Don’t disagree. But by the same token, if the market says he’s worth £7million...

If you can’t beat ‘em... ignore ‘em!

I can only bow down to your ITK-ness We obviously must have a crack wage negotiation team that can sign up a £7million man on a fraction of the wages of someone plucked out of League 1. Shame they couldn’t do it for the fee too...

The likes of Nugent, Huddlestone, Scott Carson et al will be on serious money for this league. So no doubt they’d beat us on wages. I’m just not having that Brereton has come here for peanuts.

Brereton, the £7million man, must then be on a wage akin to the first contract that’s signed as an Academy graduate? Needs to sack his agent if thats the case...

Speaking of summer transfer targets. It’ll be interesting to see that Luke Freeman in the flesh on Saturday, thought he was excellent against Villa last week, he was playing some kind of antiquated ‘winger’ role...

Aye, Boxing Day could’ve been a cracking following. But I imagine it will be £40-ish, so no chance.

Probably because he knew a few good results and they’ll be up at that figure anyway. Never any flies on owd Ken.

Wonder how many you’ll ?

Before this season? Yes, usually around 10/15,000 empty seats. Our last 3 league visits to Elland Road. September 2016 - 19,006 October 2015 - 19,666 April 2015 - 25,493 You have a massive catchment area, fans across Yorkshire, so when things are going well the place is packed out, but plenty soon vanish when it’s a mid table season. Whereas we have a core of 10/12k that turn out year on year, but we just don’t have the floating support you have to substantially boost the crowd when it’s a good season.

Sure I remember a story of him being hung up from a coat hook in the changing rooms. Though I could have just dreamt that... it was a near nightly occurrence in that era! (Rovers related dreams that is, not being strung up!)

I’d like to think that it would be brfcs that I would turn to!

Just been knocked down.

‘Pathetic away support have t’Bastards’ ’You’d never see us not selling out in the Prem’ ’We are known for our support on the road’ Etc Etc Etc

Can we afford not to play him. Serious stature...

I can separate the two, but it is anything but a spectacle outside the top 6. Half the league hanging on for dear life year after year. Those 6 are now that strong that even the cups offer few surprises either. There’ll be a Chelsea V Arsenal or a Liverpool v Man City final over and over. Now they have good players so you might not be arsed about seeing them on repeat, but as someone who loves the heritage of the game in this country I find it very sad.

Some more salubrious than others from memory!

We sell the majority of our away tickets on open sale these days anyway. I.e both Stoke and West Brom had sold around 700 pre open sale, ended up taking around 2,000. So no chance it doesn’t get to that stage.

No midweek game for a month now, plus an international break in mid November, so a good chance to get the squad over some of the niggles.

Thought it’d been converted into flats?

Maybe my memory is s bit hazy, but wasn’t Hoddle known as a ‘born again Christian’ at the time? I’m no theologian, but what part of Christianity believes in reincarnation?

Exactly, the last 5 pages are just a row now because in true internet style nobody wants to back down, look at the Championship thread for another example, when a poster just won’t hold his hands up, even though the evidence that he’s wrong is literally in front of him. This could have been avoided on Saturday evening by folk letting others have their opinions, even shock horror, NEGATIVE ones, or it could have been nipped in the bud with some active modding...

Because some people can’t debate on here any more, perhaps? Why can’t anyone say what the hell they like? If you think what they say is rubbish, you explain why. All this positive/negative stuff, trying to shut down debate is ruining the site. For someone that likes to tell us that you’ve been here since day dot and how shite it now is, you should be able to see it, as even back to the days of Souness this place has been the same; schizophrenic, especially during a game (just like every single football forum in the land), just now certain posters don’t seem to want to allow it. Plus, 25 people on ignore? Either a lie or just sad, the site only has around 40/50 regular posters!

I don’t, sorry.

It’s his article! Not sure what you’re getting at ODB?!
