Pilko

If we can squeeze them to nearer £20m this sounds like it could potentially be a useful PSR exercise.

He should be fucking grateful he's still here after the shit show that was the back half of last season. Four or five games stood reading his kindle in net with fuck all to do, then palming in the Bromley opener, and he wants a pay rise just to see out his last six months?! I hope we tell him to fuck off, either stay and see it out or get off to Saudi. Ridiculous.

If he ever gets a song it has to be to the tune of 'Mustang Sally'.

Go and get the guitar.

I thought we'd play him yesterday as a shop window job to remind everyone that he's fit and available like. He must be absolutely chod if he can't get in against a League 2 side at home.

84,000 Massive Concert Fans

Aye, Wednesday night replay versus the 3rd round Saturday. Our 15k was still crap that night but I'd love to know what they'd drag in if they'd drawn with Stoke yesterday and replays were still on the table. Probably about 8,000.

say Huntington more eh Pilko. Super Stevie Taylor actually played instead at CB and got sent off, halcyon days.

Probably why Vlachodimos didn't play this afternoon, to minimise the number of Greeks tuning in and seeing Miggy play.

Given Solano S Taylor Ramage Huntington Milner Dyer Butt Pattison Sibierski Martins Nae fucking wonder

Keown looks fucking gutted, it's great

Good to see him back. Was a bit of a Henri Saivet situation as he got done in the run up to the Bromley goal but then raked one in shortly after to make up for it. Would like to see him get more minutes, hopefully he does.

I'm a big Sean advocate, but he was absolutely cack today.

Still looked quite raw but the goal was an absolute beauty. Hopefully now he's got off the mark he can relax a bit more in general play as my feeling was he's trying too hard to impress sometimes.

A game that really summed up most of his time here. Bags of endeavour, great graft and lots of smiles but fuck all quality or end product. He's had some great times with us but it's definitely time for him to move on, either now or in the summer.

I'm about as big a Longstaff fan as there is but he's been absolutely fucking dreadful so far.

Aye it'll be their fault that he palmed that shot into the net probably, for daring to allow a shot on target.

Told yous so. Shite.

Cup's a distraction anyway marra, need to focus on the title push, Le Bris a management genius letting Stoke win

Back shift at Nissan must be starting soon.

Same. He comes across really well in the Undr the Cosh interview he did, is effusive for his praise for the region and the people up here and seems like a likable bloke. He's done a class job at Bromley also, top half in League 2 as it stands, first ever EFL promotion and an FA Trophy. Some going on a fairly ordinary budget.

Do they never learn Remember "setting the transfer window on fire" and "mags green with envy" in 2011? ... ...Craig Gardner, Ji Don Wan, Connor Wickham, Elmo and Wes Brown

Williamson is pulling in some decent players to try and get Carlisle out of the mire like, ones who are better than League 2 level anyway.

I've learned that on 9/10 occasions, Eddie tends to know best in the end. But, there's still a minor narrative of him sticking with and trusting poor players longer than he perhaps should. The fact that Dummett and Ritchie were on for another year each if City had won the cup final, for example. PSR tied or not, both had been way past their sell by dates for years. Him doing so will definitely help the whole squad ethos that serves us so well, but that little bit extra ruthlessness of getting a better player back in there is for me the 1/10 time when he doesn't get it quite right.

Fuck me, I bet you're a right laugh at parties. You've dragged me into your dullard bath water now, so having Googled "several", various online dictionaries say "more than two but not many" by definition. Three, then. Much closer than fucking seven Dubravka had been incredibly poor throughout his run in the side last year and as someone else said in an earlier post, the rate we conceded goals spiked pretty heavily after he came in for Pope. I can't prove or disprove your theory on why Howe chose to keep him in the side after Pope was fit for selection again. But I know it cost us at Man U where Pope is almost certainly saving the Hojlund pea roller that Dubravka let in to win them the game.
