  1. Do you have any decent players this season? What was your overall opinion of Miyachi? Yeah, they were just woefully mis-managed and trained. Miyaichi started off brightly, but faded out as the season went on. Wouldn't have minded seeing him back, but we went for Afobe for some bizarre reason.
  2. We've been shite the last 18 months really, and he's shown no sign of arresting the slide. The Championship looks close this year which is good, despite being awful so far we're only 6 points off the playoffs.
  3. Ooh, we're first up on the Football League Show!
  4. Quite happy with this signing actually. Liverpool fans said the same about Spearing yet he's been the MotM in our last two matches. Maybe the Championship is more his level, which is exactly what we need at the moment.
  5. Wanting rid of Coyle? Yep. We're making the same mistakes time and time again, and I've lost count of the number of times we've collapsed in the second half. No tactical nous whatsoever and seemingly no motivational skills.
  6. We are absolutely god-awful. Need a change at the top right now if we want to have a chance of bouncing back. The question is, who do we get in?
  7. To be fair he was about an inch from being a Premiership player this season
  8. Bolton have signed Keith Andrews and Matt Mills in the past few days. Hardly spectacular, but good solid Championship signings.
  9. I wonder if they're going to build a statue to him, clearly one of your all-time great players, after he leaves. It's the least that he deserves. Maybe you could name a stand after him too?
  10. Nicko says we're in for Carlos Sanchez (Colombian defensive midfielder who used to play for Valenciennes) on a free. Then again, two days ago he said Reading, Udinese and Genoa were in for him. Anyway, watching Ecuador v Colombia and he seems a beast.
  11. Lee is (apparently) contracted till 2015, not 2013, so good luck lowballing us.
  12. To be fair, when was the last time England were good?
  13. On the Mark Davies issue, I just saw a stat which claims he's the most successful dribbler in the Premiership! Rather bizarrely, Reo-Coker was second. Really hard to say. I know we've released quite a few players (most of which were surplus to requirements), but if we can keep hold of the rest and even get a couple in, we have a great shot. Petrov, Ricketts and K Davies are staying which is good news, they should do well in the Championship. NRC hasn't left yet (though he has a clause which says he can go to a Premiership club), and if we can (somehow) keep hold of Holden and Lee, we should be sorted. I get the feeling though that next season's Championship is going to be more competitive than ever.
  14. Yeah, I'd say he was an improvement. This season was really the first time he's got games in the Premier League after a succession of injuries. I think he'd be great in a winning team, though he was found wanting on occasion in our basket case of a season. However, I can't really see it happening as I think we'd want £5M+ and I'm not entirely sure you'd be willing to pay that for someone who won't necessarily be first choice.
  15. Mark Davies a hard worker? This is news to me. Seriously though, he's talented and might do well if you played him in front of Tiote and Cabaye. He's got absolutely no defensive positioning though so wouldn't work if you want 2 in midfield. He's got 3 years left on his contract, so a lowball offer won't really help
  16. Was impressed by NRC, did well despite trying to do the job of three men in midfield. Shame he's leaving (not left yet), but I guess that's another big earner off the wage bill. We've apparently reduced the wage bill by 50% with all these players leaving - if we can bounce right back we'll be in much better shape than we have been in a while.
  17. Yeah, Jussi is finished as a top-level keeper. Bogdan still makes the odd mistake but looks a lot more promising. Edit: Keep forgetting we're not in the top level any more
  18. Kevin Davies's goal: better than Cisse's?
  19. Ah, we've drifted in to 10/1 since I posted that. Depends if you prefer more long trips down South really.
  20. We're only 5th favourite for the Championship next season.
  21. How much will home game tickets be next season? No idea. Season tickets were the same price as this season. 4 more games for the same price - value for money!!!!!
  22. Right. Time to rebuild. We have Knight, Jussi, Klasnic, Robinson, Steinsson, K Davies, Gardner, Sean Davis, Sam Ricketts, Blake and Petrov out of contract, all of whom are on a hefty wage. Give K Davies and Ricketts new contracts and f*ck the rest off. If we can avoid selling more than 3 of M Davies, Reo-Coker, Lee Chung Yong, Holden, Ngog and Eagles, we should be alright. Should be the 'best team in the Championship' next season. In hindsight, relegation was a blessing for you guys. Hopefully it will be for us too.
