The way the game is going I think in 10 years it will be a game I will no longer recognise and not be interested in watching. With the way VAR is overtaking every goal and taking the emotion out of the game. People have been saying that for decades - and are still watching and supporting football t...

And that makes it right to publish it? When the guy with the public profile they use as justification wasn't even born until 3 years after the crime?

Sorry guys but we aren't exactly looking anywhere near good enough yet You don't think we are anywhere near being good enough to beat Everton?

nobody expects sainthood, but perhaps on those wages they should expect professionalism and integrity. Most other 20 odd year olds are not playing football for a living on that sort of cash.

Apparently we are supporting him to the tune of 50 grand per week to get ******. You can tell it's not SD paying his wages from his own pocket.

Kelty Hearts 1 Solihull Moors 1 (2-4 on pens) after Kelty took a 1st half lead. Interesting format. I wonder if they have to travel up to Scotland for every game, some of these Scots lower league teams might struggle to afford the trip.

I thought the players get the money in bonuses? Doesn’t exactly go in the “kitty”. Please ignore Mik, he's just black cloud chasing. Budgeting for 17th just means that if we finish lower than that then we aren't initially crippled in the Championship. He's hardly likely to say that we budget for 18...

It means that we budget for the income we would receive should we finish 17th. Finishing 18th gets you relegated and finished higher than 17th puts extra money in the kitty

"We budget to finish fourth bottom every year, to be around the bottom end, but to survive," said Garlick who said the club had not received a single enquiry for Dyche's services during his Turf tenure. “That’s what we do our plan on. Anything above survival is a fantastic bonus for us ..&...

Even I had heard the Drinkwater deal was just waiting for the final bits to be sorted a few days before the signing - my Chelsea supporting mate (who has proper 'contacts') told me it was essentially a done deal with just who paid what to finalise.

The same people marked Lowton down last season when he was trying to mark Hazard. Of course, Salah got past him a couple of times and, of course, he gave Salah too much space out on the wing - but that is down to how we set up, which is to play it narrow and then move out to cover someone playing wi...

Bolton's new owners begin their reign with loans amounting to £40m from two of their number at 4% interest p.a. 4% is a great rate of interest for the club. I'm sure Flood's loans to BFC were at much higher rates of return. If they pay off all their debt with the cash then they will be on the road ...

Benson has a lot of learning to do before he is PL ready - same as the other u23 Development Squad young men. Drinkwater has had the lessons but to expect him to be ready to walk into our 1st XI after played so little in the last 2 years is crazy.

As much as I get the tradition view the situation, in reality, is that they have been legally insolvent for many years and only managed to keep playing because of dodgy, if legal, accounting practices and not paying people and businesses what they owe.

He may well do, but I'd be surprised. I think SD will bring him in possibly giving him 45 minutes. I suspect he will get the full 90 mins on Weds. Dyche said he is at the end of his personal pre-season now which means SD believes he is 90 mins fit. So it is: Hart; Bardsley, Long, Gibson, Taylor; Le...
