I know the thread was supposed too be trades within their names but went in two directions, whilst we’re on the other trade topic in the early 90’s I used to get my haircut at a little hairdressers salon on Narborough Road. It was run by a dad, son and daughter, all nice people and I’d always talk to them about City. One day the son said “Dad used to play for them”. I never asked their name but in recent years it bugged me, I nearly asked Birch as he might know. Any ideas who this may have been? May have been a reserve or youth, may have been a legend, nice guy regardless.

Points? Points? What are these strange things you speak of ?

As we’re promoting from within, this loyal guy is currently 3rd in charge at the moment, responsible for set pieces, defensive shape drills and half time motivational speaking. Also keeping cats and pigeons off the pitch.

Along with Tielemans performance I could never forgive him after Fulham away in the first relegation season. Mate, if you want to just watch the game buy a ticket like everyone else. Just gave up, the pair of them, no interest in tracking or chasing, should never have played for the club again S**t, he’s gone and he’s still making me angry!

But that run, away to Ipswich where he was like a footballing Jonah Lomu Worth every penny of his four year deal on it’s own.

If the Soumare talks are moving slowly that would be very very appropriate

Vestergaard - security at an undergarment factory

Dean Sturridge was better than brother Simon (Birmingham City) but not as good as nephew Daniel.

Phil Turner Mike Hooper (on loan) - Makes hoops for casks and barrels, he said off the top oh his head not googling professions

Alan / Bobby Smith

Dennis Wise was regularly mistaken for being the kid brother of our former loanee Paul Kerr, Juan.

Scott was good but didn’t get much opportunity to showaddy could do

Wayne Clarke, George Hurst

Until last weekend West Ham were leaving Ward-Prowse out of their squad (he was on the bench at the weekend due to a shortage of numbers) - how about proposing a loan swap deal? Not saying Winks is PL quality but it’s in his precious London , we’d get a similar player that we can actually use

For those who are struggling with translation, recalling my GCSE French (E grade) I can confirm it says nothing about directions to the swimming pool or buying a kilo of pears from the market and it ends up saying in Leicester there will be celebration party's organised by someone called Les. I think .

Mavididi. At the start of the season with our CF options being what they are I declared my bet for top scorer this season would be Mavididi with 12-14 goals from out wide, remembering him looking a regular goal threat last time in this league. I hadn’t allowed for James’ huge contribution but I’d still be way off the mark with Mavididi. When he fancies it he can have opponents on toast but too often this and last season he’s just lukewarm making up the numbers. Starting to think he’d be a better no.10 than Reid, with Monga on the left or the two alternating during games.

Application received from the Pep influenced Steviano Coopieri

Come on, hasn’t anyone spotted Solskjaer in Morrisons, Sam Allardyce in Greggs or David Pleat in Highfields yet?

This is a football thread, not ‘oche !

One great moment - When Monga went round his full back through skill and the angle of his running more than pace and put a cross across the 6 yard box, classic wing play just not read by his team mates. One WTF moment - after more tedious chuckle brothers passing Vestergaard fizzed a decent long ball up to Ayew getting us 20 yards further up the pitch. Without a look around at his options Ayew drilled it straight back, past Vestergaard to Okoli meaning we’d lost 10 yards of territory rather than gained anything. Just cowardly not wanting the ball, usually in that situation he’d dig his heels in, wait for support and at least draw a foul, yesterday he just didn’t fancy it,

local lad, already employed by the club, popular with the family stand, used to feeding off scraps, waited patiently for his chance….

A real surprise choice but worth a try, can't be any worse than Marti

Just seen the table and I factored in our potential / likely minus nine. Gut feeling, we’ll be down. Sheff Weds gone, Portsmouth in there but Oxford proved they have more fight and bottle than us (not that they’ll get such easy 3 points every week). Then Blackburn, well we saw them against us, forget our current points per game average being higher than those clubs, we’re on a downward trajectory getting worse by the day, no leaders, no fight, I know who I’d fancy in a dogfight at the bottom. If Marti thinks pressure was on yesterday try staring up to see we’re beneath the relegation safety zone, they’ll need portaloos on the touchline!
