Would they be the 'bigger journos' who all predicted the Ings to Villa deal? Yes, let's hear from them. All, er, none of them.

Yes, exactly. If finding and signing great strikers at bargain prices was as simple as some people on here seems to think, then every club would score 100 goals a season. Edouard doesn't look worth the money and although Nunez is probably better, is he good enough for us to risk £35m+ on him...

For a second or two I thought of posting some clips of Andersen ball-watching, missing headers and being out-run and out-thought in Fulham games against the colossal talents of Burnley and Southampton last season, but what would be the point in wasting my time? I'm sure you could find some...

I'm speculating about Naylor and Owen. But a friend who used to work for the Argus assures me that they have had some terse communications from the club when they published anything they didn't like. I believe the serialisation of Dick Knight's book wasn't well received, for example.

There are other instances when clubs and media need to interact and I know that the club keep a close eye on what the Argus says about them. Their view is that the Argus needs them more than they need it at the moment. But a local paper can be an asset to a club in a way that a website such as...

Exactly this. I like the fact that he's demanding the ball and telling teammates where they should have run. Shows he wants to get goals and assists.

And he seems to be the perfect Potter player, great first touch, can take the ball in tight areas, pass, everything. And versatile. Maybe too versatile for his own good.

Was that an own goal attempt by BDB?

I think we had plenty of time to be in for McBurnie before Sheffield United took a punt but didn't bother, so I assume Potter didn't rate his chances of stepping up. And was proved right, you'd have to say. This Grimes link also seems to be a 2+2=5 type guess from the clickbait crew. Just...

Just to avoid going back to the topic of this thread for a moment, wasn't the 2019 election unusual in that it wasn't won from the centre ground? It surely can't happen again. Johnson, Sunak etc are now trying to re-occupy that centre with socialist spending policies and downplaying the higher...

Saying this seems insane even to me, but very occasionally there did seem to be a player in there somewhere. That goal at Millwall was unbelievably good, and although his goals against Swansea, Everton and Arsenal were tap-ins to some extent, they were the sort of tap-ins that we've all seen...

Always pleased to see a rival signing a player who got relegated last season. Especially a defender.

From what I can tell of The Athletic, it's not Naylor's job to write "anything remotely interesting". The people they have covering individual clubs are either ex-local paper lags or - if they couldn't get them - kids fresh out of journalism schools. If they had wanted better writers, there are...

Good job putting "remember" in quotes. The Walton & Hersham FA Cup replay was in the midweek before the Bristol Rovers game. But you're right that we've moved on from the days of Ken Beamish and Ronnie Howell.

Peter Ward, Bruno, Bobby Z, Nobby Horton. Backups - Steve Foster, Bobby Smith, Tommy Cook, Muzza, Dunk, Gary Hart.

No, she's waiting for a better offer. The Queen can't hang on forever.

Naylor said no several days ago.

Do you mean that he told the biggest lie, or that he lied most often? I can't believe it's the second, because Johnson lies almost every time he opens his mouth.

Most politicians are not exactly liars, but are forced to compromise at every stage - which is the nature of the job. A Kent Tory MP is an acquaintance of mine through mutual friends and although he seems a decent enough bloke in company, I've seen him on TV defending the indefensible and...
