Yes, and we thumped them. Scored 5 I think.

I'm more concerned about the lack of strength in depth at centre back which will be left cavernous if suitable replacements do not arrive in the wake of Tarky's predicted departure. That said the backbone of the squad needs new blood throughout. If those two leave in the summer, I would love to see ...

With regards playing in yellow, back in the day, early to mid 80s, I developed a bit of a fear of the away teams at the Turf playing in that colour. I think we must have had a rotten record with teams taking the points after playing yellow (mind you I think we had a fairly rotten record against team...

Not particularly knowledgeable about Northern Soul, but as a trader of used records I am aware of it's ever popular appeal and have stumbled across some sought after items from time to time. I have seen a good number of those pictured.

Soul in all its different forms always sells well.

Dyche to Germany?

I followed it on the BBC live feed. I had no idea how much worthy of a result we were. I was surprised when I saw the match stats too, as we had supposedly been poor throughout, or that is how it seemed.

Fabulous.

Well which is it?

Is he a Dyche type, or is he skillful?

Very good

They had seven on-loan players starting the game against us. That's a ridiculous amount. They came up, played some 'nice' footie, and will probably drop back down again. They remind me a bit of last season's Bournemouth. Powderpuff.

Zom Zom

I really don't mind how we set up and how we play. What irks me is when we play a 'long pass' to the forwards it's 'long ball, direct football'. Yet I saw a kick from a goalkeeper at the weekend (City I think) who put his player straight through on goal, and that was 'clever play by the keeper' with...

Can’t say I’m looking forward to this. So many thumping in recent years going back to Stan’s tenure. Just the sound of Mahrez’s name gives me panic attacks. Mind you, so does Sterling, Gundogan... at least it won’t be De Bruyne tearing into us tonight. What a side they are. Fantastic to watch, when ...

She's turned the opportunity down citing it's an insult, Wimbledon can't afford her and she manages elite, world-class players at Chelsea. She doesn't know why anyone would think women's football is a step down in comparison to men and the football world needs to wake up. She watches too much Sky S...

Was he highlighting Pieters as being under par there? Not like SD at all. Praise for 3 of the back 4.

For a Barton or Marney, what would I give?? Get stuck in!

Rhetorical question by the way

If I was Long I'd prefer to be playing I feel. Still, well done to the lad on earning another spell.

If only they had Tarkowski.
Might have got a point.

Hopefully it's just Pace playing it down, but it does read as though we won't be signing anyone. I don't read it that way. He highlights the lack of activity across the PL. Only 6 transfers from 20 teams. I think he talks a lot of sense, especially with the Covid situation which is costing clubs an...

Personally, I have turned away from watching matches played to empty stadiums. The absence of the supporters, whoever's playing, leaves a huge chasm. The artificial 'crowd noise' that some broadcasters give you just doesn't do anything for me. Subsequently I have reverted to Radio 5 Live so I can ma...

Solid effort.

Anything to hit our fella with the shitty end of the stick. I had an 'exchange of words' with someone I work with who has only started following the club in the last few years. I described the fall through the divisions, the near-to-the-knuckle Orient game and games against Hereford and Torquay et a...

I enquired about a Spector related promotional LP I had stumbled across on Facebook in a vinyl / record collecting group.
Received dogs abuse for taking an interest in a murderer.
Subsequently quit the group.

He was certainly a flawed genius.

BMG have been snapping up work from established artists for a few years now. A lot of names I grew up with in the 70s and 80s are now part of their roster. Their most important purchase, as far as I am concerned anyway being a Gary Numan fan since 79/80, was signing Numan up after seeing his pre-sal...

Their performances have been a little unconvincing apparently, but they have done enough to keep things ticking over, especially away from home.

Probably more of the same tonight, and I'm not ruling out some officialdom intervention to ensure it.

0-2

Zom Zom

There was a time whenever any opposing player had the ball I feared the worst.

I always seemed to note, down the years, if the opposition had an ex-Rover or one on loan from them, they'd do well.

Wayne Gill on loan at Blackpool was one of those moments.

I was going to say Derby away, but 1991/92. The atmosphere was electric

"JIMMY MULLEN'S CLARET AND BLUE ARMY!"

Then there's the full page dedicated to it in The Sun.

Proud.

It's been a dreadful year on so many levels. From personal bereavement, to my wife almost succumbing to Covid and the lengthy list of household names leaving us. One of my lifelong favourites, Tim Brooke-Taylor died on my birthday. My aunt died on Boxing Day. I've had Covid too, but nowhere near the...

Moderating can be a thankless task at times.
After the advert overdose that became the old Mad site, I'm just grateful those with the desire and time to create another board did so.

Keep on Tony. It's much appreciated.

I was going to mention Bolton Wanderers, so I'll do it here.

We've all had a lot to say about them over the last decade, but their fall (well, tumble) from grace is given even more significance this evening. They are 2-0 at Barrow after 4 minutes.

I can't quite get my head around it.

I thought our main weakness was highlighted by City time and again. Pace. Our back line is sadly lacking. I know they have incredible quality, and would probably have beaten us anyway, but the sheer speed of their forays forward was frightening. The benefits of it are magnified when you add the clin...

And now expelled from the National League. Sad for the supporters, but I do worry about such clubs that come up and couldn't fill a people carrier with enough fans to go to games. The step up maybe achievable quality wise for a time, but a professional club needs more than couple of hundred die hard...

The women's game had the main plug on the BBC website, ahead of the Premier League earlier today. There is more than enough football about to keep the most avid supporter appeased.

I guess they are suggesting, and no I haven't read it, but if WH are selling a midfielder to Liverpool, they may have the ££££ to come back with an improved offer for Tarkowski.

Lazy journalism at best.
