A half hit deflected shot towards our 6 yard box? Germany watch out, Beadle’s about.

So Wednesday is Sunday not Saturday, West Brom is not Saturday 4th Jan at night it's Sunday 4th Jan in the afternoon and we're not playing Swansea twice at home like the club site says....OK, I think I've got all that

We're at a distinct disadvantage. Everyone else gets to play Leicester twice but we don't

For purely selfish reasons I'd like our Ipswich and Norwich away games to be 3 O'Clock Saturdays but more likely Ipswich will be Boxing Day or moved for TV. Speaking of TV, I found this interesting - https://www.efl.com/how-to-watch/tv-game-selection-process/ apart from the final weeks of the season, the picks will be made with particularly long (up to 5 months) notice instead of the previous 5 weeks, making it a lot less stressful planning trains etc. I'm all for that, well done to any parties who put pressure on to see this happen . I suppose one area of interest may be the games within the AFCON dates, hopefully not too many of the tougher fixtures in that period please . And uncle Charlie from acme Shop Front Shutter Hire wants to know when Millwall are coming to town.

I don't like the "...In Talks" line. The way he rabbits on it could go on for months without conclusion!

If it's Dyche it could be Danny Ings .

Plymouth appoint Cleverley, we appoint stupidly

The previous relegation apparently took them by surprise as the squad had Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans, KDH, Evans etc in it. This one shouldn't have, 5 minutes into the Spurs game as we defended almost from the goal line you could see we were not ready, not prepared, not capable, not good enough (OK we got a point but that's Spurs being Spursey!). They've had 9 months to work out what was going on. What they need to recognize is how uncompetitive we were this time, it wasn't even close, nip and tuck, giving it a go, it was a footballing white-wash, 9 games without a goal stuff. It's like selling tickets to an opera and then having Sue Pollard come on and play Rule Britannia with a Kazoo. They will point firmly at PSR and having their hands tied but what about looking at the money we did have to spend. Tell me Top, Rudkin, Whelan, how useful were Skipp, Eduaoard, renewed Vestergaard and Okoli? Could that money have been used better? Could the loan slot been used better on a hungry vibrant young player? What do you think you saw out there Top? Tell us what you think it was. Then tell us (for the 2nd time in 3 years) how it won't happen again. This isn't about results it's about application and set up, we were blatantly shambolic. Two poor managers, managers who were appointed by who? Not finding another player in January "within budget who would improve the team"? What was the budget, tuppence ha'penny and a toffee wrapper? At least try something, mix it up, new faces, new personalities, new ideas but no, keep handing shirts to uninterested and incompetent players over and over again. Our Badge, Our reputation, our club has been devalued due to poor decisions. Again. Tell us the reasoning behind the decision making. At least then there will be some (a couple of weeks) time between that and the inevitably positive spin on new beginnings, new fixtures (yay Millwall), new kit, our promising youngsters, (possibly) a new manager. Right now though I wouldn't trust any of them with a single decision, the model is broken, every decision digs our hole deeper and deeper.

I think they are questioning the Tier 3 status of O’Rourke by reproducing his previous tip offs - that we sign Lamptey & Ferguson for example which didn’t happen.

And now we’re just a Mickey Mouse Club!

Yep, remember that game so well. Threatened with possible relegation those bastions (check spelling) of fair play Man Utd rocked up with Robson, Hughes and co with a blatant disregard for the etiquette of the league. Looking at it on paper you'd think how the hell did we beat them but we were great that night. Just imagine totting up the career international caps of the two sides! The "Jari, Jari, Jari" chants as the big man battered the life out of them, he saw himself as the senior man in the attacking half (with Rambo deep in midfield) and was outstanding. I seem to remember winger Paul Williams being very decent that night but I think they all must have been. And the atmosphere....cracking. This was a pre-FNF one, it was the rumours of Utd's squad that drew the big crowd (nuff respect Ramsey), with the FNF nights they were more ready for the demand but in 1989 it was still pre the razzmatazz and a shock to us regulars to see so many come along.

Loved him in George And Mildred

My favourite too. When they performed at half time in first team games they’d sit near us in the stand during the match. In a match vs Arsenal (Possibly THE match against Arsenal) some Arsenal fans had been sat along the same row and a fight had broken out. As it got closer and closer to her I did the gentlemanly thing and stood between them, arms outstretched to protect her but she just got her LCFC Brolly and started whacking him with it. He ended up on the floor squealing for mercy and we were all in stitches . I got a cute smile when I asked if she was OK ❤️. I didn’t bother asking him!

I heard his stats were really good and bigger clubs were aware of him including Arsenal. But then they watched him. I always remember before a game v Liverpool the season we signed him Klopp came out and said we’d added quality to our squad and had a “ Good transfer window…..a very good transfer window”. He said it with such sincerity I thought there may be some truth in it. We’d added a former England left back, a Danish international CB, a CF who had scored no end of goals and top stat man from Champions Lille. Or as we know them, Clapped out donkey Bertrand, Jannik “Can’t run or turn” Vestergaard, Patson “couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo” Daka, and “jog about” Soumare. The most disappointing window since Rachel Riley bought some blinds.

When you’re in a band that splits up it’s like having 4 divorces all at once, then seeing who gets custody of the drummer . Brutal. It’s also like spending 5 years building a house, you’re just about to put the roof on and the others each knock a wall down because they can’t agree on the wallpaper, just a waste of everyone’s time and effort. It’s uniquely complex as you had / have a different relationship with each of them and they with each other so sorting it is very complex.

Ooh, I might watch this. Surely Kermorgant wouldn’t be d**k enough to try that type of penalty twice

When they said we’d be seeing a Great Dane at Seagrave they meant his dog, Fido Vestergaard.

In totally completely unrelated other news Filbert Fox will be a foot taller next season. Maybe not, to complete a lap of the pitch in the 15 minute half time might be beyond him.

We're hanging on to the thought that there's someone out there who will match his salary (if that's an issue), for someone who it's plain to see has a brain freeze at least once a game costing goals, maybe a crazy Italian called Rudkini, but who else in their right mind would do that . ??

“Won all 4 divisions, you’ll never sing that” !

It’s about that time…..John Terry will be getting kitted up for the team photo’s

Thank goodness we insisted on add-on’s if they win a trophy . We did do that, right?

Sancho in “actually does something” shocker
