Feel for him, he looks like he has the weight of the World on his shoulders, would love him to get a couple of goals before the season is out.

I’d say we’re not in a position to feel sorry for Amdouni.

dougcollins

That chasing back to rectify his mistake was unbelievable.

Even better when it produced a goal at the other end.

dougcollins

Holy sh!t!

dougcollins

Get in!

Muric starting today I believe

What’s he starting?

dougcollins

It's been done to death, but it is like all the new boys had to play to increase their value.

That worked then.

dougcollins

The 'town masterplan' sounds interesting. Where do you get to read that?

All I want is to see a home win . Only home game missed was SU

Snap!

The players owe us something tomorrow, that away performance at Brentford was up there with the very worst.

Apparently he's been ill recently. Perhaps he's still recovering.

Seems to be a theme in this squad.

dougcollins

If they need a fall guy, Gordon's your man.

Literally.

dougcollins

The Americans were probably a bit taken aback when we said we had a 'Chief of Staff'.

dougcollins

Now it is fanciful I agree but reading what Claretspice and now Crosspool have said if he had been used correctly from the start and given the time to play in the correct position etc he could have been a major asset this season. I’m not sure if he would have got 5 and 5 but he wouldn’t be far away...

Reports were that he fell out with Steve Holland, other reports say he left the squad due to not getting gametime.

Southgate categorically denies the Holland thing.

How do you get to meet our official mattress partner Emma?

Asking for a friend.

'Positive surprises'

Foster back?

You can only hope.

Clubs earn so little money from non corporate ticketing, a few million, the marginal gains of any approach to ticketing are immaterial

This really is the point.

Let's hope they can read the room.

Our performance against Bournemouth was the one that nailed our season, for me.

Could be the same tonight for Luton. Out of the bottom three, good luck to 'em.

Assignon can do one for me after that pathetic collapse on Sunday that could easily have cost us a goal .

It's not the only time - he seriously needs to quit throwing himself on the floor holding various body parts.

It's really not a good look, leave that to Brighton.

We were unbeaten against Blackburn, Blackpool, Preston and Wigan last season. And won home and away against Huddersfield who aren't too far away.

We drew twice with Blackpool, who were, frankly, terrible.

Some cracking Lancashire derby's.

But the kind of games you don't need to be honest.

Nothing like the derby factor to upset the formbook.

BBC did a docu on him back in his heyday and it showed him doing this on his NY hotel bed.

I think his tracking back would be no worse than Zaroury and Benson and they didn't do too bad for us in the Championship

I'm not sure you were paying attention last season.

dougcollins

Kind of dependant on where you get to sit at Goodison, but I've got two differing opinions:

a) It's a great example of a traditional old football ground

b) Its a sh!thole

Tresor would rip Championship defences apart next season. I hope he stays even though it is unclear.

I've seen nothing to suggest that would be the case.

So you are a Stewart, Bosscat!

Did you hang around for Peggy?
Are you waiting for the next rising? (Any time soon now, so polish your claymore)

Polishing your claymore is frowned upon in North Yorkshire -certainly in public.

This desperate journalism for a national broadcaster.

Well below any ethical standard, BBC should never have polls about managers like this.

Don't forget they employ Chris Sutton.

I presume that's Dean Windass? If so, he was guest speaker a few weeks back at the Rishton Utd FC Sportsmans Dinner and sounded a top bloke and a bit of a lad! My mate picked up his kids from the same school as Windass in Bradford, and one time he related this missive: ''At half time I told the ref...

Not sure how much of a difference he would have made football wise.
But we certainly miss his smile and positivity around the place.

You seriously don't think he would have made a difference to this team, football wise?

Have you seen any of his games in the Bundesliga?

Assignon is definitely dividing opinion.

We seem to be the only team bl00dy Ings can score against.

Just seen this,and maybe too late! Not going today, but I've done it a few times before by parking in Romford (quite a few big 'pay' car parks near the station) and then two stops down the line to Stratford.

i don't know, existentialism has always alluded me.

I can't work out if that's a clever pun or you just mis-spelled 'eluded'.

The only home game I missed, on holiday.

Not see us win at home in a season will be a 60 year first.

"Till we play Blackburn Rovers"

Ha ha, my pet hate.

How about:

That familiar feeling I'd had once before'

Not that familiar then. Or:

'Romeo, you nearly gave me a heart attack'

If only Shakespeare had thought of that.

Best said if he didn't play injured, he would have never played a game.

We appear to have plenty of players in that position.

dougcollins

Even compared with the season we were relegated, the pace in the PL seems to have gone up a gear.

I suppose something has to give.

Meticulously covered in 'Twin Town', but I can't find the clip on YouTube. Probably not surprising considering the language.

Half of that tally is from when Eddie Howe was manager.

My friend has a restaurant, and I told her if I owned one I'd only let people in if correctly attired.

She said 'You'd have a very empty restaurant'.
