Tav isn't useless, far from it, but I don't think he's the automatic best option for us anymore. The numbers back up parts of his game, and to be fair he helps out defensively and keeps possession mov...
Point blank: defenders often look shaky in their early 20s and then settle into something proper by their mid to late twenties. I hear the sceptics, but there are too many examples to ignore, and I re...
Short version: after a handful of clips Dahl looks the kind of old-school number eight you rarely see now. Quick feet, tidy passing in tight spaces and a willingness to press high — that blend of trai...

Nice bit of nostalgia there — I know the sort of thing you mean. Songs like that were everywhere on bootleg tapes and in the stands back in the day, and it's frustrating when one you loved disappears....
Quick and blunt: this isn't just about one night out. Wearing the blue shirt makes you a representative of the club and, whether you like it or not, a role model for younger fans. If what has been sug...
Solid, sensible signings are what we need if the club gets that Champions League windfall. This shortlist keeps things realistic: players who are young enough to develop, experienced enough to step in...
