Sour Mash

Agreed, but I believe the government must also be able to do more about the continued high levels of non-EU immigration - I can't believe their hands are completely tied in that regard.

"The Refugee and Migrant Forum of East London (Ramfel) held "an emergency tension-monitoring" meeting with Home Office officials on Friday afternoon after receiving complaints about the intimidating nature of the message." Wow. What the hell has happened to this country.

Never done the night out up there, should tick it off really, but can imagine it'd be a laugh, certainly no shortage of pubs up there.

Going to be quite entertaining this season watching him implode as their season will inevitably from bad to worse.

You could define it as exceptional and stand-out performance and achievement in their field which puts them head and shoulders above the majority of their peers?

Equally that would be balanced out by seats already showing as "sold", but are boxed off for comps etc.

No, I don't think simply managing in the top flight can mean you're considered "world class".

Agreed, can't complain about our opening fixtures at all, real opportunity to start well and get some real momentum going.

Can't knock it, really good, positive article. Will be able to judge if MP is "World Class" at the end of this seaon though.

Just a sort related point to all this that might affect a few people, Swansea at home at the start of October will be moved to the Sunday if they progress through to the group stages of the Europa League.

No thread on this and only a month away, so may as well start something off. Still loads and loads of dirt cheap train tickets available from London Liverpool Street for this, £16 return without a railcard. ONly two away games in the more than two months after this one, so worth getting a day out in while you have the chance.

According to Monk on here we did inquire about buying him. Think Mourinho will want to give him at least one season, but if they do buy Rooney and still ahve Torress and Ba on their books I'm not sure how that'll work out for them.

Sad to see anohter thread ruined by the usual trolls. This is a worthwhile thread - things aren't just a bit quiet, it seems like almost all rumours, ITK snippets have dried up, as opposed to a month or so ago when there was quite a bit of news. Not sure if it's a good sign or not. How many more players are we looking to bring in? Is it just the one, top class striker?

The position he plays in we need goals and assists, they do matter. I'd also suggest he's not far off his 'peak' age.

Well on that basis what should happen is there should be a decent grant for those that want to re-train in stuff like nursing.

Having £20k in the bank and choosing to become a mature student isn't being 'poor' though is it?

I might have missed something, but why should she be getting housing benefits?

What will we see in the Celta Vigo game that we didn't against Besiktas? Not much difference in terms of quality.

Can you train decision making in a footballer in their mid 20s? That's something quite ingrained I reckon.

Think his confidence has gone a bit. Wouldn't currently be in my first choice 11 .

Exactly this.

Strachan has selected Fox for his squad in June of this year, Fox pulled out injured. Not too sure what has changed between early June and now though.

Do genuinely like our new home kit?

Don't think it was to be honest.

But they have a lot more games in which to play them all.
