Zero jeopardy football though. About as exciting as the World Cup qualifiers.

Excellent news. Mentioned "the president" a couple of times in his interview - presumably Alan Pace?

an opinion is based on information, all this "we aren't signing anyone" was based on made up imaginary nonsense - they are worlds apart

To be fair to the nay-sayers, our recent record in transfer windows doesn't inspire much confidence.

Sproggy

Well I'll look forward to watching him play. If he drags this Man Utd team to the top of the league he really will cement his place as the best player ever.

And the fact that 24 hours ago Man City fans were crowing about him signing for them makes it all the better.

Sproggy

Retained the ball well for long periods. Created almost nothing. Should have lost given the (few) good chances created by Newcastle. Apart from one slip in the 2nd half, Collins looks very assured. Hennessy 10 Bardsley 6 Pieters. 6 Mee 8 Collins 7 Cork 4 Brownhill 7 Lennon 5 McNeill 7 Wood 5 Rodrigu...

Also, it's free delivery on all orders at the minute.

You can still get it online from the Brewdog site but only in 4-packs

Sproggy

Hopefully we'll dig in, frustrate them and catch a bit of luck on the break.

But shame on those behind the scenes for the state of our squad depth.

Sproggy

Compelling viewing - though I'm not sure the depiction of Armstrong was completely accurate. Fascinating fact - because they were behind the schedule on the lunar surface they didn't have time to transfer the camera from Armstrong to Aldrin which is why there are no (decent) photographs of Armstrong...

Is she even British?

She's Japanese with a British dad. Too much competition to guarantee a place in the Japanese team so she opted for GB.

Good for skateboarding in this country to have a medal winner so convenient all round.

Sproggy

Easy decision. He's not getting anywhere near the England squad with Southgate in charge. No matter who we play, 7 of the players are going to be defensive, plus Kane, plus the keeper so he's looking for one of the two remaining slots with about 12 others.

That was 19 years ago, hardly qualifies as ‘these days’. You have to go back 10 years to find a team relegated with 39 points, it only happens about once a decade.

So it will happen this season then?

Sproggy

He had a poor game last night. It happens. Fortunately we were playing a fairly ordinary team.

Sproggy

I was there. After the game the exit on the right hand side of the concourse (facing away from the pitch) was partially blocked by a van which caused a huge crush of people trying to get out. The police had to smash the windows to get in and release the handbrake to get it moved.

Sproggy

Where can I get a "massage of commiseration"? Sounds like fun.

Sproggy

Why not go the whole hog and get a topknot too?

Sproggy

Everything but the Grill

Sproggy

It doesn't matter who he picks. If he insists on playing two holding midfielders in every game, we'll end up with more of the rubbish that we saw last night. We had one shot on target in the whole game at home against Scotland. A Chelsea reserve player got MotM. Burnley would beat Scotland. Team sel...

Sproggy

The European refs don't seem to give free kicks based on the volume of the squeal from the diving player either.

Sproggy

Some marketing agency got paid a fortune to come up with that tosh.

Sproggy

So not divisive at all then?

Sproggy

I thought Mike Rigg was having quite a good transfer window compared to the last few.

Sproggy

Probably unfair to pick on Stones but as a unit, the England defence have at least one mistake in them per game against the better teams as they persist with Pep-ball at the back without the skill to pull it off or the brains to realise when not to try it.

Sproggy

Jake the Peg?

Sproggy

Blackburn won the Premierleague in 1995. They're now shite.

Sproggy

It doesn't matter whether its open or not. Clubs can sign players at any time, even 11 seconds after the window shuts as Leicester once proved. All the transfer window means is that they can't be registered to play for their new club until the window opens. I'll be writing a strongly worded letter ...

Sproggy

When did the transfer window open?

I have made my move

Whatever the outcome it’s been an adventure
Good luck sproggy and thanks again to Ralph and Spot

So have I. Not quite sure how I got this far but I'll take it. Good luck Wilks, let's hope it's a close one.

Yeah, it's in the name of the eldest.

I'm sure I won't be the only person holding a season ticket that is shared between more than one person.

I have 3 kids but only one child season ticket. Whichever one wants to go on the day gets it (it's an U21 so they all qualify).

Anyone know if half and half scarves will be available? They will but numbers are limited so it's recommended that you arrive in Burnley Town centre at 5pm at which point you will be allocated a position in the scarf queue. You must bring 30 pictures of you wearing different half & half scarves to ...

It wasn't a bad finish was it.

Other than being 10 yards offside, triffic.

Sproggy

At those odds, I'll have £10 on Wilks please.

Here's the same image with the ball https://www.thesun.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/NINTCHDBPICT000653549884-1.jpg?strip=all&w=960 Chilwell is running at full speed.

I'm not Southgates biggest fan but he's screwed either way, if he starts Mount and we don't win the Euros, he should've started Grealish instead etc. damned either way. We have incredible choices in midfielder/attack though, I think Foden/Grealish/Mount/Kane all have to start no idea where that lea...

As bad as the decision was, it's another goal resulting from c*cking about at the back with the ball instead of getting it up the field.

The only pub I always go back to is the Vine Inn which is behind the Wetherspoons pub called the Waterhouse, off St. Peter’s square. Highly recommend the Vine. Never had a pint less than 7/10 for condition. Proper beer pub. If you're going in The Vine it would be rude not to go in the City Arms nex...

Just as happened during that glorious half season - it only took one international to lift a team of competent but organised top flight players into a genuine force.
