    IF, and it's still a big IF, we get to the playoff final can you imagine Val being complacent? I can't... no stone will be left unturned in our quest

    No mate. I don't think we were complacent in 2000. I just don't think enough people realised the potential ramifications of defeat apart from George Burley and Ipswich Town.

    I know mate, I know.... I don't think many people knew the ramifications if we didn't win that day in May 2000...... I didn't, I just thought we'd have another crack the season after.....

    Didn't the whole squad shave or bleach their hair before that play off final? At the time it felt like an odd thing to do, almost like the Liverpool spice boys suit a few years before.

    Charging his ill wife taxi fare to take her to hospital ... charming man. If I carried on listing his faults I'd be late for work.

    Not sure what he's up to since my sister passed away. I know he threw his grown up kids out after she died - my elderly parents are bringing them up at the minute. Very abusive man

    Jesus. That's bad, I never really saw that side of him. Just goes to show, that u don't really know anyone or what they are capable of doing

    Danny Wilson has hero status with us, quite rightly, but his expensive mistakes in the market cost us dearly. For every Ashley Ward there’s a Georgi Hristov; Darren Barnard, Ales Krizan etc etc. He was very naive in that respect

    Did you mean to use those names? Darren Barnard. Easily the best left back ever to pull on a Reds Shirt.

    I think he did the best he could with the money he had at his disposal.

    I believe what he was implying that for every decent player such as Ashley Ward and Darren Barnard was a Hristov or Krizan. De Zeeuw or Markstedt
