War is horrific full stop. What the Japs and allies did to each other was truly horrendous and I won't criticise anyone for a decision that had to be made. I'm just thankful that I'll never have to make that sort of decision.

After that performance they'll be needing a decent defence starting at the back.

£100m+ for Pope and Tarks then

Nixon has got a story about us in the paper tomorrow.

Oooohhh the suspense is killing.

And???

Firthy

Cheers Ralph. I managed 6 points so looks promising.

Firthy

Ralph can we see the answers for those who had a go but didn't post.

Probably about a bid we've put in that's too low.

Firthy

Scraped another win

Happy where i've finished after being in the bottom 3 for most of the season, seems I've done a Burnley after lockdown.

Cheers Ralph and Spot a great competition again.

More a case of "Alas poor Yorrick"

No sympathy for United. Was a stupid deal. Fair do’s to Sanchez for taking the cut to get first team football. Such a tragedy, having to settle for £9m so you can play the game you love. Yes, it is said with a hint of sarcasm. It's not aimed at you NewClaret, just the ridiculous amounts of money in...

Tottenham and Southampton have agreed deals for Hojbjerg and Walker-Peters.

This should rule Southampton out of any race which may be going on to sign Matty Cash

That won't affect us, we aren't after Cash unless it's the £ type.

Lancslive saying we have not approached Forrest for Cash.

Another false rumour doing the rounds by the sounds of it

We've probably not approached any clubs about signing any players. They're all false rumours.

Firthy

Have to feel sorry for Dazzler and Oldclaret scoring 6 and losing, worse than a kick in the proverbial. At least my defence is finally coming good so I didn't suffer the same fate. Luck of the draw comes to mind

Palace have bid for Eze today with the first one starting at 12m.

Hope this isn't going to become a thread about other clubs putting bids in for every player we've been linked with or been mentioned on here by someone who thinks we should go for them.

Our friend Nixon suggesting Southampton are in for Matty Cash

That's us out then. Time to move on and prioritise the 3 positions we really need to fill. CB, midfield and right wing.

Firthy

Wow £50 million rumoured.Our transfer kitty will be emptied PDQ by the demands made for players we may want to sign if Nick leaves for that fee We should hold out for more-deal done for £70million plus add ons. :lol: :lol: :lol: We shouldn't be selling but if we have to then £70m in todays market. ...

Not picking on smaller clubs, the ones you mention aren’t in the Football League. Totally different rules in the Premier League but the simple fact is that Sheffield Wednesday have blatantly broken the rules. Fair point but it's ridiculous that Premier and Football leagues have different rules. It ...

Firthy

The whole thing is a joke. Why pick on the smaller clubs when the likes of City, United, Chelsea and Liverpool can get away with spending as much as they want because the league are scared of them.

Apparently we've bid 15m for Matty Cash at Forest. Forest want nearer 20m. From a journalist on Twitter.

Not sure we'll be splashing that much cash

Firthy

Had this several times. Sometimes it clears but a couple of times I'ver had to message admin to clear it. Not a clue why it happens.

Global hasn't yet reached the Isle of Man. It's been damp, cold and miserable here for weeks

That's one result you can work out Spot

Surely that's at least a yellow card and possible points deduction

Spot and I, (like the grammatical nuance?) have rechecked everything. Thank you for checking.

There is no excuse for this. ALL results are going to be checked!

Thank you for checking

Cheers Ralph. Maybe Spots trip to the vet had more affect than you realised. Anyway I owed Goobs after he beat me in the semis.

I've just checked and believe that I should have won 5-4 rather than drawing 5-5.

Just read this so I thought I'd check my game and I think I should have won 3-2. Can you please check it for me Ralph to show I'm not going crazy

As cheesed off as I am with VAR today I'm just glad that it's not a game where we need points to stay up. I'd hate being a Bournemouth fan today

3-1 Southampton, so a goal will lift us into 9th above the Blades.

Not when it's disallowed for some obscure reason.

What a ******* joke. VAR is worse than any of the refs.

Two good goals from them but only thanks to mistakes by Wood and Long. We definitely need some more depth in the squad.

We need a lot more than 4 signings.

Yes we do but we won't get them and that's the problem and why the media is full of rumours about SD leaving.
