  1. If it all pans out for them, they'll just become another mid table mediocre Premiership side who won't be able to compete at the top level, every Club has a ceiling. If it all goes wrong, see Portsmouth, Blackburn, Swansea, Stoke and Reading who all had extended spells in the Premiership, couldn't compete financially and were relegated.... ..... if you think the last administration was detrimental, this time it would be devastating.....
  2. ..... they're going to struggle to fill it playing Rotherham and Millwall on a wet Tuesday in February......
  3. After the draw at Portaloo, we were 21 points behind them, nothing has changed, so we've nothing to fear from them, of course, it's at home...... and we're beasts at home, bring it on.....
  4. If your starting point is Manchester, any City would be an improvement.....
  5. Let's face it, if he was any good, he wouldn't be back up........ at Stoke.
  6. I remember going to Stoke when Grant was in charge, he thought the Doc could play defensive midfield......... we lost 5-0. That day they attracted 14,000, their biggest home crowd up to that point in the season, after Pulis got them promoted, their support almost doubled....... tinpot. ..... reminds me of our neighbors, they've suddenly turned up now the injection of some cash has brought some success..... like I say, tinpot.
  7. Tell you what, don't mess with Cardiff, growing up in South London in the late 70s I witnessed their "passion" They view every away game as an invasion, (except Swansea)..... coming to England is an opportunity for revenge, not sure why but they were always really "up for it" ..... of course, Millwall were always happy to accommodate them.....
  8. Truth is, they've been bang average throughout their history, apart from a 20 year hiatus, they've done nothing..... but they can't stop talking about it. As someone mentioned, two years ago, they were struggling to attract 14,000 through the gate, now it's double that, tinpot Club,tinpot fans.....
  9. We should never have sold Robert Fleck to Chelsea......... and we should never have bought him back.
  10. ...... watch his replacement have a blinder☹️
  11. Apart from Banks and Shilton the rest are much of a muchness... surprised Alex Stepney didn't get a mention and Gordon West was a better 'keeper than Bonetti, if he'd gone to Mexico we would have made the final.....
  12. ....anyone else remember the numbered tabs that Leeds wore on their socks, back in the early/mid seventies?😜
  13. I used to be a London cabbie.... Norwich doesn't have traffic, period.....
  14. If he wins us the World Cup they'll put it on the 4th plinth in Trafalgar Square....
  15. I think Kevin Keelan was pretty cheap..... Kevin Reeves was 50k, sold for a million, good business....
  16. ..... I remember a game at CR against Man U, 10 minutes from the end the announcer came on to inform the visiting fans that the last train to London was at 6.20, or whatever, a huge cheer went up.... Manchester United are a franchise, as you've pointed out, a large proportion of their fanbase are not from Manchester they could play anywhere and sell out.... we don't need to be financing another stadium in Manchester.. I'd be more inclined to build something in Birmingham, our second City, large population, plenty of Clubs to use it, concerts etc and with Villa becoming a force again perhaps that could be a way forward. Regards England, it's more central for players and fans alike.....
  17. Never forgave Hodgson for not picking Holty for the Euros in 2012, Rooney was banned for the first 2 games and Holt was the next highest scorer in the Premiership that season, 17 I think, instead he took Andy Carroll who had scored 5 and spent most of the season on the bench at Anfield..... unsurprisingly we never got out of the group.
  18. ..... and they'd make the kick off at 4am on a Monday.....
  19. The Manchester derby doesn't exist..... as most United fans live anywhere but Manchester....
