Indeed. Unless I'm mistaken, a new process was created to ensure a flag WAS flown out of respect for Diana.

Dunno, but I have no issue with this round of fixtures being called off. Not sure I get the grass roots decision though, that one seems odd.

100% no less record. Impressive.

What none of those other events have, and rugby & cricket, is football fans. If any crowd of people are going to behave like disrespectful cocks, it's at football. Correct decision for me. Football can miss a week, no hardship. I think it's those getting upset about it who are looking a bit silly imo.

Behave. Scandalous reaction.

I'm not. He was far from average - great player for us.

It was indeed. Nice words, and he said it all. Sad loss of a great lady who gave her life to serving our country, and did it with grace and humility.

As you say, they'll want a "name". It has to be Poch for me.

Glue

Not sure that matters, he did miss it. Any player at any level should have buried that.

Indeed, different view, and I can see yours but I just didn't read what he said as a swipe at us, rather bigging up Villa. I hadn't appreciated until yesterday that he'd chosen not to play previously. Cos of that, and the drop of in performances, I'm glad he's gone.

Barber

You're out by 180 degrees imo. He's talking up his new club. He ain't going to endear himself to Villa and their fans by saying "you're a Step backwards but I needed to move, so here I am" or similar, and he doesn't need to keep is sweet cos he ain't here anymore. If you're right that he's having a swipe at us, are you saying it's ok for fans to disrespect him and say he's shite, a manager to dump him, but that he can't be negative about the club? Too many thinned skin people in this world.

Behave. Sure, he was no Rio Ferdinand, but he wasn't as bad as you make out. Converted to CB and always did pretty well there imo. Personally I'd have kept him as cover. Good luck to the lad.

It didn't say we would...it was a question, nothing more.

Giant

Yes, but your initial point was that of Redmond and Theo (wide players) leave we need to replace them. That's a different point to needing an alternative CF.

What he said ^^^ Theo was injured for ages, and Redmond is off the scene. Neither made the 20 for Leeds or Man United - both out and one is fine with me.

Assuming we've paid £10m for Edozie, he'll be around the first team.

Yep, he's far better than national league. Hopefully he'll do well and find a level somewhere between there and here.

Blimey, he's better than national league. Hope he gets games and a proper move.

Ah, gotcha... cheers. My neck is wound in 😂

Hadn't appreciated taht. Intrigued to know what's gone on if true though. SG said above that we've had issues with Chelsea, then a rumour we've got a bright talent back.

That's the fella who said yesterday that Edozie was off to Leverkusen. Not sure that he's any more reliable than your man Crook.

I think its "let's get ourselves a buffet of players and try them all and see who we like best". It's brave/interesting/mad/exciting though.
