They won't. The 'Big Six" wanted a smaller PL because of all the European games they have to play.

Interesting quotes from Koln fans, from a post in July:- Koln Fans on Damion Downs. Most seem to be angry with the club for selling him - a missed opportunity "He needs time and experience. The quality is there especially with the ball at his feet. Not really a Target Man. The potential is there and he has been improving and developing through out the season. Would give him some time and maybe someone with experience by his side." --- "He is a good striker, but he needs to work on his first touch. But he improved in shooting and dribbling. His finishing is very good. I think you will have fun with him." --- "He probably needs another 1 to 2 years to realise his full potential. Dangerous in the box and a very good shot. First touch and positioning in space could be improved, he also needs to learn to use his body better. Probably best as a 9 or single striker.

My wife, who is not known for her football knowledge, was watching a Saints game on TV recently asked who Downs was as he didn't seem to be trying very hard.....

As I said earlier, Matsuki must be worth a try after his performance at Norwich.

or Matsuki......must be worth a go?

or Ellie Kildunne

I realise that there is a long way to go, but if seriously want to be promoted, we should be more in the mix than we are.

But most considered him lucky to achieve it as with the team that he had it should have been automatic.....apparently. I know that everyone absolutely loved his style of football.

Are people seriously talking about having RM back? Maybe Still won't turn out to be want we need.......but RM?

Loads of people had a problem with Gao's name, calling him Goa......and thats only 3 letters!

I thought Matsuki might have got more of a chance after his fantastic goal against Norwich.....

Problem is that we haven't been passing the ball forward.....we have been humping it and hoping for the best, which isn't good enough or effective....

Its on ITV and SKY

I seem to remember that a lot of people on here wanted him as manager over the closed season.....mind, I am very old, so may be misremembering..,..

Ummm......oops......

Marching Inland...a great Tom Lewis song. I got a "missing" third verse for that song, from the man himself.

I am obviously being really thick. Can someone explain this one?

Isn't he from Discworld?

It depends how far along these things already are. One minute Tom Fellowes is training with WBA, next minute we announce him.....

Wooden Horsa gliders....

Jack "Tugger" Stephens.......

Seems that they work more days than the players did under RM.......

Admittedly maybe a handleful have said "bin him off", but many more have already expressed extreme doubt as to whether he is the right person to take us forward. Did you see the Norwich match thread? A lot of nasty stuff on there (before the result) including labelling him the "Ginger Juric".....

We have lost one game out of six. Transfer window still open and there has been/is a great turn over of players taking place. WS probably still doesn't know what his squad is going to be until tomorrow evening. A slight whiff of over-reaction on here maybe?

He is to blame for every goal.........
