Brilliant for us. Him, Pack & the last year of Wade Elliott’s excellent career was a ridiculous central midfield combination for League One. Obviously just a great bloke, that Man U goal (his only one at AG) guarantees his name in our history.

Especially as he appears to be out of contract, whereas Brannagan isn’t.

Walsh has an inability to get on the pitch… Good golfer though.

Oxford have been outstanding. Murphy of course but Rodrigues, Brannigan, Dale & especially Goodrham all very good. Totally deserved lead.

Well, you’re the poster who said “ever”?

Bolton will probably be two up by then..

Yep drawing with Man U, then beating Leeds & Liverpool to stay up in the top flight by coming back from 2-0 down at Coventry never ever happened, did it? Winning 6-0 away at Bradford to clinch promotion then 8-2 on the last day, didn’t either. Beating Man U in the cup presumably doesn’t qualify as a crunch game, either? The Under 18s lost on penalties for ****’s sake, where’s your perspective?

Oxford. Just turned the TV on & saw that gashead Collins, which clinched the deal.

Can add Korey Smith to that list, released by Derby today.

Think the Arsenal coach will get it. By the way it’s Rosenior, both he & his Dad played for us, so you’d think you could spell his surname correctly.

Bit of a flurry of retained lists in the last day or so, some might have missed the following three; Liam Walsh at Swansea after managing 10 starts in 3 injury hit seasons. Robbie Cundy at Barnsley after a season when he was injured throughout. Greg Cunningham, obnoxious **** who was at Preston.

Come back with that quote in 3 years & see who is nearer to the Prem, eh?

They’ll certainly start as the strong favourites. Obviously all three coming back down will have a massive financial advantage as well but only arguably Sheff U are comparable in terms of size & they have been a shambles this season. Just to add Sky’s commentary last night said Southampton had the third highest budget this season, Leicester had the biggest, Leeds second. We probably knew this, but what a farce it really is, not exactly a competitive, level playing field.

Just makes you realise what a remarkable job Ipswich did. The other 3 (Leicester already up with their astonishing wage bill) were all in the Prem last season & have a ridiculous financial advantage over everyone else. They said in commentary Corberan hasn’t paid a single fee for a player at West Brom, Southampton had players on the bench tonight who cost 8 figure sums.

Nope Bristolian gashead who played for them & spent his entire commentary against us being incredibly disrespectful.

Real dilemma Martin & Sunak or that tosser Andy Johnson. All academic, a parachute payment final surprise, surprise.

Lovely tribute, RIP.

So are you saying that the Larne owner pushed the boat out in order to sign Levi Ives?

Quality reply. Done it myself (been completely wrong) chapeau for admitting it..

It wasn’t. We wore red in the 4-2 win. They were at the Mem by the time we were wearing this. Remember a 1-1 draw in their relegation season when Phillips saved a last minute penalty.

Montrose aren’t going to be in the Scottish Prem any time soon, as they aren’t even in the Championship. Joining either of the Old Firm is definitely a step up, like joining Ajax would be, even though the overall standard of the league is inferior.

It was on the official site, always a good place to find out information..

He was.

First bit is the most interesting to me. Owers said last week in a couple of podcasts he would like us to sign a wide player, wonder if he’d heard something? Not sure where that leaves us regarding the formation as we haven’t really played with wingers, maybe this is as much to give us the option to do so?

This is some statement. The previous season only ended 9 days ago, we are one of very few Championship teams who have even announced who they are keeping on. Most clubs haven’t said this & we don’t know the entire composition of next season’s division yet. No one has the slightest idea who we’ll sign, who will leave or how much money we’ll spend, yet you think “we’ll do well” to finish in a spot below where we did this season. I have no idea how anyone can possibly think that they know this.
