    There's no denying that I loved the Lambert years and was heartbroken when he left, then he wanted money as well, then he celebrated in front of us and the love evaporated. After several iffy spells around the Premiership he ended up down the road, a step too far.

    Watching him take them down to division 3 and failure to get Promoted was truly joyful and as already mentioned, the rivalry is all but dead as a contest for the foreseeable.  

    What gives me the most pleasure,  as someone who had to suffer their 'glory days' is a cheeky peek on TWTD to witness the delusional entitlement of their fans, many of whom weren't even born when they were relevant.

    What I do find hilarious is their pitchfork waving bleats that it is all Lambert’s fault....it is it all down to Hurst, or McCarthy

    Never, the recognition that their grubby little club has had it's moment in the sun and this is actually their level

    Yes, the ;mighty town who have spent the last 40 odd years being a non achieving grubby little club in the arz end of nowhere 0 who have also spent millions of pounds of other people's money trying to stave off that reality

    Not sure I'd put it quite like that but it's true that they did nothing before 1960 and nothing after 1982, so a 22 year hiatus,  yet they bang on about their history,  using words like tradition,  like it gives them the right to beat Swindon on a Saturday afternoon (it doesn't).

    Truth is, they've been left behind, returning to the footballing backwater that they were before Ramsey and Robson gave them some memories. It's sad really, that so many of them spend more time living in the late 70s than the reality of today.

    Still, even flares and mullets were popular, once.😜

    Says something about L1 that the Scum can lose 7 out of 19 games and still be within 3 points of the play off positions.

    This, I wish the Teams around them would show some form and put them away. Then again, if they got all the way to Wembley and got tonked in an empty Stadium, that would be worth watching.

    What is concerning is how difficult it is to survive in the Premiership nowadays, we got buried last year and if we do go up we're likely to be installed as favourites to go back down. 

    Even big spending Villa only just survived last season and Leeds, another supposedly big Club have had to spend big to keep above the red line, with no guarantee that will see them safe next year.

    Being a yo yo Club is our place, atm, it's going to be tough getting beyond that, we're going to need good management just to prevent things going the other way and ending up like that lot down the road.

    He was never more than a good Championship striker, he had several seasons in the Premiership with various Clubs and the goals evaporated. At his age League One is ideal, he's not as quick but his years at a higher level gives him the nous to prosper. Good luck to him,  but not for us anymore.

    I agree with virtually all you say.

    However I was not criticising the playing ability of Cantwell & Buendia. They both have the ability to become outstanding players wherever they go, but I stand by my criticism of their attitudes last season which, I feel, contributed little to the improvement of their own skills or the overall team performances.

    With the countries current economic problems, even the big boys becoming ever more careful of committing millions to new players. I understand that boards are increasingly looking at the attitude & commitment levels of potential new buys before spending big money on them. This may explain why neither player moved clubs during the last transfer window.

    The attitude that both players are currently showing is definitely benefiting us & the fact they they are both again enjoying their games must be good for them in attracting serious interest from potential buyers & will still be good for us in the higher transfer fees they will probably then command. 

    To repeat myself from my first post, seeing out the current season with us & staying for another full Premier League season before looking for a move, will probably benefit both them & us. They are still very young men & a season playing for us must surely be better than warming the bench most of the time at a 'bigger' club?

    Little tip, if you're looking for responses, try keeping it a little shorter, too much to cover in your initial post,but most welcome nonetheless. 

    With regards Emi and Todd, I feel you've answered your own question, that last year they were very young and had very little experience around them, and that's without all the injuries the Club had to contend with. 

    From what we're seeing atm, it's apparent that they've both done a lot of growing up over the last year or so, hopefully we can hold on to them long enough to enjoy that maturity next season.
