We used to play at Stourbridge Leisure Centre each Sunday morning, first few weeks we were almost fighting over the chance to go in goal. My proudest moment was when Clint Mansell lobbed me, I'm 6 foot 4.

Wish it had been like that with my lot. One time I went in goal to give the guy a chance to play out and then nobody would let do the same for me. I spent most of the game in goal, trying to get someone to do have their turn and let me out.

I used to hate that. Usually the goal-hangers who didn't put the graft in were the ones that never went in goal.

Huth? 33 years. Out of Contract.  Has he recovered from his ankle injury?

Or from being a useless lump

I was impressed with the huge guy Wigan had (black guy with Blonde hair) at CB - he was a beast and kept Kodjia and RHM quiet - lots of pace as well

Just checked - Cedric Kipre - 22 yro bought last season from Motherwell

It's contingent on me beating Jedinak in a sprint from one side of the pitch to the other, so I'll be making my debut on Saturday. Old enough to be RHM's dad, more hair than Hutton, and better at getting through my gates than McCormack, Bruce will love me.

Clint was a good player, but more glory boy than grafter, might be worth a bid. His hair stank though.

I think he means the Yeovil player.

I also tripped over my own feet and misplaced at least 50% of my attempted passes, but still.

I thought he was awful! I thought Wigan would probably have got something out of that game but for him.

You oldies are deluded. Free up some space for those of us who still have a small chance.

Let go of the apron strings sonny, you need to step to play at this level.

Be a real man, like Grant Holt.

He'd did also score a beauty, so it's more likely to be Connor.

I tell you what, I receive the ball and turn bloody brilliantly; instep, through the legs, between two men then curled one onto the bar. Drop of the shoulder, Grealish learned everything from me....
