    My (possibly wrong) understanding was Rasmus was the data/numbers guy who would work with the football guy. That was supposed to be Joe shields who was the guy who would say “well yeah your numbers say that but I’m telling you in practice that is ****ing mental”. There was no Joe shields so Rasmus the nerd just went off his numbers

    Better keep 4/5 August clear then, just in case we're playing at home!

    We won't need the extra games with any luck.

    Brings back memories of weekday one in the last Championship season when we unexpectedly shredded Leeds and it just carried on from there, didn't expect it at all.

    Who could forget that Dean hammond thunder bolt! That set the tone for the season.

    We had a run of 21 consecutive home wins in all competitions between February and November 2011. It is a dim and distant memory now, but how we loved it back then!

    When 3 - 1 was our favourite score and Jos Cardboard box head only scored on a Tuesday night.
    Great times, until it all went wrong and we got promoted

    In the only two jobs he has had at the top level, he has been a failure.

    Scott Parker has got two different teams promoted from the Champ. He's a free agent, and he has a 9-0 on his CV.

    No but the Championship is still a level above the Austrian Bundesliga and the MLS.

    I can’t see us wanting to sour the relationship with City, so this is going to be an interesting one this summer.

    Oh man, if we are going to post every single rumour about Lavia, then the Summer Transfer Thread is gonna be a biggie.

    I don't know how these things work, but can Man City still table an offer above what their buy back is to make sure they get him back over him going somewhere else this summer?

    Yeah, they could bid £80m this summer if they wanted to.

    Does this put a move for ABK in doubt, or not?

    Not necessarily the injury, but the fact he keeps getting injured, perhaps.
