I see he scored again last night! Feels like more and more of a bargain every match! let’s hope he can go 3 for 3 ❤️

Middlesbrough away boxing day 12:30pm kickoff

NIPPPONNNN BANZAIIIIIIII

Sugawara on. Come on you Saint (although maybe soon to be no more as the official account hasn't mentioned him at all)!

Still just as important for him to be Swift

Japan really struggling to break down that Dutchie defense.

History made tonight! Canada achieve their first ever point in a World Cup. Larin the man who achieved that.

CYLEEEEEEEEEEE!!

All the best to him.

I dont think being police should be a protected characteristic and this statement rings alarm bells in my head, like it’s unjustified to hate the police when they drop shocker after shocker and are symptomatic of a general institutional failing in this country that said I dont like the violence

I think everyone's worked that out by now...

Is this the most dramatic third choice keeper reveal video ever made?

In my ideal world... we would sell Ramsdale, Jander, BBD, Bazunu, Sugawara and Larios. Everyone else we should aim to retain (and extend as appropriate). I'm not sure these 6 would raise the £60m we are said to need... but maybe we'll make a pretty penny off of a potential Fernandes sale to help out, and if Dragan's really that serious he could inject another £10m to keep everyone together... a lot of what ifs. Could Edozie be worth selling too? I like the guy but he's inconsistent, although people are saying he'll need a run of games to show everyone what he's made of, can we afford to give him a unconditional run of games with the criticality of the season ahead? I don't want to say goodbye to Leo yet. THB and Charles will be Premier League ready and although we could make good money off of them, losing them would weaken us considerably (in Charles' case, losing him and Jander would be difficult). I think we could convince all of these to stay, I imagine they all loved it this season, though due to his contract ending in 2027 the ball isn't super in our court with Charles. I think THB should get the captain's armband if we keep him this summer, he's got a real energy about him that we'll need for our aggressive promotion push this year. We've got a lot of players from a bygone generation out of contract. Smallbone, Aribo, Taylor, McCarthy. Stewart is also one of this cohort, and my feeling is that he's just playing hardball with negotiations - makes no sense to be going to a World Cup as a free agent with his injury history. But if we lose him I'm not going to be too worried, I have faith in Spors to find a decent backup to Larin, our recruitment has come a long way since the days of signing Downs and Quarshie.

Foxestalk making for good reading....

At the very least, if Spors is to go, it's good that we are making progress on deals now instead of sleepwalking until everyone's back from their summer holidays.

Never go back to an ex.

Great news. He was awesome for us this season.

Bearing in mind the sides coming down will likely have a slower start due to inevitable churn in the summer, we should be able to hit the ground running if we can keep continuity from this season.

Insane signing. Was absolutely critical for our surge up the table this season. I can’t really believe he’s signed to be honest. We could be in for a wild, wild season

Loan Scienza with an obligation to buy if we do not get promoted.

I expect we will try to sell Bazunu. He has 1 year left on his deal and has been loaned out due to being not good enough twice now, so I imagine he's keen for a fresh start.

Tonda’s next move will be swapping Downs’ brain with a dog’s so that he actually chases the ball.
