  1. If you're using the last decade, you have to include Jones, Hoilett and Olsson.
  2. We've sold £13m worth of academy player since Jones tbf. Not bad considering the number of players in our first team, plus it's running self-sufficient when accounting for the £1.9m grant per year. £1.1m/year cost x 10 = £11m £13m - £11m = £2m profit. All without including the £17m Jones money.
  3. Have they? Off the top of my head, I can only think of Delle Alli, Grealish, and Henderson who have been of top PL quality equivalent to Jones from academies inferior to ours to attract top 4 interest. I'm probably missing a few, mind
  4. Tugay. End of discussion 😉
  5. A touch of the Ryan Nelsen's about this deal imo.
  6. I knew it was about wishing England was more Christian (another reason it would be an outdated anthem), but not heard that take on it before. Interesting. I read it as a reference to the mills and factories being physically and mentally draining places to work, having a 'satanic' effect (to a Christian mind like Blake's) on the will of people to live a good Christian life.
  7. I equally don't understand those who clamour for it to be replaced by 'Jerusalem', a song literally about how shit it is in England to live and work.
  8. I can see it now. "Don't call me Roy, ye little prick! Ye'll address me by my proper title, ye little bollocks!"
  9. Attacking midfielder at Wigan. Funnily enough he was at Forest alongside Brereton...
  10. Hughesy did alright...
  11. Any player in the modern era scores that, and it'd be in world's best goals compilations! Sadly (perhaps I should be thankful) I only know about it (or indeed, Frank Worthington) because it's on the first Soccer AM DVD.
  12. I think this series will be about tying up the links through the past series, then one final season. I do feel like they could finish it this year though if they wanted.
  13. Line of Duty is 😛
  14. LINE OF DUTY 😁😁😁😁😁😁
  15. If Arma wins POTY, he'll go in summer. Hopefully for good money!
  16. Perfect job to build up cred as a younger manager.
  17. Makes me wonder if anyone is currently 'assessing' from afar? Is there someone already drawing up a recruitment plan? 'Sweeping changes' suggests a whole team, a la Mark Hughes?
  18. Fair enough, honestly hadn't noticed them! Not quite sure I'd say 2 is 'lots' but maybe I've been a bit blind 😅 The implication being...?
  19. He also said that IF Cat 1 is NOT maintained, he opposes the sale. You can't omit parts of what someone says just to have a go at them.
  20. He has answered it. Several times. I'll do it in small words: If Cat 1 deffo, then yes. If Cat 1 not deffo, then no.
  21. Are they more attractive than the missus or something?
