I don’t bet, AF, and neither do I have quite the political allegiance you, and certainly Tricky, might imagine…but I’ll be bloody glad to see the end of this particular group of smug, cruel,...

So now, at last, we (nearly) know. Looking very like 4th July…when hopefully the country can claim independence from this bunch of incompetent clowns and 14 years of misrule.

Understood…but aren’t we committed to about the same again as he’s been promised a three year contract which starts shortly?

Motm against Bolton in the play off final…looked genuinely quick.

So…so far that’s…Herbie Kane, Josh Murphy, Josh Windass, Ebou Adams, Ethan Erhahon plus a keeper plus £300k for CBT and some...

‘Hair shirts’! Don’t be so ridiculous. No one was suggesting that.

I was just sharing Swales’ sentiment that some of us are satisfied with what we have. I suspect neither he nor I live in anything...

Couldn’t agree more.

Where Chelsea are concerned, I’d guess many of us on here got initially interested in football in the years immediately before the 1966 World Cup.
Between the turn of the...

Corey Addai?

Yeah…they’d be daft to get rid of a good keeper who’s just played a leading role in getting them promoted. :O :D:D

You did actually refer to paying ‘over the odds’, in post #37, but no matter and I take your other points, although he has always come across to me as a player who values first team opportunities...

Lol…not saying that at all. We might have someone better lined up for all I know. I just believe in hanging on to good, proven and reliable players whenever we can and this is, first and foremost, a...

Fair bit of supposition there, Swale…unless you actually know that he’s been led into asking for an ‘over the odds’ deal.
I wouldn’t know, although he’s always appeared to me to be a very level...

It is interesting, and slightly curious. You’d expect them to want ‘bigger contracts’ I’d imagine, seeing as they would have been playing at a higher level which they’ve played no small part in...

Lol…yep, you’re right…my football squabble with Swale was beyond daft at times…but it was over opinions rather than facts, and I’m not sure it was any more embarrassing than your ongoing and endless...

Not really, AF…your error was to compare the two. They’re the two best (i.e. most influential) loan players I can remember us having, but there the comparison ends and the rest of what you said was...

Odd and factually incorrect response, but hey ho.

I’d like Adams too, but they’re not entirely comparable and while Smith has about 250 Championship appearances, Adams has…11.
Can’t help thinking he offered the experience and versatility we’ll need.

Well there you go…Wildsmith gone and…I’m gutted!
Don’t get it. Two years ago we let Ryan Allsop go, for me the best keeper, with the ball at his feet, we’ve ever had…but we had no choice, the club...

Let it go, GP. Don’t be so reactionareeee! ;D

At a mere 78 she’s still ‘giving’ Jagger and Richards a couple of years. Cradle snatchers! Great voice though.

Fair enough…each to their own…but actually they go back to ‘97 - longer with a different name - although I didn’t first see them until 2002.

Long awaited Elbow gig at Nottingham Arena last night.
Support act was Graham Coxon’s new outfit Waeve (including Rose Elinor Dougall) which frankly I found a little impenetrable…Mrs. rA was more...

Maybe we could just return to using the term ‘Blimp’ (as in Colonel Blimp). We all know what it means, it was good enough for Orwell and it’d stop all the point scoring and ‘gammon’ angst.

Only for five weeks. Made less than thirty appearances in the last four seasons combined…not one for me.

Have to admit I’d forgotten him. He’d be in my ‘promising’, but completely unproven beyond L1/L2 level, category. Deserves a chance in a perfect world…might have to be sold in football’s more...

Of which at least five need to be of the ‘first choice’ rather than ‘back up’ variety and include a genuine leader/experienced captain who isn’t chosen by the players this season.

Ludicrously...
