Which made me check; I didn't realise that Villa had dropped out of the Premier League. I remember them coming to play Barnsley in the old Division 3 on a cold Wednesday night, back in the 70's. They hammered us 4-0 but perhaps more importantly, brought thousands of fans at a time when Barnsley survived on 2-3k for most games. Of course, they eventually won the Division 1 trophy and, if my memory serves me, the European Cup, once or perhaps twice.

remember that Bradford fans are the ones who sued us for spurious injury claims saying they twisted ankles on the terracing, then they sued us claiming racial abuse. SL better of without them, RL better of without them . Cost of everything value of nothing sums the Bulls up perfectly

Didn't quash the TJ rumour though.

I will eat my shorts if TJ leaves Wakefield this year.

Thought you were on a diet?

OK I will probably get shot down, but I seem to recall that standard SL contracts extend beyond the season until January 1, to give some stability to players in the off-season. Or am I drunk again?

I thought it was mid November.

Assuming that MCB wanted first team football more than a wage rise, if there was any truth in Johnstone leaving then surely the chairman and the coach would have made it clear to MCB that he would be virtually guaranteed that subject to form of course, I would have thought or maybe not

Yeah I think you are right, contracts do normally extend to mid November, not into January as I posted. Thanks; conspiracy theory and fake news debunked. It's almost 1am where I live though so the odds are good that I am drunk!

Lol!

0 calories in shorts, means I can add some gravy

Looking @ JinJers post's it well looks like he has an agenda to see WAKEY players the subject of " he"s leaving/moving" which adds to rumours, now it's don't quash TJ, so who's next ? Rumours are getting tiresome !
