Sorry for sounding like such a technophobe, but how are these designed? Is there a website or app or is it an AI thing?

I can think of a number of photos I have that I'd love to see in this form!

fidelcastro

Maybe if all those having a go on here about the allocation actually emailed the club then something might change. There's sod all moaning on this forum is going to do but a flood of emails might persuade the decision maker to pick up the phone to Tottenham and ask for the additional amount, if ava...

Very intersting but surely that's the FA Youth Cup not the reserves.

Name of the competition is at the top of the programme.

Micky Phelan didn't start out as a goalkeeper, did he?

Would suggest that the American owners, despite all their protestations, aren’t hugely engaged with the fanbase.

Something for the newly formed fan groups to discuss with the club, perhaps?

Playing it safe again, Going for a lower allocation for the first game of the season
Would have thought we could have sold 3000 for this one UTC

I'd have thought so too, but the Club know best, eh?

fidelcastro

Is our allocation for the Spurs game.

Very specific!

I really don’t like Musk, but (apart from that one ‘salute’ which probably wasn’t actually a Nazi salute) which of his actions are you using as evidence of him being a Nazi?

The commentator with a high pitched screeching voice when it looks like a goal might be scored

That doesn't narrow it down!

Terrible penalties.

Which one?

Simultaneously the best and worst penalty shootout I've ever seen!

Trafford has put a picture up in the gym which has the words 'On a mission' on the walls. I may be wrong but I wouldn't have thought that was a Portuguese gym.

Do we know if he's gone with the group?

Are you sure it doesn't say 'Ha'way the lads' ???

Who remembers Carl Smith?

He wasn't as good as his namesake Paul.

Was John Clayton our player or a loan signing ?

I remember him scoring (i think a free kick against Huddersfield) in a game and can't remember much else.

He was our player. Only three appearances for us in total though. Another one of Mullen's signings that always tended to be crocked!

fidelcastro

There was a lad whose surname was Pilkington, who came on as sub in one game under Cotterill (I think!). As soon as play re-started after the sub, the ref blew for full time.

I don't think he made another appearance.

Hi fidelcastro.....would be really interested in the route you are taking to get to Colombia. We are looking for cost efficient options.

Heathrow to Bogota, then internal flights to Cali and Medellin.

Didn't Phil Bird drop himself in it with a question he asked soon after been given the role. He was doing a lot of interviews at one time and then seemed to be quickly removed after a bit of controversy.

What was the question he asked?

Colombia, but not until September.

Marc Cucurella, (is the player) just in case you were wondering.

I wasn't. I was able to work it out by using google!

fidelcastro

Sorry to wade in, and certainly not looking for any conflict Fidel.... however I am not sure how honest you are being when you say you weren't sure which CHELSEA player was misspelled here..."Curricella" and reference to a feature (hair). Both my young son's got it so pretty sure you did. Be nice. ...

It's ex loan 'striker' David Jones. 6 foot 3 until a cross came into the box when he was 5 foot 6. And of course returned to the Turf playing centre half for Doncaster and promptly scored the winner

Where did you get that photo from, out of interest?

David Jones.

You are telling me there are football matters you are unsure about. There's an admission , coming from you.

Well, trying to decipher a player's name from it being badly spelt was a bit like solving a clue from my cryptic crossword.

Had it been a Man City or Arsenal player who got supposedly racially abused, would it have dragged on for 5 or more months before a decision was made

No. The media would have ensured a decision was reached long before now.

I see you still excel at having cheap shots though. Well done.

I notice that the England women's game against Wales is on TV tonight, at the same time as the Chelsea versus PSG game, in the Club World Cup.

The respective viewing figures should be interesting!

For want of a better description the recruitment team have make a royal horlick. Without labouring the point the importance of research. No they haven't.

Did it really recover or was it just temporarily suspended. He had surgery so it wasn't a band aid plaster job. When something goes like that it's never quite the same again.

Yep, because no player has ever recovered from a serious injury in the history of football, have they?

fidelcastro

Yeah he had a knee injury in December 2022, had surgery and went back to Villa. Was then loaned to Boro in the January window when he must have passed their medical and resumed playing in February 2023. So are you seriously suggesting we shouldn't have signed him based on those facts? What a terrif...
