You've been waiting 9 months to post that? Er, congratulations!

More likely I didn't think it was worth starting a new thread for this relatively small news item - but I'm happy to accept your congratulations!

I was astonished that you were able to remember a pretty minor thread from last september.

Sorry to shatter your sense of reality, but all of these threads are pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.

I think he is pretty good captain. Maybe if he loses his starting place next season, which is most likely to happen, Dunne can be our new captain on the pitch.

Jesus, I hope not.  Why replace one player on their way down with another one.
If we play three in midfield I would not be against Petrov keeping his place in the team.  Where is lacking in mobility he makes up for in tactical awareness and decent passing.

I think he could effectively protect the back four allowing Delph and Makoun to buzz around higher up the pitch.

To be fair, you're the one that brought it up again.

Sorry, I don't understand. Did you want me to start a new thread for this 'news item' or not?

Ah, do what you like. I was ribbing you a bit for having a Rainman-like memory for threads and its all gone hideously wrong.
