Looking forward to it too. Hopefully there's some decent wall charts about, love a good tournament wall chart!

I don't think it's a case of clubs not wanting him, I'm sure I remember reading some article that said he has actively turned down approaches in certain countries because he can't speak the language sufficiently and doesn't want to learn. So he's immediately limiting his pool of available jobs.

He didn't bottle it, that's a deliberate tactic they've used on other occasions this season. Let the player with the ball take any flack/mind game comments from the keeper/opposition, then pass the ball onto the real penalty taker at the last minute.

They are only 3 points above the bottom 3 with the same goal difference as Birmingham and a worse one than Plymouth. Their last two fixtures are Coventry at home and Leicester away. Blackburn are in no way out of the woods yet with two games still to play.

I must admit I'd forgotten all about that little AP/Team17 spat. I didn't remember them being overly harsh on Team 17 games and a quick Google brought up the following 'evidence' (see link below). https://theweekly.co.uk/ap2/dissent/vendetta.html As an aside, I must be one of the few people...

Has Hermansen seriously had enough to do to justify being best keeper this year? Is this voted for by fellow professionals in the division or is it managers, or some other arbitrary review? Considering Leeds have three players in it you'd have thought they had absolutely pulverised the rest...

Would agree with you about Q and The Word which were both excellent. A very specific genre, but I loved Amiga Power back in the day, a very funny and entertaining read not to mention generally honest reviews.

Better view from the Humber Bridge than I thought...

It does help when you have Chelsea with their billions tripping over themselves to stuff cash into your bank account (but you have to recruit the players that they want first, so fair play to their recruitment model).

Barlaser is great when teams sit off him and give him time and space. It's a pity there's only the bottom 5 or 6 teams in the championship that'll do that.

Will definitely help make a case to any players we are interested in signing in the summer if we finish strongly and keep the run going. If we're around the playoffs we can point to what might have been but for injuries etc.

Sorry, but I beg to differ, the current badge is completely awful, it's like some medieval coat of arm from King Arthur's court, dreadful. I've hated it since it came in and have never bought any club merch with it on for that reason. (NB: I have had a shirt bought for me with the current badge...

Shows that many of the top clubs are signing or retaining players purely to generate income and not just to find for the first team. Seems quite cynical, but I suppose it makes good business sense. Chelsea were doing it for years with their mass of players out on loan who were sold on without...

He's been a typical young player for me, inconsistent. Has shown some really good qualities and had some good games, but he's also been poor in games too and at the moment has rightly found himself out of the team. At his age and with the potential to improve I wouldn't be against signing him...
