I am on ze list - it's nice to know my contributions are remembered.

I used to love the quiz, especially the pun names round. Unfortunately, I play football on Monday nights so won't be around. I may drop in later with a pun or two.

I hear Trafford has started a gofundme for legal action over breach of contract.

Any damages to go to charity.

And Muric's dad has called off the hit.

I think this is conservative
Penalty last minute v Bournemouth also missed by VAR

2 pts from safety and still to play the team in 17th at home completely changes the picture

Don't forget Villa's penalty.

I don’t know you but your persona is one of a weak little boy. A thread about Muric’s good performance should not be used as another opportunity to abuse one of our young players. You’re just not a very good supporter and come across as a very unpleasant person.

Sadly he's not the only one.

McNeil tried to set up others. All the wingers Vinny has brought in are selfish, cut inside and shoot wingers.

I occasionally read on here that Trafford has a clause in his contract that he must be selected to play except for injury Is this correct? He is a signed player not a loan.

There really isn't enough superlatives to describe Jimmy.

Just 9 more wickets required to overtake the late great Shane Warne into the 2nd most Test match wickets of all time...

Just needs to score 70 to make India bat again.

It's an urban myth that Blackburn are allowed to have their crest on them too…

However, these supposed traditions is something that I think FA / UEFA /FIFA should bring in.

I think you're right. How about one for breaking a certain number of financial rules?

White shorts, hooped socks.

Alternatively, white shirts, white socks.

Maybe a modern take on the V shirt from the seventies. Ground breaking was that…

What about hooped shorts and white socks?

I think an away shirt with a collar and tie design will sell very well amongst users of this board.

If only this was a consideration when the buyout was happening.

It’s not so worrying the signings side of it , as mentioned above we’ve signed some cracking players.

Results, its just results

I'm sure nobody used buzzwords like "disengaged" or "disconnected" when we went nearly half a season without winning under Cotterill.

I remember going to Palace for Trevor Francis first game and I think we beat them 2-1. Francis came out in tiny shorts if I remember rightly. Hope history repeats itself and we nick a win.

I'd say there is less than zero chance of Trevor Francis appearing in tiny shorts.

I remember them coming to the Turf with a young Lee Sharpe in their team. It was towards the end of the season and I guess the deal for him to go to United in the summer had already been agreed.
