    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    I have never been a Semedo fan, especially given what he cost, but this season he has been fantastic and would now be a massive loss if he were to go. However he is replaceable and I think we could get a similar player with similar attributes for the same amount of money we received for him...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    Rui definite regressed in his last season here after being brilliant in his first two and it appeared, from the highlights I saw, that this continued into his first Roma season where numerous mistakes were shown. I did though seem as if in the latter part of his first Roma season and into his...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    I know and this is why I could see it being accepted [if indeed the bid did materialise]. However as a fan and someone who 'thinks' there would be better ways to raise £60m from this squad, I hope a) it doesn't happen (I think it will, even if it's not from Man United) and b) if it did we would...

    The Summer 2024 Transfer Thread.

    I think he is one of the three that we 'must' try to keep [Cunha, RAN, Gomes] and so don't think £60m is anywhere near enough. I do appreciate though that a player* would want this move and therefore £60m 'would' be sufficient. * Jeff and Matt will also see that this represents proof that their...

    Just because we can't spot what is and what isn't a £35m player, it doesn't mean that Forest can or that MGW was worth £35m last summer. He might be pushing up in value now [still wouldn't want to pay that much for him personally] but no way was he worth that a year ago given his output to date...

    [FA Cup Quarter-Final] Wolves 2-3 Coventry: Verdict Thread

    The concourses inside and outside are fine but the local pubs restaurants are really not great. The lower tier is way too shallow meaning that by the time you get any height above pitch level you are way back from the action. In a ground like the Bernabeu you can be in the fourth or fifth tier...

    Favourite Caribbean Island

    I would accidentally book it while there's cricket on. Watching cricket in the Windies is one of the best things I've ever done, especially if there are plenty of locals in the ground.

    [FA Cup Quarter-Final] Wolves 2-3 Coventry: Verdict Thread

    I don't particularly like the [Wembley] stadium, the surroundings are terrible from a fan experience, it's very expensive and getting there and back it often a nightmare given the kick off times. But I'm absolutely gutted that we're not going. This was a massive chance missed as QF home draws...

    O'Neil In, Out and Shaking it all about

    We all assume that Neto will be one and the policy is okay if the other is Hwang, Dawson and at a push Kilman [because of the fee he would potentially attract]. If the 'other' is one of Gomes, Cunha, Lemina or RAN we have serious issues. Sarabia, Semedo, Toti, Hugo Bueno, Santi Bueno and Sa...

    The Goggle Box Thread

    I've been called up twice relatively recently and never actually made the courtroom either time as I've been the only [someone just didn't turn up] 'spare' once and one of two spares the second time. What worried me most was the ability/intelligence of the 12 chosen! You go through an extremely...

    When the away end was opposite [sort of in the corner of the Tilton] to where it is now. Was actually safer getting out in those days and back to the station. All the goals at the far end? I had just started working in Birmingham and a couple of mates and I met some of my new work colleagues...

    The Football News Thread 2023/24

    The figure is definitely 'skewed' because of that [the new capacity is being quoted despite it being unavailable until a few games ago]. As to whether they then decide to sell ST in that area or not is another matter (1,000 extra was hinted). Although even with their 'old' capacity the...

    Kids pricing is really still quite good. Not at the £1 a game levels we had for U5's ten or twelve years ago but still decent. Just remember to register his younger brother as well who is born about five years behind him ;)
