In what way is Guzan dopey?

For fucks sake, the standard of our new recruits is shocking.


And a warm welcome to you, too.


They have to earn the welcome of Mazrim.


Oh for the little man with the rolling eyes. You clearly set the bar so high Mazrim, something to really strive for.


Rolling eyes back atcha. Anyway, striving for my standards is better than striving to be miniwoodhall surely?

Oh for the little smiley man.



Nice, and that is surely an aspiration for all but having 2 children means any aspirations are quashed by a duty bound requirement to spend money. Sorry to disappoint.

I doubt if this  phrase is grammatically correct!

I know all clubs are the same, but I'd love to know why they never use the squad numbers as the training numbers.

I missed an apostrophe. So?

Gabby and Ash are very good compared with the shiite that went to South Africa however our best player next season once he recovers will be Fab Delph.


Apart from the lack of correct punctuation, you seem to be comparing our players to a branch of Islam.

We all make mistakes though, yes? That's why I try not to criticise people's grammar too much.

Dunno why, but seeing that pic of Luke in training made me smile. I hope he's still got a future here.

Same here.  I don't want a new right back.  Luke is one of the best around.

At the very least his versatility makes him ideal squad cover for both Warnock and any new RB.  I'd like to keep him, but if he wants to go then let him.

That's how I see it, John. We may sign a new RB but in that case, Luke is worth keeping to cover RB and LB (I'm assuming Shorey will almost certainly leave). Weighing it all up, I'd rather we kept Luke than had to shop around for full-back cover... again.

If I was him I would have pissed off a long time ago.  

Another season of Cuellar at RB is not my idea of fun.
