They should have run away with it but had a collapse with a few games to go.

They had a dip in form around March/April but still won 5 of their last 6

Ipswich won 14 and drew 2 of their last 16 to overhaul them

I'm sure I read the other day they might play at MK Dons stadium if they go up I haven't seen that but if they do make to the PL you'd have thought playing at Kenilworth Road would give them a much better chance of survival than if they switched to MK Assuming the PL have given them the OK bearing ...

There was a really good feature about him on Clarets Player a few months back

He came across extremely well. Seemed like an intelligent player who understands the need to be able to take on the detailed instructions that enable us to deliver such fluid football

EarbyClaret

Work on a 23k capacity stadium on the site of a former power station in the town centre scheduled to start by the end of the year As has been mentioned estimated £10M spend to bring Kenilworth Road up to PL standard. Think they need to redevelopment the stand along one side that looks like it consis...

isn't the Blackpool job vacant

Think Gary Bowyer is lined up for a return to Blackpool

Resigned as Dundee manager immediately after securing the title by winning at Queens Park

EarbyClaret

Eddie Nketiah or Deniz Undav maybe

EarbyClaret

So it’s massively interesting to me how VKs approach is also working so far. It’s the same in some ways; also team based on togetherness, where the players all seem to put the collective before themselves, with a clear (albeit different) style - plus the hard work, which seems to take place more in...

Unless they have been posted already:

Personal Jesus - Johnny Cash
Walk On By - Stranglers

The 'Argentina' kit was about 1995 I think. The Adidas away kits from that era were good - the yellow/claret one in the Waddle season too

EarbyClaret

Dark Globe - Syd Barrett

EarbyClaret

Always liked the away kit from around 1974 - dark blue with claret trim. As worn in the 4-1 win at Leeds

EarbyClaret

Claretspice's team - only question mark might be around Beyer's CB partner

EarbyClaret

As this is a Red Button game assuming it should be on Now TV - as was the case with Hull

Can't find it at the moment - last time it was in the Planner section - anyone else know if it is showing?

Thank you

EarbyClaret

Really good interview and quite an insight into how VK has developed the mentality of the group You'd like to think VK feels the prospect of continuing that work with us in the PL would be a better bet for his long term career prospects than trying to shape what Conte described as a selfish/entitled...

Apologies if posted already - haven't seen it

To clear up the confusion from another thread Ekdal and Jay both on the pitch at the end - dressed very similarly

EarbyClaret

United at home is the best game we could have hoped for after Friday - there's no way we relax or lose focus

A win tonight would effectively settle the title race

Also assume Luton are going to win this afternoon so there will be no complacency from United either

EarbyClaret

Wouldn't be resting JBG for this one. Benson off the bench a great option

Looks like THB will start but think Ekdal better suited to deal with any aerial threat

No Brownhill in the game at Bramhall Lane - we have the physicality to cope with United this time without sacrificing our usual game plan

EarbyClaret

Warnock has got them into a great position compared to the state they were in when he took over

With his experience can't see them going down. Remaining fixtures don't look too bad

Last two games are at home to United who will be promoted by then and Reading on the final day

EarbyClaret

-------------Muric------------ Roberts--THB--Beyer----Maatsen JBG -- Cullen--Brownhill--Zaroury ---------Tella---Barnes------------ Same team (except THB and Muric in) and shape as our dominant 3-0 away win at Norwich. JBG on the right due to their main threat of Giles at left wing back. Agreed tha...

Was Hull a red button game

I watched that on Now TV and it was decent. Basic coverage but picture/sound quality very good

Who is missing from the list above then? Rodriguez, Churlinov, Foster & Taylor are all that spring to mind. Losing track of the wider squad

All Dakhil, Bastien and Dervisoglu

EarbyClaret

That Scotland kit had me thinking Home Internationals early 1970s - very classy

Would be good if England reverted to their similar iconic kit from the same era

EarbyClaret

Idiot Box - The Damned is about Television and name checks Billy Ficca, Richard Lloyd and Fred Smith

EarbyClaret

Quite a liberal sprinkling from the Sleaford Mods too:

Kebab Spider - Johnny Ramones and Madonna
Flipside - Graham Coxon and the UK Subs
Tied Up In Nottz - Journey - or "f***ing Journey" to be precise

