    In a way that story isn't extreme enough to be an April Fool. Parker is near the end of his career, while Bent is on the decline as well, bearing in mind it's 10 years since we originally signed him!

    Would love to see Darren back, not sure whether Scott can still cut the mustard, at the end of the day with the third smallest championship budget would doubt if we could afford the wages.

    Melrose was a season and a half, and without his 17 goals in 86/87 we would have sunk without a trace. Interesting that he never got a sniff of playing for the Scottish national team, yet a Scottish striker with those stats today would be the first name on the teamsheet.

    This was in the top tier as well. Swop him for Horsefield who never excited me.

    Cracking volley.

    Apart from that, this really is a shite referee. Soft penalty for Derby (linesman was closer & was never giving it) & then turning down one for Wolves at the other end. I thought it would have been soft too, but a damn sight more contact from Ince than what took him down for his one.

    Good to see Wolves get a good one back there. 2-3 game on for last 10

    Sounds like a good game...not convinced that getting Lambert in is such a good move for Wolves.

    Well, he's not reduced to sleeping on park benches yet, but it sounds like Benty's got a real addiction problem.

    He must have spent millions on unworn footware. I suppose it could be an investment for when he retires - he could open the Bent Trainer Museum.

    Followed him on Twitter, for ages it's all he would post about.

    Wish I had the money to spunk up the wall on trainers, have 41 pairs, but that's small fry

    I've got 30 odd pairs of adidas trainers and my Mrs gets the hump whenever she sees me looking at getting new ones.

    Darren's Mrs must be very understanding/easily silenced

    Depends on the trainers you're buying but they can be massive investments. Don't walk in to JD and buy every shoe you see but if you look in to it and find the release for limited shoes they resell for hundreds and sometimes thousands more than what retail was. As time goes on they obviously get more and more valuable depending on how limited they are etc.

    Roland ought to to have a read of this thread.

    It's led me to have a count up of my footwear last night.

    16 pairs of trainers
    4 pairs of timberlands
    4 pairs of shoes

    And to think that CLB74 does not possess a pair of trousers.

    Perhaps some of you guys can put off buying a pair next time you see something you fancy, then donate the money to him.

    To wear mate. I'm not protective with them at all. All Adidas - mostly suede (strangely enough) :smile:
