When I saw him sitting on a bench, I thought it was Manuel Benson.

For me, it's the Dyche years, particularly the 13-14 season when everything just clicked. Nobody gave us a prayer when we sold Austin just before the season. I started watching in 94-95 (started on a relegation, great) and I have fond memories of Heath's 96-97 season when John Ward was around. For s...

Now the favourite with the bookies

I still don't think it will happen. He's great at getting groups to bond and work together, which is perfect for tournament football and something better tacticians than him have failed to do, but he isn't an elite manager at all.

My opinion, of course.

Fretters

Usual bxxxxxxx talked about Eddie for England when Southgate goes to Manure.Eddie is dead man walking as the Arab owners expected a top 4 finish this year and lmo he will get binned . United would be plain mental to appoint Southgate who bombed at Boro and Southgate would be mad to leave his very c...

I was hoping it would be James Norton or Tom Hardy.

One 10 and that was from FCBurnley who gave Trafford 7 at Brighton earlier this season but Muric 10 on Saturday. Tom came fourth in the man of the match vote and third in the player ratings.

That's a surprise. Did McNeil finish top?

Fretters

It's the lack of knowledge that bugs me. "We didn't know much about that from him" (On Muric's passing ability) being an example. The usual pundits seem to spend the day watching their games and researching the key players (e.g. a goalkeeper making his first start of the season) but she seemed to kn...

Fretters

A great report and couldn't agree more on the treatment of Trafford. His confidence may never recover from this season and it's absolutely inexcusable, especially when we've had last year's Championship goalkeeper of the year sitting on our effing bench.

Fretters

It would be interesting to know what Heaton's ratings were when Dyche dropped Hart for him. 9s and 10s probably.

Fretters

His funding page is just a load of nonsense. It refers to the truth countless times, without saying what that actually is. At the end of the day, he's said far worse about Vine than the other way round.

Fretters

I saw a brief mention on the JJ Watt thread but couldn't find anything else with the search function. Vizeh has today completed his 7 marathons in 7 days challenge which is an incredible feat, well done that man.

He's raising money in memory of his mum:

Of course they would, just as at one point or another we’ve looked up the tables at them in envy. All have them have looked light years ahead of us in the not too distant past.

When have Lincoln, Oxford or Cambridge looked light years ahead of us?

Fretters

Lincoln followed up a very impressive 5-1 win at high flying Barnsley at the weekend with a 6-0 win tonight against Cambridge. Their fans must be buzzing. Bolton also had a big win, 5-0 against Oxford. Makes you think - as painful as this season is - we've been at the same level as all of Lincoln, B...

27 goals in early March by Szmodics is some going, to be fair. Surely, when he goes, they can't find yet another saviour like they always seem to.

I still get annoyed by Cornet taking that penalty.

The day the Music died.

Missed one yesterday - 10 years since I finally saw my first victory against Blackburn. So that's also 10 years since they last scored a goal against us - Jordan Rhodes, who was incidentally sent off for Blackpool yesterday.

Ah, the day the natives got restless and our subs bench was used to protect some of their young fans. Also, Barnes tripping up the pitch invader!

My understanding is that owners can spend as much as they like, as long as the spend the money rather than simply loan it to clubs. Owners have been loaning clubs money, having a jolly and then pulling the plug on their little hobby, withdrawing funding and wanting their money back. Clubs have been...

What a strange club, to say they are owned by billionaires* No matter who they appoint, they're always crap these days and they're in the relegation zone now.

It's quite cathartic listening to this after such a crap performance, I find. One slightly annoying thing, Chris Boden's microphone, or maybe he just keeps moving away from it. I noticed it on the last episode, he fades out and then back in randomly and you miss a lot of what he's saying. I thought ...

In December my wife ordered from a McDonald's on her way home from Sheffield and ate it whilst parked on the car park. However, she was unwittingly on the car park of a carvery next door and left after 15 minutes. Because she didn't enter the carvery she obviously didn't tap her reg into their syste...

Despite the deafening announcer, we couldn't hear a word Andy Cooke was saying.

I gave in and tried to buy a donner sausage roll before half time, but was told, "nah, it's just pies at this one". Do they just not bother stocking everything now?

I did spot that they're doing Hobgoblin IPA now... could very well be tempted by that, has anyone tried it (from the Turf)?

Fretters

Just seen the training photo gallery on the club app and Esteve appears to be training normally. I'm looking forward to a back 4 of Assignon, O'Shea, Esteve and Taylor, it's just a shame they'll be up against such a good free scoring side.

I wrote my dissertation on it for my business degree. An absolute shambles, and that was just the dissertation

Is he still doing any scouting?
Strange how his management career just tailed off after us, one bad stint at Huddersfield and that was it.

He did fairly well at Gillingham after us, almost kept them up from an impossible position. Beat us at their place.

Fretters

He has been very good for us at times, but it's not been good enough to get us clean sheets or results that often. So it doesn't get appreciated. He doesn't, because he hasn't looked as impressive in the PL as Harwood-Bellis looked in the Championship. For some reason, Jordan Beyer - who hasn't loo...

They're on to beat Derby's worst ever top flight record of 11 points. I've copied the below from a BBC article on them. Who do they remind you of? Why are Almeria so bad? Actually, in many ways strangely they are not. Bizarre as it might sound for a group that have not won all season, at times Almer...

Pretty worrying all these apps with direct access to your credit card.

I'm 39 with two kids, six and four years old. Our lives are completely dominated by them and they cost a fortune. Me and my wife alternate lie-ins at the weekends, taking it turns to stay in bed till 9am after the other gets up around 6am. It's exhausting and I do sometimes fantasize about the old d...

Thanks Tony, I couldn't watch it yesterday and haven't yet seen the highlights so it's good to read we actually played quite well.

A small error in your report, it says we last visited in 2001.

Shearer's spot on. It's a shame we're no longer managed by a centre half.

Oh, wait...
