Firstly, I think the owner of the Board and the mods do a magnificent job 98% of the time. And I've always been happy to highlight the 2% on the board or by PM :blush:
I think it's not an easy job and they do it very well. However, it's always been the case that there are accounts set up to...
I suspect that we are actually turning out more players who become professional footballers than we ever have. Top half Premier league players, not so much, but have we ever had a time with four home local lads playing in the top half of the premier (Dunk, Solly, Webster and Hinshelwood), let...
