Already posted on the History thread but of course, the great man deserves a thread of his own. Any and all favourite memories in here. Who on here saw his very early 86/87 games? I didn't, I was too young. What was the impression you got of him first up? When I started going in 1988 it was...

Tangent from the Vitor thread and I mentioned how crazy it was that we kept O'Neil after Everton away given how awful we were. So what would be your top 10 in each bracket? My first draft: Best 1) Wolves 3-1 Arsenal (2019, Nuno) 2) Wolves 3-2 Man City (2019, Nuno) 3) Tottenham 2-3 Wolves...

The following teams we had who went down, with 33 and 25 points respectively: Regular teams listed once we got to around this stage, all windows closed and the (mostly) first choice team basically settled: 2003/04: -----------------Jones-------------------...

Any way of getting rid of that box which has appeared on the right hand side of the page on desktop? 1) The "latest posts" box (which has now been shunted down the page) makes it redundant 2) It doesn't work anyway as it reckons the Coronavirus thread is trending, and it's definitely not 2021...

Six things for me: 1) Get in a new centre half next month. Ideally two. Doesn't matter if they're Mendes clients or not, we currently have Toti (not a terrible squad player, but that's all he should be), Bueno (weak, diffident and slow) and Dawson (looks like a season too far for him). That's...

Stick with what worked at Fulham? It looked a cobbled together team on paper but it was the best balanced we've looked all season. Everyone played well in the second half too, even Bellegarde who was rubbish in the first half. I'm going to this one as my first game of the season (it doesn't...

On to another of our "easy" games...oh wait, they're 7th, above three teams we've already lost to this season. We also lost here last season, without doubt in slightly controversial circumstances but frankly, we weren't very good. We have to hope that Dawson and Bueno manage to overcome the...

You know what's "must win", Gary? This one. He CANNOT stay if we even just draw, it's not possible. Please don't play three centre halves because it isn't solving anything, it just means we don't play a good player somewhere else. We're more than capable of winning. They're not very good. I...

Wouldn't bet a penny on her actually fighting a GE campaign.

Not a must win says our esteemed manager. I rather think it is. Anyway, perhaps this time he won't pick a formation he knows is wrong. I actually don't care who you put in goal, they're all shit. --------------------------Johnstone--------------------...

You'd think we'll stick with the three CHs, for all that it's an imperfect solution. You'd hope we'd stick with Sa, because it's the right thing to do. However, as I said yesterday - the City game can't really be a template for anything. They're a special case, we can't have many (if any) other...

Oh boy. This one could hurt. I've quite enjoyed the international week for a change as it's meant I haven't had to watch us defend like an U8s team. I've gone on record as saying that I don't think moving to three CHs will change anything, but it seems an inevitability (and we'll lose here, but...

Simple premise: 5 things you'd do to get us actually earning some points because if we don't soon, it'll be too late. For me: 1) Play a standard midfield three. No players charging about everywhere or weird #10 roles that make no sense. André, and two of Joao Gomes, Mario Lemina and Tommy...

Let's go round again... I can confidently predict three things ahead of Saturday. 1) We WILL concede at least once 2) At least one tactical/selection decision that Gary O'Neil makes will baffle me 3) Brentford will absolutely boil my piss with their incessant shithousing and taking an age over...

Nice easy one to be going on with while we're bottom of the league... We're going to have to work on the basis that Yerson is injured. And really hope Toti is fit because can you imagine how slow a Dawson/Santi partnership would be. And hope a lot of things go in our favour. And hope our...

Lots of parallels to the City game last season. Off the back of a poor league start and a League Cup exit shipping three goals, with further tough fixtures on the horizon and us in desperate need of points... We performed that alchemy last season but I'm less sure we can repeat the trick. We...

This was always a horrible draw. Anyone's guess how strong we'll go or who's fit. -------------------------Sa----------------------------- Lima-----------Mosquera-------Bueno---------Meupiyou --------------Rawlings----Doyle----Cundle----------------- --------------Forbs------Guedes------R...

Hoping that everyone comes back from the internationals unscathed. With tough fixtures to come away at Villa and home to City, again this represents one of our better chances of getting some early points on the board. Newcastle doesn't seem to have been a very happy camp of late, with them...

Lee Carsley's first squad announced at 2pm. Can't see too many surprises being rolled out. Trippier has retired from England duty.

Are we in "must not lose" territory already? Because September looks pretty grim... Forest are no great shakes at all having failed to beat us in either encounter at the City Ground since they came up and also contriving to lose to a team managed by Steve Davis - we haven't actually lost at...
