As amply demonstrated against Wolves.

Me too. I have my daughter's graduation from Warwick Uni on the 16th! Starts at 12 noon though, so maybe...

He was so far offside NASA was asking if he needed a space suit.

Can you imagine him playing off Cheesley?

How's your guide dog getting on?

One of the things I like about Max's shot stopping is that he's very aware of making sure the ball is safe. Bentley had the habit of putting it to the feet of an opposition player.

Which is what he should've done against Millwall - he was bullied in that game - maybe he learnt something from it.

I agree. Very marginal, if I'd been the lino I wouldn't have given it!!

Bristol City 0 v Oxford United 4, 10 October 1970

That's how I see it too (and hope), similar to Leicester - NP created the culture and bought the players, Ranieri won the trophy. Could Ranieri have created what NP did and could Pearson have delivered the Premier League title. We'll never know.

So, could history repeat itself. Nige created the culture and team at Leicester but it took a different manager to get them to win something.

Looks that way - hope so anyway!

So, looks like we've sold out. Please Mr West Ham Sir, can we have some more?

4 now - someone put some back! 1 - who's going to be billy no mates? all gone!

3 left! 2

135 remaining

146 now

317 left. Looks like I'll be watching on the TV

Don't we all?

Yes, thanks for your contribution.

Oh, and I think Manning has some learning to do also. In league 1, if you dominated a side in the first half the opposition probably didn't have the nouse, or the players, to change things. This is the championship, the managers are better and the teams have deeper and better squads.

Yes, absolutely. Honesty is all we needed. They could easily have said that they thought Nige had now taken us as far as he could. That, with his health issue making it impossible for him to attend the training ground that it would be better to change now rather than wait. Thank him properly for what he had done and achieved since joining, and wish him well and a speedy recovery. Then maybe, just maybe, they would have had the fanbase on their side. But, as Nige would probably have said himself, we are where we are and have to get on with it. And I just think I can see what Manning is trying to do and he has made a difference in the short time he's been here.

Well, not sure this will be universally accepted but I thought the first half today was better than we were used to seeing under Nige. There was better control in confined spaces and I thought that we always had an "out" ball. We had players taking the ball between the lines and, with some better finishing could have been a couple of goals to the good. I thought the "system" was working well but that the players didn't quite have the quality (or confidence maybe) to finish the job. Second half, clearly Norwich made some adjustments to counter what they'd seen in the first half which made it more difficult. Then they equalised with a freakish own goal and then Zak got caught out under the ball and with a player like Idah (who would walk into our team but can only make the Norwich bench) was a fatal mistake. Against So'ton we could, and should, have been 2/3 goals up at half time. Fine margins and I'm optimistic it will come good and the results will come.

I hear we're likely to get a 9k allocation - will we sell out?
