Yes having Bodde offering a threat through the middle with his shooting ability will add something else and give us more room on the wings. However am I the only one to think that the Tottenham game might have been the real turning point for us? And induced the Villa result. We struggled at...

I'm sure I'm not the only Swan who has been eager for every bit of good news about FB over the last 3+ years, and this is great news. It really would be a fairy story if he can come back and really contribute this season. It has to be said that the odds are against him - its been a nightmare...

Whitershade...agreed this is disappointing and surprising - rather than shattering. Bad move for DDV I think - he may well end up #2 at a side that is more likely to go down next year than us. And then he will be struggling for the season after. I think he was good but never outstanding.

Yes - it really is official if the Beeb have it there - I've been waiting avidly for the BBC to recognise what everyone else knew 3weeks ago - but now its there on BBC Sport/Football/premier League - it looks very good indeed. Just in time for the fixtures - the promised land is nigh........ The...

Did you hear about the fat, alcoholic transvestite? All he wanted to do was eat, drink and be Mary. Got an e-mail today from a bored local housewife, 43, who was looking for some hot action. So I sent her my ironing. That'll keep the lazy b*tch busy. I got invited to a party and was...

I hope it is Bodde, he deserves it and it'll be good for us for sure if he's the man everyone is talking about after 38 games. However I also hope it is Sinclair (because it'll be he's scoring goals) (and failing that Graham - the new Jason Scotland??) and Williams (the man who's most stopping...

Beppe true but we're always going to concede corners and, versus Stoke, throw ins in our half. The Stoke comment was a joke - not everyone is going to attack us like but rest assured there are going to be times when we suddenly can't control possession - we do sometimes pass around too hard and...

Yes Ash, - harsh maybe - but I just get this awful sinking feeling whenever the opposition get a corner. We are a smallish side at the best of times and there seems to be no-one in charge and it should be DdV. Stoke are going to murder us unless we improve.

On a completely different tack my respect for RM went back up - never really went down that much I guess - following his rejection of Villa. Seems like he genuinely was pulled to Wigan on a mission and empathy and might not have gone to any other PL club that offered him at the time. Anyhow...

Thanks Mahon _ I'm in for prediction - will help as and if needed/able.

Mikon? Is that related to the Mekong whisky - yellow label - I got a taste for in Thailand? If so good choice. Brought some home - doesn't taste the same here though.........However our local brew - Fullers London Pride or ESB is the one I want to be buried with and will hope they are serving at...

Hammersmithjack saying hello to all. The feeling of disbelief following Whit Monday still hasn't worn off and August cannot come fast enough. Occasional 606'er too but this does this seem to be fresher and already more of a community. As a London based Jack I have never been able to justify a...

Yes he deserves our gratitude despite the slightly disappointing way he is going - he clearly decided last season this would be his last year in the Championship and he would be going up with or without us on a better package. Not having been a footballer I can't comment on the rights or wrongs...

Greta news. We would regret not giving him Bodde a chance and seeing him star elsewhere after all he's been through with us. And he owes us, I know there's no sentimentality in football, but he knows that and will give his best if fit. And his best is very good. Personally I think a 2 year...

18. Wigan 19. Blackburn 20. Norwich Wigan have been scraping for too long, Blackburn would have gone down if the season had been 5 matches longer and although I admire Paul Lambert Norwich have nothing different to offer the Premiership and will struggle home and away. QPR and Swansea will...
