This is spot on! We are not a big club. Not in any sense really. I preferred the time when we knew we weren't. Other than a short spell in the top flight 30 years ago we are doing what we have always done. The surroundings are brilliant, no question, but this doesn't make a big club. What...

I'm all for the club using new techniques to try to be successful. Reemploying or using to a greater extent the human element seems a no brainer to me. It is often when statistical data is overused when things go awry. All the statistics used are past data and can in no way be relied upon to...

Contactless and E-Cash can run at the same time. Contactless is just a method of payment for smaller transactions. If e-cash goes then it's not being replaced by contactless as they could have had them on the previous card machines. But YesPay didn't have contactless on their Epos enabled...

You can't expect a Chairman to get all decisions 100% correct. Look at those they employ. The manager and players make mistakes on a regular basis. Mistakes can be compounded also but I think when Sami left there were moves to address a number of the mistakes. To my mind based on comparisons...

From what I know of our Spanish contingent they were pretty well paid. This included residential costs that were part of their package and I know in Dave's case it was massive. However for me whenever Orlandi played we looked a better side. He could unlock a defence better than anyone here...

Poorly written post by me there. I meant could NOT get me to park in there again!

I parked in Bennets Field for 2 the first 2 seasons and I can honestly say 12 million floodlights, stewards that direct traffic or entertainers employed to keep drivers entertained to stop them from slitting their wrists could get me to park in there again.

Since when is moaning at others leadership? Hardly inspirational?!

He never did any such thing! Brown was going round saying he'd got rid of boom and bust which everyone knows is impossible. Further, his economic policy banked on the easy supply of credit to the banks and the general population so the economy could grow. Not once did Brown or anyone warn about...

Great post OP. Interesting to see which direction TB decides to go with respect funding greater losses now they are going in the right direction.

Any premier loans should complement what is in place, not be viewed as a solution. This is exactly right. Spot on. That is all....carry on.

Ok I will bow to your highlights as I don't have any. I am saying Greer should be dropped. Because he has been consistently poor. I believe part off this is the absence of Bridcutt. He shields him with his break up of play and gets the ball off him so Greer doesn't need to hit it long. In...

El Abd is no more limited than Greer. The difference is that one has been poor on numerous occasions and moans at others for his mistakes. I've never thought he's been bad until this season. Positioning has been poor, numerous times. He let the player turn in Tuesday and has done it before...

No we are not because he is not to blame for Greer's poor form. Greer allowed the striker to turn and shoot on the six yard box on Tuesday, gave a poor penalty away today and that's just two of a list this season. Upson may have made two, although I don't remember his one on Tuesday, but they...

I think El Abd is perfect to replace him. Has fight and heart and is decent defender too. Greer's been making to many fundamental defensive errors this year. It's a massive call to drop your skipper but one I'd be happy with.
