Best Of

One of my old workmates mentioned that he had heard that Bloomfield was after Arthur Read from Col U. Not sure if that is right or just a rumour.

Mrs Wing isn’t going to like Kingston on Hull (not exactly Kingston upon Thames). But Beverley is nice in a parochial East Riding kinda a way.

There is currently no restrictions on what clubs at our level can spend on their academy.

Could be more of an incentive to get promoted this year (or less of a disincentive I suppose) if the League One rules are moving closer to those in place in the Championship

Oh come on @eric_plant , there were many of us who thought the end was nigh for Matt. Back then he couldn’t buy a win.

We all love the guy and we were sad to see him having such a bad time but those weee dark days indeed. We were all anxious and very worried. No one!!!! could have envisaged such a turnaround.

Were you being "realistic" less than a year ago when you were coming on here week after week slagging Matt Bloomfield off and demanding he be sacked?

I thought Luke played well last night

It's like you've no experience of what he's like as a manager. "In Gaz we trust" was never just a trite, meaningless saying.

The man is capable of achieving the seemingly impossible. Keeping a side up with over half a season to go and a transfer window to come is a stroll in the park for the great man

It saddens me how quickly some have lost faith

His most recent stint was a disaster at QPR. And I don't need faith - I am not a Shrewsbury fan.

Again, what I think will happen and what I want to happen are too different things. Reality is more important to me than burnishing the bust of a legend. Perfectly happy for you to say "I told you so" if he makes up the gap, because that would an epic achievement indeed, and I would prefer that eventuality!

It's not that, it's the implied accusations of underestimating/disrespect that come with daring to be realistic. Not that I expect anything less on here.
