Katalinic

Not directly and not usually, but have been told a few things today on this one specifically, the latest being the Huddersfield loan. Assuming it's accurate anyway.

Huddersfield on loan apparently.

We have put a bid in but it's been rejected. Not sure as yet if we have gone back in with an improved one.

He chose Chelsea over us as a very young kid (well, his Dad did) and I believe we also enquired in the summer (slightly ITK) so this wouldn't be a surprise.

Thanks! All sorted, I suppose the "My Reserved Tickets" header should have been a giveaway

No, I'm not in these blocks and can't see that my tickets have been reserved, it doesn't give me that option.

From what I can make out season ticket holders aren't guaranteed their normal seat - mine appear to have already gone which is a bit annoying as usually there is a window to reserve them. An opportunity to sit somewhere else for a change I suppose so no huge issue.

They seemed more interested in that than celebrating the win. Weird lot.

I still remember their fans taunting us after the play off penalty shoot out in 2006-7. Not that I hold a grudge 😉.

Danish connection and currently training in Switzerland. You never know.

For a start it sounds like they have a strategy. Nobody ever really knew why Gao had taken us over and what his plan was. As with anything whether the strategy is a success, time will tell.

It happens so often. Other managers react to changes, ours doesn't, or can't.

There never is.

Ralph trying to be clever as usual and failing as usual.

We have been fucking good at conceding from our own corners for a few years now.

There was. I think I was sad enough to be "live" on the forum for it - like most, I just sat open mouthed staring at it in disbelief. I remember a photo was taken of those at the unveiling and their facial expressions said it all. Did Mandaric end up buying the original?

He has the odd decent game but everyone knows he isn't good enough consistently to be first choice.

The most frustrating thing about Ralph is that he never fucking learns. Even when we are on the up, he tries to get clever but ends up repeating the same poor decisions again and again. That is why we yoyo so badly.

Look out for the regular private jet between Newcastle & Bournemouth!

We've totally lost any kind of identity. Walcott starting and then staying on after half time is bewildering. I cannot think of an occasion where Ralph has influenced a game with decent subs. If he did go I wouldn't be that fussed.

His wife made him come home. Feel free to speculate as to why.

As I said a few weeks ago, I've only ever been ITK on 2 things, and one is that Howe was spoken to by the club before the season started on the basis a bad start could force them to pull the trigger on Ralph (the other less interestingly was the 2012/13 kit). The report last week ref. Howe and the Celtic thing was pretty accurate.

I believe the club spoke to Chelsea about Tino Anjorin a while back but not sure anything has progressed since. Maybe we got the other Tino instead.

Pretty clear that we are going to.
