Picking on 17 year old girls now. You'd think this was the low point, but I fear he'll go further yet. Bit gutted really, my lad loved him at Burnley, sad to see what he's turned into. To be honest I don’t think he’s just turned into this. His past suggests he has always been an absolute weapon. Ne...

Yes, C is at the front.

Cheers. Makes sense but there doesn't seem too much logic in these seating plans sometimes.

Just for info, the plan for Block 2 is the wrong way round. Seat 47 should be on the left and seat 102 on the right.

Cheers Leisure. I presume C is at the bottom and T at the top?

You'd think the first thought of Burnley supporters would be being pleased for Trafford!

Too many on here just desperate to be proven right, or equally gleeful to prove others wrong.

Great news for Trafford, and Burnley.

It’s amazing how they never qualify for the Euros !

The tournament will be a poorer spectacle for their absence, that’s for sure.

Rileybobs

It’s still coming home. Brazil haven’t qualified for the Euro’s this summer so we’ve got nothing to fear.

Rileybobs

Dreadful game. We’ve created next to nothing this half.

Rileybobs

First one looked miles off. Would like to see a replay.

Unless someone makes a defensive error this game’s has 0-0 written all over it.

I reckon it’ll be a goal fest. Gonna go 4-3 to Brazil.

Yeah, only Watkins and Gordon, oh and Konsa and Chilwell, and Gallagher.

Is Chilwell really the best we can do at LB?

Probably goes to demonstrate why Tripper usually starts at left back.

I think that they are too late to set up a Direct Debit request for April because they have to give you, and your bank, at least 10 working days notice of the payment. If they decided to do 12 payments then they would be shouting themselves in the foot for next April - when revenues will probably b...

Shame on the conspiracists and those who demanded to be informed on the private matter of her health. I wish her all the best.

Rileybobs

I spoke to the club yesterday and, apparently, there will be an email at the start of next week with all the renewal details. Additionally, there will be NO direct debit payment for April, which will mean people needing to pay in 11 instalments at most, meaning at least an 8.3% increase in the mont...

Finished this off last week. Couldn’t really get too engaged with it to be honest. No connection to the characters and I thought the aerial fight scenes were very samey. It definitely improves in the second half with the behind enemy lines and POW camp storylines, but I found it a bit of a drag unfo...

Not sure they have even been marketed as a premium sportswear brand to be honest.

Rileybobs

I'm not sure on the quality, but Castore was marketed as a premium sportswear brand - they have a range at Reiss. Has this poor reputation just come from complaints from Villa players about the shirts retaining sweat?

I think teams just lost their internationals for a fixture. Bearing in mind years ago there would only have been a very small number of internationals from outside the home nations playing in England. That’s what I would have assumed. Obviously that isn’t practical at all in the Premier League thes...

The game got by quite well without international breaks for over a hundred years. Why have them at all, and especially why for friendlies. But then football got by without being on the telly every sodding day so what do I know. What did they do before international breaks? I can’t remember as I gue...

What if you leave the playing area and then take your shirt off then replace it before returning to the playing area?

Unless you've been given permission to leave the playing area then presumably you are classed as an active player.

Like Azerbaijan v Mongolia

Even England v Brazil will be nothing more than a money raiser

They are valuable friendlies for the teams taking part in them. It makes little difference that you have no interest in them.

Rileybobs

The point is to allow international teams to play friendlies which I'm sure are valuable in the build up to a major international tournament.

I thought the law was also related to wearing the correct attire at all times when on the pitch but may be wrong. The problem is, where do you draw the line?

It is important to some people though and they do have a purpose.

I imagine they are. What is the purpose in todays age, purely out of interest?

In any case, I didn’t bring this irrelevant comparison to the table and haven’t suggested we do away with people’s titles.

I don’t think that would be necessary - although those titles serve little purpose to my knowledge and I certainly wouldn’t be annoyed or upset if I was addressed by my name without it being prefixed with Mr.

Surely, a young girl should be inspired by top players in the women’s game? With all of the money being poured into women’s football and the extensive free to air TV coverage that should provide sufficient inspiration.

Surely a young girl should be inspired by whoever or whatever she wants.
