Why is it ridiculous? "The Championship" has indeed only existed since 2004, but that's the competition he currently plays in. If you think a comparison with George Camsell of Middlesbrough in 1927 or Guy Whittingham in 1993 is more relevant be my guest.

I like a man who’s good to his word 😉

Cracking start to the weekend 😁

A nice 15 minute cameo, if you’d be so good as to arrange it please...

Reading this thread does make me smile. With mere mortal footballers it’s goals, assists or tackles won, with Emiliano it’s the quality or importance of goals, the assists for assists and the unseen work (that only analysts can appreciate) that counts. And before anyone calls me a hater... I’m...

Purely on stats, no... they created the grand total of 0.11 xG against us. A new low for the season 😱

Yes, the grand total of 3 in 70 odd. Maybe he’s a late developer and will bang in half a dozen in our last 12 games to see us up to the PL 😉

I've no idea when the Aussies are next playing a test series in India, but I hope they can persuade good ol' Shay-ain out of retirement. Imagine his figures on today's pitch 😂

I made the mistake of starting last night on the Sky red button. The commentator was doing my head in generally, but specifically because he kept going on about how bad our defensive record is. I know it's been poor for the last few games, but =8th overall over the season? Not to mention GF and...

Extraordinary player. Just rolls through game after game with remarkable consistency. Keeps possession and delivers a pass no matter how tightly he’s pressed. Gets fouled and just gets up. Can pick a killer ball and score. All at 22, in his first year in a foreign league. Crazy when Ivan’s...
