Read plenty that says he'd get a pay rise if he goes to Fulham. Doesn't make sense but seems they would pay him more. I guess our wage structure is rigorously applied.

I can see why you feel hard done by, but I'd be thinking about the ridiculous decision to review the first wicket that threw away your opportunity to challenge the Taylor decision. A game so close that it went past the back up process for deciding the winner into the back up for the back up is...

You are seriously seeing this through a very particular lens. Can't see a single comment on here to suggest he is anything other than loved and appreciated. However, a lot of evidence suggests that if we are to kick on, we need better.

He is one of those handful of players who cane it in the Championship but just can't cut it in the Prem. I think we've seen enough to know this: running at defenders and beating them with pace and fast feet in the Championship, running at defenders until he inevitably loses the ball in the...

Totally this. People ask me if I've given up drinking. I say no - I could have a beer tomorrow. I just don't need or want one. It's been a complete mind shift. I'm still a bit amazed by it. Out with a client last night for drinks and food, and I just stuck with tap water. Still had a great...

Interesting thread - and some good thinking. It makes me think that we really did under-perform last year, in the sense that we got less than the sum of he parts from some very talented players. If Potter gets it half right, we could see a 20% improvement without adding any more new players to...

Jay Rodriguez to Burnley, Match made in heaven. But £10m for a bang average player.... this market is insane.

That is fantastic news. Delighted for him and for us.

I heard he ran his contract down to force Ashley's hand and was only offered a one year contract so told then where to shove it.

Bloody hell. Where did the years between 21 Up and 63 Up go?? As a 53 year old I can't help but be engaged by this programme. It has effectively documented our lives. One thing that strikes me beyond the individual stories is how much things have changed since when we were kids. I know it's...

Interesting to see so many people suggesting that we'll decide if he goes. In reality these days, the power is with the player, contract or not. If Dunk or Duffy decide they want to go, they will get to go. We'll probably get a substantial, but unwanted, premium, but they'll go nevertheless.

I much prefer the idea of greeting Warner and Smith with absolute silence. These egos feed of the attention, so starve them of it. No boos. No abuse. Just nothing. Beneath contempt. #Silence4Steve

What a gentle man. I'll miss him. Does anyone know if the press conference after was recorded anywhere? Apparently he received a standing ovation from the press.

Had the great pleasure of chatting with a Pompey fan and his fugly son at Marylebone Station on the day of the cup semi final. He saw my scarf and took it as an opportunity to tell me what a big club they are and how shit we are and how we have no history and how we bought our way into the Prem...

Heard persistent rumours from Spurs fans in the last couple of weeks that Toby Alderweireld is likely to be off and that they are targeting Dunk as the replacement. Whether this is true or not, he is likely to be coveted by other Prem sides. And as for Duffy. Reports of him being on the town...

Not really. It's just that every post seems to be unconstructive or designed to extract a reaction. Sometimes I'm less tolerant than I should be. Apols.

That's what you took out of the post? This comment is why you are such an infuriating contributor. You're not stupid but you can be a dick.

Having had time to reflect, three things occur to me: - Based on the form since Boxing Day, the way the team were responding to Chris and the evident disquiet in the camp, keeping Chris was a bigger risk than replacing him. - Most Albion fans feel that releasing CH could have felt less like a...

Binged "Wet Hot American Summer Camp: first day of camp" this week. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/wet_hot_american_summer/s01 Very funny if you like Airplane type comedy. This series is a prequel to the movie made in 2001 using many of the same actors. Now playing younger versions of...

Stopped Jan 1 and haven't touched a drop. Going to a mates (third) wedding on Sat and considering having a glass of fizzy for the toasts, but don't think he'll mind if I don't. Still not proving to be difficult but I have barely dropped any weight. I'm finding myself eating biscuits, crisps and...
