Loved Subutteo - from all the advertising I’m hearing this year about it there could be a new generation of kids playing it too (unless it’s just us oldies buying it again) The first 2 subutteo teams I got were Burnley with the V strip (oh I wished I still had them !) and a team who at the time of g...

I really haven’t seen in Brownhill what others have seen but I thought he had a really good game yesterday. I’ve liked what I have seen from Brownhill - bearing in mind he’s never played in the top league and he was in relative terms a very cheap buy. I think he’s very tenacious, got a lot of energ...

He’s only 21 and we are very lucky to have him.

He was actually a brilliant golfer in his day but became better known for his commentary.

I don't think Vydra doesn't work hard enough, I think he just get's fed up with chasing aimless balls - we had Ian Moore for that. Vydra seems a bit too lightweight for this league, gets brushed off the ball too easily. Around a year ago I am pretty sure that’s how I would have described what I had...

Really! 1) We're probably the cheapest prices already in the PL. 2) ST prices haven't risen for about 8 years. 3) Just where do you think that these extra fans will come from?
