We live in constant hope of something better I suppose , someone who will live up to their reputation and make a difference. For me , Hope departed long ago with the appointment of Dyche , and popped the keys through the letterbox with the return of Davey.

The other side of the coin , I suppose , is that Harrison does have some attributes which can contribute to the squad . He works hard , and is decent defensively. As someone to introduce to the game to help protect a lead whilst retaining some offensive ( don’t laugh !) threat , he is useful...

I do find this attitude to any player who chooses to back himself at the highest level odd. Squad size these days means a good player will get game time and the chance to prove themselves and become first choice. If you don’t have some self belief you aren’t likely to succeed anywhere . At the...

It’s also a pointless signing , since he offers nothing that can progress us . It’s up to our scouting team to find a superior player , and let’s face it , that shouldn’t be a difficult challenge .

The RS were rumoured to be interested in him a few weeks ago . I’m sure there have been a few other big clubs linked also .

So squad quality appears to be the constant during those 30 years perhaps ?

On the plus side , Everton Del la Mar are winning 3-0 . Just to lighten the mood a little.

If they are toothless I would recommend we book a trip to the dentists fairly urgently.

Not having achieved anything of note for three decades is it possible those poor preseasons have consistently provided a foretaste of what is to follow?

Is it ok to be mildly disappointed , or does that risk accusations of incontinence ?

Good signing this . Rate this as more impressive than the Barry deal ( if it completes , obviously)

You may be right . Can’t be bothered blowing smoke up a corporate giants rear orifice though , they have enough hired flunkies to perform that onerous task .

Would be pleasantly surprised if we signed this lad . The competition for his signature looks tough however , if reports are to be believed. Even our lovable neighbours hold an interest apparently.

Generally it’s not the buying club that leaks information for obvious reasons . And this player was rumoured a few days ago if I recall correctly, so something leaked from somewhere 😁.

I’ve noticed that too . Had it been named something like the ‘Toyota Stadium ‘ for instance, I feel certain I’d still be referring to it as BMD . It just sounds too impersonal , Etihad and Emirates lack a sense of place in the way Maine Road and Highbury once did . Surprised how easily Hill...

I think we already enough Longstaff quality players , solid, dependable but unexceptional. We need to be recruiting a level above that if we want to progress.

I’m sceptical about any links to Dibling , Southampton have placed a ‘keep off ‘ price tag on him . He is very talented but also very young ( 19 ? ). I doubt he is moving this window .

I get what you’re saying but if we finish 6th and win a cup it suggests we have progressed as a team and can look forward to more success in the future . Whereas if we win a cup but finish 14th it suggests we have got lucky in a knockout competition and not progressed as a team implying that the...

I don’t blame the players , I blame the game , the administrators past and present who have eroded its standards for the sake of their own personal greed and prestige . Who sold out to the television companies. Who lacked any moral stature to oppose the erosion of the game to a simple pursuit of...

I loved football back then . Best days of my life. Every aspect of it was superior. It was our game then . We were supporters , now we’re consumers. And the crowds may have been smaller but the atmosphere and noise generated dwarfs today’s efforts .
