Who do you think is the most likely to be signed out of the current crop of rumours?
Neal Maupay, Adam Webster, Ollie McBurnie, Youssef En-Nesyri, or none of them?
That's tremendous planning.
Do you also have a fully loaded water pistol (long-range version) to soak unsuspecting drunks as they stagger down your road late at night?
"It snuck up on us" just sounds like Holly explaining away a near accident in Red Dwarf.
Next week we'll have a full-on Worldwide panic as they spot something else heading straight for us, only to realise it was a spec of grit on the screen.
Difficult to keep this up to date though.
Once upon a time I had a very good source, so I may have made my way on to the "trusted" list, but that source has now gone (99% of the time anyway) and therefore anything I say is purely of my own opinion, which is quite frankly, pretty irrelevant.
I'm strongly in favour of doing that. Saw flashes from him last season that was very encouraging.
My point is that we don't have a long line of strikers that Maupay would be sitting behind trying to get a start. I think we are a perfect fit for him.
Agreed. It's very odd, as I thought he would be the first player teams chased down, yet he looks set for a season in The Championship.
But I thought the same last season about Joe Allen at Stoke, and he never went anywhere.
Sadly, it probably just means I'm a pretty poor judge of a player.
And this is the point I keep coming back to with where our expectations are. As we slipped to the edge of the relegation zone, I kept hearing people saying we shouldn't be "down there" but the reality is that the teams just ahead of "down there" are teams that we simply cannot compete with for...
Having missed pre-season with his new club, then to break into their first team he really needs to join a club who are still relying on a striker who is closing in on 36 years old, and can't possibly go on much longer, but has to because that club have so little behind him that the other summer...
Has anyone asked Nicola Sturgeon what her plans are for the Scottish Border? She presumably has a plan, as she's seen the problems it creates in Ireland, but is still pushing on with wanting devolution and entry for Scotland into teh EU, so surely she has thought about it.
Not so much of a journey for me, so I may pop along at some point this season. Not for the 10th unfortunately as I'm away, but will keep an eye out for your fixtures.
Where is your new ground?
A great man, and top contributer on here.
The feeling at the time was that he was a tremendous loss, with his wise words and calm dissection of an issue being very hard to place. 2 years on, and this place is the still the worse for his loss. You just knew that if Lord B disagreed with you, it...
Have I missed something, a friendly against a Premier League side perhaps?
While people are using phrases such as "an upgrade on Knockaert" then let's not forget, against Championship sides, Knockaert looked like an upgrade on the more recent Knockaert.
Let's just keep calm and wait for the...
Various points there to cover.
Nope, don't think it's higher pricing. I've been to a few games in the States, and always found the pricing to be very reasonable. Not noticably more expensive than a top Premier League game.
Nope, NFL teams do not lose a "shit tonne of money" largely because they...
Similar capacities. They don't squeeze the population of the country into them.
You think it comes down to money, and a lack of it amongst our football teams? The teams are no about net profits these days, they are play things for the ridiculously wealthy billionaires around the globe. Just...
The more recent NFL stadiums seem to be going up at circa $1bn, and generally they do a long-term naming rights deal (longer term that we generally do here) to fund about 20% of the cost. I think the Viking stadium - superb btw, on my bucket list to visit - was about $1.1bn with $220m coming...
