Tremendous how he took that goal at the weekend, great movement had poor Dan burn on his arse and a proper leap and technical power header left the keeper stranded.
A difficult goal made to look very easy and simple - always the sign of a decent...
Would be disappointed with the club if they offered to be a stepping stone club. Can't see Moyes approaching a potential signing that way either.
As for Delap, sounds like he's in demand, he can pick and choose. Playing in Europe would be a pull...
It isn’t something that doesn’t happen fairly often with struggling clubs , who put together an inspired run to mid table security.

Don’t entirely disagree with your last sentence, but if we disallow the bulk of our history , how do we sell a club that has achieved nothing in 30years ?
That’s a hard sell
Whether he comes to us or not, it would be good for this to be resolved quickly.
This link is taking up a lot of oxygen, and it’d be nice for it not to continue to do so for another month or two before there’s a resolution.
I feel like the...
