    FFS sinkov, I moved clubs loads of times and played through the pain. These contemporary footballers are a set of BIG Jessies.

    They've never been the same since they got rid if that little old chap in the baggy tracksuit, who ran on with a bucket of cold water and a sponge. It usually worked, why did they ever get rid of him, too bloody soft now.

    Little Jimmy Holland worked wonders sinkov, he repaired Steve Davies' ACL in six weeks which is still a record.

    Clitheroe played at Barlick on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks ago, one of the lads got clattered in the first half and had to go off, we had no physio so he had to sit there for an hour with his knee swollen up so much he couldn't drive himself home. He started the next game on the Saturday.

That must be redressed if we are to progress no matter what style of play you adopt and I am loving Kompany's football so far.
    True Deadly but let’s not forget his foil at the time who contributed and created a lot aswel , Vokes was as key to us as Danny

    Twine is a 10 not a striker as such. And he was fit as a fiddle last season.
    Wondering if Kompany is going down the original Barca route of playing with a false 9 in some games, depending on the opposition?

    Doesn't matter much what they're called, strikers, No 10s, false 9s, we just want someone who can put the ball into the back of the onion bag, not every game, we're realistic, but fairly consistently, 18-20 a season would be nice. FFS even Billy Sharpe managed 14 last season, we're not asking too much surely ?

    Are there any songs now? I don’t know any, and when I go to a match (once or twice a year) I don’t hear any...
    Are my ears failing me or is there no one making and singing songs now?
