One of the the greats of my life time, class player, class man.

Put his name to some cracking boots too

RIP

Luton an option for Mickey, if we get a centre forward in. Likely later in the window. Luton could surprise with their targets and players they're already talking to (very active!)

Please may this happen, a move that would suit all parties

The Paqueta situation is one to watch regarding our dealings in January. Clubs will come in or him, likely for next summer, once he would be cleared from all sorts of accusations. 100m. Paquetta has a release clause set at £85M doesn't he ? On the assumption he is not on a lengthy ban, if a club he...

Maybe on Moyes, but maybe on the guys/woman running the club. The club still is paper thin in terms of knowledge above/next to the coaching staff. Until last summer there was no one overseen player scouting/recruitement other then a single person. Since his appointment in late June Steidten still h...

Absolutely !

Boy were there, in their words, some "dum dums" in there though

He’s gone from being in and around the starting eleven for the previous two seasons, scoring a goal in the conference league final to help us win the trophy, to barely featuring this season. It’s clear he has no future here under Moyes, maybe he should have been moved on in the summer when his stock...

2 attempts at goal in a cup quarter final, against a much weakened Liverpool team. With the competition wide open in the semis and the final. 6000 fans showed up The manager and his team didn’t. Shocking, embarrassing, unacceptable performance, given what was at stake Gutted for those that travelled...

1. First Concert: The Jam supported by the Cure, Canterbury University, 1978. In at the deep end. Far better as a first gig than my Mum taking me & my sister to see Alvin Stardust at the Central Hall, Chatham in about 1972 2. Last Concert: Dirty Water, Chinnerys a couple of weeks back 3.

Same here, in a pub in Brighton

Agree re Fulham, we started brightly.

Within a minute of me saying that to my lad, followed by ‘that’ll be the kiss of death’, we were 1 down and capitulated.


Credit to Moyes for the set up and approach to the game yesterday, more of that please

He’s up there with our most consistent performers this season, quality player

Was a bit concerned to see Alvarez limping a bit as he went off and Moyes said in his post match interview that he had a dead leg at half time but wanted to try to soldier on for a bit. He took a whack in the first half on his thigh and stayed down for a bit. Never seemed to fully shake it off so m...

Thoroughly enjoyed that, after almost giving it a miss last and watching from my sofa. Glad I decided otherwise. We needed a performance like that, and were always in control. Bowen, Kudus, Paquetta, Alvarez, JWP all had very good games, as did the defence in the main. Coufal was excellent, the guy ...

First half was a tough watch and how many, me included, thought the game would go. In the main, we were pretty solid defensively and restricted their opportunities, but we had no way out at times and the game looked like an attack v defence training drill. As a footballing spectacle we were poor, as...

In the Battle of the Bland, honours were even. Neither team deserved to win that, awful game of football, once again. We sparked into life for the last 5 minutes of injury time, bit late that, as was any attempt at changing things by the manager. Games and performances like that happen, but I’d rath...

It all went downhill after Mick Channon's celebration broke the mould

Choreographed goal celebrations are not my thing. Spontaneous yes, pre-determined, no

The result was always going to be the most important thing last night, and we got it. Good goal too from a lovely cross. But the game, and the teams performance, was poor. Joe Cole at half time called it right, and few come out of it with a lot of credit outside of Areola, Soucek for a lovely finish...
