Me too - wading through the mud to get there. Happy (if wet) memories of winning 3-0 in a quagmire (around 1995ish?) Minton and McDougald taking full advantage of a swamp down at away supporters end - punting the ball forward, McDougald outsprinting their full back to reach the sunken ball, to...

My son played football, rugby and cricket in sports glasses for five years until this year, when he switched to contacts (he's 11). No issues at all. His optician should have a range to have a look at - just make sure all the facial contacts are rubberized.

I can't disagree with much that Attila says - but where this falls flat for me is that if you know you're the newbie, on the back foot, you have to come up with a strategy that counters it. If you want two players, go heavy early - secure one player with a knockout offer and go on a massive...

I agree - but it might not look so clever when all agents and players got wind of it and started asking for this as part of contract renegotiations. Seems to me that we've learnt the hard way that the transfer techniques that worked well in the Championship (bringing in unknowns from the...

In Hemed we blindly trust

This all sounds a bit croque, monsieur

You know what, you're absolutely right Gullsworth, but there's a whole raft of clubs whose fans will be kicking off the Prem season thinking "is this our last year?" Bournemouth, Burnley, Palace, Swansea, Watford - even Leicester, not to mention the other sides that went up. There's nothing...

Ed, I never met you, but will miss you on here terribly. I have so much respect for what you achieved for the club and everyone who cares for it and the gentle way you did it. My deepest condolences to Roz and your family. And thanks - thanks for being such a great man in your own way. RIP Col

Plus with their best players all on loans....

Congrats!

Every manager Barnes has played for has rated him. Plymouth were gutted to lose him, he was an ever-present for us, and he's now played 92 games for Burnley. That's good enough for me! Skalak was superb in his first spell, once he got match-fit. Something went wrong for him at the World Cup...

Edited - fixtures

Burnley haven't done too badly...

Presume they didn't replace the ball with a new one at 54 overs? Wouldn't it be a patched up one used for a 50-over game or similar?

We did really well to get up last season - it's going to be a bloodbath this year! Now we just need to stay out of it next year......

Looks like the umpires were conferring on the catch (or else the umpires' dressing room is in the opposite side to the players!)

Whatever you think about him (and I'm not saying I disagree), he was actually Mayor of London 2009 - May 2016, and not "part of an administration which depleted numbers" at all. He's been Foreign Secretary since July 2016. Statistically crime fell significantly in London during his tenure...

We've just had the results of our annual staff survey through. Apparently, as leaders of the business, we need to spend more time "reimagining the possible". Needless to say, I've decided to cancel my next three client meetings to free up some serious reimagining time......

Makes a mockery of the excuse given for the iron-on bit (that it captured the correct shade of white for the Amex logo!)

Absolutely cracking news - and thanks to Dale for his attitude and loyalty. He's been a credit to the club this year - we all knew he wanted PL football (last Summer if he could have had anything to do with it), but he showed everyone how a true professional handles these situations.
