Chester v Wrexham is similar. Stoke v Vale is evil as is Wolves v Baggies. How West Ham v Millwall, Villa v Blues and Rovers v Burnley aren't on there is odd when Spurs v Arsenal is.

Cheap appointment as a manager. Selling everything of value. Freefall through the leagues. Fuck 'em.

Average in a very average side last season without a doubt. Perhaps he's just gone stale at Schalke.

We clearly need another DM and I've no doubt that Ralph has identified who he wants. Whether we can get them or not is a whole different problem.

Julian Nagglsman was who I wanted to take over from RK. It was obvious back then what a talent he was. He'll be the next City manager IMHO.

JV had genuine calibre from his BMG time. In fact, I'll own up to thinking it was an excellent signing as I watch the Bundesliga and he was rock solid. As for Hoedt, I've always said I reckon we went to Lazio to buy Stefan de Vrij and came back with the wrong Dutchman. Hoedt couldn't even get a game for Lazio at that stage.

This hot weather is too much for me. Had to bail out at 80km yesterday as I was melting, as was the road, literally. My northern European constitution isn't built for anything above the mid-20s C.

It would appear so in your case.

Anyone who watched Schalke last season, and they were on BT an awful lot, will tell you he was bang average in a bang average team. Also, the Athletic writers know their shit.

I have friends whose nippers are at the academy at Walsall and they speak very highly of him. It was expected he'd end up and Wolves, Baggies or Villa.

When we have north of £60m worth of dross out on loan, whose baulk of wages we've been carrying, it's hardly surprising we're not cracking the cheque book open.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nah, peddling mis-information isn't anti-woke, or any other shit phrase you'd choose to use. It's bollox, pure and simple.

You are boss at this. 😂😂😂

That the majority of Saints fans are "meh" about him going sums it up to me.

Concur.

Of all the Boscombe players available, Ake aside, he's the only one I'd really go after.

What do you think De Virj was at the time apart from a fairly young Dutch international playing for Lazio?

I'm still convinced we went to Lazio to buy "that Dutch CB of theirs" but instead of coming back with Stefan de Vrij.........

We got hammered 0-9 at home. It's a record that will stand long after we are dead and buried. Of course it's the standout result of the season. Yes we get pissed off to the constant references to it but it's hardly surprising that it is reference all the time.

Reading the piece in the Telegraph about Boscombe and how they owe £81m still on players plus have players with no relegation clause, they could well go the way of the skates.

We spent £15m on Adams and have £15m Carillo out on loan plus Long and Obafemi. There is no way on planet earth we are going to sign another forward.

Good point.

MOTD goal of the season is a straight choice from the winners of their goal of the month.

And his beauty at Sheffield.
