Wouldnt class working 12 hours on a Friday night lucky . Will still be going the game after a bit of sleep

I thought you were missing it because of work. Have a good trip.

Sounds like the move away has done them good. Hope they win at Wembley James played in League Two for Mansfield and Alex in Leagues One and Two for Morecambe, Bury, Chesterfield and Grimsby but now in the National League and doing well. Best thing for them was leaving us to get first team football ...

Funny thing is, the ones who would comment that seriously go awfully quiet when you suggest that they could organise such a do themselves in aid of BFCITC, should they wish. Its a big do, to raise funds. It really is a no brainer to do it where they do. It shouldn't, imo be instead of a Player's aw...

Sorry can I now cancel these, we've had our shifts at work changed so will miss the coach set off time.

Take away some cheesy lyrics, in their second language, and the music is fantastic. They even wrote some great lyrics. The Winner Takes It All and Supertrouper being up there. I love music but I'm no musician and when it comes to singing I'm tone deaf - but I was once told by someone who did sing, ...

For any info ahead of game at Manchester United other than tickets and coach travel.

Yet according to our manager, speaking to BBC after the match, we have been the better side over all of the last six games and could have been looking at an 18 points haul

I heard that - fair to say that I don't agree with him

ClaretTony

I'm firmly of the view that we need a director of football/technical director/sporting director - but its not Kompany. Its someone who can challenge and peer review Kompany’s thinking (as Head Coach) from an informed perspective, particularly when it comes to transfer strategy. Concentrating so muc...

No sign of him again yesterday. We had 23 players warming up on the pitch before the game. The starting eleven, the nine subs plus Hjalmar Ekdal, Han-Noah Massengo and Charlie Casper.

actually, in Dyche's first season the outcome was the same - relegation.

With hardly a penny spent because the money was going to the training ground.

If you're a masochist - you can watch the entire 1974 Eurovision Song Contest on BBC Four this evening.

I'll happily give that a miss

ClaretTony

I tend to agree with this but I'd also expect us to be shifting at least 2 centre backs this summer as we have far too many. Plus Brownhill and Roberts whose contract situations make them likely departures. If the question is who has enhanced their reputation this season so as to generate a profit,...

ClaretTony

Good read Tony and we are definitely gone now, like **** down the River. We were awful and I almost predicted what would happen against a team that was almost as bad as us but were organised with some good defenders. I'd allowed myself to get a bit carried away with not losing in four games. I real...

Which is not all that different to the previous manager

I think it's a lot different to the previous manager in his last three or four years

ClaretTony

Can’t score him as I didn’t go but it was a definite red card for me. Also thought we got lucky as I expected a penalty to be be given against us, can’t remember who our player was that caught their player, maybe Jay? Seen it all now - still a red for me and we were perhaps fortunate to avoid a pen...

ClaretTony

Two defenders who played in our youth and then under-23 teams before moving on. Both have played in the Football League and both are now playing for Solihull Moors in the National League. Besides being in the play-off positions for a potential promotion into the league, yesterday they won their FA T...

ClaretTony

I’m not generally his biggest fan but thought he had an excellent game today. I haven’t seen the red card incident again so if he got it wrong then his marks might well have been lower than I’m giving.

Absolutely flat after that performance. To give a goal away like that with 20 seconds of the first half remaining was downright ridiculous and the second half performance wasn’t even inept.

They have to preserve the 'Cottage' by order I believe - it would make development difficult.

Both the cottage and the Stevenage Road stand are listed buildings I believe. That was always one of the issues at Highbury with two of the stands there listed buildings.

Bramall Lane dates back to 1855, i seem to recall, but don't know how old the stands are.

The two side stands and the away end have all been built since I first went. The Shoreham Street end was covered terracing then but I think it's a new roof at least.

Good question - I saw him get injured in a game and I don’t think he’s played since

Wow!

Any other articles written Tony?

Nothing as yet

ClaretTony

As we visit Goodison tomorrow, for possibly the last ever time, it got me thinking how many old grounds/stands there are left. The Bullens Rd stand was opened in 1926. Are there any older?? I can only think of Kenilworth Road and maybe parts of Villa Park that remain in the Premier League Not sure ...

Fabrizio Romano says we're signing him on a free in the Summer. Agreed a 4 year deal.

22 year old right back from PSV.

Deal was done a while ago I think, article was written in Feb. I think he’s signed a pre-contract.
