Hibbert not being considered for action this week

Seriously though, hope ozzy, Gibbo, Hibbo, Howard and peanuts all get a chance to come and say goodbye as players, and 2-3 stay on to help coach that promising young we have.

The youngster Connolly may get his start unless Oviedo is switched but Oviedo looks slow as did Gibson last Saturday. RS have lots of pace and Everton's bad giveaway habits may cost them dearly.

What do you mean, most of them will get new deals if Roberto 'Mr nice Guy' is still incharge.

And now we're doing charitable signings that cost even more and are just as pointless... see Niasse.

Baffling....

How can anyone consider playing Hibbert now, in April 2016 at the age 35.

I love Hibo, but the club are run by fools, giving out big contracts to players like Hibo make our squad and finances weeker.

If Hibo has been on around £40,000 for the period of 2012 until now he's cost the club around £10m in wages, that is ludicrous.

Add Gibson, Osman, Pienaar, Kone, etc to the running cost of the club, shows us to be under poor leadership.

A lot has to change.

Martin 4 - good point, but just like I don't know they are, you don't know they're not potentially good coaches! Personally though, I like to see long standing players integrated into the club family whenever we can. Particularly those with right pro attitudes and even better if local connection. its part of who we are and should be.

Hibbert is a blue and a nice guy, but should be nowhere near the squad nor on the payroll.

This 'family' and 'people's club nonsense had to go if the club is to challenge at any level.

I'm sure Hibbert will be happy on his private fishery estate in France that he has managed to purchase on the huge wages he has earned by being very average and limited throughout his career!

I never really understood why Osman was given a contract when we were in the process of looking for a new manager!

Sack the jokers who are the defensive coaches now, if we actually have any and give the moaning bastard the job.

He knows what it is to play with heart... albeit not for a few years mind!!

I'm sure we could all name 100 players we could slate before even starting to badmouth a loyal one-club man. All the best Hibbert, hope he's on the mend and gets on the pitch before the end of the season.

The registrar says "Look, the guy that's doing the op is getting on a bit now. He wasn't the best surgeon we've ever had and bye the way he's only done a couple of ops in the last few years. But don't worry you'll be okay. He's a local lad so everything will be fine. We are one big happy family here."

No thanks!!! We want the best scouts, the best coaches, the best players and the best manager.

'Hibby'?

H...H...(clutches throat)...HIBBY!?

To quote Don Logan from Sexy Beast..

'NO! No no no no no no no no no no no!'

There's no 'Hibby' - it's HibbO!

Sorry but let's nip this in the bud right now and keep to the accepted familiar forms.

It's 'Jags' not 'Jaggo' or 'Jaggy'

Graham Stuart isn't 'Topaz'

And anyone who would refer to Alan Ball as 'Ballo' deserves harpooning.

He was stitched up at Wembley in 09 and Moyes took him off to prevent us going down to 10 men. After that Coleman took on the berth within a season or so.

While Coleman is the better player, Hibinho in the last decade was perfect for the era: a tough tackling and tenacious player. He always ran and ran. I wish we still had his spirit.

Will we beat a Norwich side on the last day if they need it to stay up and we are on the beach? We already haven't won in 8 Premier League games.
