In dignified silence, he has grafted for this club. Bought low, sold high, did some unbelievable business (noting the contribution of BMcD as Chief Scout) and contributed a lot during our most successful seasons. Coveted by other clubs at stages including obviously West Brom and Arsenal, and didn't ...

I've always been under the impression that's he's a bitofacunt. Nothing really to base that on mind. I know a couple of people that have worked with him, and they echo that opinion of him. He disliked Brendan Rodgers because he felt he wasn't being kept in the loop as much as he fwlt he should be, ...

Asked Jenson Button that on a Q&A on twitter. He said they're both rubbish and he prefers Al Pacino films. Poor show. Because Pacino's never done a duffer. I offer you Jack and Jill and Gigli sir... Yes, Dick Tracy....anyway, back to Beric maybe? Are the Thai owners going to bankroll the purcha...

How would you evaluate Hammond's performance since that new deal when Zingarevich came in? It's the most disappointing period of his DoF career IMO. It certaainly doesn't justify the wages to keep him here. Fair enough. Disappointing how though? In that with very little in terms of finance, a misfi...

Hammond is another big wage that we should let go, and he's hardly earned it this last few years. He should take some of the blame for these overinflated contracts he's handed out to bang everage players! Clueless. Hope he goes to somewhere he is appreciated, that gives him some autonomy and suffic...

I really don't understand why people are getting their knickers in a twist. Team with nothing to play for in the league does badly in the league shocker..... It really is as simple as that. If they get closer to the red line I'm sure they'll get a couple of league wins. Plus the nearer we get to th...

My worry is that they've shown what a gutless bunch of money grabbing ego centric no marks they all are after Wembley. We saw the proof that if they are "motivated" they have the ability to achieve great things as a team (HRK excepted - he appears to be in a league of his own as far as la...

You can get high quality items at very good prices shopping at Lidl and Aldi. However when you only frequent the 99p store you really are asking to be bitterly disappointed. It's starting to look like Hammond is a big fan of: http://www.approvedfood.co.uk/ Insightful analogy. Perhaps he only has 99...

Avon Royal Also worth taking a moment to praise the ref - overall one of the most sensible performances I've seen in a long time.

Absolutely agreed, credit where it's due.

bobby1413 Mad stad to all out, good atmosphere and a win to follow

I think this is just what we need. QF replay, full house, galvanise us before Wembley.

Royal Ginger Got to be broken. That's a lot of blood.

He's like our Terry Butcher!

They can be proud of this performance, not an easy tie. Not nice to watch, but they have not ducked a challenge.

Norwood's first decent cross, 86th minute.

Why shove Pog out on the left? Why not two up top?

blueroyals Norwood off Akpan on
Pog off yak on

Please

This. Norwood has been hopeless, and Pog seems out of ideas/running.

Come on Macca, get down those channels.

Loving this at the moment, great opening 30 mins on a tricky pitch. Solid.

This is it-the players who have collectively p""""d their way through this season-now is the moment Playing a crap lower division team (not tearing up their league)-one game away from Wembley and on telly-time for the big time charlies like Pav/ Kanu/GMac/Mackie/Norwood/Gunts/Wi...

I'm puzzled why people are criticising Squeaky and blaming him for our bad signings. I may be wrong but doesn't the manager choose the players we go for? I thought Hammond's job is to then do the negotiating on the club's behalf. Is this not the case? If it's not then I can finally understand why t...
