Superb performance tonight.  Hard to single any player really. Everyone has been brilliant.  Tanner and Roberts great. Williams brilliant off the ball.  McCrorie much improved.  Knight probably motm for me but can’t argue with any nomination 

Knight probably the busiest, back where he belongs. Blackburn amazingly bad, Hyam probably a career low. Hats off to us for being ruthless.

We really should be putting Knight-Lebel on. 

On

We will miss the Southampton references, but alas, we must move on!

Ruthless from City against a shambles.

Farcical now

I don't think the City players who are tenaciously pressing would appreciate the description!

Them much more so, in the main, don't seem to realise they are in the shit.

Yay

Poor from Knight, lethargic half this.

Ahhh the memories of a Saturday afternoon. 

"Good afternoon grapple fans and welcome to the Wolverhampton Civic. First up is Cat weasel versus Kendo Nagasaki, two falls, two submissions or a knock out"

Many moobs on show each week, 

Keeper got his near post angles right that time.

Add a zero if Bournemouth.

Fair play to those Blackburn fans . That’s a hell of a journey for a night match . 

Still something to play for.

I do frequent Boswell’s sometimes for lunch. But I only do takeaway. I don’t like to sit inside with the other mutants.

I have taken KITR to the Vintage Birdcage in Charfield, which he enjoyed. But he did seem very twitchy and out of his comfort zone. You see, as he’s a resident of Long Ashton, he seemed like he was half expecting someone in the cafe to be shouting obscenities, drinking cider so cloudy you couldn’t see the brewers foreskin in there, and for a disturbance to occur between a group of teen moms. So the next time he visited he preferred to stay in my house for a cuppa instead. 

Cider is not made by brewing, so a rogue brewer's foreskin would be contamination from elsewhere.

Rangers got the Round of 16 in the Europa League last year losing out to an odd goal to Benfica.

You reckon QPR would have done the same?

See other posts about players. Nothing more to say from me. Not sure why you somewhat randomly pluck QPR to make your case but there you go. All hypothetical in any case. All opinions of one sort or another.

Why is Cantwell there then and not on top money in a top 6 Champ club?

+ talking of their comparable level as is, not the advantages if in an English league. Nothing more to say, their players are largely not in demand as things stand.

Players of Todd Cantwells level are top Championship level. I think Rangers and Celtic would be competing for promotion in the Champ. If they got to the PL with the extra money and better players they would easily stay in the PL.

The other teams ive seen in the SPL would struggle in the Championship.

Will BTR return to pay his respects? Been away a while.

If any league is going to remove VAR, my money's on the SPL. It's been an absolute disaster up there and is universally hated by clubs, players and fans.

Celtic / Rangers would be mid-low Prem in their current state, and would have the financial power to improve and compete.

To suggest recent Europa League finalists would be mid-low Champ is pretty disingenuous.

If they were that good their players would be in high demand in many top leagues, but largely they are not. Many English cast offs make the trip up there and stay, and old uns topping up the pension pot.

Because they usually skip the championship?

Celtic for instance have sold Jota for big money to Saudi, Starfelt to La Liga, Juranovic and Frimpong to Germany and Ajer, Edouard and Christie to PL clubs.

It’s always a tough and non-exact comparison to use though - for instance Celtic have sent a player that can’t get in their team in Mikey Johnston and he’s got 7 in 13 for West Brom!

Both would be top end of the Championship, although like most clubs would struggle to compete with EPL parachute payments. 

Really not that many, and what of all the English who go and stay?

Will hopefully never know.

Sunderland boy, went the day we played them. RIP.
