If they just had the Zebra from the 70s/80s that they're using on their away shirt atm it'd be perfect - simple without looking like a ****ing esports team. I get scalability blah blah blah but how hard are these things to reproduce in 2026? Most clubs are sticking retro badges on merch anyway so it can't be that big an issue

The 5 Live lot are generally class. I like Bill Leslie, Darren Mann, Steve Bower, Simon Brotherton and Adam Summerton too. Darren "and one thing I will say" Fletcher is the worst by a country mile. Matterface is proper crap but he at least tries to commentate on the game rather than pinning himself as some bastion of football knowledge like Fletcher, who also has the dubious honour of somehow managing to make Ally McCoist actually a bit annoying when he's paired up with him. He commentates like an annoying loud prat in a pub.

He sounds shite as well

THE RIDE OF A CLUB

Yeah there's definitely some "romance" to us in our current predicament but these Middle Eastern lads with trillions down the back of the sofa want to engage in dick swinging contests — I just can't see any of them being interested in a League One club. Doesn't mean we can't attract decent investors, of course

I get the idea of buying low, the club has to actually be for sale etc. — but if you have an infinite pot of wealth, you'd just buy a club higher up the pyramid wouldn't you? Something a bit more plug in and play like Man City / Newcastle

9 from 4 games feels fine to me?

Did Turki Alalshikh ever get his claws into Derby in the end? Been linked with every Skybet club under the sun

Probably be that broke Saudi geezer from Sheffield United or some shite

Speaking of legal issues can I be the first to say everyone has gone a bit quiet on Man City's 115 charges !!!!

"Be careful what you wish for!!!!!" As if we haven't been relegated two seasons in a row and are on the precipice of going pop

Did you work with Stiffler from American Pie or some shit

Willies out

Went out for an hour and a bit this evening, I simply cannot pace myself in the heat and just set off as normal; wind up looking an absolute state People were waiting for me to turn green so they could cross the road
