Steven Thompson. Capable of playing as the target man, but also excellent with his feet and bringing others into play.

Fretters

Horrible news. When I saw he had pancreatic cancer a few years ago, I feared the worst. One of the worst you can get.

RIP to a good bloke and excellent footballer.

Be ready for Brentford to drop like a stone without Toney. I think he's had a hand in half of their goals since promotion which is now a PL record.

Very confident but I'm waiting for the points gap (currently 15 with GD) to equal or exceed the games left (21) as it's pretty much done then.

We're not far away at all.

I've only once got it to work on Virgin with a TIVO box - that was when there was only one match. Last night when I tried it (on channel 503) I got to the 'wait a minute' screen but then it just flipped back to the Blackpool - Sheff Utd match. A later attempt it moved on but only to the 'not availa...

Ah, just realised I have a V6 box so that must be why it always works.

Not working for me. Is anyone else having problems, or is anyone else getting the red button matches? I want it working tomorrow!

I discovered that the Virgin red button only works if you use the SKY Sports football channel, it doesn't work on main event.

Hope this helps!

Appears to say "I'm staying here!"

I think it's more likely he's pointing out that he 'scored here', having not scored at the Turf since August (this just clicked when I read Tony's match report).

In 2001/2002, I’m sure we had fifty points on the board when the wheels came off at Man City We got to 50 points by drawing with Millwall on 22nd December but I think that was our 25th game Just imagine sending out Jack Cork on loan to league 1 at this point, as we suddenly did with Paul Cook durin...

Can they use the losses from the football club against the profits made against their poultry business in India? Genuine q, I don't know - the accounts make reference to unused losses carried forward but maybe they're capital losses or something. Assuming all their businesses fall under one umbrell...

Fretters

No idea why Venky’s continue to pour money in I'm no expert but it seems a few reasons: 1. The losses are very small considering their overall worth 2. BRFC losses will reduce their overall tax bill 3. The rewards of it all finally paying off (promotion) are worth the continued investment. Not just...

But that wasn't the last time we were "top at Christmas"

Unless Tony has missed one in his match report, it does actually look like 2001 was the last time!

Fretters

Right decision for me as nobody else has ever been able to replicate that 'club feel' within the England camp and that's just as important as tactical nous IMO. We saw it ourselves under Coyle. I think he now needs to bring somebody in with that nous. I wouldn't look too far away and get Wiegman inv...

It hasn't stopped him much at all, he's as busy as ever according to a podcast he did with Steven Bartlett. It's a really good listen where he goes into the full effects of his condition. I've listened to a few of his own podcast which he recently launched with Ben Shepherd and it's very good. He sp...

All starts with the keeper, I remember some on here saying ''Pope can pass it like Muric'', I think those people were smoking strong drugs.

Might be time to take Tella off. Not sure who for. Twine in midfield? He is just not really being utilised. Not his fault but it's not happening.

This aged well

Even the QPR lad just congratulated Muric, top save.

he plays when he cares, the prick.

He scored twice in 7 minutes and finished his chances instinctively. I'm not sure it's just because he cares.

Believe it or not, I had a Renault Megane from new for 6 years from 2001 and did exactly as suggested above throughout the life of the car and never had a single issue.

I once cracked my window doing this. It also startled a nearby swan which proceeded to break my arm.

Arsenal away
Manchester United away
Liverpool away
Chelsea away
Manchester City at home
Spurs at home

He gave us all those wins, on top of everything else he achieved. Unbelievable manager for us.

The club have just announced on LinkedIn that the team will be switching sponsors to Endsleigh on the home shirt for one game. Not sure when or why, but I'd love to get hold of one of those.

Brilliant. In my time, we've scored some fantastic goals against them, either top finishes or well worked - Hyde, Blake, Stanislas, Arfield, Brady and Blake's 2nd in particular. I can't really think of any special goals they've scored against us in that time? Maybe I've just blocked them all out. On...

Just read that the VAR official who adjudicated on the controversial Japan goal last night was Fernando Guerretro.

It couldn’t be, could it??

As the most fouled player in the Premier League, he'd make a good official as he'd know what to look out for

Fretters

Yes, the loyalists were Marney and Wallace. Chris McCann (Wigan), Martin Paterson (Huddersfield) and Lee Grant (Derby) all decided the grass would be greener elsewhere and missed out on taking part in our glorious promotion season. To be fair to Pato, I think he left as Huddersfield promised to pla...

One of the couple who agreed to a pay cut prior to the 2013/14 season and got his deserved reward in the end. Can't remember who the other was but I'm sure there was somebody else.

. At this time I cannot see the club knocking the CF Stand down for redevelopment as I don't think the site area would permit any significant upgrade to the concourses or facilities as it is too limited in size. This has always been a reason not to fully develop it, with the cricket club behind. Bu...

Is that plenty of room in your opinion, or plenty of room by building guidelines with the proximity of J10 and then J9?

I have it in my mind that the length of a motorway entrance and exit to the west side of the junction would be too close to junction 10?

Nah, plenty of room. Probably no less than what there is between J9 and J8, for example.

Fretters

I'd make it so you could get on and off the motorway at both sides at junction 11. Would massively ease congestion, especially on match days.

It's been said many times, including by me, but i fail to see what the Venkys are getting out of their ownership of Rovers. Seems they're pumping large amounts of dough into Ewood for no discernable return. In the short term, the losses reduce their overall tax bill. In the long term, they may just...

The Turf looks a bloody great stadium too. I’d normally say ground, but stadium really is the most fitting word the way it looks I agree, it looks fantastic and much more modern now.
