So did Archer. I think Fellows was disappointing last season. If you think he wasn’t, fair enough but his finishing was dreadful and he has shown that he can score previously.* Eckhert has shown that he can coach but he is not the Messiah. Buying players in the hope that your coaching team can turn them into something else is not a wise strategy (unless you have bottomless resources) as we have seen to our cost before. We had a good squad that was underperforming. Eckhert got us playing as a team, which Still failed miserably at, but not every player improved under him and his coaching team, which is my point. To point out the obvious, you can’t just assume that because he has got the best out of some, it will work for all. If that is the case and he can turn any player around, let’s save some money and bring back Downs and BBD. *9 goals for WBA

Considering that several EPL clubs are supposed to be interested in him (Everton, Newcastle, Fulham) along with some Serie A clubs I’m not sure why we are discussing the likelihood of him coming here on loan anyway. The idea that Eckert can turn every cow’s ear into a silk purse needs to be put to bed too. Fellows had a disappointing season. Robinson went backwards after a promising start and if DD stays I doubt very much if Ekhert will turn him around.

I think that he is one of those players who fails to live up to the hype. He didn’t do anything when he (apparently) chose Stoke over us, and not at PNE either. Yes, scored some goals for Hull and had a good season at Ipswich but was awful for Chelsea and the fans want him gone. Most of the stuff I had read from Everton fans is that they don’t want him there. £30m to £40m??? He isn’t coming here on loan and will probably end up as a 2nd string striker for a bottom half Prem club so I can’t see any point in speculating about him anyway.

How many times have we been linked with Liam Delap over the years? How many times has he gone somewhere else and failed to make the grade?

Should add that we stayed in 5* hotels back then as the prices were very reasonable, (Peru close to being a third world country back then). We had a nice meal in Cusco in the hotel that John Peel died in a few weeks previously. Don’t worry, I don’t think it was as a result of the food. It’s quite high up there (oxygen cylinders on every floor in the hotels) so that is something else to factor in if altitude is a problem. I was 50 when I went but could struggle with some of the trips now I am in my 70’s. As well as Ollantaytambo, which I think is in the Sacred Valley, the Inca walls at Sacsayhuamān are worth a visit (near Cusco I think).

I went on a bespoke trip in 2004 and had a great time. Can’t remember many travel details other than we went via Amsterdam and Aruba. You can’t go wrong with the main tourist attractions although we included a flight to Iquitos and spent a few days in a lodge in the Amazon rainforest (maybe best avoid the Ayahuasca though!). Take plenty of Imodium. The food is interesting. I had alpaca (not a whole one) which was fine but passed on Guinea pig. We went on a lot of internal flights which were cheap (but that was over 20 years ago). A friend of mine who had contacts out there arranged the trip but I lost contact with her a while back so can’t help there. There are plenty of agencies who could help you put something bespoke together though. Have a great time!

There is a lot wrong with him. Go look up Mary Millington if you need more evidence. You don’t find many decent people making fortunes out of pimping and pornography.

I’m guessing but would assume that having interviewed the women and investigated it more than you or I, they think it worth pursuing. The bloke had a shit reputation as it is. He made his money through the sex trade.

It is like the hot girlfriend who delivers on all front but then lets herself go and you are glad to see the back of her but there is always that nagging doubt that she will turn into a hottie again with someone else down the line.

Some of our own fans were saying the same thing, along with losing our sponsors, but P & O are staying too!

Yep, it’s awesome when he runs 60 yards to tell someone their hair looks really cool! 😉

Is diving to get a penalty acting in good faith? Is pretending to be injured in order to get another player booked or sent off acting in good faith? Of course not but the worst you are likely to get is a yellow card, not a £200m sanction. Both actions are far more likely to effect the result of a game than spying too.

My spy was just as effective as Will Salt it seems. Spygate was mentioned in a few of the speeches. Roy Keane shed a few tears when he saw his daughter in her wedding dress and during his speech. No inside info about any intentions to move or not. I’m expecting to face EFL sanctions for this?

I had an insider at the wedding. I’ll see if I can get any info.
