What an achievement. Almighty congrats to Parker and the players.

What an incredible turnaround. This time last year some people on this board were saying we’d lose our money on Trafford and now he’s too big for us :lol: :lol: If he does go it’ll be for a huge fee, hopefully brought about by a bidding war. Yeah looks likely. Can anyone remember the terms we agree...

It’s clearly getting to that point of the season where Parker will have to take more risks. But going too far in that direction could actually have the opposite effect and leave us cut adrift. Sunderland may regret not having a more safety first approach in stoppage time today when they were reckle...

Here’s some maths. Sheff Utd have picked up 0.21 points per game more than us. To overturn this deficit we will need to pick up 0.54 points per game more than them over the next 13 games. This could be a 0.27 ppg improvement from us and a 0.27 ppg deterioration from them. This is hardly massive. Th...

Nowhere near over yet! I still think we'll do it, with Edwards being the catalyst we need I genuinely hope you're right but i think the difference between us and leeds/SU is the willingness to go balls to the wall to secure late wins. As we just saw, leeds went for the jugular and reaped the reward...

We aint catching them. Leeds are on track for 100 points, Sheff u for 98.
Getting to 98+ points is a bridge to far for us this year. Shame, but all things considered the lads are doing us proud.
It aint over til its over but im preparing myself for the stress of the play offs.

Trafford 10* - incredible confidence, got in isidors head. Distribution too slow but that may be tactical from parker Roberts 7 - solid Egan-Riley 8 - great block at the end Esteve 8.5 - brick wall. Won basically every challenge. One or two dodgy passes though Humphreys 6 - our best crosser but had ...

I honestly don’t see how the subs were negative Jay rod - Flemming Sarmiento - Hannibal Egan - pires pushing Humphrey’s into cb Koleosho - Laurent because let’s be honest Luca looked goosed. Except for the last one they are pretty much like for like jay rod - flemming is understandable given lack o...

Last summers transfer strategy, or lack thereof, is whats truly screwed us this season. At the end of last season the big signings we needed were: - a strong CB (someone with prem experience ideally) - a DM to replace Cork - a LB - a RW (ideally Tella) - a good striker we failed on all 5 positions I...

cant believe some here are writing him off completely after a short run of bad games where he's been played out of position
the whole attack was sh!t today and v everton, no need to single him out really

It's the period with the headline one-offs but apart from selling academy products at a big profit it often isn't hitting the profit/loss to a huge level, most of the financial activity is throught the year with tv money, wages, amortisation, etc. You could align it but you'd then need to pro-rate ...

Obviously the question is where do you cut it off? What if they'd kept Johnson until January and sold him for £80m? Or the end of the season and £100m? Aligning the transfer window with the start of the season could help but that's a moving date and not many clubs will have a year end that aligns w...

For four points some clubs ( and owners) will think it’s worth breaking the rules. The deterrents are weak. A bit like the PL when it comes to looking after their own. Youre not wrong there. I think that at least part of the reason the punishments are weak is because the rules themselves are poorly...

They were over by 34.5m. yes so if they had sold Johsnson in June for 35 million they would have had losses of around 60 mil for the 3 year period (1 mil below the max allowed). But instead they sold 2 months later for a greater amount and as such have made a smaller loss during those same 3 years ...

I have to say i have some sympathy for forest here - they've been mugged off by the fact the premier league accounting period isnt aligned with the transfer window. I cant think of a good reason why the rules are like this. In this case its led to a situation where forest should have sold Johnson fo...

great display by muric today but lets not get carried away yet . . Brentford handed us a massive advantage early in the game and we still had to hold on for dear life at the end there. Looked a bit shaky overall but a wins a win. I think we'll have to wait til at least the wolves game before we get ...

fair play to vitinho, he had a decent game i think

blooomin chuffed me pal
