Agreed. Codner could sometimes be a bit of a stroller when he didn't fancy it, but there was no doubting his quality. He absolutely DESTROYED Millwall in the Playoffs, and could certainly teach Lallana a thing or two about finishing.
Harsh on CMS. Yes his goalscoring return was a massive disappointment, given that he was banging them in for fun in L1 at Peterborough. I don't think there was anyone who wasn't excited when he arrived, but he just could not make the step-up to Championship level. Probably missed his mate George...
Robbie Savage
Came down in his white Lambo, stole a living for a few weeks when we were really on our uppers, STUNK the place out, f*cked off.
What the hell DK was thinking bringing that peroxide bleach-toothed washed up muppet to Withdean I'll never know.
At one point Trippier could be seen shouting towards the technical area: "Eddie can you tell me where Mitoma's gone ? He's a Japanese boy..."

I know its Man Utd, but surely the unholy maelstrom of chaos and negativity surrounding that shambles of a club would give ANY player second thoughts about joining them right now. Moises is a young man, 20 years old, who is embarking on his PL career in the PERFECT environment for him. He's...

Unusually I was sick in the night and got cramps in my legs. Wouldn't be surprised if I got a touch of sunstroke yesterday, standing in that queue with the sun beating down on me for 40-odd minutes. I felt bloody exhausted when I got home.
The smoke certainly hangs around for a while. I'm not a massive fan either, but then I am an old fart. We ARE in the entertainment business, and I expect the younglings enjoyed it.
I absolutely love him. The fact that this kid is putting in this type of performance, having been (not just) in the EPL for 5 minutes, but in Europe for a little over a year, is mindblowing. He's 20!
Its already quite obvious this young man is going to be an absolute star. Athleticism...
