The Athletic reporting we couldn’t agree terms with Ballard, not a failed medical. Make of that what you will.

And that's what it was

Really cannot see how Roberts earned a move back to the PL. He had as many bad games as good last season. Even at his best he’s not going to improve many top flight sides.

Totally agree - still not sure how he fits into a team who play with a back four.

ClaretTony

The morning after - and thankful I recorded it, that will definitely get another watch sometime.

Nixon - a few hours ago

ClaretTony

What an incredible two and a half hours - wasn’t sure what to expect but it just seemed to get better and better and better as it went on.

Just awesome, just brilliant.

Seeing John Lennon there with Paul McCartney actually brought a tear to my eye. Fabulous moment.

Yes, fabulous.

He just had to do it

Unbelievable, awesome. What a performance.

Mccartney just milking The Beatles, leave it in the 60s son.

Have you not thought of switching off? If I was so bored and disinterested I wouldn’t entertain watching it.

ClaretTony

The Beatles aren't my cup of tea but are legendary and likely changed music forever. The Beatles should've been retired when Lennon died. I'm never a fan of bands splitting and individual members desperately trying to keep the sound going by themselves. Same thing with the Gallagher brothers, hang ...

ClaretTony

Fair enough but this guy changed pop music full stop. I'm not really an Elvis fan at all but I can appreciate the impact he had. Boring though? did you listen to Blackbird? Blackbird - so pleased he did it, fantastic song. I’m with you on Elvis but you have to have huge respect for people like him ...

Beatles stuff will come later. Imagine having the back catalogue of the biggest band there has ever likely to be to draw on.

Noel Gallagher was interviewed after their set and said he was looking forward to seeing the old bloke with the best back catalogue imaginable.

ClaretTony

I wholeheartedly agree, Tony. Without the past, there would be no now. My comments were aimed at those who were sneering at today's music and new bands like Dry Cleaning while crassly juxtaposing them with the Stones. Like I said upthread, my mum and dad go to watch up and comings bands, yet my dad...

He's havin some fun. Need a few more beatles tracks imho.

Here you go

ClaretTony

McCartney has been so much better than I expected. Really enjoying it.

ClaretTony

My dads watched some of the best, went to watch Diana Ross last week and said it was the greatest thing he’s ever seen. We went to see Frankie Valli the other year at his age, and I left gob smacked… that’s why they’re legends of the game I saw Frankie Valli over 50 years ago but saw Diana Ross in ...

If my younger work colleagues are anything to go by then they couldn’t.

I bet the majority of under thirties couldn’t name a Rolling Stones track.

I bet they could

ClaretTony

Some good comments on this thread, but by god we do have some right old stick-in-the-muds on this forum. Even my mum and dad, in their mid 60s, still go to watch up-and-coming bands at the venues like the Trades Club in Hebden Bridge and the Brudenell in Leeds. I went to see Dry Cleaning early on t...

Looking forward to watching football again without VAR

Might not yet - considering bringing VAR Light into the Championship

See rumours thread for all potential incomings and outgoings

Might be going before the new season, it's not clear, but he's being replaced by a chief operating officer and a chief refereeing officer.

Mike Riley stepping down as managing director of PGMOL this season so I presume it will be his final season

Didn't you say recently that an academy is needed to allow entry to European competition?

That's why Huddersfield kept a Cat 4 category

I’m surprised there isn't a game on it if only for bedding in purposes. Unless they intend using it for a training day.

It won’t be ready to play on

Just noticing that the time on the site seems to be in GMT still.....

Not sure whether you are referring to something re Glastonbury or this site. If this site, then you need to change your own profile.

We’ve added 96 this morning so definitely our session despite those late wickets

There isn’t enough publicity around the fact that Brentford scrapped their academy completely although they have reintroduced it quite recently

They are having to crevice their system because of Brexit and not being able to get players in so easily.

Interesting that VK pointed out in his press conference, Burnley were the old successful model, now it’s Brentford and to an extent (although they’ve doesn’t much more), Brighton.

Don’t agree with him on Brighton, they’ve thrown money at it.

ClaretTony

360 all out, lead of 31.

Been a good morning got us.

ClaretTony

Bairstow follows for 162.

351/9.

ClaretTony

Broad gone for 42

351/8

ClaretTony

Yeah, only the one FC 100 hasn’t he? Average in the low 20s. He’ll rightly be disappointed he didn’t quite make it but should still be proud with that knock especially in his first test. Had he done so he'd have become the first England player to score a century and take a wicket on his test debut ...

ClaretTony

And now have the lead

ClaretTony

55/6 and now 329/7 and scores level

I wouldn’t expect him to have many knocks like that to be fair. Great stuff.

That’s the real disappointment in that he might never get close to that again at test level.

ClaretTony

Got to 300 which looked impossible yesterday afternoon

Transfer periods haven't been this enjoyable with links to young and "exciting" players since Stan was here.

Stan - young players?

ClaretTony

Just when you really want someone to get 100.

But he’s done brilliantly and the partnership was 241.
