    What happened to British reserve? A nod and a handshake should suffice.

  2. They have been slated by the fans, me included, but Gino and Duxbury are genuine aren't they

    Did I hear Deeney say to Xisco, you have got the job now?

    I was looking for the same thing.
    He is a quiet lad, doesn't mix easily and prefers solitude according to his time in France.

    There's a hell of a lot of testosterone flying around there!
    Beer and champagne too.
    NC shouting "You'Orns".
    Priceless.

    Sema seemed very keen to be involved in every part of the celebrations. On a couple of occasions he tried to photo bomb others. He really seemed very excited by it all. Overall the impression I got was a genuine togetherness among the squad. Gray also seemed really happy. Perhaps that little cameo of NC walking down occupation road, saying we got relegated and we have got back to where we belong. A lot of very relieved people. Let’s hope the experience of relegation and joy of promotion focuses minds on the task ahead. I think retaining premier league status is going to be tougher than it was in 15/16.

    Sorry, but I think you'll find the actor Brian Cox is Scottish and from Dundee. The other Brian Cox on telly, the feeble-voiced Prof, is a Mancunian.

    Julie Walters on the other hand is a Brummie and so was Tony Hancock.

    Over the years, Hitler has been portrayed by some very talented actors: Alec Guiness, Derek Jacobi, Robert Carlyle, Bruno Ganz, and the bloke who played Mr. Bronson in Grange Hill.

    When they eventually come to make a true-life biopic of Troy, which acting heavyweight will bring this role to life? I plump for Cuba Gooding Jnr, or even Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, with maybe Will Smith as the young Troy?

    At the end of last season, I think people were generally p155ed off with the players who got us relegated. I think the slate has been wiped clean for those who helped get us promoted. this season.

    Of course, the obvious choice!

    Perhaps with David Harewood as Stefano Okaka and Daniel Kaluuya as 'Iggy' Ighalo.

    Isn't becoming Harry The Hornet the next step after graduating from Hull University?

    It's always tough. As soon as you think you're part of the furniture there, the complaceny sets in, and you do a 'Stoke'. Just like we did. However, Stoke thought Luton Town's Nathan Jones would get them up. We aimed far higher and got a coach from the Georgian Leagues.

    Anyone else watch the extended highlights?

    I just did, don’t remember it being that comfortable.

    There’s a clip from on the pitch where he obviously has stpeed away from the group doing a mass beer/champagne bundle (i think just before xisco gets the bumps?) , he’s dancing on his own. I would guess, with nothing other than seeing this with cricketers at Somerset doing the same as my research, that its a religious thing to do with alcohol. Being in that dressing room would have been impossible to avoid it too. Total educated guess, no idea what religiion if any he has, but the behaviour fits. I found it slightly sad seeing him dancing on his own and wanted someone to go join him!

    I just remember lots of shots coming in towards our goal!

    We actually had other decent chances to score and should have had a second penalty.

    Sarr didn't have his best day with his final ball.

    Bachmann still our MOTM.

    If he was still alive , Arnie from Different Strokes could have played Troy the child growing up in Birmingham .

    It's a reference to a Bournemouth tweet about Lerma.

    Beyond that I'm not sure.

    I find it amusing how involved Lazaar and Success are in the celebrations despite both probably having a net negative impact on our season.

    Fair play to them.

    Would it be because he's a muslim and wouldn't want to be around the alcohol? I know Moeen Ali and Rashid weren't involved in some of England's celebrations that involved alcohol.

    I thought that too - Success clearly just likes getting drunk but Lazaar seemed to be at the forefront of all the celebrations having pretty much dog turd for his handful of appearances

    Done so little they have the energy to celebrate like mad whereas the others were probably tired !

    Interesting. Has Deeney given details of any other changes he's planning, eg signings, formations etc or is he still keeping that under his hat for now ?

    No idea - but I know a forum member you could ask who has the lowdown on all things 'Deeney'.

    Can't stop singing 'Because of you--oo-ooo' in my head now o_O

    Maybe this should be our new terrace anthem.

    Slightly less random than Delilah, surely?

    I've done some research and Local Man is Pleased is a meme from an Avengers film where the Black Panther character is seen smiling with that caption on a news channel.

    Because they were being 'led' by Deeney. As soon as he got his 'special boot' on they came into their own in terms of leadership and performance. Deeney was holding back the team and blocking the input of better leaders than him.

    I’d like to think players with Premier league titles and England caps playing at the top level could be their own men to some extent.

    To younger players maybe Deeney was the go to man they listened to but we have a few other experienced players in the squad.

    To be honest I think Chelmsley Wood is more of a haven for petty criminals rather than serious gangs. That's more Andre's background.

    You think Tom Cleverley a Premier League winning midfielder who played for the greatest man manager to ever live can be led by Deeney?
