****ing Liverpool for ****'s sake. £200k a week though... not many defenders are earning that. Would be funny if they lost the UCL qualifier.

I'll conduct some investigations in due course. I may be gone some time.

I dunno. We must have given them permission to speak with him if negotiations are that advanced / overt and, if so, I doubt the club is under illusions that he's just going to just resign and walk-away from any termination payments owed. Hard to see a way back here, though, if we have approved an approach.

****ing social media. Giving a platform to muppets to clutter the internet up with their inane and ill-informed views. I much prefer footy boards.

And we finished above all of them. Which of the teams above us do we have a better squad than?

Targett is manifestly a better defender. McQueen is better going forwards. So I guess they wanted a defender.

I always have a stringent game of Monopoly at the airport before any flight. If we haven't finished by boarding time I tell the captain to ruddy well wait until we have.

Faltering a bit on public sector pay. Too rigid. Needs to be more empathetic. She can give it the "money tree" line but still act like she cares.

May doing much better tonight.

That's us Huddersfield and Brighton in the Premier League. It's like the League One days! And Bournemouth! Also, aren't Reading awful? Who likes Reading? Answer: no one!

It's nonsense to say we have no leverage. The fact that the EU won't (apparently) countenance negotiating future relationship terms until they've secured an agreement over the "divorce" bill shows there is some leverage. If we walked away without paying anything beyond our last date of membership it would be a major cock-up for them. What would certainly diminish our leverage considerably would be the knowledge that there was to be a further referendum to approve or reject the final deal (as per Farron's cack-brained / disingenuous suggestion). There's a lot to legitimately criticise May for but sticking to a tough / slightly hyperbolic script in the preamble to negotiations is not one of them IMO. The bigger criticism is the complete waste of time being caused by this election. This should have happened promptly after the referendum result or not at all. We are just wasting time on the Article 50 clock.

I've got quite bad hay-fever today. I keep chemiseing.

Good job we refinanced Cortese's Vibrac loan on better terms!

Our ratio of 69% is reasonably healthy, particularly when we try to avoid again players with no resale value.

It's an opinion Shurlock. Of course it will have some bias. For the record, I expect a lot of people will have a similar opinion.

Percy Verance is a right ****, I'll grant you that.

This thread is better.

Actually, the Tories shouldn't attend at all if May won't do it. They either want to be part of it - in which case May should be there - or they don't, in which case it's nonsense to send along a non-leader to a leader's debate.

That would be silly, meaning that when Austin next gets injured we will only have one striker. We should try and move on Long and Jay Rod and sign someone else good. But not Max Kruse.

No, no, no... What you do is get a load of forwards (big old bruisers; built like a brick ****house; send the keeper and the ball flying into the net) in the other team's box then GET IT IN THE ****ING MIXER. I know it's a bit avant garde but all the best sides will be doing it soon.

You must have the same source as me mate. I can confirm all the above is DEFINITELY A FACT. Also, expect a departure or two. Can't give names, for obvious reasons.

Max Kruse isn't good enough.

Bad choice from the Tories to send Amber Rudd along tonight. She's awful. Not even "shrill", just awful. Should have sent BoJo for the laughs.
