Yes, there was Dunne and Benson (the latter's fee has never been revealed but I've read 500k).

I think the policy was essential because, as we all know, our youth system had been wrecked.

Dwight was different for me as he joined us when aged 14 (I believe).

ecc

Our policy upon returning to the PL in 2014 of picking up other clubs' rejects has yet to pay off in terms of one of them becoming a first-team player. However, we got circa £2m for this lad from Coventry. Maybe he would have played for us had we not have been a PL team. Whatever, he can be proud to...

We need Everton to win however much we don't want them to.

But Chris "Comfort Zone" Wood will ensure they don't. Nailed on.

Sutton is a clueless tool.

It was mentioned on the match thread I think but having just seen the goals I'd like to underline the class and respect of Lyle Foster. The man scored his first goal in four months but instead of celebrating he went straight to his teammate, Lorenz Assignon, who had set him up. Might seem minor but ...

I am pleased to say that you have just misunderstood. I had not noticed the connection, so my sincerest of apologies for that -particularly at this time. I feel very bad about additional upset for you. The intention was to nip in the bud 2 threads. The one was attracting very positive comments and ...

Sherwood once said Tom Carroll would be the new Luka Modric and might go on to play for Barcelona.

Hope you feel better soon, Tony.

Good to hear you were well looked after by the people at Sheffield United.

PLEASE don't ruin this by making comparisons.

Please just take it in the way it's meant.

RIP Taffy

A win for Taffy.

Lyle's first goal for months. Get in lad.

Bloody hell, 2 up and some people are desperate to slag players off. A team is the sum of its parts.

This is UTC, you know.

But, yes, it's reet annoying.

Yes, I do have other things to do but the bloke is using this forum in an unethical manner.

Academic spamming. What next?

Hi Vino blanco, You said "My first thought was that for a left winger he used to appear to drag the ball behind him with his right foot, but then suddenly he would accelerate and go past defenders like they weren’t there." He does this for our first goal in this match against Villa. https://www.yout...

He didn't - I thought he'd signed on the day of the West Ham game. That second debut came a week later at, of all places, given who we play tomorrow, Bramall Lane, the day Alex Sabella murdered us and we were 3-0 down after 19 minutes and lost 4-0. I may well be wrong but I seem to recall it being ...

Dreadful news. One of our best players in the last 50 years. I saw him during his first spell. As I recall it, he wasn't given a warm welcome upon returning to TM with Derby. I recall returning to Nelson on Friday 8 September 1978 to read he'd resigned. We played West Ham the following day. Tony wil...

Fair enough.

I'll contact Villa and ask him to wind up fans at every away match until somebody comes on and attacks him.

Okay, Bordeauxclaret, but are we not allowed to boo players? That's existed for as long as I can remember and I'm 62. God, I lived through the Auschwitz Song, Munich Song etc etc period, bananas thrown at black players. Thankfully that's gone. Yes, there are instances of racism, antisemitism etc and...

Mentioned on here last night but this prick's antics warrant action taken against him. Players are rightly booked for "execessive celebrating". It's bad enough when your team has conceded to then have clowns giving it large in front of you. Whilst I do not condone any violence committed by fans, I c...

I can understand, to a certain extent, reluctance to inform us about injuries to 16-year-old players. But not to first-team squad players. All other clubs seem to do it.

for Viktoria Plzen away against Fiorentina in the Conference League QFs.

He's played 21 times in the Czech league but only eight starts. Two goals, one assist.

Seven games in Conference League. No goals.

Dislike the club intensely.

They had some of the most violent fans back in the day. The ground makes TM look like Bernabeu.

And their years of fraud and making scores of local firms insolvent shouldn't be forgotten.

I'll fill in the survey but I'd just like to ask a question, please.

I had an irrational dislike for Home Counties cricketers but Underwood was class. He changed his approach when wickets became covered. He was close on medium-pace but with incredible accuracy. Very difficult to get away. Some might laugh but I saw similarities between Underwood and Jack Simmons. The...

I'm sorry but the howler yesterday can happen to all keepers. However awful it was, it doesn't make him a bad goalkeeper.

Absolutely not condoing it but I've been amongst Burnley fans down in Brighton singing "Town full of queers".

I would add this:

Bonjour Monsieur/Bonjour Madame

Always you "s'il vous plaît" and "merci".

Being polite never a negative attitude.

As for people speaking French in Marseille, yes, they do. Despite the colour of their skin.

However, the accent can be impenetrable.

I just hope they continue to be a sh**show for the self-promoted biggest club in the world.

Quality player, but I feel his England scoring record is skewed by the amount he’s scored against poor sides. Kane, imo has always come up short when we’ve played the better sides in the latter stages. Even when he got the WC golden boot it was a bit rubbish. 2 decent goals in the first game agains...
