Nothing at the club is good enough, that's the problem.

Anything for the club I've supported since December 2015.

Santa Cruz isn't very expat. If you can't find anywhere there you might have more joy getting the bus to Playa de Las Americas or Costa Adeje. Take you an hour though.

Funnily enough, I can see it being the case that the club legally can't release a Vardy 15/16 film because someone already optioned it.

5 years ago we'd already bottled the League Cup semi v Villa and had the post COVID collapse that cost us Champions League football. That was after the cracks had already appeared.

You can always go down. But we've shown we don't have to do a lot to pick up often undeserved points in this league in this season. If the rot really sets in, we could wander into trouble. Think of us in the 04/05 season.

I don't feel guilty about not losing 6 hours of every other weekend (travel and match) to stand in amongst a bunch of atmosphere tourists at the back of SK1, no.

**** no.

An alarm did go off during the game at at least one point. Talksport pointed it out.

Looking back apparently the team got booed off for being held 0-0 at home to ten man Oldham when we'd dicked Walsall 4-1 in the snow at Bescot four days earlier and were 11 points clear at the top

Jamie Clapham or Ryan McGivern? Was Jacob Laursen a left back?

That's pure Lestoh. Fantastic painting though. I look forward to more if you do them.

Graham Fenton was 23 when we signed him

I'm here cos I was proved wrong, chief. I called it like I saw it and didn't think he was good at Forest.

Then again I also thought Neil Danns was a terrific signing at the time.

"Why do we need Wes Morgan? He's no better than Sol Bamba." I never rated him at Forest. He was saving the best for us.

My favourite bit is even though the audio's crap, I think it's Colin Hill plays a back pass back to Kalac and you can hear the Kop collectively shit itself

I was another. I remember Neville Foulger on the end of season review "And Kalac's got his head in his hands, let's hope he doesn't drop it."

He was pretty bad. Indecisive and positioning all over the place. He clearly improved given he went on to play in the Champions League and at the World Cup (although I remember him having a nightmare for Australia in 2006 too) but this is easily as bad as Ward v Wolves, even if David Lowe let him down a bit for the second.

Got a quintology of Ricardo alone.

Walk through the Lanes, as it's on the way, get a pint down round the Pocklington's Walk area, then once you're at the uni just carry on to the ground. Ain't a bad city really, people just love talking it down for their own reasons.

Meant to quote this ofc

I maintain Andy Johnson could have been decent if he ever passed the ball forwards. Didn't quite figure out that aspect of being a midfielder though bless him.

Milan had his faults, and he demonstrated many of them in that 07/08 season, but imagine thinking we weren't spiralling the drain from 2004-2007 anyway. The club was literally running on fumes before he came in, and I'm not sure we could have survived relegation to League One without his acumen.
