I think Zizkov is the rough diamond :D :D :D I've not met Tony Philliskirk but generally I've found the academy staff really good and I'm not surprised they were so welcoming. Jon Pepper is out there I see and he was there last time when he was good with the few fans who attended. I hope Mike Rigg ...

It is Tremaine...... and if people think these lads lack technical ability, in a fitness focused pre season game, where they are in full time training with increased strength and conditioning for the first time, causing heavy legs and fatigue, I hope they'll get chance to see them when they play ga...

Was there any truth to the J Maehle link a while ago? He would make a good signing! There’s also still time for Bowen possibly, I’d be very happy with him! Maehle gave an interview saying he wasn't even thinking about a transfer this window, just looking forward to this season at Genk. Not sure if ...

I don't think we are necessarily punching above our weight anymore. We have spent the majority of the last decade at the top of the Championship, or in the Premier League. We have even taken in a European tour. We are establishing ourselves on and off the pitch as a premier league club. We do need ...

Good news, that.

It was a campaign badly run by Remain, judging from recent events all they had to do was promise pensioners a free TV licence & the Brexit vote would have evaporated

I see Boris has got the wrong end of the stick already re: the Queen

A lot of 16 year olds playing against a team potentially of 19 year olds so a bit harsh to be over critical. They were definitely bigger than us, had all the tricks too, any contact led to a fall- the penalty was very soft. A couple of decent performances so see what the next match brings. Hope it'...

Please can we not call him Boris. Every other PM was generally referred to bu using their last name. Calling this person by his first name infers friendliness, acceptance, even an amount of likeability. He is a dangerous, self serving, arrogant semi fascist and I will never, ever call him anything ...

To Long Time Lurker, throughout your post you use the phrase, 'We had the opportunity . . .' but how do you know what opportunities existed? As far as I can see, any recruitment problems we face rest on the fact that we don't have many opportunities to bring in players who would improve our first t...

Difficult to compare era's,but in the current market Shearer would set you back a £100m or so,hard to judge Dwight on half a season,but he's definitely worth more than £15m,average Championship players go for that nowadays.

That was my impression too, since he said he'd identify players & report to SD & the board

If she goes over the £85,000 threshold then she would have to charge VAT to her customers, this would add 20% to her invoices- this may be too much for her clients, especially initially in a new business.

It's £21m depending on which source you look at. But even £21m could still be decent value in today's market.
