I genuinely think that's only the second time in his life he's ever played there. Not sure why JDT thinks he's suitable for the role 'cos he's absolutely not.

He'd be a happier man if we'd got Newcastle away.

Not on the current salary he's on.

I'm glad he made the second save because he brought it on himself - palmed the ball back into the danger area. He got very lucky. The reckon Reynolds is worth over £300m - although I doubt he's willing to blow his personal fortune on a football team.

Stupid yellow card though - he needs to cut that out of his game.

He was crap at one stage - he needed a loan to get some games in as he was constantly injured. To be fair to him (and the fitness team) they've clearly changed something about his routine as he's injured far less often - he got a run of games and has never looked back.

It'll be like Hill's last game - they won't risk him unless they absolutely have to. Don't want him to get injured so he's there in an emergency.

Wharton is off then.

Of course not, Manchester is the best city in the country - but Cardiff is really lovely.

Unfortunately Cardiff is a fantastic city, so let's hope he's very settled in the North West.

Did you miss the summer one?

His teams follow a cycle (which is why there are strong accusations of PEDs) - they're peaking again this year. When they're not at or near their peak they're nowhere near City. What Guardiola has done there is unbelievable, really. They're a monolith.

They have a massive catchment area. East Anglia is devoid of football clubs - so is the East of England, tbf, which is why people from Kent support Spurs.

I don't like Nixon, but in his defence I bet we did enquire about Darlow et al - sometimes a transfer never gets beyond an initial query, but it's still something a journalist in that game is going to report.

Is it a lengthy, lucrative contract? And why are we as fans suddenly worried about National Insurance contributions!?

I bet it's a mandatory future fee in the summer that Bolton are balking at. i.e. pay his full wages for 5 months then give us £500k for him in the summer - it's not even a try before you buy.

Newcastle away would have been a good draw (financially). Newcastle at home is a bad draw - we'll get battered and make a sliver of what we could have in attendance fees.

Or how quickly your backup CB finds himself in net.

They tell me he plays for Lancashire, but I've never seen this man with a red rose on his cap and I watch pretty much every game on LancsTV.

Are there actual legs in the Gallagher to Ipswich for £2m story? I haven't seen it on Twitter much (just fans speculating). I'd drive him there myself for that.

Cos it's football and I'm petty.

Football is baffling, isn't it? After pulling our pants down with the Phillips transfer (ably assisted by Phillips and his agent) we're lead to believe they're going to come waltzing back with a smile on their faces for Wharton? I wouldn't even answer the phone.

Quarter Finals in the Champions League against Real Madrid? Not good enough to play against Plymouth and Millwall for mine. Panic loan.

Mainly because it's a 4th division side that's getting far, far too much coverage due to their owners. I'd love for us to show out (both on and off the field) and give them a bloody nose - but sadly this is a zombie club so that's not going to happen.

Waggot was trying to appoint a Manager and DoF at the same time. He was badly floundering at appointing a manager. Things only started moving when Broughton arrived.
