I won't miss St Andrews. One of the dreariest grounds in the country, and that lugubrious version of 'Keep Right On To The End Of The Road' sung in a Brummie accent ...
More likely his massive salary no longer fitted into the Times budget. As I know from personal experience, the Times can be ruthless when looking to make cuts. Henry is a decent guy as well as a workaholic, so I'm sure he'll get a few offers, although he may have to take the sort of wage cut...
We don't. A late friend of mine had two very nicely located season tickets, for himself and his daughter. When he died she made enquiries (through a third party) about transferring his ST to another family member but was told it couldn't be done. So she had the options of giving up both tickets...
The system worked so efficiently in Major League Baseball that the Miami Marlins actually budgeted every year for a certain amount of overspend by the New York Yankees coming their way via the luxury tax. One year when the Yankees didn't break through the salary cap it left a bit of a hole in...
We could use Lamptey wide on the left and move Adingra to the right. That sounds counter-intuitive as Lamptey is right-footed, but when he has played on the left, he has created chances. When he plays on the right, nobody gives him the ball.
Especially as anyone who hasn't covered the club before seems to think they are the first person ever to ask the question. Most regulars at the Lancing pre-match pressers can't be bothered as it's almost always the same answer or some variation.
I'm afraid we can't have it both ways. We like RDZ's ambition and it was probably the fact that he challenged the players to go for a top four finish last season that resulted in us getting into Europe. I doubt if the players considered themselves top-six material until he said it.
But why...
I always wanted him to be good when he got a first-team chance for us but he never was. On the available evidence, letting him go seemed to be the correct decision.
Looking at the Dunk 'error' again, the ball was spinning horribly out of a challenge on the touchline, it fell to him with an opponent coming at him and at an impossible height to volley away. There wasn't really very much else he could do. If anything. he was the victim of his own good...
I was talking to another fan of long standing yesterday and we agreed that we felt blessed to have lived long enough to see the club where it is now. We are on course for one of the three best finishes in our history, possibly even the second-best, and there is an outside chance (but no more...
He has shown so little for the amount we're paying that I can't say I'd want him even as a free transfer. Normally loan signings play brilliantly until the ink dries on a permanent contract, at which point they down tools and just collect the money. Fati has provided the occasional glimpse in...
If it was up to me, I'd start as we should have against Roma, by keeping it tight for 20 minutes. We simply cannot afford to keep gifting the opening goal or goals to average sides. And yes, I include Roma as well as Fulham and Wolves. Everyone has been praising Roma to the skies, but they...
They always used to say that the first aim in a European away leg was to keep things tight and quiten the crowd.
RDZ clearly had a radically different plan.
