In conclusion. We need a centre forward and a dominant centre back. Well, yeah........ We knew that. And without them we won. We won well, very well. Bring on the rest of the season. Love it.

I need to know how many passes thst was

This is the bit I don't miss from our last time in the league, that initial feeling of not knowing who 75% of these sides are.

A man we need at this moment. Fingers crossed for a good season from the Cornish Maldini.

We are in the championship, it's first game of the season and the scene of the first win we gained at this level after our last relegation from the top flight back in 2005. We are still light at the back and need a striker.... But I believe! 3-1. AA, Adams and Amo-Ameyaw. A Triple A start to the season.

Papa John's American Hot is the way.

Agreed. This is his level, we need him right now.

Try to join the circle of trust, then it gets interesting. Not that i'm a member mind, just passing on the information.

Yes, just go to the barriers and say you are visiting the shop.

This show how archaic the current laws are. The only way you can watch every game is illegally.... in 2023.

Another 20m+ in our pocket from a player we saw nothing from last year (Not his fault, granted......) Fine by me. Good luck Tino.

'Decider' is really good too when you get to it. One we can all relate to.

Not wanting to muddy the waters further, but it's actually 'Muffin' wanting the 18 lollies. And yes, she got them. 😄

Not sure how many parents are on here, but just watched an episode of Bluey with my little ones which I swear was inspiration for our transfer strategy this summer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezel82QccvQ

Job well done there. Good fee for a player who contributed f**k all when we really needed him.

How we could do with a Ricardo Fuller type player now.

It's got to be a striker from a lower PL side. Mateta from Palace or similar.

Missing the point entirely, of course he isn't free. Pay the money or f**k off.

Been thinking about how we lined up after relegation in 2005 to now. (Also about how our first three points gained back then was against Sheffield Wednesday, hope that's an omen....) From our first game in 2005: Niemi, Hajto, Lundekvam, Powell, Higginbotham, Belmadi (Wise 50), Oakley, Quashie, Prutton, Fuller (Delap 90), Jones (Walcott 73). Subs Not Used: Smith, Cranie. And our likely (Obviously open to a little debate) side for Friday: Bazunu, Tino, Stephens, Charles, Manning, Smallbone, JWP, Alcaraz, Tella, A Armstrong, Amo-Ameyaw Honestly, Clearly put in Niemi. Maybe put Claus and Jones in, much happier with our current lot. Quite amazed that Theo nearly featured in both sides, just a sign of how young he was. That said though, a very clear slant towards experience was there in 2005. Dennis Wise for heaven's sake....

An honourable bloke who was out of his depth. WIll never forget the feeling of incredible disappointment whenever his name was on the teamsheet.

If we have a big offer from Chelsea, reject the Liverpool one.... His heart may be set on them, but we hold his registration. As you say, fingers crossed on Joe Shields.

Back in 2006 I parked on a grass verge essentially outside of the bridge to the main offices, on Catch bar lane. Did arrive quite early though.

Was offered the same deal. Would rather keep the tenner. Was paying £1.99 a month anyway.

Think it is time to move Djenny on if anyone might take him.

Looks like Reading are substituting, well, everyone.
