Maybe, but would you have paid that much for him ?

That was a very strange signing, especially for that sort of money.

The number of modern day footballers who should be “ sorted for the rest of his life “ but end up in the bankruptcy courts would surprise you.

I thought he did well at Derby but since then, not so good.

There’s a review of Paul Weller’s latest album in today’s “ Guardian” complete with a photo of him looking very dapper indeed in a really nice blue suit. “ I’d like to meet his tailor “ . Name that tune ?

We’re going to need that because Portsmouth and Derby are on the way up.

Marshall Crenshaw - I’m Sorry ( But So Is Brenda Lee )

When I see some of the yellow cards we get at times it makes me wonder.

The Exciters - He’s Got The Power

That’s why I was hoping Kompany would be staying. They could easily get somebody better.

Just chat. We know full well he won’t come to Rovers.

One of my mates was thinning out his wardrobe. His wife put a few things like the ones you named on EBay. They ended up being bought by a film making studio’s costume department !

I think Phillips dropped a bollock leaving when he did

Jimmy Gordon was the first “ sponge man “ I can remember at Rovers. He went on to greater things with Brian Clough after he left Rovers.

I’ve got quite a few ties, I’d say around 35 or 40. 86 seems a bit excessive if I may say so, The black one is the only one I wear these days unfortunately. As you can imagine I’ve got more than my share of outdoor coats. 4 raincoats that I hardly ever wear etc. A “ Barbour “ waxed motor bikers jacket I’ve had for years is one of my favourites. It’s been back to “ Barbour “ for repair, they do a really good job incidentally. My favourite bad weather coat is a managers jacket made by “ Canterbury “ for my local rugby league club. The sent only two over as samples and I got one, the coach at the time got the other one. It’s brilliant.

What’s gone on before is irrelevant. However if you want to look at it like that, when did the last player go from the championship to the England squad in 4 months. That should tell you all you need to know. The lad is special, he’s a natural, even a blind man on a galloping horse could see that. On another point, the money is also irrelevant because we wouldn’t have seen any of it irrespective of the fee. It’d just allow the Chicken Chokers to go on wrecking the club a bit longer.

I feel it’s like if we had sold Bryan Douglas or Ronnie Clayton just as they were started to shine. Robbed of some fantastic moments - all because of the Indian fuckwits.

I meant JDT being considered for the dingles job.

It’s all jobs for the boys if you’re in the magic circle.

Jerry Butler - Only The Strong Survive

If JDT had still been out of work he must have been under consideration.

I saw somewhere that they were only looking for a manager to do the job for 12 months until they can get their No 1 candidate ( Alonso ? ) in.

Little Anthony And The Imperials - Gonna Fix You Good

Spyder Turner - Stand By Me Interesting version were he impersonates several soul singers of the time.

In that case there’s obviously a manager that could sort the job out, Any ideas who ?
