I have to say that watching a few highlights and fan;s views has confirmed something that I've thought for a while. We really do have the ugliest fans in the world.
This is an extract from Peter's forthcoming book 'How To Make Friends And Influence People 2.'

It's annoying when you get that glare on your TV so it reflects back to you.

It's a very unfair comment when footage from St Andrews doesn't provide a large enough sample size of human faces for a meaningful comparison.

Outside of honest graft, it's difficult to see why Weds and Huddersfield are so high up the table, it's also bloody annoying.

If Balloon Head hadn't given the opposition an eleven game start and left us without a midfield it wouldn't be a concern.

If we'd have wanted him, we'd have got him.

He was massively unimpressive.

Undoubtedly on both counts. But it's wrong to say Bruce didn't want him.

He didn't want to spend £12m on him. He was more than happy to spend north of £6m on him.

How much did he actually go for in the end or was it one of those 'undisclosed fee' jobs?

thank goodness we spent what we did on Kodjia though, the one thing RDM did get right - without his goals this season we'd be fucked.

Put it this way. Boro can't score any goals but still thought Rudy Gestede was a better bet at Premier League level. Hogan looks a much better prospect.

I agree about Hogan. I'd be more disappointed to lose him than Kodjia.

We would be near to relegation without Kodjas 15 goals.So I don't really understand your logic.

What happened to Forresteri yesterday, he generally makes Wednesday tick and scored the winner in August although they have spent a lot on their squad. Massive failure for them if they miss out on the play offs.

I think Hogan will be much better for us than McCormack but he just strikes me as a finisher from what I saw in the Barnsley game and we're not great at creating huge amount of chances yet.

I prefer forwards who can create chances for themselves and Kodjia is great at that so I'd continue with him upfront on his own.

Correct, and Steve Bruce said in his email the other day that if he hadn't got Hogan he'd have increased his bid for Rhodes.

he does create for himself and isn't just a finisher. He also runs the channels well and offers a lot more variety than Kodjia does. I think Hogan will develop into a fine striker and one that will score goals in the top flight - hopefully it's with us.
