    I stand to be corrected, but I believe it was similar at Millwall... Initially, their mob were just known as "Yobs".

    It wasn't until that PO semi against us... and with acknowledgement to Graham Richards... that they became "officially" known as "The Brainless Maniacs".

    That documentary of theirs were their wearing the surgical masks is a cracker.  On the coach to Bristol and one of them snarls that their ready for it as they 'hate Northerners'.

    Saveloy is for tourists mate. Get some pie and mash down ya, with plenty of liquor, that'll see ya right.

    Once saw a documentary with Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols being interviewed in a pie and mash shop.  Was shovelling the stuff down like Augustus Gloop whilst telling the interviewer he had a reaction to the sauce and would have a swelling in his hands the next day.  Either very good or he's very stupid.  Could be both.

    warne: great lad your in I can tell your a great human 

    I heard that he panicked and said DCFC beanie hat.  He's now been demoted to the possible list.

    Sad news and further indication of how time flies.

    I grew up watching football in the 90s and I became an adult mid 00s.

    The players I grew up watching are all pretty much retired now bar the odd one or two exceptions (Ronaldo and Messi are 39 and 37 this year!).

    Players I grew up watching are now managers, and managers 20-30 years ago are now elderly and in some cases unfortunately passing away.

    Different times back then when information on dieting wasn’t available and habits such as smoking was common among those in their 50s+.

    We've just substituted any vices for copious amounts of daily stress instead.  The 90's were fab which is why the football always seems a special memory.  I'd go back tomorrow.

    Couple of things here, last season was our first in League 1, not only would incoming players be sold the bounce straight back up dream, Rooney was still around whilst deals were being lined up.

    18 months later, are we to believe Warne hasn’t signed any quality players, players which have us 2 points off the automatics? Nelson, Wilson, Ward, are they crap?

    To top it off and suggest Warne isn’t respected at this level, come on, his CV will earn him respect, let’s not needlessly slander the guy because we’re not signing players that we want and he may have no interest in.

    Not convinced on that one.  He fecked off on day 1 of the new ownership when he realised he wouldn't get his pudgy mitts on a percentage. Before that, we couldn't have lined up a bloke to paint the stands never mind any players.

    And the club, and the facilities, and the “project” (prospect of promotion etc), the location, the player’s family situations and so on.
    Once again quite complex situations being reduced down to simple binary terms seemingly loaded against Warne. 
    I watched an episode of “stick to football” earlier in which Gary Neville and co debate the transfer situation at a club and it made for interesting viewing. Included an amusing anecdote in which Keane tried to sign a player for Sunderland (Anelka maybe 🤔) who told Keane after meeting him for a couple of hours he needed to think about the decision, and as he got in his car and drove out the car park Keane got a text saying “I’m joining Bolton cause my wife wants to live in Manchester”.

    Yes Warne and his style of football (or lack of) will play a part, but there’s more to it for the players, their families, and the agents involved.

    It was Matt Taylor.  Don't recall the Manchester bit thougth.

    Strange to show him around the place if we haven’t got the cash to pay for him 

    I'd assume he'd be free to come and look if the clubs have agreed a fee.  If not, then no.  We have a fair few players who may not fit here but could fit in there who have 6 months on contracts.  A player swop wouldn't be unheard of I suppose.

    Jesse Lingard’s career ending decision: 📸 https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/25075099/jesse-lingard-offers-newcastle-fulham-nottingham-forest/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=sunfootballfacebook090124&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR2KChNPvdMcbnT2E0uNgd9-GNzA7IaFYJsV9RHd-QddvKQ2mLRg-2vJpiU_aem_ASxIhxAjdbBAiquUfrVDJa1dtLpvyerv64sWBlAb59J3ksqvpvu_risWCUCDynKF-c0#Echobox=1704730428

    to summarise, he was offered two four year contracts from Newcastle and Fulham. He chose a one year contract at Forest. Which has effectively ended his career. 

    Forest, where crap footballers go to get crapper. 

    How much did they pay the ballbag to turn that down.  Probably find out in due course if the current FFP drama has legs.

    What happened to the supposed money available? 

    More money was made available when we missed out on Harris and was put up for another player we couldn't get through the door late on.  I assume that excess could be tied up in new deals as well for existing players, or new offers not yet taken up therein.  Could probably do with Bird s******* or getting off the pot.

    Who do you think we could sign for a couple of hundred thousand pounds that would improve the squad?

    Spend a few hundred thousand on loan fees would be an option we didn't have last year apparently.  Served Plymouth well and can lead to a permanent if promoted.

    Would it be fair to say that is pretty much Warne’s team - full of his signings? Vickers, Elder, Bradley, Ward, Fornah, Wilson, Nelson, TJJ etc. Only Nyambe didn’t play? I can’t recall really but it’s a little bit of a worry for me because only Nelson and Nyambe, and Wilson at times, look any good. I am a little underwhelmed with his signings so it feels a bit like the pressure is on, in terms of January signings. 

    Anyway. I didn’t care about this cup and didn’t go so I can’t really grumble about what was seemingly a half-arsedperformance.

    Are you happy to see Warne sign more in January based on the likes of Fornah, Bradley, Ward, Washington 

    Didn't sound like we're making headway on signings. Possibly due to making 5 or 6 signings who are crap/ not right for this side in the positions

    We got David Marshall off them as well so point taken.

    Anyhow Sammon was pony so fair game. 

    Good under McClaren in 2014.  Barker loved him for the muscle. He really helped Martin against the bruisers in the last third of games.
