C'mon the swans!!

Everyone from London is a c***

A friend of mine who lives in Dundee reckons Shankland (ST)  and Siegriest (GK) should be on the radar for championship clubs. Says Shankland's goal tally doesn't look great this year due utd struggling to make chances but reckons he's a better player than Dykes who has done pretty well for QPR. Both in the last year of contract

I need to be more observant, I hadn't even noticed the Wayne Rooney part.

I've also only just discovered all the stuff that comes up when you click the 3 dashes in the top right hand corner. Very impressive!

Had a few pints of Elsie Mo last night, really good drink 

Tasty beer from a very good brewery! I like their harvest pale too, refreshing and a bit weaker so good if you want a light session

I'd take a look at bringing in Ashley fletcher, I think there's definitely a player there and he's on a free. Would be better than waggy IMO. I think mowatt may sign a new deal if Barnsley go up.

If they stay down then I think Mowatt'll be a very good free transfer for somebody but most likely one of the parachute payment clubs that can give him top money and likely be challenging at the top end of the table.

Agree Fletcher does have something about it him despite his goal record being less than impressive. Not sure if he is best in a front 2 or as a lone striker? 

Everton have a whole host of older u23s that are likely to move on this summer I understand. If Rooney is staying he might know which or them are worth looking at (admittedly it hasn't worked out with Baningime)

Callum Connolly looked a solid player for Ipswich on loan a few years ago, if he's continued developing out on loan could be a useful addition. Paris Simms has been mentioned elsewhere in the thread as well I think.

A big beasty leader at CB would be a priority. I was trying to remember what happened to Goode from Northampton who impressed me before and of course he signed for Brentford last year. 

If they were to go up, I'd ask the question about him. Doesn't seem to have played a huge amount for them this season and they might look to improve on him for the Prem. Its not clear what they paid for him but he's the type of player I'd like to see.

The missed penalty looks even worse now they've gone 2-1 down to Chelsea in 92nd minute. After watching Guaddiola's hissy fits at the officials today, I'm kinda glad they've lost and had to wait another week for the title

Aguero just fluffed his "panenka" penalty. Thank god Waghorn didn't have any such stupid idea today!!

Watching the "super" teams Chelsea and City and it is dull as dishwater

To make the most of my nowtv day pass I watched palace vs Sheff utd, certainly not a classic. I actually drifted off for a while 2nd half ?

Eze is a very good player and a joy to watch when he's in full flow though. Interesting to note that Millwall released him as a teen and he was snapped up by QPR who ended up selling him on for £20m after a couple of good seasons in the champ. Hope some of the youngsters we've picked up for free kick on that way 

I'm not gonna miss checking this thread during the week to see if Rotherham have been kind ?

Poured myself a titanic plum porter in the 2nd half, so that will forever now be the "lucky beer" 

Cheers everyone ?

LEAGUE DIV 3

 Heres for the younger gen z,  we have been there before , got the bruises and survived 

Chandler and Christie goal scored 

Under 4000 attendance 

I used to live a couple streets over from the vetch as a student. Too young to have seen it in its "hey day" sadly. It made the BBG look like Wembley as far as I can tell ?

I hope Buchanan, along with a couple others, do get the opportunity to move on in the summer and we don't play hardball with their futures. Sibley, Knight and Bird too. 

Until this club starts running itself the right way, I think it would be amiss of me as a supporter to want our talented young players to stick around and be subject to such ineptitude where it leaves a lasting scar on their development. 

Sad but true.

The last game with fans at pp last season when we beat Blackburn and sibley scored his debut cracker, I had so much optimism for a midfield containing Bird, Knight and Sibley. It's gutting to see how they've all gone backwards since then.

There must be a manager capable of mixing talented youngsters like that with the right blend of experienced players. No idea who to suggest though. Wouldn't say no to trying to pinch Hasslebaink if we went down.

My fb memories flagged up a very annoyed clough/Derby status from 2009. Who remembers the end of season game where Rob hulse started at CB and Stephen Pearson was at LB? 

Interesting looking at the teams, Watford were managed by Brendan Rodgers (I had no memory of him ever being there at all) and they had two of my ex-Derby favourites in Rasiak and Tommy Smith

Just got back home from my first actual live game of football for 18 months...and It was brilliant.! Brilliant brilliant. Roll on next season. 

Awesome! What match did you go to?

I keep thinking about the last match I went to, like most people on here I guess it was the home win against Blackburn when Sibley scored a screamer on his debut. I had a lot of optimism after that game. The next match I get to, Derby will ceftainly not be in the good position I'd hoped for ?

Forest don't want to bring Murray on for fear of him scoring a goal presumably ?

Well poop. Cavani is a hell or a striker

C'mon Roma! Had a soft spot for them since the days of Serie A on channel 4, when they had Cafu, Totti, Montella, Delvecchio, Aldair...

Plus United and everything associated with them is pure Bamford

Had tickets for slam dunk festival in Leeds (boo) in 2020, kept them on through the first couple or date rearrangements but now it clashes and a couple of the key bands we'd wanted to see dropped out. 

Got our money back straight away once we decided to cancel so fair play to them for that. 

Really want to get back to seeing live music but had to plan too far ahead and commit to tickets right now!

 I don't normally buy my booze in b&m to be honest but I found myself in there the other day and noticed a couple of interesting bottles in the beer section. First of all they do a large bottle of the Innis & Gunn bourbon barrel aged for a very good price.

The other interesting one was "Ginger Tom", I'm a big fan of Robinson's old Tom so thought I'd try this version, especially as a redhead! Its overpoweringly gingery to be honest but it was worth trying

You have to give our recruitment team credit - they didn't forget Andy King or indeed Chris wheale from that stellar Leicester outfit.... ?

There's a lot of ex and future players going on between the two in that game. Howard, Oakley, Powell (these 3 got excellent receptions I seem to remember) and Savage.

Think I heard Waghorn's name too, maybe around that time that we started being linked with him in every single transfer window until eventually signing him about 5 years later!

Loved Peschisolido! One of those signings where at the time I thought - really journeyman striker at the end of his career -  but he was class for us. 

Wonderful attitude/application and a really smart footballer with it

Still at least Mourinho has been sent packing ?
