He was referring to Rangers

Yep. I bought a home shirt at 50 GBP (can't do the L pound sign on my Mac) in early July and got 16 GBP knocked off.

Weren't we all in our younger days.?

Any goals yet?

95%certain it will be another gaming/betting/gambling company. Football's gone to the dogs. (And horses etc.)

Not while we have Elliot Bennett.?

I keep trying to pick "my" team and every time there is one position that stands out as unfillable. Left Back! Two choices, Bell or Hart. Not happy with either.

I hope TM picks what the fans would call a sensible starting 11. But, like a lot on here, I have my reservations.

Never!! Surely none of our posters ever get upset.?

“We work to a budget and as I’ve done throughout my career I’ve tried to stick to budgets. “I don’t go back cap in hand to the owners asking for more money. “When you have to wheel and deal you have to wheel and deal. “We sold our goalie so we could put the money towards a centre forward and a central defender. “Sometimes you have to sell to strengthen other parts of your team." Can you imagine Kenny telling this to the press when Uncle Jack owned the club? So much for the billionaires in India. I know we'd have gone under like Bolton before now if it weren't for them, but surely they can support the club better financially than they do. And don't start all that FFP crap to me.

I just hope Mowbray has the balls to change the shirt at half time, like Ferguson did for Man Utd, when the players complain they cannot see each other. Shocking kit! Also Doctorryan suggested making our own kit. Good idea but why oh why would anyone want to stick a sponsor's logo on a home-made kit? I knew a chap once who insisted on wearing only designer clothing. It must have cost him a fortune just to advertise the companies who he paid that fortune to. He said we all had to keep up with fashion. I wonder if he's now covered from head to toe in blue tattoos. The lunatics still seem to be running the asylum.

If we don't sign a CB I would want a Lenihan/Williams partnership there. Left back is a really weak position IMO.

I'm amazed that you of all people, Philip, consider that there are four halves in a whole shirt.? I'm retiring to the bunker now before I get blasted.

Collier was a good goalkeeper and getting better until I suggested such to my mate. Then all of a sudden he started making mistakes and his career went downhill from then on. Sorry Darren. I should have kept my big gob shut.

I'm not going to ask why you wouldn't want to ring up and "deal" with the staff.

Funnily enough I would love Charlie Adam in our squad. But we already need to offload some midfielders.

Coral expect Bury to finish bottom of league 1 and Bolton next to bottom. Also they have Salford City as league 2 champions ?

Bona sort, David.

Regarding Anderson, as an 8 year old I saw him at least twice and could never understand why he didn't play more often. My dad never explained. I don't remember W Fenton in that era. Only the Geordie who scored for us against Newcastle in the 90s. Graham Fenton.

Loved reading about Chris Shelley Anderson. I remember him. He was indeed the new Stanley Matthews. He was brilliant. Tugayesque, Douglasesque and Duffesque all rolled into one. Shame he couldn't control his life like he could control a caseball.

Was it No4 who handled it on the line? If so, that was Ronnie Clayton or Jacky Campbell. The rough game was amazing and the swaying crowd unbelievable. This was like us now playing one of the top 4 in the Prem. Notice the music associated with sport in the 40s and 50s. Nothing but military marches. Wonderful memories for me.

Halves reversed on the back means the shirt is in quarters. It should ALWAYS be like this because that is our traditional shirt. There was only one season (16/17?) when we had true halved shirts when the "halves" were not reversed on the back, this being allowed by our stupid, naive owners.

That is superb. Brilliant! Thanks for posting it. Young lads wishing to become professional footballers should be shown this. Tugay. What a genius.

Have you watched Spain v England? I keep watching the highlights. Brilliant from Kane.

So far so good, hey.
