Surprised to see Charles on the bench if he's (supposedly) very close to leaving...?

As much as I'd be amazed if we'd been the only ones doing it...

If the club are going to insist on having a plain back panel (Parsons said last night they had no choice on this "because it's in the rules") then at least make the whole back plain rather than this mish-mash bib-like bollocks. And stop giving the design brief to an 8 year old, FFS.

Spors made it clear "we only want to retain players who want to be here" so he'd be contradicting that stance if he then started insisting players stay against their wishes...

He seems to start every other sentence with: "we're not going to get everything right"... Realistic? Maybe, but hardly inspirational... I know Cortese had more flaws than a 100 storey office block (floors/flaws... Geddit...? ) but at least his attitude was always: "we're going to get everything right, even the f**king mattresses on away trips"

Definite Del Boy vibes with Parsons....

What sort of non-question was that FFS?

I thought it was the lead singer of Elbow

Same old story....

Careful what you wish for....

Yeah, but what good is that if we can't spy on the opposition any more...?

Not that I'd have wanted us to match Swansea's 3 year contract, but there we have a direct impact of the FA's dithering over the sanction process. (Maybe he'd have settled for a 2 year contract with us if the uncertainty over Eckert wasn't a factor).
