What was obvious, was not neccessarily his form but the fact that compared to everyone else on the park he was bone idol. Whilst Yakubu never looked the most industrious looking of players, he did make intelligent runs and got into good positions. Beckford however lacked industry, control and...

Les Ferdinand was class for us in the twilight of his career but was a different type of player i.e. could hold the ball up, pass to a colleague and also score the odd vital goal. Collymore was also a special type of player but different. KEANE used to be at his best running onto a ball at speed...

This guy is crap, like Bednar, if you ask any WBA they wil tell you! Just shows how crap Sven is! Wake up!

Stats don't lie. Last season with 45 goals against, we had statistically the 4th best defence in the league under Pearson. In other words we wern't that far away, so whar happened there then? First we had Sousa who thought we could turn our centre backs into Rio Ferdinands or other certain...

A rather debateable point that Sven is the best manager in this league!

I for one hope we DON'T get Mowbray. A mate of mine is a WBA season ticket holder and says that he was really really poor for them. The notion of playing good football stops at just passing it around to each other in midfield with no end product (remember McGee and his 'I want to be like...

Lets spot the deliberate mistake in this, if our manager's going, who is it exactly thats trying to sign this player? If the reason Pearson's leaving is through lack of funds for next season, where's the £1m coming from? Admitedly its all starting to sound a bit ominous about Pearson but lets...

To be honest, I think this has been coming for a while and a bit of a reality check. I do support Pearson but think it applies to him also. Last seasons success was built on trying to keep the same team and playing with width, albeit at a lower level. They got used to each other and how each...

If Souness, Hughes, Ince and Alladyce didn't fancy him it doesn't sound too hopefull and more of a panic signing due to our current injuries. That having been said NP hasn't been wrong yet really has he.

Sounds a bit like the sort of signing we used to make. A once up and coming player who, when you look at his transfer history, appears to be well on the wane! If he was any good, why would Preston be getting rid? At 25yrs he's hardly going to improve.

Didn't they do a song for him, Nesum Dormu?

I agree with this also. Cleverley looks a good up and coming talent but I don't think it works with him , King and Oakley due to them being a bit lightweight and similar at times. I too would bring Berner in to strengthen the midfield but perhaps replace Gilbert with Cleverley. Gilbert for me...

An interesting article. I did note that of the top 4 that Newell's stats were over twice as many games as some of the others which does imply consistancy. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, in his time at Luton he had to build nearly three teams as they kepy having to sell their best players. I...

Ollie staying! Just confirms what some of us already knew, Leicester City are officially being run by Dumb and Dumber!

If it's 'stick by Ollie time' then say goodbye to at least 3 season tickets in my family MM! I don't think we'll be the only one's either unless we should want to reward failure. Only the stupid and blind without any football knowledge would want this clown to continue under the insipid small...
