  1. I’m thinking the team will go out to prove a point on Saturday, namely that we were never a one man team.
  2. Read an amazing stat last week. Mike Dean has given over 7% of red cards in Premier League history, going back 1992. Unbelievable.
  3. Somewhere North according to the EFL, which could mean somewhere relatively south.
  4. Heartbreaking that blues are in the Southern half of the cup.
  5. Please draw them in a cup this year. Hopefully at ours though so it’s not held at a derelict building.
  6. Good spot! I always presumed it was N assef S awiris W es E dens
  7. Samuelson made £3m from the Villa sale. Three million pounds. Tony and whoever really owned us were at best chancers, and at worst criminals. Becoming quite clear that whoever bought the club was gambling, go up in two years and sell the club for a profit.
  8. On paper this was one of Dr Tony’s better ideas, in reality I suspect we basically sent a couple of low level coaches out to a park in India and asked some kids if they wanted a knock about in some knock off training clobber.
  9. I was thinking “Ings can only get better”, but then I realised that it actually sounds negative!
  10. Or the Charles N’Zogbia stand. Lad retired at 28 after playing for us as he couldn’t face playing against us for another club. A real club hero.
  11. Bye. Just another Dwight Yorke now. I hope we hear something from Nassef, Wes or Purslow following the completion of this deal. Just to reassure we are still moving forwards.
  12. I’m at the stage where this feels very much like the start of the Moneyball story. yes losing our superstar is painful, but the possibilities that presents are exciting. Are we a better side with Jack Grealish, or better with all the signings we’ve made plus potentially JWP, Abraham and another left field signing? Unemotionally, selling Grealish could be the best thing we ever do.
  13. The most bizarre transfer conclusion I’ve ever seen. A live signing.
  14. Might be wrong, but yesterday I think I saw that the team will be training in two groups today. AM and PM.
  15. But Dr Tony said we’d win the champions league this season. Why wouldn’t he want to stay?
  16. I think the club need to make a statement one way or the other. Give an impression we have some handle on what is happening. If NSWE came out and said he’s leaving but we are still on course and going to invest every penny of it fans would become excited again, albeit sad Jack is leaving.
  17. Will be interesting to hear what Dean Smith says at the friendly tomorrow. Silence would be confirmation in my view.
  18. The bids for midfielders such as Ward Prowse, ESR and potentially Cantwell, alongside the numbers of midfielders we already have, probably tells us that Sanson is not fancied by management right now. Which is a shame as he hasn’t had a clear run.
  19. Club could come out now and publicly say they are not selling at any price. That would put Jack in a corner, because any subsequent move would be publicly driven by him.
  20. Embarrassment. Terrible attitude, and should really be working overtime to catch up and impress considering his hard luck with injury. But no. Seems like he doesn’t belong in our squad either.
