So a change to a 4 from a 3 at the back, with 3 changes of players, 1 of then to a returning Hoedt or a debutant 20 year old, and dropping Bednarek who was the only CB who emerged from Burnley game with any credit. I know we all differ in opinion, but that's nuts.

Me neither. Its our shirt with our sponsors logo on. Unless that is the point, I don't get the point.

Yep, it's a sorry world, and kids carry stuff they shouldn't. Your point was that searching of the lad going into a footy match was 'improper'. You've now gone off at a tangent. He was searched, that's not improper, it's sensible and necessary. I'm not getting into a wider discussion about searching of youths.

If it's for security at a footy match it's entirely proper imo. We're not talking about some random grabbing his crown jewels in sainsburys.

Seriously? He should have saved the 3rd, and a better keeper would have kept out the 1st. I'm with you on the 2nd.

What's the issue? You know your nipper wasn't carrying anything he wasn't supposed to, but the stewards didn't. People are searched for a reason and I'm not sure why a 13 year old shouldn't get the same treatment as everyone else.

I'm convinced that you've convinced me. I think.

No. Mccarthy is better imo. How he didn't save the 3rd is beyond me. He made 1 save ffs.

He's not suggesting we drop Adams...he's playing him twice!!

That's what's I would do. Vestergard is too slow, Stephens utter sh1te, so don't play either. I'd rather sit 3 in front of a back 4 which has to include Yoshida.

Thanks. Found it. Wish I hadn't though.

Where's today's game mate? I've signed up and watching through lqt but can't see it anywhere...

It's not wrong though. Many of the people who whinge about the shirt will buy it.

Yes, messaged them earlier and been sent link to sideload onto fire box. Will trial next week and then commit to a year if it's decent. Thanks again ?

Cheers Dazza, I'll give that one a go ?

His reasoning leaves much to be desired - our issue, for me, is not firepower but the creativity to supply the forwards plus our defence and limited midfield options. I think he's failed to highlight our actual weaknesses. That said, I disagree about Brighton strengthening, they've had a cracking window. Maupay imo was the standout striker in the championship last season and offers more than Adams and Pukki who'll both do OK but Maupay is a notch above for me. Mooy is slight in build but he's a proven Premier league player who'll create chances galore for them.

Yep. His latest tweet is the squaker one (the fake) announcing the signing. The 'look at me' idiot tweeted it well after it was known to be a fake.

Thanks for the info. Interesting situation, but as you say, it's kind of sensible.

ANOTHER SUITOR FOR AUSTIN Adding to the news that West Brom are in for Southampton striker Charlie Austin (8.23), Sky Sports News understands Bristol City are also in talks with the Saints to bring him to Ashton Gate.

Yep. We're gonna be competitive and I'm more optimistic about Adams after pre season than I was when we signed him. Djenepo has something about him too and I hope Boufal stays and adds some missing flair. Looking forward to it.

Good business for them. Brighton have had a good summer.

"Boring apologists". Behave. The majority of people have enough sense to want more but be realistic about the mess that Les has left us in.
