I heard people singing KLL's name when MotM was announced, and I can see why. He was heavily involved, looked threatening throughou, and his delivery for the equaliser was excellent. Was also pleased to see him exhorting the support to make more noise in the second half. But Man of the Match...

It's not a machismo thing for me - I'm just comfortable at much lower temperatures than most of my mates. But the thermostat battle is all one sided - if I'm feeling a bit chilly in the house, I can put extra layers on and not bother or affect anybody else. But if the entire house is too warm, I...

The Beeb have lately addressed this very thing: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-24107609 My missus resists as long as she can because of the money, but that ain't very long so it's still on way, way before I'd switch it on. Then, during winter, I have to come home through a treacle-thick...

Reading at Elm Park in 1985. A wide-eyed 14-year-old, I watched terrified as it kicked off all over the town, inside the ground, at the station, bloody everywhere. A 2-1 defeat in which Trevor Senior handled the ball in controlling it to score the winner, last few minutes. Police opened the...

My only memory of him is him pinching a point for us in the last minute in a game at Oldham we'd played the bulk of with 10 men. He made about ten times as many sub appearances as starts, though - perhaps he'd have developed better with more opportunity.

Some bizarre inclusions - the Allianz is on there but Selhurst and Withdean* are not? And I quite like the Den - easy to get to, well policed, decent atmosphere, good views. Can't argue with Kenilworth Road, though - comfortably the worst ground for an away fan I've ever visited, and an absolute...

He's looked a decent player when i've seen him - if the brain's quick and you can see a pass it's not necessarily a deal-breaker to lack pace. Murray's hardly lightning is he, but he seems to find the net regularly enough. (*spit*) I'm surprised he's been left out, but I suppose Holloway has to...

Reading. Plastic and constantly taking players from us. Also never forgotten Pardew's comments after we beat them to the League One title. Can't see us beating them at their place, regrettably.

I've also been to Hibs v. Rangers, a dreadful goalless draw in April 2001. Decent atmosphere, rubbish game.

Probably right, but not necessarily a bad thing. How many of us knew who Ulloa was before Albion got involved with him?

The worst thing about it is its utterly depressing inevitability. We've got to the point where even a club as wealthy and well-supported as Spurs is utterly powerless to keep a player they value because Real Madrid can use Marca to tap him up at no risk to themselves, throw money they don't have...

They lost twice all last season in the league, Stat Brother, scoring 115 goals in the process. They opened this campaign with a 7-0 home win, 6-0 up at half time. It's hardly worth bothering with them unless you're using them only to bump up an accumulator – 8/1 is not uncommon for their oppos...

I seem to remember Christian Baz working the 'keeper with a bicycle kick volley from the edge of the box in a pre-season friendly. Thought we'd signed a technician of the first order, but I don't think either he or Battipiedi got used to the English game at all.

I remember thinking when we signed Iain Baird that it was the signing of a desperate club that was going down. As it happened, he ended up being an important player for us that season. With all due respect to him and his teammates from that side, it shows how far we've come, looking at the...

Very sorry to hear this, if true. Did a week's work experience at his office back in '88, coinciding with us getting promoted out of what's now League One under Barry Lloyd. A terrific experience; he put up with me trailing around after him to the County Ground, Southern Sound's studios etc. An...

Decent player but why are we signing a defensive midfielder when we have no experienced left back available? Paving the way for Bridcutt's departure?

Gone for 1. I'd agree with the (constructive, in my view) criticism - for me, the others are not really club-specific enough. At least not overtly. Will be contributing, though - regardless of personal views on the designs, good work, people.

I liked that shirt too, gripper, but we got relegated in it and went 13-ish games without a win at one point, I seem to remember. Frankly though, almost anything would be an improvement on the current monstrosity.

Stand still in this game, m'lud, and you're actually going backwards. Same squad minus one of the most important players, who's gone to a likely promotion challenger. No doubt OG will add further players; he needs to. We must improve on last season if we're to fulfil the club's ambition - making...

They regarded Bates and Williams as 'the Chelsea mafia'. A look at any of their chat rooms' responses to the staff changes there shows that they're anything but pessimistic. Look at the responses here. I realise many of them are the usual, over-the-top Leeds stuff, but it shows they're going to...
