Well it's international weekend so a time to go to a match at a lower league local football club, in my case FA Cup 1st Round qualification match Nantwich Town v Grantham, I find grass roots football a refreshing change. Is anyone else on here taking the opportunity to go to a lower league game?

Sorry I was more thinking about home cup matches, if they come about this season that is.

Can it be used to buy Cup tickets? I can't see why not. Or does that come under other events?

That's how I heard it. Maybe someone can find the clip of what he actually said.

Apparently he is from Solihull

Bertrand tested positive for covid and Vesty picked up an injury in training during the week, I can't see anywhere what the injury is or how serious.

We look a better unit without Redmond or Walcott on the pitch have them as subs if required.

Who the hell is our defensive coach? Appalling marking.

At the start of the 'match ready' article they call it PCR test but further down they call it a LFT, I think that PCR test is incorrect. As you say the link is to the NHS LFT instructions.

The 2nd international break comes in November after 11 games when we will have played teams of all abilities, I can see this being the point when the board should be considering a managerial change if things are going badly. Looking at the 11 games I can see us only getting 5 to 7 points by then with games 9 and 10 at home to Burnley and away at Watford being key, get 0 or 1 point against these and things could be looking tricky for Ralph.

We won't want to relinquish our dropped points from winning position title without a struggle!! Started already I see!!

Bertrand not starting for Leicester or even on subs bench, Vesty is on the bench.

I read some comments from Liverpool fans that they had to change their defensive tactics to accommodate Philips lack of speed i.e. didn't play with such a high line.

According to the BBC Ralph press conference is at 13.30

I think that my son had the choice of an actual season ticket or to download it onto his phone digitally. He went the digital route and got this as soon as he paid for his several weeks ago.

Careful what you say, I dared to criticise the bickering an hour ago, got lots of 'likes' and the post has mysteriously disappeared!!

He may fancy working with Hassenhuttl again?, some extracts below from a Guardian article from an interview in Feb this year. Hussenhuttl left Leipzig at the end of the 2018 season only 4 months after Lookman joined though. “Ralph Rangnick [Leipzig’s director of football] had been to watch a few of my games at Charlton. He’d known of me for a long time. So I spoke to him and to Ralph Hasenhüttl [then Leipzig’s manager] and they were confident I would do well in the Bundesliga. I had that same belief.” He stresses that Hasenhüttl “helped me a lot. I remember there was a time where he told me I needed to be more selfish. I looked at my game and I was like: ‘Yes, he’s right.’”

My son went to the TO at lunchtime where they confirmed that the Kingsland wouldn't be open tomorrow. They wouldn't let him choose another seat there and then, he was asked to do it tomorrow!! Strangely blocks 29 and 34 are showing as available in the Kingsland on the ticket site, must be an error I guess?

Who's on Potters Heron watch?

Does anyone know if the Kingsland stand is open for Saturdays game?

My son is at the match and confirms that only 13 outfield and 2 keepers are warming up.

I really like the look of it, sorry to be positive!!

My son had an email a few weeks ago and has paid the balance.

The Italians have always been a cheating unsportmanship type team with wimp outcomes from fouls (or not). Gives the game a bad name and is not the way to play it, referees should ignore it but never do. Wish there was VAR for injury seriousness and book those that are feigning it.
