You underestimate and demean Graham and on the evidence so far overestimate Brereton. Graham has bought the T-Shirt, Brereton is not even in the Shop. We are not after a Striker in this Window to sit on the Bench as 3rd choice. I for one put no value in your musings on here, at least one self-promoting tipster turns up on this MB every bloody Window.

Yes, he was. He almost gifted another goal to Grealish with an awful grass-cutter clearance.

What a crap match. No wonder the discussion is about Pundits. Lampard got his team selection wrong and looked like a man with a bad toothache all afternoon. Derby gifted Villa both goals but quite how a 5' 6'' player who doesn't actually jump scores with a header in a challenge with a 6' 4'' keeper I've yet to work out. I didn't really care who clinched it, Leeds had already imploded in the Semis and it doesn't get much better than that. Waggott shed a few tears, allegedly

Mowbray would tell us Tugay would play, but he never would.

Rinse and Repeat

I am posting this here as I just came across it on YouTube, it's just a little older than me (the game that is), we beat Burnley and it's in the FA Cup. Brilliant, just look at a full Ewood rocking. Official attendance 52,920 Notable also for the commentator referring, historically correctly, to our Quartered shirts

That would not have come cheap. It is truly atrocious. Does anyone know who the Sculptor was? He should be ashamed.

Containing an explanation of the "Flex" or "Robbing Peter to pay Paul" as I now understand it.

The Club does it because it works, some fans are so gullible it beggars belief. The claptrap of “our first season back in the Championship” has been trotted out numerous times even on this MB. I read the Bennett interview earlier today and filed it in the shit bucket.

It will come back on topic when Mowbray and the Fat Lad return from whence they've gone

Nice though

If Klopp was at Citeh they would win everything If the cardigan guy was at the Scousers they would win nowt

Thanks, saved me the effort.

One sounds a bit like Jimmy Greaves, the one who talks shit. Or a cross between Greaves and Chris Sutton, which is impossible. I wonder who it is?

Still makes me laugh.

For the record and as a long term Jordan fan I didn't start any comparison. I was responding to a posters comment that Bamford ''Looks like a poor mans Jordan Rhodes: slow and weak'', which is patently misguided if not downright thick.

I started using Grammarly as a Chrome extension today, can choose between British, American, Australian and Canadian English. Dothraki is not yet a choice ?. Brilliant spellchecker and for Grammar. May even go for the full Windows version, the free one!

I have always rated Bamford. A good footballer who makes the game look easy kidding folk that he's got no pace when he has. I also think his physicality has improved with age. Give him and Jordan a football and there's only one footballer ... and I'm a Jordan fan! He won't come to us, we can't afford him.

That crafty 'foul' is very prevalent in the game today but now camera angles can pick it up easily. Refs still usually can't, but it's at such speed they have a difficult task. FREE MGP!

Correct. Watford were named simply because they played City in the Final, the article was about a Nation owned Club against anyone else. In the PL a few Clubs can make an attempt, Liverpool gave it a go this year and with their squad will again next year but have little chance of finishing ahead of City unless their is an unlikely implosion there. However the Liverpool's, Chelsea's etc as Clubs will not care that much about Trophies as they are firmly entrenched at the PLs top-table and just about to get get an even bigger portion of the Sky Pie. At present the financial wealth of City is enabling them to do whatever they want and who can get them in check when the money behind this single Club is 1,000 X+++r that of all the Associations trying to regulate them. I dislike the rot that City are with more passion than anything else in football in the game has generated for a very long time.

Call yourself a midfielder and you're in!

Was that written into his contract? It seems a very small number of games to invoke an auto extension which could, for example, have been triggered by an injury to GK 1, say by a kick in the face, that didn't allow him to be rushed back into service after missing just 1 game.

OK, I forgot that. Thanks. But wanted to also make the point that he's no longer considered even as 3rd choice keeper for the Canada squad
