Gloucester Saint

More Keith Cassells. Clumsy lump with no first touch. Lawrie didn’t make loads of transfer mistakes but that was one. Still at least Mark Wright came our way from Oxford eventually.

I do because with RS sick it means the American ‘won a lottery to play’ stays on. The scout at the Koln games must have over-done the pre-match Kolsch big time. Mind you, it is a lovely drop.

Or use them.

When we refuse to pay the market rate for the division we are in, very hard. I thought for £7m he’d be quite raw but we are talking Flynn Downes-cooked chicken livers.

Early days but hard to imagine how Downs got Bundesliga 2 double figures for a big club. I thought he’d be like an early Kenwyne Jones but he’s far worse so far. Not just missing two sitters but he’s like concrete, ball bounces off him.

Did alright there, Downs was Sunday league though 😂

That was better. Perkins taking a risk grabbing Sugawara’s shirt back post there.

Stupid foul Sugawara. The shit players in the squad really are showing themselves. I reckon we will improve and win second half in slightly cooler conditions but poor first half again.

Add BBD to the final bullet and I agree. McCarthy hasn’t looked too secure handling it either.

We were there as well. Murty did indeed play as did Paul Wotton. 3-2 to us fighting off a late comeback. Freezing cold wind on the way back to our car.

That would be like Saints bidding £5m for Jack Rudoni. Smacks of ‘oh well, we tried’ from the Hammers.

Saudi good for all if there are interested parties but there’s the rub. Only Beskitas could get close in that list to matching let alone exceeding what he is on here even with the relegation clause, hence his agent dreaming about Saudi. If there’s interest there for Joe, great. Was a link to Leipzig but can’t see that. Clearly not in Still’s plans. He’s an ok player but nothing more. Doesn’t want to be at the club. Move on please.

On Aribo, needs to give his agent a shove around getting Villarreal to stump some cash (won’t be that much as less than 12 months left). Beskitas will be stalling to get him on a free next summer. Edozie - Strasbourg is the move and have had bid accepted. Bruges aren’t in the picture until they have. Could play a role if turns down Strasbourg but like Aribo him and his agent need to hurry up if he’s going. They make conveyancing solicitors look rapid! He’s lost a season last year to niggling injuries, in his shoes I’d sign for Strasbourg and hit the ground running. Smallbone - club will want to sell rather than loan with less than 12 months left. I agree that not a Will Still central midfield player. Can’t see the fee being higher than £4m, but for a mid-lower Champ club who play either 4-5-1 or three in the middle, he’d be a good signing. JWP as part ex for MF is a non-starter unless WH will pay at least £75k p/w of his wages plus Potter likes JWP.

His replacement in the Chilean side was linked with Goztepe early summer. I still maintain that he can’t be anywhere near as bad as we’ve seen,

Three keepers wouldn’t have saved the free kick, Manning put that in the side-netting of the goal, no saving those. JWP would have been happy with that.

And he is lumbering. Says everything that on a bench full of forwards, BBD is the one who doesn’t get brought on. He wasn’t bad at Blackburn and Forest, not first loan at Blades. Russball really did finish him off. Hopefully Still can get a tune out him somehow.

At Ibrox, must win for him to get some breathing space. That’s the day to be pragmatic - the win is the only thing that matters in a city where depending on which hospital fighting and drunken supporters are admitted to, they have been known to attack nursing staff in blue/green aprons (contingent on whichever side the drunken fan with a split head is from).

Comes from lived experience at the top level, not from Britannia Unchained nor John Moynihan’s latest ‘opinion-led’ waste of paper.

Some pints of Exmoor Beast would put some hairs on his chest as well as his head (too many he’d be in A&E with that stuff). Dockside Dark must have some iron in as well?

He still looks like I wouldn’t serve him a pint for being underage though.

Mind you, surprised Brown didn’t pour the tea over Blair…

Don’t, because my wife has met him through work and was very impressed with how he interacted with everyone and on health and social care seriously knows his stuff. Also, gets a big tick and pint of something strong in the real ale department from me for cleaning up the enormous economic projectile vomit by Liz Truss and the wretched Institute of Economic Affairs.

Some lovely comments about the homeless - not.

This is counter-productive, trying to appeal to Reform people. It’s not key workers, it’s actual asylum cases people want reduced in volume https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c2en38jll94o
