Agree with all of this, Reed was neat and tidy for them last season, without ever being spectacular. As for Lamina, I was at West Brom where he was great and I was at Wembley where he disappeared. If fulham can get the best out of him, he'll do OK, lots of questions over his injury record and general application though.

Don't know if this happening for others, but the Criminal XI thread appears 3 times in the main listing. Same thread, just listed 3 times. Strange.

Ok.

Stand by for a new panel full of political correctness, should make for riveting viewing.

Crud...! F*ckin' Crud...!!!! I'll have you know that some of the finest amateur literary minds of all time have contributed to that '14 years of crud...!' It amounts to a fans work of art about our beloved team, as seen from the terraces. Crud.... ffs!

Same issues as Wes - site has become basically unusable unfortunately.

This.

This is fast descending into the Ekon Kenyan hotel photos live and love thread......

Is this bad, do I need to do anything?

TalkSport just reported that we have done the deal at 12 million.

This is all a bit speedy now, can you slow it down a tadge for us old codgers....!!!

Continually getting this now: 502 Bad Gateway nginx/1.18.0

Awful way to lose a final, but both sides look pretty crap to be honest.

Quite funny actually, the article pretty much mocks him, both with the headline and the parting sentence. Methinks Mr Hoedt needs to lower his sights somewhat....!

Adam lallana looking very lonely at Anfield tonight.

No mate, I'm the president of the 'Chaz Austin Pressing from the Front' school of soccer tactics!

Charlie Austin back to haunt us next season.....

Wow, forest......

Pen city Great save, easy tap in from the rebound

Something that I have come to conclude as well. Nobody wants to be on the end of a 0 - 9 and there is a lot of pain and soul searching that has to take place when it happens. But on reflection, I tend to agree with you. At the time, Leicester were flying and second in the league I believe, so after the sending off, had we lost 5, even 6 nil, perhaps it would've been put down to a 'bad day at the office' , file 13 and move on. But because the score was so embarrassingly bad it forced us to have to take a long hard look and reflect on how we needed to change things. I was at the game 3 days later at the Etihad and you could see that there was no confidence whatsoever and nobody really wanted the ball, we needed a complete rebuild in that regard. Let's face it though, we were never a 9 nil team, yes we were bad, but not that bad...! The 9 nil, did two things, it set the bar really low, and meant that realistically we could only get better - it was the almighty kick up the 'arse that we needed this season. Don't want to experience it again - but the club, manager and players took a massive negative and turned it into a positive over the remaining course of the season.

We are all over the place...

Ain't that the truth.

Aaah well chance to climb league missed

How's PEH doing?

Make mine a whiskey, a large one..
