Yıldız or Yılmaz? I thought Yılmaz was the player we've been linked to? Both are common Turkish surnames.

Yeah it was definitely a home game. I remember sitting in the Milburn stand and he pinged one down the line when everyone else was playing the ball normally and it was getting caught up in the wind. Had to be either Boro or Bristol Rovers as I missed the 2-2 with Port Vale as I was in sixth form and had a school event on that Saturday at Chillngham Castle. In my mind's eye the oppo were in red so probably Boro. Looking at those results, we didn't do that well in his six games - the last one was horrific and probably spelled the beginning of the end of Ossie. I remember listening to that on Metro Radio on New Year's Day. Charles Harrison's radio link went down and he did the first 45 minutes over the phone if I recall correctly.

If we're thinking totally forgotten, and can include loans, then Paul Bodin was decent in the six games he played for us. I remember one game that was played in really strong wind, he was the only player sensible enough to drill passes into players at pace.

Would seem unlikely, aye. He's 21 on Sunday, (older than Lewis Hall and others around the first team), and seems the perfect fit for third cenre forward cover.

I think they actually had more single injuries than us last year, just no one got close to us for actual days lost to injury. Edit: I stand corrected on both points from this: https://www.givemesport.com/every-premier-league-team-ranked-injuries-suffered/ Something I saw a few weeks back said we had most days/games missed, followed by Sheff Utd. Perhaps the other figure I saw included Tonali?

Nice of them to get Pope's actual shoulder location correct on the shop dummy.

Yeah...was thinking that as I read it.

The article is bad enough, but this comment? Just...what?

Mind you, he also said that there are currently only two English managers in the Premier League - Eddie and Shaun Dyche. Gary O'Neil might have something to say about that.

Team just landed and taxiing. Would have been a three hour train ride for Gordon this morning from Berlin if he wanted to hook up with them.

Apologies if Giggs, but I've just discovered this: https://www.nonleaguefootballshop.co.uk/ Some great stuff in there. Their image for European/Overseas clubs/kits is just perfect.

Barry Venison's only goal for us v Villa was decent.

According to Wikipedia he also took Alan Smith to MK Dons from us - we're all allowed a few mistakes. 😂

From Monty Python's election night special sketch (topical): Arthur Negus has held Bristols. "That's not a result, that's a bit of gossip."

Oh, so close..... https://www.rudd-marquees.co.uk/

Yeah, I was thinking 10+. Would be surprised if he thought it would be the right move now.

I think he'd love the job, but am hoping he still feels it's too early. They'll definitely be asking the question though.

Thought you'd been on here longer than that 😂

It's bad. Euro 88 wasn't great either.

Shhh…! 😉

Taking Vlachodimos out of the equation, the profit on Minteh plus the sale of Anderson has basically paid for Isak. Will be interesting to see what Vlachodimos costs when that hits the books.

Dave McKellar would be my benchmark.

Trabzonspor?

Agree, although I'd expect him back involved sometime between Jan-Mar 2025 based on the return times of others who have done it. Same for Lascelles as he did his two weeks later.

Cash out surely…?
