That was the first thing I thought of when I first saw Josh play. I've got over it now.

The Mamma Mia Stand is funny - naming our stand the Totally Wicked Bob Lord Stand I thought was downright shameful.

Team second half

Lewis Thomas, Moore, Jake Rooney, Matthew Carson, Jackson, Trialist, Dylan Moonan, Ratchford, Hamilton, Tremaine Eastmond, Joe McGlynn.

I'm assuming that Moore, Jackson, Ratchford & Hamilton are all under-16s.

If something’s been recently passed then I don’t know. Lee Hoos told me about the base line but that was back in 2014/15.

Steve Thompson for me. Free transfer, scored vital goals and was just an all round perfect fit for the club. I think he should have been used more after the promotion. Paterson also scored a lot of goals but we paid over a million for him so Thommo gets it. Thompson is a cracking shout and I’d now ...

Russian money keeping them afloat.Sounds like a mini Chelsea.How on earth are Bournemouth staying in the fair play ruled with gates of 11,000 and paying Wilson £100,000?Surely its a case of income way below outgoings and therefore breaking the ffp rules?

Is Bournemouth’s owner just donating money or is it a loan arrangement that can be written off ? Just wondering what happens when he pops his clogs and whether it could be another Bolton situation. Others on here would probably be able to answer that. He did sell some of the club to Americans but t...

In the days when we used to play them, I always referred to their ground by listing all the sponsors they’d had for it.

Okay so why give them a season of misery? If they have a 21 point deduction then unless something miraculous happens they will go down, so just send them to league two straight away and promote the play-off runners up, that way they might just give the fans something to cheer about. The only thing ...

What is the point of the fit and proper owner test if the EFL don't scrutinise potential owners before they get their feet under the table,shows it's not worth the paper it's written on.

Wade came in 2005, almost 6 years before Howe came. I’m told they didn’t get on very well in their Bournemouth days.

Awesome name

The club refer to him as Chris but he uses Cricky and he played under that name for Glentoran.

Team for first half is: Trialist, Joel Senior, Bobby Thomas, Scott Wilson, Anthony Glennon, Tunde Bayode, Trialist, Ben Woods, Cricky Conn-Clarke, Trialist, Rob Harker.

I'm assuming trialist 1 is the goalkeeper from Norwich and the third trialist is Mumbongo. No idea on the other.

It's fashionable to criticise him but the simple fact is we played some terrific football that season and I still believe he'd have taken us up but for the Reeves injury.

I was working with Peter Thornes brother at the time of the game. Certainly his family and many other Norwich fans wanted Burnley to win so Worthington got potted.

One definite was Nigel Worthington at Norwich in 2006. We won 4-1 at Carrow Road and he’d lost his job by the time we got back to the car.

Wasn’t McClaren sacked at Forest soon after we’d beaten them 5-1 in 2011?

They can afford to spend that sort of money on arguably their most important player.
