If you'll forgive me, Marshy, for rephrasing the question in such a way that it might actually get asked; Is he confident that the club has struck the right balance between necessary corporate (and personal) confidentiality and keeping the fans informed as to what's going on, particularly with...

The biggest shame is what might have been. Lots of ifs, but if he'd been happy with how things were off the pitch, who knows how well we'd have done on the pitch with him in charge, longer term? For me, given the shambles of last summer, the injuries, the loss of Bridcutt, Crofts, Ulloa for a...

This is the 'cake or death' decision, ain't it? If he has final say on players, but no input into which players are presented to him for assent in the first place, what's the bloody point of final say?

The reason the drum was unobtrusive was because the Derby fans were singing, which drowned it out. Thumping a drum in the midst of an apathetic crowd gives you the sound of... a drum. Thumping it when 20,000 of the 30,000 are already yelling themselves hoarse, you've got atmosphere. Not for me -...

If he learns to cross a ball consistently, he's got a shout of playing top-flight football - he's certainly got the pace and the beating of a full back. But that's a big if.

Covering his face is one thing, but how do you propose to disguise Spanish Dave's comedy legs? The long walk from the centre circle would be a dead giveaway...

Actively looking forward to it. Defeat would be a disappointment, but nothing more. This time last season was like waiting for root canal work or something. Horrible.

1. Nope - assumed Reading would do what they needed, regardless of what we did. Disaster? Don't think so - we thought we'd blown it so many times that it's proved a pleasant surprise to get in, I think. 2. When fans go sufficiently nuts that they look like boiling soup, you know how good...

Since I'd cheerfully play for the Albion for nothing, no amount of money on offer from that lot would make me choose Man U ahead of Brighton. It'd be nice to have the talent to be considered for either, though - my career was cut tragically short by being absolutely terrible at football. :down:

It seems that the club are now going to ballot season ticket holders to hear the voice of what they call the 'silent majority'. Why the hell do that now? If they'd done that in the first place, and the results had gone as they maintain they would, they could have gone to the FA with a mandate...

My strongest memory of that day is the Wigan 'keeper, running to take his place in the North goal before kick off, pointing at one end of the North Stand, and describing the length of it with his outstretched arm, nodding in appreciation at how packed it was from one end to the other. Odd that...

Is that the site of the old Den?

Just engaging with this rumour of yours for the sake of argument, BG. Charlton are vulnerable to sales at the moment - they've already lost Stephens to us and Kermogent to Bournemouth, a sale the Greenwich News Shopper said yesterday would be 'crazy' if it happened. So where are they suddenly...

Possibly. Or Bruno's off...

Signed.

Celta's website says something like: The Real Club Celta and striker David Rodriguez have agreed today to part company. The striker from Talavera, who contributed to the team's promotion to the First Division two seasons ago with a high degree of commitment and dedication, will be remembered by...

It's that 'mientras' which has caused my doubt - if you said 'while the other bloke goes to Brighton' in English, it could be interpreted as a distinction from the first deal.

My Spanish is a very, very long way from being perfect but, it says something like: Celta finalised the departures in the transfer window of winger Carlos Bellvis and forward David Rodriguez. Both players did not train today with their teammates at A Madroa. Barring any twists, Bellvis will...

Maths is not really my thing, but that would mean an attendance of 6,400,000,000,000 if I've worked that out correctly. Not sure that's going to happen even at £15 a head.

Feels like a real fin de siecle moment, this. Guaranteed a thunderous welcome on any return. Can understand why he's left on an intellectual level, but viscerally it's harder to accept. Good luck, Adam. City have got themselves an asset there.
