Welcome back, Slaven

Welcome back, Slaven. If you turn out to be as good a manager for us as you were a player. No buggering off to Everton! I jest...
Rebuilding

Let the speculation commence! It's that time of year - who should we ship out? Where do we need to strengthen?

I've read and enjoyed the recent spate of articles by Geoff Toates.
What is the 'true' fan?
- Monday, 2nd March 2015
- Raedwulf
The one thing I've found surprising about all the recent column inches and online discussions is that nowhere have I seen any version of one of the common dismissals. "They're not true fans"; "they're not real fans"; "they're not proper
To offend or not to offend, that Is the question

"Man offended on behalf of someone else reports incident he didn't see or hear", wrote Staff. It sets up the expectation that the article is going to be wholly dismissive of the current kerfuffle about some idiotic chanting at White Hart Lane last Sunday.
Where are they now?

Not, as some of you may have been expecting, a retrospective on past players. Sorry. This particular piece is provoked by the question so much asked in the last week or so - "Where are the 'Sam Out' Brigade?"
That Paul Walker, what does he know anyway?

In response to the estimable Mr Walker's latest opinion piece, "thanks heavens" I would never say, sir!
A Samnesty?

Astonishingly, Sam Allardyce is now the third longest serving manager of a Premier League club (admittedly, serving one season in tier two), behind only our own ex Alan Pardew and, of course, Arsene Wenger.
Hokey-Cokey time

With only two games to go, neither Cardiff nor Fulham (with their hideous goal difference) can pass us. The chances of Norwich winning their last two games, which is the only way they could, seem remote.

And now for something rather different! Here's an interesting snippet in the BBC's Gossip Column, Thursday 10th.
Reffing Hell...

I hope Hammerhead doesn't mind me quoting his lengthy and well argued post on Staff's Liverpool match report as the basis of this opinion piece. I've had in the back of my mind for some time the notion of writing something about refereeing.
A little more Mauricio!

I must admit, when I indulged in a little "blue sky thinking" I didn't expect to produce a lightning bolt that would blow up a powder keg! Perhaps I should have finished with a couple of questions to make the intent of my previous article just that little bit clearer.
Just one transferro, give eet to me...

Mauricio Pochettino has to be the man for the job. If I can have just one transfer in the coming close season, whatever it costs, bring in Pochettino. What you do with Allardyce, I'm indifferent to. Kick him upstairs to a Director of Football position if it's cheaper, or just sack him; I'm really not interested.
Even More Hopeful or Hopeless?

The gulf between Premier League and Championship is so wide these days that promoted teams are invariably widely-tipped for an immediate return lower.

I'm sure I'm not the only Hammer whose heart sank when Sam Allardyce was originally appointed manager.
