Mike Dean is joining Simon Thomas next season on Soccer Saturday

This could be interesting, not one to dodge a bit of controversy is Mike Dean. Let's hope he is allowed to say it as it is.

The two I saw were Mark Chapman & Caroline Barker

Chapman is a bit wooden, Barker is dreadful. Michelle Owen would have been good in the hot seat and was good on the EFL games for Sky last season.

Simon Thomas is ok for me.

Because that won’t meet current PL standards either

Yes of course, the old VAR , Goal line stuff.

I can't see why the game could not have been switched to the soulless Stadium MK which is vacant on that day (as it is most game days) as Franchise are away at Colcehester.

I find Eva Cassidys’ Field of Gold more emotive. Sadly taken far too young but, what a pure voice.

Live Eva Cassidy songs, but for emotive Sandy Denny and Fairport Convention "Who knows where the time goes" is right up there.

My Christmas present last year was The Highwaymen DVD recorded at Nassau Coliseum in March 1990, I properly listened to Sunday Morning Comin' Down which awoke my interest and the whole of that gig was just immense.

"Kicking around the moments that make up a dull day, fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way". Agreeing with IPA some of their lyrics are timeless genius.

It's actually been a great day watching sport all over the place and a bit of Floyd with a couple of beers rounds it off nicely.

I think they have Beyer at £4.5 million. Definite pick for me.

All of the above advice is good, but you should try to see Sennen Cove late afternoon on a sunny day. It's close to Lands End but just a beautiful spot.

Phenomenal sprint from a full kilometre / kilometer out to win today's stage.

Quite entertaining for a weekend with no football.

He looked decent when I saw him at Stevenage last season. Orient will be a good fit for him though and I think he'll do well there.

aclaretinstevenage

I've seen him a few times when Orient played Stevenage. He's more than decent could probably play now for a bottom half Championship team. Premier League? That's a big ask I'd say as it is now. Coming as number 3 /2 keeper will learn and improve obviously maybe a Carabao Cup game or two. The move mu...

A winger beating a couple of defenders , getting to the by line crossing to a centre forward - or striker these day - met with a bullet header past the despairing dive of a goalkeeper.

After that a full on volley from outside the box into the top corner.

Doesn't it just pick 2 or 3 who have rather than all of them

Dobson, Trevor Steven, Heath, Gazza plus many more aren't mentioned either

Possibly!, just seems odd having Tarkowski in the picture then not mentioning him in the write up given both he and Dwight left Burnley at the same time ...ish!

Just looking around and spotted an article on the BFC website "In Focus Everton" The article features a Played for Both section with a photo of McNeil and Tarkowski then a write up on McNeil and Michael Keane and Harry Potts but no write up on Tarkowski. While not being earth shattering it's a bit o...

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas up to this point. I think we can confirm that we can continue raising money for the foodbank with the First Goal Sweep and Fantasy Premier League. We can then consider other initiatives from there. Agree with this approach. Important to keep the foodbank ...

The problem is that to everyone in the world outside of most of England, England means London. Manchester means north of London. What’s the problem.

The Charity Shield only moved to Wembley the season after we beat City 1-0 at Maine Road to win it. I think it was City and us (2nd Division Champions) because the League and Cup winners didn't want to play for the Shield, if I remember correctly I think that's right and I'm sure there were other t...

Is he still coaching? Not bad at his age. Saw this just now, Although Tyler has enjoyed a glittering career as a commentator, he is also a respected football coach.

Woking don't do fans.

There is a very unhealthy "rivalry" going back to Conference days (Clive Walker and all that) between Woking and Stevenage fans. Obviously not in the same league as Burnley and "that lot" but not good all the same.

aclaretinstevenage

Scoring the winner at Wembley!

aclaretinstevenage

I seem to be in a minority here but having played against him and witnessed his attitude post match I've always considered the man an arrogant arsehole and have never liked his commentating "style". Who will blow the smoke up Carragher's arse now Tyler is gone?

Sad news. I played against him when he was in a "commentators X12 in a charity game at Stevenage with a number of other top flight players.

The Midlands is the bit of no man's land in the middle that has all the bad bits from the north and all the bad bits from the south and is just there to act as a UN-esque buffer zone between the two.

I quite like that!

Almost, but being from the South anything above NORTHampton is North.

Midlands doesn't exist whoever heard of a North /Midlands Divide or a South / Midlands Divide.
