George Hirst signing for Stoke will be registered in time to play at St Mary's on Saturday.

Derby at home springs to mind.

So season over then?

You get nothing in tight games in a league where everyone can beat everyone else if you gift the opposition two goals.

Heading up a school isolation unit a Yr 11 was brought to me in tears by her Head of Year. Originally I thought the tears were because she felt her exclusion was unjust. However, trying to find out why she was crying proved a little more problematic. I offered to get a female member of staff to come and talk to her but eventually she confided that her "minge" hurt. I had no words.

Unless we're in it I don't follow the Champions League 😁

I thought I heard reported that the club were already looking into contingency for losing THB months ago maybe in Dragan's initial comments post spygate where he stated that no Year 1 contracted players would be sold unless it was for mega offers. Scienza, Jander, Azaz. Personally if you're playing in the Champions League your profile as prospective international centre back has to be enhanced whichever League you are playing in. I think THB achieved his redemption arc in the latter half of the season when eventually playing in a system that suited him. He has nothing to prove and at 24 and three seasons with us its time for the next step.

According to them they're already up.

And Cardiff born Gareth Bale for that matter

Too sad for words. The sport is dangerous enough as it is without vehicles going the wrong way down the parcours. Big shout out to commentator Jez Cox who had to announce the horrific news live yesterday. Great dignity and understandable emotion.

Agreed, we’ll become Swansea, Stoke, etc.

I've been hearing if you are an engineer on the continent you're almost revered as are teachers, here we barely give those occupations house room. I wonder why?

That's got broad employability appeal. However, people are starting to question degrees in the big humanities subjects, you know those that develop high level critical thinking skills, not just things like English Lit or Early Medieval Studies or other niche courses, but History and Geography. Both subjects develop a wide skill set which has in the past made graduates in them highly employable beyond just teaching and academia.
