Most of the reports suggest that the amount of money up front was the reason for the negotiations taking so long and that Albion insisted on exactly that.

£50 million (and add-ons, I assume) for a player who cost us very little, who can't head the ball particularly well and has only one season of Premier League football under his belt. And plays in a position where we're already strong. Bloody hell. Great deal for us, even if he does become the...

There must be something in the water in Rochdale, because Roberts looks much taller now. Which is good, because height was all he was lacking before.

He's grown about a foot if so ...

Most settlements in that area appear to have grown more organically, though. And the cynic in me doubts whether Eton College will be providing much affordable housing.

If a certain other African midfielder leaves, we can still sing his song but instead of "Bissouma", say "Computer!"

https://www.theargus.co.uk/homes/property/news/19425720.leaders-lewes-district-council-oppose-eton-college-building-plans/ I imagine we're supporting Lewes District Council over a controversial planning issue on this occasion?

Two. Not even close. Maybe if Dunk was in the squad ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxIkWxBtth4 From when Arsenal thought they might sign him. Annoying presenter and long-winded but some interesting stuff in there. Sorry if fixtures.

Nail on head. Just look at what Jones managed at Newcastle at the end of last season. Part of good management is getting the right people around you. Southgate has shown in the past that he is tactically weak so he has done something about it. Fair play. Of course, if we f*** it up against...

That was like watching the Albion but with goals. Unfortunately Denmark will be miles better than a tired Ukraine.

Izzy Brown, play for England? What at?

Finally, an official announcement from Palace. They've got a yellow away kit next season.

Lucky guy. Beautiful country, beautiful city, beautiful stadium.

Most sport is boring, tennis especially so. If Federer was playing Djokovic in my back garden*, I wouldn't look out of the window. * Not that it's big enough ...

Well, Paul Trollope and Paul Nevin left when Hughton did, and Billy Reid and Bjorn Hamberg came in with Potter, and GP even insisted on his own recruitment guy joining. The only first-team coach who stayed was Ben Roberts. Replacing anyone below first-team level at the same time as a...

If my memory isn't playing tricks, long sleeves were fashionable in the late 1960s and it was very unusual for teams to wear short sleeves except at the very beginning of a season when the weather was hot. I remember we had short-sleeved shirts with blue collars at the beginning of the 1972-3...

He probably hadn't seen much of Ben White as BW was trailing in his wake as he ran through to score at the Amex and he hasn't got eyes in the back of his head.

Isn't there quite a lot of investment bank money behind it? If so it will survive for a reasonable time even if subscriptions fall. But it's a flawed product. For every good writer such as Stuart James there's a local paper hack or kid straight out of journalism school. If you think Andy...

It would be easier to cheer the England squad if they had a manager who got them playing better football. But as it is, I just see players I want the Albion to score against or prevent from scoring.
