Do you know, you learn something every day. What with that and Dave Whelan breaking his leg in a cup final.

Without any question he would improve us.

Docherty was only a teenager and Waldron wasn't a lot older. I'd suspect they are the two youngest.

ClaretTony

It's a serious mess and after all this they are still being run by a very distasteful man who now might have to sell a player to pay back the latest investors he's tried to stitch up. What was seemingly a well run club under Nigel Doughty, Fawaz came in during summer 2012 and has now gone through ni...

Lost a lot of respect for Guardiola after his press conference when they very luckily beat us. Really enjoyed that, now my love of Manchester United will be willing a Merseyside double.

Loan from Newcastle. They messed us about and we signed Grant.

Once heard Brian Labone asked who was the hardest player he'd ever placed. He said something like: My job was to kick the centre forward at the first opportunity. Some went crying to the ref, others went missing and you'd beaten them. Some gave you a game. Then there was Lochhead at Burnley - he wou...

Be careful for what you wish for. A true story from a few years back. A bloke at work was in the club shop with his lad buying him a Burnley shirt. The shirt was about £20 then and the lad asked if he could have a name on it, after confirming that each letter cost £1.50 he agreed and asked which na...

Game held up for 11 minutes yesterday after he suffered a head injury in Chesterfield's win against Coventry. Chesterfield have reported this morning that Tom's had a CT scan which showed nothing of concern and he's back home.

I'd agree it does leave us short up front with only three players available. I would think we might look to try and fill that gap with another loan or a permanent signing. Just over half an hour on the pitch in six sub appearances. He's going to have to get himself some football somewhere and soon I...

Palace 8/1

Palace favourites with Brady though according to the contact in Ireland.

ClaretTony

So yes. We need to sign players this window. Slowly building the squad and getting the players that we want in when we can is great, but we are on a sound financial footing. We have an opportunity here. If we fail to take it there is absolutely no guarantee that we will come back up again. Yes, I k...

Not confirmed by club as yet but Bamford departure gives us an extra loan option

There are six or seven clubs in for him.

As for needing to sign someone - what we need to do is to keep slowly building the squad and getting the players that we want in when we can.

Chris Hughton says Albion cannot use Dale Stephens’ absence as an excuse for defeat at Preston. The midfielder, who usually loves trips back to his native North West, pulled out of the match with illness.

Surprised that he didn't start in the middle and clearly not his ideal role. Worst midfielder on the pitch though was (sadly) Deano Was told this morning that Defour would be playing wide, I wouldn't have thought it was likely otherwise. Agree with Lancaster, I'm a big Marney fan but he was way off...

ClaretTony

I never understood the negativity towards him in the first place but he's certainly looking the part now. He's given us some outstanding performances in the last couple of months.

Joey Barton tonight has said: "I just love playing for this football club and intend to enjoy every minute of it because I've realised just by not being here how special it is."

ClaretTony

They are two top blokes too - sad to see Andy walking with a stick now but he's a lot better than he was a few months ago. It's also brilliant to see them both still with a big interest in the Clarets.

ClaretTony

I saw these two outside today and they reckoned they could form a good partnership up front. I'm not so sure.

Wasn't long after that when Chappy lost his hair. The pic is, I think, from his debut in April 2003 and he'd gone bald by the time he came back for pre-season that year.

The new owner had Gary Rowett to come in immediately as manager but Rowett has now said he's no longer interested under the current ownership.

ClaretTony

He's not a player who has concerned himself with geography too much - Manchester United to Hull to Norwich so far. The one thing for sure, if you play for Norwich and leave, you have to move.

ClaretTony

One of the biggest problems we had with 'print your own' was fans selecting that option and then turning up on match day to collect tickets having not printed them. Some then complained to the ticket office staff asking them how they could print them when they didn't have a printer.

Sunderland use a barcode entry system but unmanned i.e. you don't hand over the ticket to a steward to scan like we do but scan it yourself, but they put on a cash turnstile for away fans last week didn't they? Not strictly, you still had to buy a ticket. What they do have at Sunderland, which we d...

To answer the question - no idea. I was expecting the list to be sent to the supporters clubs, as is the norm, which would have allowed me to list them on here. That has not arrived this year. Certainly in programme and on big screen.

And still being here, I've changed the thread title.

Hopeful of the Bob Lord next week and I would suspect the rest of them will not take too long then. I would hope by March/April we could have them all done.

We've had problems with the Forest owner at Burnley and that's apart from his clowning around over Lansbury. Not a very pleasant man at all.
