Was watching a few important games from the recent past yesterday, and it is surprising how many he was on the pitch for and contributing. Still, I tend to agree with the consensus - if you have been called out for being a twat all your career (leading to several moves) and you still haven't...

The players chose him, so they see something in him. FWIW I'd personally have gone for Ruben, in Gundo's absence.

It's a homoerotic, but slightly less brutal, Eastenders. I never miss it.

Was at the Ipswich one in 96. Won 1-0 but we were very lucky. Doubts about an immediate return to the top flight started to forment that day...though even in my worst nightmares I couldn't have begun to imagine what did happen over the next few years!

Yeah, the worst nickname on here IMO because of the misguided spite behind it. Then Power went to Everton at 33 and won the title in his first season.

Think this is the game my dad always describes as the scariest he ever went to. He said at one point a gang of bikers stormed the away end with bike chains and beat the living shite out of some blues. My dad hid in a toilet cubicle.

I've got one. Sadly it was bought at the time...when I was 28 and just shy of 11 stone. 'Sprayed on' doesn't even adequately describe how it currently fits.

The three white LeCoq ones were good (all white 99/00, red and black sash 02/03, small blue sash 07/08). Rest were pretty pony.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure he did get some boos/jeers. A few others have had fair pelters too IIRC; Boateng, Kolarov, Bravo.

Yeah, no reason to feel any affection for a club if some (a minority, but sizeable one) are booing you. He had some poor moments, but he didn't do make mistakes on purpose and gad promise. He clearly is a bit of a twat on the pitch, but I'm not surprised he didn't shed any tears on pre-match...

Division 2 was the Third Division in 98/99 Prem - 1st Division 1 - 2nd Division 2 - 3rd League One, as it is called now, is still the Third Division.

It was the Third Division. Might have had a daft new name, but that's what it was (and still is).

Yeah. Story is just 'as you were'

I agree. And I'm usually accused of being a happy clapper so it's fun being the moaning heel for once!

Have it earlier. Or only have had the parade if we'd have won the cup. 53k saw us parade the PL already. I'll probably go. But not with the kids this year.

Ha! I take your point, but parades are full if parents with kids and I think a lot will be looking at not being home til post 10, plus them being drenched in the rain, and will sack it off.

He obviously wanted to give Stones a game to make him feel better about being left out over past 2 months (he hinted at doing same for Julian too). Kova has played well recently but we gave them too much respect. Should have played Doku and torn in to them like v West Ham.

It was a nailed on foul. It gets given anywhere else on the pitch, but VAR looks at the 'dropping zone' for pen appeals from crosses and obviously decided Haaland wouldn't have got to it.

I've been to every parade since 2011. In two minds today though. Putting aside the fact that I don't think the players or fans will really be in the mood after losing to that lot yesterday. Also, the last game of the season where we win a trophy was at home so we've already celebrated that with...
