  1. Much more recently a certain Scott Murray & Jamie McAllister had excellent careers with us, too.
  2. I remember him. Absolute dogshit, couldn’t run. When SOD took over he wanted to immediately release him but found his mate Derek had inserted a clause that meant he couldn’t. As has already been pointed out McInnes signed some right rubbish from up there. It isn’t a graveyard, it’s a higher standard that these players.
  3. What a truly pathetic comment. Some people don’t have the money or time for that option. I came up last night because I was dropping my daughter back at Uni but don’t see any need to be smug about it, just fortunate that I can do so. Unnecessary & mean spirited.
  4. Me too, the only time I have ever been to Carrow Rd. Not a surprise as the journey seemed to take about a week, I expected to get off the minibus in Amsterdam the amount of time it took us to get that far East.
  5. When they get sold & do nothing, because those players never get mentioned again. You could probably find loads of threads saying we’ll regret selling/releasing so & so but when like in the cases of Liam Walsh or Ryley Towler it doesn’t happen they’re not brought up.
  6. Agree with every word. Palmer was an utterly baffling signing, people like to jump on the bandwagon and say all 3 of the Chelsea players were poor but the other two made perfect sense. Szmodics didn’t look ready in his very few opportunities & when he left us for (League One) Peterborough I don’t recall many (any?) of these posters complaining. At 28, over 3 years since he left us it is clearly all coming together for him, but to pretend that there was a majority opinion at the time that said keep him is nonsense.
  7. Spot on. To a new signing too “you’ve had a look around the high performance centre, just how impressed are you?” Simple bit of programming here, surely? Phil Alexander said that he was brought in to reduce costs maybe he suggested an AI replacement for him & that’s why he was sacked?
  8. Also been assistant to Gerrard in Saudi so very shrewd to move on, as the Saudis are now realising that he makes Frank Lampard look like Guardiola.
  9. Pretty sure when we went for Downing & Simpson he was also an England U20 manager at the same time? Third consecutive appointment for them who is a Scouser, of course no chance it would ever be Barton.
  10. Barton’s interviews are abysmal though. I understand he was involved with rugby before us? He asks pretty much the same questions at every one.
  11. Or they could think we’re a just above mid table third division team who play in one of the worst grounds in the league. Someone who is seriously suggesting that the Premier League is a realistic objective has forgotten to take their medication.
  12. Is that a promotion or a sideways move? Always seems weird to me when someone who is criticised by their boss or the public then gets moved in this way. Happens a lot in politics.
  13. They’re the famous quarters, mate. Everyone in the country’s second favourite team with far more fans than their own ground can hold & an away following that no one else can match. Apparently.

  15. A strangely logical choice. Maybe they have realised sacking a successful manager & appointing a “name” really doesn’t work.
  16. Mine arrived on Wednesday but despite the envelope saying “to be signed for” as no one was in, it was put through my letterbox. Not particularly helpful but it entirely depends on your postie, someone else on here had a conversation with theirs & he was taking those back to the collection place if no one answered the door. As it’s on a Sunday there is always tomorrow’s post too, of course.
  17. Think it was pretty obvious by the fact he kicked the ball off the pitch to go off he’d done something that would rule him out for a while. At least it has happened when the fixtures have massively thinned out & if it really is only a few weeks he might miss just 2 league games. None of them are effective there but we do have Weimann & Bell who can play wide & both Yeboah & Nelson too, though neither are anywhere near ready to start games in my opinion.
  18. Me too. In my mind he got a couple & we won 3-1? Could be the strangeness of playing in blue (I was definitely at the Orient cup tie as well) that makes me remember it.
  19. Think that’s super optimistic. Brownhill is linked with a move every transfer window & never does. Not sure how this would Benefit Burnley in any way. Have a feeling that if Hull are bringing in Benson then it is because they expect Twine to be elsewhere by next month, could be us, could be someone else.
  20. Mine arrived yesterday, despite the envelope saying “to be signed for” the postie (probably the one from Viz) put it through the letterbox. If yours doesn’t turn up by tomorrow I’d contact the club.
  21. Pretty sure something similar happened at Northampton once as well. Not the 7-1 game.
  22. Any truth in the rumour that the bloke who designed it’s next project was the Memorial Ground?
  23. Sunderland, 3 or 4 games ago.
  24. Remember a 2-0 defeat at home to Scunthorpe really early in Terry Cooper’s time. Think that 7-1 Northampton defeat might well have been the previous game? Was stood with 2 mates and one of them got chucked out for doing something very similar. The game was so dire we were both envious.
  25. Just the 3 World Cup winners in it, which seeing as there have only ever been 11 English ones, is some ratio.
