateurs playing to the original rules they ...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣   I want to give the benefit of doubt to the club here.  Surely they're not THAT thick to think this was ever a good thing to do and it's made up bollocks.     It's like watching an episode of Colombo and thinking the person at the end isn't the same one who caved somebody's skul...

I could be wrong but none of them strike me as the kind to have ever played Football. Might sound trivial but when they preach to all and sundry on the Club website and the like it strikes me as very odd to take their expertise in the game seriously. If they are making a living out of it fair play ...

I hope he can follow up with a good performance against Burnley, this fanbase is crying out for someone to get behind who has a bit about them. We have Bowen but much as he's a great player, he's not a captain and isn't vocal enough. Potts looks like he has more about his personality for the role o...

Who needs analytics or databases when you consistently pull such gems from the bottom of the agents spreadsheet. The NERDS gave him a big thumbs up.  I'm not convinced by their calculations, considering they bigged up Hermansen also. 'Strong, intelligent and and deceptively skillful' | Niclas Füllk...

He never was or is 1 of the best Strikers in the world. Not even close. A total myth that some got suckered in to believing when he arrived for big dough. His numbers aint even that good for a start, mainly doing it bobbling about in 2 Bunderdliga divisions.  Coupled with his awful medical history ...

Then he will be sold just like Declan was. We never build a team we unearth a diamond and sell it for a fast buck as we always have.   IF Potts goes on to prove he is the real deal, I think it most unlikely that he will be sold for a fast buck. Other than in the late 1990s and early 00s, due mainly...

Word is that Toney has been hoist by his own petard: almost nobody can afford his full wages in January, because too many sides are up against PSR and don't want to risk breaching it on a loan deal. He's going to have to take a massive pay cut, or his team is going to have to subsidise his wages - ...

We can't as the other £25M wasteful signing Guilherme continues to struggle making an impression. If it carries on I'd want him sold next summer. 2 seasons of much of the same already with little end product then I'm out.  I bear no ill feeling towards Guilherme at all. I hope he reaches some level...

He had a knack of creating and scoring a load in the Championship but lacked similar consistency for Leed in the Premier League as he does now for us in the top division.  Who would you drop him for mate? We can't as the other £25M wasteful signing Guilherme continues to struggle making an impressi...

I'm not a fan of Kilman - at all. But credit where it is due, he was much better against Newcastle. Still made a ricket with their goal - pressing far too high up the pitch and got marooned about 20 yards behind play when Murphy scored. Left the defence hopelessly exposed. But, other than that one ...

Most completed passes in our team, easier for him when he has targets rather than trying to conjure something out of the ordinary to statues. Second most duals win, but normally has the most. Scored.  Our top scorer and second highest rated player this season on stats sites just marginally behind B...

The man didn't need to run - he would simply glide.

A truly sublime player - amazing to think somebody as good as him was playing non-league football.

No more pointless tactical shenanigans.

Clear instructions gets you clear results.

Everybody in their right position doing what they are good at and keeping the lines tight 

It's ain't hard. It's still going to be a tough season but hopefully the lesson has been learnt.
