So making money on a bet against your team is ok, but getting fantasy football points against them is wrong? Each to their own.

He wouldn't have signed for less than that. Quite a bit more I'd guess.

The story is undoubtedly bollox, but however deficient Bednarek may be, I don't get the fascination with replacing him with Colwill. He's 19 years old with one season in the championship behind him. Utterly ridiculous to suggest swapping our senior CB with a kid. We need a decent experienced CB, with younger players around him.

I'll take US figures on losses with a pinch if salt. I think many in the west are hoping that Russia are doing rather than worse than they are, both militarily and economically. The truth is that their losses will be huge, but there's no avoiding that big chunks of the western world will sink into recession and suffer huge inflation as a result of all of this, so it's inevitable that the extent of Russian loss/suffering will be exaggerated.

Not sure tbh. Depends what shape we go with 2nd half. I'd guess Redmond as a lwb.

No FT subscription sadly. I suspect that China is or will be dancing with all the girls at the party.

All 10 subs on at half time and we'll get a half with Lavia, Ketchup, and Aribo playing with likely outfield starters. I'd much prefer that than seeing the new boys mixing it up with Lyanco, Valery, Redmond etc.

That pre supposes that China will play the western game. I doubt they will, and it'll be all but impossible to police it.

I hope so, I just don't see what he brings to the first team. Back to tonight, the big plus is Perraud back - that's a nice bonus.

Beat me to it...I had it as 3rd kit though!

That's not bad to be fair. Slap the sponsor logo on it and it would have been a half decent 3rd kit.

You're not the only 1. For every Tino there's at least one Simeu. We needed a better GK, better CB, arguably better LB, an upgrade/alternative in CM, upgrade at 10, and upgrade up front. We've arguably got that in the GK and Aribo, but apart from that I can't see where we've improved our starting XI. Indeed, with Perraud and Tino still out, we're arguably worse in terms of starters.

I don't doubt that, but not to buy a striker. A replacement CB I understand, but nobody will persuade me we're selling Bednarek to buy a striker only to stick Lyanco or Stephens in at CB. That'd be suicide.

What's all this nonsense about selling Bednarek to buy a striker?! Bednarek was made captain in JWP's absence and is the only senior CB we have. He's not going to be sold to buy a striker.

They'd have posted if it was a loan. He must be injured...or with the first team!
