Well how about "if there is still anything to play for we will bottle it anyway especially with Tony's selections?"

I thought you were quite obsessed with me last week. I at least turn up after every game---win, lose or draw! And I think there's a much simpler explanation than your's! But, I take your point and will now shut up about it

Great things were expected of Daly as i recall. Little bloke wasn't he? Think i remember being called the new Douglas! Funny how some things don't work out.

Lets pack it all in then eh? On a serious note, its a matter of degree. You aren't any good with that are you? Its all black or white to you. At least in the Premiership we are not at the bottom of the food chain.

Of course you are right in theory but we have had plenty of chances to crack that 6 and we never do. So, i reality, imo we have nothing to play for.

or "steady progress"!

Once again we have nothing to play for and our season will fade out. We are no nearer promotion than we were under Bowyer several years ago. We are producing some good youth players, they will be snapped up by bigger clubs. We are on a downward spiral to nothingness. its the 1980's again with no Jack in sight. Our only hope of getting out of this is to turn up a manager like Dyche.

Reckon Lenihan will be off, Dack as well if he recovers fully. Travis----it will depend on how far we go to attempt to keep him. We are just a feeder club if we can't get back in the Premiership. Can't compete on the wages front.

What corner is anyone backing themselves into? Are you saying we are a sucessfull club?

I hate that set-up. If we had Shearer/Sutton and Speedie in it, it still wouldn't work. So how's it going to work with this "quality" we have currently?

Wake me up when we have more points.

On the basis that we are never in the Top 6 and that, whenever we get within touching distance of it, we always bottle it, I'm predicting a loss. A soft free-kick just outside the penalty area in the 85th minute taken by Rooney is my biggest nightmare. Is it necessary for me to say I fervently hope I'm completely wrong and we win?

I prefer Championship clubs that do the right thing by their fans.

Obviously some hangover from TM"s time there!!

Really ludicrous. It doesn't matter what anyone thinks a Championship game is worth, the key factor is can our fans pay? Given that the town is one of the most socio-economically disadvantaged in the country, I'd say the response will be "can't pay, won't pay".

Congratulations anyway!

Made of granite that man. Kenny tried to persuade him to play one more season but his body couldn't take it. Didn't train between games, needed a few days for his knees to recover. A man- mountain, will never forget that headed goal against Derby in the Play-off Semi. No fear in him but terrified the opposition. What he or one like him would do for this current side. Sigh!

What sort of money involved though? I honestly can't remember.

Bit confused here. What response would you expect in those circumstances?

He signed a lot of players but I don't think he had a decent budget did he? Wasn't it more a stitching a side together on the cheap?

I'm not making it up though. On one of those instances where whoever was on duty insisted my post had not been deleted, it was up there in full as a quote from another poster! Yet it didn't appear anywhere as my post! Gremlins in the system are bad enough but I feel I've got one of my own!!

3 of the greatest players who ever played for us though? If 3 of that quality come through that would be incredible.

Fair enough, I accept what you say. I must have Captain Haddock Syndrome!!

Well I swear to you that I posted and it disappeared. But I accept what you say of course.

I did reply to you briefly and in a non-hostile way but I'm afraid it was deleted once again.
