CB Fry

Yet another tour de force. Saint Nacho will be performing a session at BBC Maida Vale for Steve Lamacq a week next Tuesday. Do not approach him. Please stop sending him underwear.

100% agree. Frankly bizarre we left our captain at home for our first away fixture in Europe proper for a decade. We should have prioritised this over Leicester all day long.

It's a generalisation based on basic facts. Rich and educated voted in, poor and uneducated didn't. Statistically proven. The poor saps in Sunderland or Doncaster or Spalding won't be any better off, while the rich and privileged will be just fine. Based on lots of the reports at the time, the people in those places could barely articulate why the voted out either. I still like your reason the best - you voted out to stick it to the powerful vested interests and to stick it to the likes of Goldman Sachs. Guess what - they will be absolutely, 100%, copper bottomed fine. They'll win Brexit regardless of the referendum vote.

http://www.ippr.org/juncture/a-win-for-proper-people-brexit-as-a-rejection-of-the-networked-world This is a nice read. In summary, educated, connected and wealthy Remainers will win in the new world, and the uneducated dinlows who voted leave won't. It's a far more erudite article than that of course.

If they had that on film, we'd have seen it by now. Just like they had with the Barnsley assistant. Where they had money changing hands in the middle of a hotel. And, hate to explain this, but it's a newspaper sting, it's not real. There isn't a "later time". The Eric Black story is over as far as the Telegraph are concerned as they have now moved on to the thin gruel of nothingness they managed to cobble together after a £500 meal with Harry Redknapp.

That's all you can get out of Harry bloody Redknapp? Their undercover dept is nothing short of a joke.

"Harry Redknapp: officially not corrupt" would be one hell of a story, to be fair.

McClaren and Hoddle (both previously recruited by H Redknapp) will be all over it saying how it was all some innocent mistake and aren't the newspapers terrible.

REDKNAPP INCOMING.

CB Fry will be taking visitors at the Melia Milano. Which looks like it is handily next to the metro stop for the ground.

Reading it through it looks like he's a patsy stitched up by the Telegraph - the paper seem to have used mates of high profile managers to get to them rather than just go direct. It makes sense as an effective sting technique but there's more than a whiff of entrapment going on. Still, he's been busted and he'll be gone by teatime.

Steve Bruce ain't going to be the England manager any time soon, is he?

Come on in Thierry. Your old boss needs you.

Yeah - Looked like mission accomplished to me.

They've landed the big fish they wanted. Barnsley assistant manager suspended for taking a bung.

Shame they haven't got enough to start naming names. Anyway, I thought I'd ask the forum to name their favourite managers. Here's my favourite managers that I have decided to list here. I wonder if anyone else would also like to list their favourite managers? Pardew McClaren Pearson Pulis Phil Brown Hughes Mccarthy Warnock Garry Monk Tim Sherwood Brendan Rodgers Gus Poyet

Lallana signed a five year contract in 2013 so I'm saying we won't sell him until 2017 but only if someone is desperate.

Who's up for a bit of a who's next sweepstake. More revelations by about 10:30 tonight. I'm going Pardew. And Nigel Pearson, who's clocked that he's been stung and confessed during today rather than waiting for the inevitable.

Jesus Christ.

Minutes silence for little Sammy Lee.

Sky/BBC news not gone with it yet.

100% perfect record. Going out at the top.

Looks like he's gone. Didn't even set foot on the Wembley pitch as England boss. What a plank. Gareth Southgate in. Gawd help us.

You're thinking of Graham Fellowes, playing John Shuttleworth. Different person.

This and this. What we've done is put us in a great position to get "Pogba" money, but if someone comes forward with £60m then a) we'd take it and b) any club offering that for a CB is a club VVD would want to join. The five years thing is a red herring. The one thing it absolutely doesn't mean is he's staying for five years.
