Quite funny to be fair.

Get Ross Stewart on FFS.

Yes but you don't get to watch it back. Having the presence of mind within seconds to locate and be profesionally staring down the barrel of the camera like you're bloody Fiona Bruce would mean you would never see yourself on the big screen at all.

I don't care what people say, we can laugh it all away But if I have a dream at all, it's best for once You won't be on that stupid plane And the world may not be shaking yet But you might prove them wrong Even long shots make it Just don't come home too soon I do like that song but also I would quite happily see Scotland get smashed to fuck and straight back home.

Such lovely hair.

But all yellow/red cards and suspensions etc are managed by the FA not the leagues. So the thing you're making out is strange is precisely how the game is run here. The FA clearly have "jurisdiction" over the leagues. If Tonda gets banned by the FA then it is in principle the same as another player getting banned for violent conduct or whatever.

You're on the right track.

Players are very good at getting those kind of messages out there. "I didn't want to leave but the club got an offer they couldn't turn down" There's a long way between "don't want to leave" and "I am definitely signing a new contract at a Champ club when Prem offers are right there". Saying you don't want to leave also preserves loyalty bonuses and potentially other monetary benefits. So dont get excited by "it's not a rumour". That's not quite the same thing as the reality of situations.

Absolutely killer line up to be fair.

They will love it but they don't need it to be the opening day. It's still an interesting fixture in October or whatever. Would be wasted on opening day. Opening day is about relegated Premier clubs going down a peg or two playing L1 promoted clubs/small Championship clubs.

I mean, you don't have to buy a season ticket.

The real winner here is Andy Burnham.

Lovely finish Rashford.

Fucking shut it Pauline Quirke

Lineker would have buried that.

Just knock it about at the back for the next 77 minutes lads.

Well he definitely won't miss twice.

Peak Russball to begin with.

...

"The report" - like anything Rupert Lowe has cobbled together is worth a second glance. Utterly thick cunt.

Adam Blackmore was on BBC East Midlands Today earlier singing Russell's praises for sceptical Leicester fans.

I don’t think anyone at all is saying anything different to that.

This was my main memory of Russell - that Hillsborough opening day performance was really quite something. I drove home from that really quite excited (and, ultimately he delivered a successful season). His main attribute is team building and spirit/mental toughness. If he can get the Leicester squad on side then they should be fine for promotion.

He 100% has never played in the Premier League in any meaningful way.

Triggering it would have then got us into a longer contract negotiation (as it would have done if he had one year left in normal circumstances). All said and done i very much doubt we wanted to give him three or four years. It's not quite so easy as we trigger it and job done all over. It would have driven other things.
