Just build the side around Will Hughes.

You can see a 10-12 point improvement over last season and that will put them pretty close to top two.

A chap was out playing golf with friends one day and played a wild shot, deep into the woods. " You'll never find that ball " said his mates but he trotted off and came back with it in his hand. " That's amazing " they said..." How did you find it ?...." Simple " he replied, " This ball lets off...

One big difference...Ramprakash was a far better player than Compton. He was trying to establish himself in the England team against a battery of high class fast bowling, particularly from the West Indies. All around the world, at that time, the quality of bowling was higher than it has been...

Flirting with Fulham!.....he was in full blown talks with them, whilst Reading were sitting near the top of the Championship ( when we played them on Oct 31st, they were 2nd in the table ) Fulham were keen but Clarke overplayed his hand, demanding too much and insisting his whole backroom staff...

I agree. I think Spider got about 14 when Wardy broke the club record with 36. The total contribution of 50 goals was amazing and took all the burden away from other players. I believe that Hemed and Baldock is a pairing that works well for us but because Hemed isn't ultra-clinical and Baldock...

As Derby are also above us in next season's odds for promotion, one can only assume that the bookies are expecting something special.

That's the ' basket case Villa ' who are above us in the betting for next season, is it?

All regular goalscorers have one thing in common...good positional sense. They tend to be in the right place at the right time. They have an innate ability to second guess what is likely to happen and react to it. They can pull away from defenders and make that extra yard of space. They have...

The Carnival is Over ( The Seekers ) and Yesterday, when I was Young ( Charles Aznavour )

It had to be one of the longest ring approaches in history. Surprised Haye didn't do a complete lap of the auditorium. The booing summed up the fans feelings. One punch and the guy was wobbling all over the place. Pathetic, contrived mis-match which does the overrated Haye no favours at all.

The whole programme was a farce. Boxers only having to blow on their opponents and they go down. No wonder the crowd started booing in the Haye fight. The guy was obviously in there to take a dive but was too stupid to know when to go down and make it look realistic. Haye has been lucky to face...

Agreed. To go from complete shambles to one of the promotion favourites is a ridiculous call. None of the players have shown any desire to fight and Di Matteo has a massive job on his hands.

A lot of thought has gone into this! The three relegated sides + Derby, who finished 11 points behind us. Well, we will just have to go about our business again and prove them wrong. Just waiting to see if FourFourTwo magazine have us going down again.

As I am in the minority and can see through the contrived artificiality of a rivalry between a London club, which is closer to Reading, Luton, Southend and every single club in the Metropolis, than a club backing onto the sea, I shall be rooting for the underdog, as I usually do. I have no time...

I think Boro fans should just keep their heads down, enjoy promotion and then start planning who their next manager is going to be....coz, sure as hell, this guy ain't that strong and will walk fairly soon. For the second season running, Boro got twitchy in the run-in, failing to win any of...

You need to put your sensible hat on. McCormack is on north of £60k per week and would probably start at about £12m. Good player but well outside of our budget.

Don't worry, we all go through this...." if only this, if only that " .....mental mind wringing, in situations like this but whatever happens over the course of a whole season, when you have your chance, you have to take it. On Monday, we had to win by at least two goals. We came out like...

I don't know....thank goodness it ain't going to be the Riverside again!!

Don't worry about mental regrouping. Professional footballers are, by nature, pretty strong mentally. From an early age they have to compete with hundreds and thousands of their peer group, many as talented, some more so. Many have to cope with early rejection, for whatever reason, often size...
