None other than Luka Modric. Yes, you read that right. I can't say I saw that coming.

Madsen on Bristol City draw
at 01:54 14 Apr 2025

I don't recall seeing this posted yet. I realise he's come in for a fair bit if criticism for lack of work rate (rightly so) but credit where it's due, his performances in the last 2 games have been better and it's nice to hear him speak.

No, thankfully I'm not afflicted with arthritis and swelling in both legs. This is the unusual and rather amusing name of an up-and-coming 17-year-old sprinter who is seriously quick.

Remember the name (as if one could forget)!

JCS
at 01:53 7 Mar 2024

Just a cautionary note but I noticed that JCS didn't look too happy when he was substituted. I hope that this was simply frustration at being subbed rather than anything more sinister. He's been excellent in recent weeks, building a solid partnership with Cook. Moreover, this has allowed Marti to experiment with Dunne at right back, which has been a welcome success. Here's hoping that I'm reading something into nothing and JCS hasn't picked up an injury as we'll need him for the run-in.

Sir Les - DOF criticism was because of colour

I'm not sure what to make this. On the one hand he states that criticism of his performance as DoF was driven by colour, yet on the other he appears to concede that he was a bad DoF.

Kudos to Dickie
at 17:59 22 Apr 2023

He's had a miserable season but today he was excellent. Two goal line clearances and put his body in the way of everything. That first half performance set the platform for the second half win. Well done that man.

BOS as a false 9
at 01:43 26 Feb 2020

Showed another string to his bow by playing the fulcrum role well when Hugill was substituted. Showed great strength holding the ball up, terrorised Derby's defence with his pace and dovetailed beautifully with Eze and Chair. Such a shame no one read the cross along the 6-yard box for a simple tap-in.