EarbyClaret

Think Bob Dylan is winning so far

Ready Steady Go by Generation X - the Beatles, the Stones and Bob Dylan

Neil Young/Crazy Horse - Out Of The Blue - Johnny Rotten

EarbyClaret

Bob Dylan Blues - Syd Barrett

Lots of Fall songs - Shoulder Pads (Lou Reed and Doug Yule) What You Need (Iggy Pop)

EarbyClaret

Muric starts for Kosovo away to Israel

Defeat for Rochdale at Crawley would appear to consign them to the National League

They have an AFCON qualifier on Tuesday

Interesting item from the BBC Sport website

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64906797

I can't really think beyond Heaton and Pope for us - if I had to pick one it would be Pope from Traore at Villa Park last season. Amazing stop in such a vital game

EarbyClaret

Ipswich were keen on loaning Twine in the January window and there might have been some mileage in that until his free kick against West Brom which everyone hoped would be a turning point for him here If Ipswich go up that might be a move that suits everyone. Regular game time in a team who play a s...

Cambridgeshire - Pink Floyd

If it was anyone else but City VK would stick with BPF - think it will be Muric

Apologies if there's already a thread on this and I've missed it

Looking at the available options and thinking of using the Metrolink park and ride at Ashton

Any thoughts from those with local knowledge

Thank you

Dara Costelloe assist for Bradford's goal

This is a new team both on and off the pitch compared to our seasonal PL beatings under SD The players - and of course manager - will be massively up for this and will rise to the challenge City should be too good for us but expecting us play our normal game as best we can and give us all a night to...

EarbyClaret

Injuries have started to make us look a bit disjointed We probably need to get to the international break as best we can and then regroup Taylor at LB is our best option in Maatsen's absence. A Cork/Cullen combination in CM is better than anyone else at this level has available to them JBG is well s...

EarbyClaret

I thought it was illness kept him out previously - before Fleetwood

His injury was sustained either during are after that game - which meant he wasn't available yesterday

Three league games between now and then we could have played ourselves into an even stronger league position by the time we go to the Etihad Completely different situation and mindset from recent visits City will still be going head to head with Arsenal for the title and at the business end of the C...

EarbyClaret

Personally I think this a good thing Pep is only saying what the rest of us are thinking If they have earmarked VK for the City job they will want him to develop in an environment where he is allowed to build a club based on the City model - which I think buys us 2/3 years to maybe re-establish ours...

EarbyClaret

Tella and Churlinov both stretched the game when they were introduced and as such spaces started to appear and we put the Fleetwood goal under much more pressure I think the shape of the team as equally as important as the personnel. I'd be inclined to revert to the Cork, Cullen and Brownhill triang...

EarbyClaret

Got a soft spot for them after all they have been through and last 10 years or so aside their league status has mirrored ours reasonably closely To think earlier in the season we were maybe the happier with the 3-3 at TM than they were and now they'd settle for a low scoring home defeat on Saturday ...

Blackpool - but it's rare to be excited about the league and cup in the same season 2008/09 was the last time. Before that 82/83. FA Cup QF when we should have beaten Wednesday (then a top Division One team) at TM before capitulation in the replay. League Cup SF lost 3-0 to an imperious Liverpool si...

Focus has to be on tomorrow before we get ahead of ourselves If we were to play Rovers at Wembley in a cup semi final or even final I'd hope a shared sense of occasion between two proper clubs might overcome the hostile edge Or is that just naive Still think Vincent is destined to go head to head wi...

When was the last time the BBC screened us live in the FA Cup

Was it Arsenal game we lost 2-0 and Lafferty got a red card - maybe 2008?

EarbyClaret

I would go with Goobs' team above and a strong bench With all due respect to Fleetwood the worst that should happen is that the game is level and VK has to introduce game changers from 60 minutes onwards The Watford, Luton and Millwall games were as tough as a week gets at this level and with the in...

In Neil Warnock's autobiography he says he was interviewed for the Burnley job but didn't get it

He doesn't say when that was or who was successful. The indication was he would have taken it if offered

Best guess would be when Howe succeeded Laws
