Re: Been with your Mrs for 30 years and don’t love her.
There is something wrong with this season, and it isn't just the results. I've felt disengaged from the club, too many new faces, too many changes, I don't know. I do know I've missed more matches this season than in the last 6 combined. I'm renewing my season ticket anyway, a season in the Champio...

Re: Been with your Mrs for 30 years and don’t love her.
This is generally because in recent years we've reached the limit of what we are likely to achieve as a club. I've seen us go from the 4th division to European football, win at Wembley twice, win promotion from each FL division, win the Championship twice, once with over 100 points playing unbeliev...

Re: So do you drop Muric after two massive costly howlers?
In general I'm a bit uncomfortable with the clamour for Benson. Equally I questioned the clamour for Muric. On balance I just think as fans it's very easy to pick holes when things aren't going well. You listen to a lot of people on here, and at the games, and it's presumably obvious the changes tha...

Maatsen is already a very very accomplished player and with the potential he still harbours I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't spend the bulk of his career at premier league level.
