Not in the vale, darling.

I personally would be. The entitlement to watch a game for peanuts makes me laugh, have a go at the club for not buying a new centre forward but can't cough up £25 when they'd pay £18. Bonkers in my mind.

Just buy a ticket and stop this becoming the biggest embarrassment of our fan base for a number of years. It’s £10 more than you would’ve been prepared to pay for. Yes, a bit to much but what can you do for £25 these days.

Around 1000 tickets left in the home end, hopefully get close to a sell out as match day approaches.

One change for me… azaz for dobbin. Would have no issue with Fellows/Edozie for Matsuki but wouldn’t change a lot else. If we could get 30 mins out of Jander ready for Millwall and get 6 points from 6 I’d say that would be a good start to the season. Long, Roerslev, Wellington, Wood, Quarsie, Bragg, ( New CM I hope ) Dobbin, Edozie, Archer/BBD, Muamba can all play v West Ham. Excited to start a new unbeaten run.

So Chelsea getting a 10 million pound fine for "cheating" is ok? I'm uncomfortable with how we've been treated. I genuinely believe that had it not been a trial by media we'd have got much lighter. "He's highlighting the proportionality of the punishment, not arguing against the application of a punishment at all" CORRECT I expected a fine, I expected a suspended punishment. But more to the point i didn't expect us to be vilified in the press as much as we have based on numerous clubs doing the same and it being lauded like the example I gave. The league ruling shouldn't change the opinion on what has been done.

No we tried gaining an advantage, we didn't pay the referee. In poker if someone shows you their cards, you don't get kicked out for looking.

Understand it completely. It's the severity of the punishment I'm referring too. There are rules in France about driving 80MPH in England it's 70. If I drove 80 in England I don't go to jail for 15 years. Punishment has to meet the crime, how can you not understand this?

Mourinho documentary - 16 mins in, laughing about obtaining training footage from Bolton and their plans to beat Chelsea. John Terry laughing about it, happens everywhere. Shambles how we’ve been treated.

Can never tell if this is tongue in cheek or not. But if it’s not I politely disagree with your sentiment. Both loans, both young and both championship ready.

I’ll tune in, even if most of the questions will be dire. Can I listen from south wales?

Similar player from what I’ve seen I’d be happy with either. Think Jebbison ceiling is higher. Bournemouth aren’t getting many parts of their recruitment wrong currently.

I think he’d get goals for other players. Dobbin, Azaz, Scienza etc etc. I think he’d occupy defenders as well as Larin and he’d certainly score more for a better team. I’ve watched him once and I thought he gave THB the toughest game all second part of the season when I went every week.

I actually wrote somewhere on this forum that I wanted to sign the big lad from Preston back in June. So I’d be delighted with it. Watched the champions league final with Schumacher ( Bolton gaffer ) and didn’t know much about the lad and said Preston big lad is best I’d seen against us last season and he filled me in all about him and how he thinks he’ll have a good career. So interesting that he’s now being touted. I think it would be a coup to get him.

Got my 5 from corp today. All regulars with 20+ anyway.

Expectations for relegated sides: West Ham - playoffs Wolves - Promotion Burnley - Playoffs Established championship teams to watch (i.e., for promotion/playoff charge): Southampton, Norwich, Millwall, Swansea, Wrexham Promotion picks: Southampton, Wolves. Relegation Contenders: Portsmouth, Lincoln, Cardiff Relegation picks: Same as above. Top scorer (1 pick): Jimenez Most goal involvements (goals/assists): Azaz Eckert ban decision sweepstake: Thursday 13th August 2028 Saints hot take : Matsuki to be Saints new number 6.

Personally I’d have offered him a two year deal, think we’ll regret this one. Him and Larin were great for one another. On multiple occasions one would be having a bad game and the other would have an impact from bench. Genuinely upset he’s not back. Hope we have something better lined up.

Plenty left - Northam filling up fast though.

I think the club know, gut says they’ve appealed a 6 game touchline and we’re awaiting confirmation. Surely getting someone to spy, for which we’ve already been punished for can’t be a larger ban than racism, bullying, or head butting David Mayler ( however poor the connection ).

They literally do things for attention, of the 9000 doing West Ham I bet only 500 go regularly away, the rest will be Man Ya’nited fans from Hilsea. The detest I have for them is more than anything ever, they are the worst of the worst. Such a shame we haven’t got over the line in recent years for a trophy as that’s the one thing they’ll have on us forever. Cnuts.

Blackburn

“He’s gonna take us up, EFL’s corrupt, we’ve got ….. “

I’d imagine we’d line up something like this based on injuries / knocks. Peretz Bree THB Stephens/Wood Manning Bragg Downs Matsuki Dobbin Scienza Downs Subs - Long, Stephens/Wood, Archer, Larin, Fellows, Jander, Azaz. That’s what I’d put my money on anyway.

Ten mins of my life gone to realise he hasn’t signed for Blackburn.

So no news on Watford then?
