I'd put Kyle in that bracket, the difference is that Jimmy Dunne was world class when playing for us. Much as I love TC, there we more than a handful of players ahead of him across the world at his peak.

Arguably our last world class player.

Me too that game and the friendly the following month at Poole Town were the wettest I've ever been at a match . We've has some low points since but Altrincham was the very bottom.

We should have a number 7 on our corner flags, I've long thought that.

In my recollection competitive United teams always need to; be one of the fittest , if not the fittest in the league and have one of the best keepers. Both of those could be fixed without spending a fortune. Having lived here for 40 years I'm a reasonably regular attender at St James Park. From...

With Matt Prestridge back some of them might start to get fit enough to play 90 minutes.

It was interesting to compare him to Sandro Tonali on Saturday. I'm sure someone can show me some numbers that make it clear that technically Berge is as good if not better, so is attitude alone worth an extra £50m? You can see Tonali's hero, Gennaro Gattuso, in everything he does. I suspect...

I'm not saying he wasn't their best player;) but that isn't a hard competition to win. I'd be interested to see how many total yards those passes amount to and how many went forward to someone in space rather than sideways or backwards. Burnley were dismal, maybe not the most dismal team I've...

Watched 80 mins or so of him on Saturday at Newcastle, until he was worn out chasing shadows and subbed, The same dead weight I recall from his time with us and amusingly, as he was Burnley's tallest player against a big strong Newcastle team, his tacking and heading seem to have got worse...

If we are going abroad.

I've always like the bit about bringing their families, as if they are not bad enough on their own.

Catholic set to become the next Pope.

Absolutely agree on Joelinton. IIRC it was an Cairan Clark sending off that forced them into a sufficiently early change tactical change for him to grow into the role over 80 minutes. Nobody had ever thought of playing him there, no even Joelinton. Everyone says it was genius on Eddie Howes'...

That one the Blades most famous keepers had a career there says it all.

I vaguely recall a defeat in the early 80s, there was a huge stand there with a small cover at the top. We didn't take many. I was difficult place to get to and I woke up the following morning in a static caravan in Mold, an even harder place to get home from:) Those were the days.

Extended runs in the top flight help maintain away followings for any club with decent support and the knowledge that Premier League allocations are relatively limited. In my experience in Newcastle, for example, tickets for away games are based on a points system and points can only be got by...

If you live in Bermondsey everywhere else on earth is disappointment.

Better avoid appointing Terry Robinson with his Manchester United obsession and complete incompetence. I remember being told that Warnock recommended him to McCabe because he knew he was weak. Neil's easy life was a high price for the rest of to pay.

We need him on the pitch, a seven on the corner flags would be an appropriate tribute.

And it pissed it down with no cover on their away end. Fair to say that our club reached its lowest point that night.

Report, of sorts, here.

I'd expect him to be capable, his fitness and basic ability isn't in doubt. My worry would be balls going over him and Egan's heads. Our keeper needs to be vocal and commanding. Clark's strengths and weakness is evident to anyone watching the last couple of seasons videos. I've go no reason to...

My daughter has Newcastle season tickets and lives in London, so i'm a reasonably regular witness of Cairan's performances. He's no longer a Premier league standard player so a step down will be good for him. Needs strong minded players around him because despite his age and experience he's no...

If the principle was removed agents would be much more sensitive to potential risk, so would act and advise accordingly. Hate to say it, but they might even become useful;) The idea of these parasites having a better claim on assets than the public, via HMRC, or a local business is revolting.

I suspect that at least 20,000 will turn up for the first season in the Midland League or wherever the phoenix club ends up. When they get back to the EFL they will all be back. I've often thought that this sort of journey would be preferable to the kind of purgatory clubs like Ipswich...

A Roma season ticket is all you need to cure homesickness. Just like Bramall lane, the singing at the start in the Stadio Olimpico is invariably the best bit. Not the best ground I've been to abroad but my favourite.

If he's still not getting games at Christmas it would be a terrible waste. A half season loan to Sunderland could be a wonderful present for us all.

Arsenal paid 19m for the right to give Leno a contract. My guess is that Leno is on three times Ramsdale's wage, at least so the costs to the respective clubs are not comparable. Guessing that the same is true of Brewster and McBurnie, ultimately our wage structure is the constraint on getting...
