Edwards or Benson? Benson every time for me. He gets folk out of their seats.

Don't trust either of them enough defensively to start a PL game. Both decent impact sub options when chasing. Looks like that's how SP sees Edwards. Not sure he has any faith in Benson given he's playing with the U21s.

Yes, they have 2 staircases. We only had one. Now we only have one, but the location of toilets and concessions have been thought out well. Now we don’t have queues to purchase beer right at the bottom of the only access to and from the stand. To purchase beer you have to go into the “fanzone/carpa...

Last season Haffners pies were served out of a hatch in the FanZone with optional peas and gravy. Really good set-up and offer, with minimal queues.

The biggest potential crowd crush incident at Turf Moor has been removed. The CFS concourse was crazy at times last season.

I would understand the argument for showing loyalty to an 'ever present' in the promotion season but whilst Koleosho was more than bit part, he wasn't a vital cog. He's still v young and has potential but we can't afford to be sentimental if we are to survive in the Prem. Edwards featured on a more ...

I’m not sure how we can draw this conclusion…

It's about opinions and mine, based on the Tresor I saw play for Genk, is that he is a more rounded player than the 4 you stuck up. It's fine if you disagree.

Tresor would need to get on the bench ahead of Koleosho, JBL, Tchaouna and Edwards. Which of those 4 you dropping?

A 100% physically and mentally fit Tresor gets in ahead of all of those players.

Not sure snobbish is right. Here are a few things for me which makes it lose all appeal.

Slot on the disturbance during the silence for Jota: "I don't think this was planned or this was the idea of the fan who made some noise, maybe he wasn't aware it was the minute of silence.

There's no particular reason to think it's going to be not proven. Apart from the ridiculous length of time involved. A very generous interpretation of events, to the FA at least, might be that they feel there is insufficient evidence to find Osmajic guilty but are at least making him sweat on it.

As a matter of interest .... why are they doing/considering this in the first place? It's a very good question.

So I don’t think it is wrong for Parker to strengthen. But as you rightly say a balance has to be had, and we have it, with Esteve, Edwards, Cullen and Anthony (plus possibly Hannibal) likely to be starters. Agree and think 4/5 starters represents reasonable continuity when you bear in mind that 3 ...

Also pleased that we have spent our money relatively early in the window. Maximises our chances of getting the team to gel before we're behind the 8 ball. May be an opportunity to do some loan business later in the window when we've cleared out some of the fringe players.

It's what happens when things change. For those in the cricket field stand who walk from town, it will be a lot easier not having to walk round the ground. For others who walk down the lane by the cricket ground, for those games where it's closed for home fans it will make life difficult, some win,...

I don't understand why this has to be shrouded in secrecy and, seemingly, that includes gagging the FAB on what they can and can't say. Either that or the FAB is choosing not to share what is happening, which feels unlikely. All of us have a vested interest in this as it will change the matchday atm...

A corner stand to attach the CF and Longside in some manner would really improve the atmosphere I think if it could be boxed in effectively. I’m sure the more likely scenario is that whatever such a stand could be it would predominantly focus on corporates. I like the idea of filling in corners gen...

But moving the tunnel for safety concerns makes no sense if they are mirroring the fans across too - the same group of fans will be by the tunnel just on the other side.

He’s used this formation a lot before I’m led to believe. We looked dangerous on the counter at Southampton in the cup when he did this too. The thing is with this. We potentially lose Edwards and Anthony in the starting 11. Not sure we do in a 5-2-3. Personally, I see Anthony as a starter in that ...

To put it in some context Emma has been beaten by the current world number 1 and top women’s seed for Wimbledon.
Sabalenka was 2/7 to win tonight.
Emma gave it a go and wasn’t beaten 6-0, 6-0.

Agreed and, arguably, it was closer than the very creditable 7-6, 6-4 scoreline suggests. Progress.

Draper well beaten by Cilic. I like how he spoke about the defeat. Bodes well for his continuing development.

He has decided to run his contract down to give him the best possible deal, as a chunk of what would be the transfer fee is reinvested in a signing-on fee and/or wages. I have no problem with this and I am surprised more players don't do it. Having made that decision, I don't think it's unreasonable...

Or perhaps Man City simply didn't trigger it because they thought he's not good enough for them, compared to what they've already got. Yeah, that may very well be the case but my point was more about the economics of the situation. If you could buy something for £20m and instantly sell it for £30m,...

Interesting to note that City did not trigger Liam Delap's buy back clause (reportedly at £20m), presumably knowing Ipswich would receive more under his release clause (reportedly at £30m). It may give us a read across on the Trafford situation.

We're going to need to take some risks to stay up. There's surely no doubting the quality of Joe Gomez so the gamble is on his fitness/availability.

49ers group, who own Leeds, recently sold about 5% of the shares in the NFL team for about $8bn. Even if you include buying Rangers there's plenty left over.

I think the valuation might have been $8.5bn but they'll have only got a "measly" €0.5bn for their 6%.

It was like watching us beat Liverpool in the PL but Spurs don't have the excuse of a gulf in resources. I've never seen so little endeavour from a winning team in a cup final. Sure, call Man U out for not being good enough but, in terms of it being a spectacle, at least they tried.

I've pubbed all my adult life (and some of my pubescent life) and I like it, nearly as much as I like table service. I can understand why those who used the full length of the bar to queue jump are a little miffed though.
