maybe so, but if you watched the Man City game you will have seen a side carve open the league champions time after time. I didn't see them do that to us.

they took Man City apart last week. We worked extremely hard, pushed high up the field and tactically got it right. I think we nullified them rather than them being ****.

lets enjoy the stiffer defence for two minutes before we start moaning about the lack of attack. Not long before we have people moaning that we didn't sign enough attackers...

panto is full of jokers.

I know AL is not to be criticised on here but he has dived in the past and he went down easy on one of the occasions today. Sometimes its just because he lacks that pace and is desperate, but other times he just falls far too easy. Not sure about the one in the second half, but cry wolf and what do you expect. I hate divers with a passion. I couldn't stand Skacel for the exact same reason. Three game ban for any diver caught doing it IMO.

there is no influence.

I was concerned Cork wouldn't have the tight enough control for the Prem, but I was so wrong. Absolutely outstanding game from him.

on top throughout so right to not make subs. Mayuka was an option, but Ramirez always offers that little bit if quality and I can totally understand why we kept it as it was.

I agree with all of this and think Niccy should be taken to task on it. It's just your theory that he is meddling with the side that I don't agree with.

Any mistakes in selection are made by Adkins. Any mistakes in formation are made by Adkins. Any mistakes made when doing the subs are down to Adkins. The mistakes in the transfers are down to the transfer committee. The mistakes on the pitch are made by the players. Flip that and all the successes are down to the same set of people. Cortese's actions should be scrutinised, especially ticket pricing, treatment of fans and the spending/loan he has taken out. I agree also that any interference with teams affairs should get the same treatment, but I see no interference or any evidence of it. Adkins dictates the formation running through the club not Wonga or Reed.

Guly has come on a few times near the 75 minute mark and that means Adkins is a puppet. Do me a favour.

I question the chairman, but the theory that Wonga dictates team selection is inaccurate.

I'd also suggest White Star on Oxford Street.

where has the £33m BVI figure come from or is it just a hopeful guess?

Nirvana at Reading

it's ********. This seaosn alone he didn't come on for Everton or Villa.

I don't think the PSt is going to be run like myfootballclub.com they have nominated a CEO and he and his board would make that decision just like any other club. This however might upset the fans/stakeholders

Pretty much how I feel. Hopefully he will prove to be a very good manager at Blackpool as that will mean the skates are now weaker for him going. We will see. He ill need to get Blackpool into the play offs otherwise he would have failed IMO given how well they did last season. I wonder if he will be able to keep Mat Philips and Ince in the window?

so how do we find out what the loan amounts to in terms of size and interest rate etc.?

haven't bournemouth got a squad that by rights should be near the top of the league? Have we? Not sure a change of manager always has the right effect as we saw the last time we went down.

This. IMO we should get Jos back in the side, written off far too early as Fonte wrongly was, then get an extra non attacking body in midfield (preferably Prowse, maybe Cork) and lets become a little harder to beat.

my memory is poor, but didn't you say something similar when the clot moved to pastures greener? Your response to uncle avram's departure is well beyond my grey matter, enlighten me if you can remember.

by the time Cork is fully fit he will have become the best player we have ever seen. He wasn't even first choice towards the end of last season in midfield. He's not a fullback or a centre back.

Jack Rose ‏@Roseyboy3 @talkSPORTDrive no ones on decent wages, Appt kept club going single handedly over the summer. Shut up about things you know nothing about talkSPORTDrive ‏@talkSPORTDrive @Roseyboy3 one player on £8k a week fact, so god knows what the average is

now we know what Simon Blackpool was talking about "I am forced to wonder therefore, at what point we accepted that Blackpool was going to become a refuge for the dispossessed and the never-possessed?" Only kidding. Personally I think Appy did a reasonable job all things considering. The squad he inherited was utter ****e and the loans HE brought in, such as George North, were by far and away their best players last year. Putting a completely new side together with (the totally justified) restrictions on contracts, no matter what the wages offered might be, was a tough assignment. I thought he came across well and was pretty dignified. I'm surprised they have won quite so many games as they have. I'm sure most will disagree, but I'd like to think they will get worse now not better.
