That's the one anomaly that came to my mind too so for you to mention it only gives weight to my argument that there were very few poor signings.

What you haven't taken into consideration or maybe was unaware of was that Scoular never had a great deal of money to spend. If we managed to get 2 or 3 new players a year we were lucky and they were...

Scoular didn't suffer fools gladly that's for sure. A very, very tough man and yes I suppose he would be considered a bully in today's more 'enlightened' times.

He did have the good fortune that a...

A great Clough quote was, "He's a hard man is Jimmy Scoular. He had me against the dressing room wall when we beat them 5-1 at their place".

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Lennie Lawrence, a good solid likeable manager who got us promoted in his first season and thereafter did well to establish the club in the Championship.

My main...

If we really must extend his contract and I'm not for one minute advocating that we do, perhaps a one year extension with an option for an additional 12 months if certain parameters are met. For...

I know exactly what Eric means. We were safe after the Stoke home game and there were still 2 games to go. We've seen today what can happen when there is nothing to play for.

Last season in our...

As usual a good write-up Bob. I would imagine you're quite relieved to have a break from commenting on this dross week in week out.

From being ambivalent towards Bulut's potential contract...

The Morrocan who scored a hat-trick against Villa tonight.

Yeah but at least they had a few seasons in the sun...

Time to move to Cyprus then. Support Apoel or Limassol and the weather's great.

Without any evidence to back it up I get the feeling that the SNP's fortunes are on the wane and will be very surprised if their drive for independence gains any traction in the near future. That...

LIke Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard.....

We're 15 points clear of the relegation places and who's to say Brum and Huddersfield have not had lucky wins along the way.

No one is denying the performances have been anything other than bad...

Put it like this. If we were very near the bottom of the league but playing good football, the feeling amongst most fans would be to win ugly if necessary because we desperately need the points.
...

Um, I don't recall saying that it doesn't matter to me. Nor did I give any indication that I am unconcerned how we win games. In fact my very first sentence clearly states that I'm not Bulut's...

I was at the game, one of very few away games I've ever been to. Think it finished 0-3 in a game we totally dominated.

I'm not Bulut's biggest fan but since March he's won 6 out of 10 games and those without a recognised striker and missing arguably 2 of his best players. Regardless of how we won them, we still beat...

As Captain Mainwaring would say, "You stupid boy !"

Black Magic chocolates.

Am I the only person on God's Earth who remembers a chocolate bar from the early 60's called Bliss. It was about the length of a Picnic with about 6 segments. Each segment had a creme and walnut...

I know it's each to their own Bob but c'mon ! Caramac and Bar Six should be dished out as a punishment not a treat. I really hope Bar Six has been confined to the annals of history. A confectionery...

You dirty bas***d lol

Turkish Delight has really split the vote on here. I have and always will be in the love it camp.

Liquorice Allsorts are great but not too fond of liquorice on its own. Anyone remember liquorice...

By far the most sickly confectionery I can recall is Caramac. Makes me nauseous just to say the word. Not too far behind was a Bar Six, which is like a desiccated version of KitKat.

Unlike the the...
