Any chance we could get him back as our first transfer window signing?

I genuinely never knew, how do you access it (genuine question)?

Andy Llewellyn certainly stayed in the first team beyond one season, as he played about 300 games for us.

Rob Newman?

2 of 16, made it to regular first team football and one of those didn't come all the way through it. Academy showing its value. 

That's about average, I'd imagine. It's not like FIFA

The BBC is like the NHS. Resources are poorly spent. 

Got some evidence for that? I can wait...

Funding radio shows that ask what the punishment for blasphemy should be instead of continuing to fund QoS is a choice well within their scope, the blame lies nowhere else.

"Funding apples when it should be funding pears! I demand absolute comparison between all BBC outputs!!!"

Radio costs buttons to put out, particularly discussions stuff.

I didn't realise it was still going. It was crap when I used to watch it as a kid, the ultimate proof of which was Berhard Langer admitting he'd seen the 'mystery person' segment being filmed.

I'm combining the Boxing Day traditions of football and family by dragging my two to (T)Watford.

Sigh.

I'm a Bristol City fan.

I'm always worried.

135 points???? FFS

Drive to Amersham on the Chiltern line and take the Met Line into London.

Yeah, here it is.

 

Me and a (West Ham supporting) mate came down from Brum for the game, not realising it didn't kick off at 3. 

We were so upset, we went out and got absolutely battered in town.

Spoke to a gashead today and he says that if they beat Crewe Rovers could sell 10,000 tickets for Norwich away in the next round ,  should be fun on the London bound trains !!

So, if all 10k are going to be accommodated, under the 15% away fans rule, that means that Carrow Rd would need to hold 66,667...not sure it's that big

Regardless of when it is, it is absolutely essential that we get Moyesie to give us his big two-armed wave, like back in his playing days

A lovely tribute to Terry Venables....

A truly wonderful tribute. Squires is a legend (sadly, also a Swindle fan)

Didn’t you mean infamous? 

Nah, he means "Shit"

For some context, I used to work with the Wycombe doctor, and we borrowed the team's kit occasionally, under some deal with the kit man. Admittedly, this was a while back, but no doubt still rings true.

Apparently, said kit man was 'much loved', a 'nice guy' and 'the soul of the club'.

I think it's pretty much the job description for what is probably not a well paid job.

And I imagine it extends way beyond looking after kit. Although that is, let's be honest, quite a responsible job - remember the odd time when some team's turned up with the wrong kit? It hits the national news (think it happened to one of the Sheffield teams not so long ago).

Some of them are OK - I quite like the Jackson Pollock one and the Tartan one, Heerenveen's is great

Isn’t it universally agreed that Coventry’s chocolate brown away kit from the early 80’s is the best kit of all time? (Apart from our own purple and lime kit, obviously)

No, because it's vile. And I'm not wild about Cov's kit.

Can I ask, although I assumed you Googled it, how you could tell the detailing was naff from the distance of the TV cameras? Antoine was playing well yesterday, by the way.

I mean the way the join of the halves of the kit weren't crisp, sort of scribbled. Ruined a nice design.

Sorry if my use of design language is insufficiently precise.

PS Antoine played well, but Sheffield Utd are doomed

We all know this club is a job for the boys and don’t get me wrong scotty probably gave me my second best day behind Mansfield but is it not time to say goodbye and become professional 

I know what’s coming by the way 

He's the kitman, surely he is not exactly pivotal? 

Can I just say how "disappointed" I am in the OP's spelin'?
