    "...clubs like Barnsley, MK Dons and Sheffield United"

    Bet they're loving that at Bramall Lane!

    Good read that. ‘At home, I’m below the kids and dogs in the pecking order’ think we can all relate to that, I certainly can:)

    He's pretty much said: the likes of Mladić, and Fred West, when lumping us in with Yoonited and MK Dons.

    One worships at the altar of Morgan's elbow, and the other stole a club and moved it 70km.

    I don't want us to be a club like either of those.

    I already have a lot of respect for Southgate.

    I don't think he's a great tactician, but a great leader & man manager.

    I take the "teams like Barnsley" as an honour in this context, as he knows where our squad started out & that does include Barnsley. I think it's also a great advert for Barnsley FC to young players looking for a contract.

    Cheers Gareth,

    As well as Stones you could argue that Maguire and Trippier also started their journey at Oakwell.

    Maguire is a bit tenuous I think :)

    Not sure where Sheffield utd should get a mention. Stones . Barnsley.
    Maguire. Barnsley. Left during/because of administration. Or he’d have come through our academy.
