Not quite on the Joelinton deal level but WTF was the transfer about?! We had Manquillo, Yedlin not to mention Hayden can play there yet we spunked £5m on him?! He's horrendous!

Martin Dúbravka (now playing for Burnley)
Paully replied to Figures 1-0 Football's topic in Football
I can't believe he's not back in! Darlow has done very well but has been shaky as lately - the number of times he's came out and flapped / missed crosses and has gone unpunished is crackers! Dubravka is a better keeper and has to be in on Sunday! -
I’ve just seen that one of his quotes post match was; “I think the players are enjoying it” WTF! If any of them are then they need to be booted out as soon as this clown goes!

I’m not sure anyone listens to his interviews - his accent is horrendous and his patter even worse!

Clark and Krafth carded and Werner anytime - 60/1

... And he approached them. 10000%! Not a chance they would have attempted to bring in Rafa!

The usual bigging up the opposition

Was the Anglo-Italian mind. Got a lift to it by a mates dad and he was bit keen that we got out early to avoid the rush, pulled a pretend toilet trip and snook back in to catch Mickey Quinn's goal. Later honed the technique to skive whole lessons at school and kill time at work. Few weeks later my art-teacher tutor mocked up a laminated black and white birthday card with Keegan's face superimposed on a figure. Probably the material possession I've had and lost that I most miss now. Gonna watch the Bristol City home-coming match this week. It really was a genuinely messianic feeling that week and that game to a kid just felt like something massive was happening the afternoon after I heard the news and all week. I went to every home game that season including the Anglo Italian Cup games. We played Leicester, Ascoli and Cesena at home in the competition. Ascoli game was mental. David Kelly got sent off for King fu kicking one of their players and I somehow ended up on the pitch during all the chaos immediately after that. Only 9k or so there but it just went crazy. The Cesena match I remember because I took an inflatable hammer with me for some reason and it was confiscated at the turnstile. Was the lowest crowd I've ever been in at SJP (circ 4,600) and I remember a cat just strolling around an almost deserted Gallowgate end during the 2nd half. Ha ha the umpa lumpa! Sheedy scored a great free kick in that Leicester 4-0 iirc! Scary that it's nearly 30 years ago FFS!

Mad the number of times Fulham haven’t got what they deserved this season!

Owen Peterson’s Facebook - brilliant! Seeing a lot of love for the most important person in NUFC modern day history, as it’s his 70th birthday today. Here is a personal story to me that shows Kevin Keegan’s kindness. Back in 1996 when I was a YTS trainee at the club, one of the duties was assisting the kit man to put out training gear for the players and coaches. I was on coach room duty. I was 16 years old, pretty unassuming and shy. Anyway, it’s about 10am and I’m laying out the coaches kit and in walks KK along with his mob-handed management/coaching team. I recall it being a pretty cold morning. Keegan rubs his hands together and the dialogue went a bit like this. KK - “Cold one this morning, gents. Let’s get the kettle on. Terry (McDermott), coffee? TM - “Yes, please. Coffee one sugar”. KK - “Arthur (Cox)?” AC - “Yes please, gaffer. Tea white please”. KK - “Budgie (John Burridge)?” JB - “Fantastic, gaffer. Coffee black”. KK - “Chris (McMenemy)?” CM - “Great, tea white, one sugar please, gaffer”. KK - “Owen?” The fact he knew my name felt like I’d scored a 25 yarder in front of a packed Gallowgate. Me - “White Tea, two sugars please, Gaffer”. The room had a moment silence before the coaches laughed. I thought, ah shit, I maybe shouldn’t have asked for sugar like. Keegan’s head popped out of his t-shirt that he was putting on. He stared at me and said, “No, you’re making them you fuckin’ idiot”. This story still creases me mutha and fatha to this day.
