Honestly, we have zero functional fullbacks at the club. We have Coleman, who's body is in ruins, Patterson, who we have seen repeatedly fail to impress, and O'Brien, who is a centre half who is serviceable as a fullback, but isn't a fullback. If...

Men - do better, be an ally

Needs plenty of minutes over the next 6 months, just the risk you always take with a loan to the Championship is that the manager there quickly loses interest and discards him, making the whole exercise pointless. I'd see if a club around Europe...

Was only 12 months ago when he was looking sharp in friendlies and there were a few voices demanding he start the season, prior to his unfortunate injury. For me, we’ve not seen enough of him to make a justified decision around his talent, but I...

Nigel Martyn first time around.

Aww I'm very sorry to hear this mate. By the sounds of it there's nothing you could have done, clearly he was going through dark times but if he doesn't reach out, and you live so far apart that you don't physically see or hear about him, how...

The decision is out in the open now, you've faced the worst of it. Try and relax, all the stress of the decision is done, hauling yourself over the coals is only prolonging the mither. Remember, because the decision has been so painful, there can...

He just said I've really hurt him and for that he doesn't want me as best man now, and that I shouldn't bother coming. Well yes... that is exactly what I was getting at. It's just nonsense how selfish and daft he has acted towards me the past 6...

Short term, meh. Might be a bit bumpy. I say meh as it seems he's shown you little respect. Long term, you'll have done what's right by you. Just my take.

Last night I finally bit the bullet and told him I will not be his best man and that's he's making a mistake by rushing into this whole marriage idea. He's of course reacted badly and I think that's likely it for our friendship. We have hardly...

50+ points. If we can manage 48 back-to-back with a limited squad and limited manager then surely we can improve on that by at least 5 points. The only thing is the new stadium, it could take us a few months to settle. I doubt we'll have 20...

How can renewing a player who has demonstrably and undeniably shown himself to be awful be in anyway a positive thing? It's nothing other than pathetic. And if Dyche were still manager and done this they'd be absolute uproar.

Letting rip a proper loud fart when there's nobody else around.

Branthwaite normally picks up an injury at some point and there’s no guarantee that Tarkowski comes back the same with a serious injury at his age. Even at 4th choice, I’m sure Keane would end up getting game time at some point next season. That...

There's a difference between a team collectively losing you points and an individual literally gifting goals to the opposition, though, isn't there? You can point to multiple specific occasions with Keane where he has turned wins into draws...
