Fair enough, they can fuck off now then.

Cheers, not a massive fan of the Denmark style but not the worst it could be. Hope they get a few old favourites back in the retro range, always regretted not getting the rank xerox home and away amongst others.

Agree with that. You could probably add Adams in as well. I know he's not great but he'll probably be a better than average striker in the Championship. Of them I'd say Alcaraz, Sulemana and Tella are the ones we have the most realistic chance of keeping. Alcaraz and Sulemana because they only arrived in January so they'd have known relegation was a realistic possibility. I don't see many clubs offering us our money back on Sulemana anyway and with Tella it really depends on whether Burnley will risk 20M. August isn't going to be much fun - suspect at least half of that lot will still be here and we'll be waiting on bids before we know whether or not we need to replace them.

Apparently the Daily Mail gig is just the first of a few jobs he's lined up. Due to be a contestant on "The Great British Bake Off" and the new host of "Would I lie to you". -

Seems like Boris doesn't want his allies voting against the report findings on Monday: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-65930011 Theory behind this is that it would expose the lack of support he actually has which would heap more embarrassment on him. -
I can't say I'm that excited about Martin anyway. Open mind and all that but his appointment isn't exactly the stuff of dreams so the delay hasn't really bothered me. I guess if we're in the same place by the end of next week then it's starting to look like there's more to it than just an issue over compensation. Can't say i'm overly bothered about not getting Maresca either - he comes with as many doubts as Martin will do.

You're a braver man than me making a joke like that.

I don’t really understand your point. You think he’s wank but are annoyed that it gets pointed out more than other players? Would you feel better if all wank players got equal abuse? I think that’s what you’re trying to say. I’m not sure that would help Moi particularly but I suppose it would give him more mates in the “we’re wank, feel free to point it out” club.

Fucks sake, have we not learned anything from last year? Relying on kids between 5 and 13 isn't going to get us promoted!

Cheers. Suspect that might be more embarrassing for Boris than the report itself. -

Does anyone know if MPs will actually vote now that Boris has resigned? I'd be interested to see how much support he has left in the Tory party. -

Completely agree mate, apparently Boris didn't even eat the cake! It's mental. People talk about lying but they're all the same. Boris got the wrong type of Brexit done and that's good enough for me AND he didn't lie about it! -

I can't believe we've had a report and all this fuss over some cake. Madness. -
I'm definitely going to miss his work against the ball. I'll be honest, it wasn't something I'd really considered before but it was joy to watch him in his pomp when he glided over the pitch in the general direction of where the ball was and, in terms of being in the vicinity of the ball and yet not actually having an influence on the game, he's been unparalleled. TBF I'm not going to criticise his commitment or work rate. I'm sure he's a nice bloke that has tried his best but he should never have been a premier league player.

Not really having a go so hopefully you don't take it that way but aren't you supposed to be in your 50's? If you've voted in 12 GEs then the youngest that makes you is 67. Also, if you've voted against the Tories more times than not then it begs the question who you have voted for - obviously UKIP in it's various incarnations will take up some of those but I reckon you're a closet Lib Dem for the others. It makes sense as the initials match up. -
It doesn't really matter if we're all fishing in the same pond, under blue skies and pulling in the right direction while contemplating the lack of an "i" in team (but there is a "me").

I don’t know much about him either but was the players player of the season for 22-23. Seems like a steady all round midfielder rather than anything outstanding. There’s a bloke on YouTube who rates him as his favourite player.
-
We should be aiming higher IMO. Rodri is 26 now so resale value won't be that high and I'm not sure what he's like on freekicks. Personally I think we should sign every single player we've been linked with (except Rodri), and keep Tella.

That's probably a fairly small percentage of the population isn't it? -
Yeah, I'd be happy to keep him. It was a strange signing because his best position seems to be as an out and out winger but he's rarely had the opportunity to play as one. Certainly under RH it was all about working against the ball and cutting inside but think we could have utilised him far better. I'd really only want him as a squad option so if he goes then it's not going to be the end of the world and definitely need to get the size of the squad down.
-
Probably right although it's hampering them as much as us. They'll be wanting to appoint a manager soon themselves so I expect we'll come to a predictable agreement without too much fuss.
-
Tella seems an easy one. Either Burnley stump up 20M or we keep him. I’m fairly relaxed either way, I’m not sure he’ll make it in the premier league but looks like he can in the championship so he’ll be an asset to us. He doesn’t look the type to be difficult either. Similar with Sulemana, if someone offers us our money back then I’d probably take it but I don’t think many clubs will. I’m also happy to keep him, could be a great player in the championship. Out of all of them, I would love to keep hold of Alcaraz. The lad can be something special for us.
-
Midfield needs to be a bit stronger IMO. I wouldn't want to go into the season with Grimes, Diallo, Smallbone and Aribo. Grimes might be OK but the others either aren't proper CM or not good enough at it. Otherwise it's probably decent enough.
-
Quite like all the DSB mockups. They're mostly all quite clean designs but whatever we usually get always seems messy in comparison.

I'd be happy with that if they kept the stripes on the back.
