Is that a completely fit 1st choice squad for the first time this season?

I’m happy with this. wood and Barnes have been so poor... JBG is close to Brady but at present Brady edges it.
Bardsley close to Lowton but currently Matt looks up for it.

I took my Utd supporting mate last year. So spent ages after the match analysing it. We were fairly comfortable until they scored but like many matches we had very little ambition. It looked like we were happy at 0-0. And generally we are. As soon as they scored we didn’t look to have another gear. ...

Mr Karen Brady always had a good game against us.

Not sure how we got this far without mentioning `JRod or Ade. Maybe not top but high up on my list.

Happy to come out to Wake Up...Some Canadians in there but at least one Californian.

My aunt tripped in the ticket office and fell quite badly. Barry saw it and helped her at the time. Which in itself is nice... but a couple of days later some flowers arrived from him wishing her a full recovery. Now that is class. We’ve been lucky to have such a gentleman play such a prominent role...

Here's some food for thought on the subject of anonymity online, take it or leave it I suppose. I'm not even sure where I stand on the issue. It's obviously horrible that people receive racist abuse online, but any procedure put in place to assist in stopping that kind of abuse and harassment onlin...

Was Graham Branch there?

I see Twiggy watching for certain. Is that Chris Wood to her right?

Pope 7

Tarkowski 7

Pieters 6

Poor against one of the worst ever Prem League teams.

Well that was a bit of false advertising, it needs subtitles. I believe it is Ooooooo Balotelli, He's a striker, He's good at darts, An allergy to grass and when he plays he's f*cking class, He drives around Moss Side with a wallet full of cash... All references to his rather colourful career.

Yes and then sadly, someone 'in authority', with nothing better to do, comes along and 1. Changes the title and 2. Removes Madge! Not sure that is a supporter of our traditional match day thread. For this match, when we score, Madge will appear. Half time and hopefully Naughty Madge to celebrate th...

I'm beginning to dislike SD and IW... every chance they get seems to be around "like to try it at a bigger club".

Well maybe look at OC and see how that worked out.

If our bad start continues maybe Bolton might be their next stop.

Given his success with us I was surprised he was seldom a regular at Spurs. He did score and win a cup final for them but he never had the impact he did for us.

Thread necromancy seems to be encouraged here but on most boards either banned or at least frowned on. Bringing back long dead threads usually for a “told you so” which is unhelpful at best. Also I can’t be the only one to read year old comments on a subject thinking they are current.

I am right in thinking Michael is Micky’s son arent I? Or am I having a senior moment?

Predicted/Rumoured Lineup: Pope; Gomez, Coady, Keane; Trippier, Phillips, Winks, Saka; Ings, Calvert-lewin, Grealish.

Four current or ex clarets in that lineup ... I never thought I’d see that.

I can, us, under Owen Coyle.

And how did that work out... we won the lottery yet 2 years later we were back at square one.

andyh

Just a thought on gambling in this way. I can’t think of any team that has gambled and succeeded. In any case even if it did keep us up we would need to keep spending so next year we would be financially less stable but needing to go into the market again. Surely that is just a slippery slope that n...

We held onto all of our best players.

Our injury position looks to be easing.

When everyone is fit we have a balanced squad.

We’ve got brought in a fair few u23s that might turn out to be good long term investments.

Lets get behind the players we do have.

andyh

Chester Perry I agree entirely. Well said.

andyh

You are right it is a long time ago. But those that lived through it realised that success is only temporary. Sooner or later we will slide down the football pyramid. At that point the decisions we make now will reflect in that future. Equally the thought of watching lower league football is infinit...

I know with all the doom and gloom on here a top 10 finish looks unlikely but I’m surprised the odds are so generous so early in the season.

There is a certain irony that Boris and Trump have both had it after visibly ignoring the rules they set for the rest of us.

Wouldn’t wish it on anyone.

Hope he learns something. Suspect he won’t though.

He is cup tied though

Edit: my post looks a bit sillly as it was replying to someone saying he was a flop and dropped

I’d forgotten Stephen Grant... he is a pro golfer now!

I'M surprised he wasn't pulled from the u23's yesterday.

I don’t think they do that anymore except at Crewe

I think it is very very wrong and I’m beginning to get completely fed up of it. Dyche knows the score he should either shut up or leave. But he won’t leave cos he is on mega bucks and no better gig is available. So he stays and grumbles. It is childish and unprofessional. Like it or not it is Garlic...

Rammy I think I’ve said this before... that was my first match too. I can’t remember too much about the match. I was just 6. Couldn’t see much. We stood high up on the corner where the long side met the bee hole end. I remember the crush of people and the smell of the toilets. Although we lost I was...

Blades are interesting. They kept more or less the same squad for the first part of last year and did really well. Since then they’ve started splashing the cash. I would not be surprised if they ended up having a Fulham or Villa Like season after they spent big. It is never easy to change the team. ...

You can see the reluctance of certain posters on here to go for Delph. I could understand that if our recruitment in general was at least as good as average PL sides in this area. However based on the last 2-3 years we are probably bottom or thereabouts in the PL recruitment rankings I know this is...

I bumped into Laws in a bar in Portugal a couple of years after his dismissal. He said it was an impossible job Cos the senior players just didn’t want him and thought they knew best. I agreed and added the fans didn’t want him either. That said I think he would have been an ok manager if we’d got h...

On Dyche I think he should look at the career of Big Sam. Moved to nominally bigger clubs but soon moved on. Will be best for all concerned if he looks to build his legacy with us. As for Phil Jones I think he could be an excellent shout. There is a player there... he needs to shift some timber and ...

Weirdly I was looking him up recently, scored a ridiculous amount of goals in Australia apparently. I believe he is the league’s all time leading scorer. Not great opposition but shows there was something there. I know he had injuries with us but never given a run in the side. Seems like such a was...

John Bond, and everyone he brought with him, especially Steve Daley . With the exceptions of Denis Tueart & Tommy Hutchinson. I can’t believe you’ve put Tommy Hutchinson there.

I share the sentiments of the article. He gave me something I never thought I’d have... Burnley back in the top flight. I sat in Wembley in a haze. Pinching myself to see if it was real.

A nostalgic watch, thanks, two poor defences turned up on a typical muddy Turf Moor. Adamson and Blacklaw didn’t cover themselves in glory! Couldn’t agree more.
