When did calling Sheff Weds 'Wendies' become a thing, makes my teeth itch.

Like calling Ipswich 'Ipshit' or Crystal Palace 'Crippled Alice'.

Always liked the stripy Nigel’s for palace for some reason. Top insult.

Notlob is pretty shit. Dont even know what its meant to insinuate.

Yep I’ll instantly dismiss anyone as a fucktard when they call us notlob or noblot.

Noblot wool yonners

Used to get called yonner a fair bit when I lived in manc. Oddly mainly by a rag from Atherton who was a complete muppet. Just used to look at him like he was a simpleton as his insult made no sense.

Not brilliant odds but just had £20 at 13/2 on winning the league with the same amount at 2/1 on promotion - on us that is

Money in the bank Dave, money in the bank. 😉

I win a grand if we get promoted; and I haven’t put a bet on.

You have put a bet on.

You’re betting that we can afford to pay your cash back in full. 

In 5 years time your 10 G’s could have vanished so the grand is irrelevant.

Fair play for taking the risk though.

Wool? For a Lancashire cotton town?

My favourite is Spuds - really upsets Tottenham fans.

Genuinely surprised about the 'Notlob' thing with the Dead Parrot sketch being so famous, thought everyone would know. I suppose the reference is quite a way into the sketch and many of you aren't as big a nerd as I am.

Andersen to Luton confirmed. Undisclosed fee but the Tykes will have a good bit of cash.

They will certainly but most of that will be used to finance the club. Tykes fans are already aware that transfer fees won’t be paid and the club will be trying to continue the same moneyball approach to bringing in free and young players to develop and sell on. They still don’t have a confirmed new manager yet so clearly they are a bit behind already. Expect one or two more to leave yet.

Walcott to reading according to some press

A Reading fan at work was telling me this. Smacks of failure written all over it.

[Wanderlust]

Shocked Aaron Mooy has retired. He's 32 but last season he was playing like a good 'un.

Absolutely the kind of midfielder we need but I'd be dreaming if I thought he'd come back to Bolton to deal settle that unfinished business.

pretty much sums Reading up, remember looking at their squad last season and thinking they could be dark horses if all these once decent players could still perform

Tom Ince
Shane Long
Sam Hutchison
Naby Sarr
Andy Carroll
Jeff Hendrick
Scott Dann
Junior Hoilett

but they didn't, they got relegated

Walcott is probably going to make no difference either
