On a different tack altogether, I just noticed that tomorrow will be my five (5) year anniversary of joining the asylum that we call NCFC not 606 <yikes>
I know time seems accelerate as one gets older, but that is just frickin' unbelievable!
Anyone remember how soon after the BBC 606 fans forum closed that this, 12 yards (?) and all the other replacements were spawned.
Anyhow, good luck Chris, Jacob and Bradley - if involved,
I'm going down the Red Lion for a pre-anniversary pint <cheers>

Oh, forgot to say. Heard there were clubs looking at Chris Martin! Cant remember who, but 3 clubs were mentioned. I think it was like....Stoke...those kinda teams. Solid, regular Premiership sides. Again showing what I've always said. We release our youth players for a free or a few thousand. If they were the same players at Ipswich, they would have been played week in, week out, and they we would have got about 12m for them! We work nothing like Ipshit, in youth development. I dont know why. The only difference I can see is, they play their youth in the first team, regularly. We never do.
 
Rooney just offside. Goal given. Anyone surprised?! Nope. Even the commentators mentioned it, then forgot about it quickly. If it was the other way around, this would be all over the front and back pages tomorrow. How Man U got cheated by a ref decision! As it is, will just get reported as "Man U taking the lead"

Could you possibly name our youth who regularly play in our first team? You obviously know something that I don't, most of our youth that show a bit of talent are released or loaned out...

I was thinking more historically. Dyer, Ambrose, Bent, Wickham, Mings, et al.

Tommy Smith not playing? Or Luke Hyam?

Where is Ted Bishop?
 
Boro, agreed a fee around 9M for Rhodes! They will be going up this season!

Can't believe The fees these Championship clubs are paying.
