Oh no, why dont they have the new interviewer?

There's no harm in it, Cyril, just an attempt at keeping the fans "connected".

Touched a nerve. The women are more successful than the men, despite the underfunding, despite the men’s game dominating, despite the older generation progressing their misogynistic attitudes onto them. Why make the very comparison which most champions of the women's game (on here at least) are eag...

It’s problematic, but all the main football news and content remains on X. If that’s where most fans are still going to engage with football, it’s not hard to understand why the club have chosen to partner with them to increase exposure. There’s no bigger demonstration of the quandary than The Athl...

Earps made herself unavailable.

Hampton has done OK.
Is she any better or worse than Earps?
The thing with Earps was that she appeared to have too much belief in her own bullshit.

So it's the idea of a triangle you found too complicated? I'm starting to understand why English football was so far behind for so many years. If somebody mentioned a triangle they got told they were making a simple game too difficult! Thank God for the influx of foreign coaches. Nothing new with t...

The aggro is good so long as it doesn't get physical imo. Shows how competitive the players are. Wouldn't go as far as half wanting India to level it. I've got Oval tickets, would like us to be still at least one up to make it a bit less anxious.. Yes, it would be very tense, but a brilliant finale...

boatshed bill

This is a brilliant test series.
Plenty of aggro between the teams too.
I almost want India to win the next test top take it to a 5th test decider.

I saw that, but where and how did it happen?

It's an odd one.

Players often pick up injuries in training, it's not uncommon.

All hypothetical, but: if the Preston player who apparently went into our changing room to console Hannibal were to explain the reason for his actions there's a probable witness.

Until we go behind. Something we didn’t experience much last season. Then we will need Plan B, i.e. a more creative goalscoring threat than Hannibal. There is room in the squad for both (plus Ramsey etc). I don’t think we need further additions at 10.

I’d be p*ssed if I was an Espanyol fan and any of those players (bar Ekdal at a push) turned up. They’ve hardly shown much to suggest they’re going to be pulling up any trees in La Liga. It wouldn’t exactly get the new partnership off to the best start for it to appear that they’ve become our dumpi...

If you think things are normal fair enough I politely disagree. Have a good day.

It was more aimed towards research on susceptibility. It might be a novel idea to some but more focused on actually avoiding problems instead of dealing with them.

I'd guess we try to get him regular football on loan to aid his rehabilitation.

I'm not negative towards Kyle myself, but I feel like year after year I've given him support and benefit of the doubt and sadly - in my opinion he's a mid-Championship player. He's had enough support and time to try and become more than that. We need better. So what do you do? I hope you would supp...

So, that is an honest comment, it doesn't denegrate Foster or Barnes to say that they alone would not be enough up front for a PL season.
An injury to either, were they our only options, would be a disaster.

boatshed bill

Support our players, it's a priority.
Admittedly a bunch of keyboard-happy "fans" don't define a player's career, but how about showing a positive/supportive attitude towards LF and all our players.

I keep seeing people suggest these kinds of deals, but how often do you see football transfers where players move in opposite directions as part of the same deal.

Always better off with the money. Spend it on what the manager really wants.

I wouldn't say you are ignorant.
EH would have tried to sign JT last season, not sure why it didn't happen.

If you’d watched Trafford in the VK relegation season, you wouldn’t go anywhere near him. Chucked under the bus in the first game, and never really recovered. Turns out, he’s Englands next No 1. Personally i didn't think he was anywhere near as bad as you are making him out to have been. and neithe...

Brownhill's not good enough so we don't need to worry about losing him. Trafford and Egan-Riley, although excellent, are replaceable. So that's just Estève.

I don't think it works that way, any individual can be replaced, the hard part is recreating the unit.

Parker seems to be being backed a lot more than Dyche was. He had to scrap around for free transfers and cheapies mainly.

As I recall it, Dyche inherited a decent squad when he took over from Howe.

At what point did Taunzebe get injured? Maybe their downturn in form had something to do with his absence

I think it points to their 2nd choice goalkeeper being worse than Muric and little else. But quite what all this has to do with the current transfer window is beyond me.

If he keeps us up then he's ahead of VK but will still be some way off what Dyche achieved. This is all a bit daft, really. Basing one possible survival at his first attempt against the known achievements of a previous (very successful) manager. Sometimes it's better to see how things unfold over a...

I've heard rumblings of a season long loan with no option for a young Manchester based forward. In and around the first team, not a regular starter.

"Manchester based".
We've had bids turned down by Salford for a young player who is highly rated. Would this be the player in question?

boatshed bill

It beggars belief that some folk don’t think this is a good signing. Let’s not get above ourselves here. He has played at the very top level for years and maybe he just missed being in the UK last season and the chance to come back to the North West and play fits perfectly with him. Great signing. ...

Would you immediately replace Roberts with Walker? Or would you start next season with Roberts and make Walker earn his starting place? It's a good question. If I were manager I would watch their relative performances in preseason training and friendlies before making that decision. But there is al...

Great so far, but probably 10 need to be either sold or loaned out.
And I'd say the defensive midfield needs an upgrade or two.

I was totally unaware until tonight that Walker had only made his league debut for Sheffield United in the final two games of that season and then the play-offs.

This is the second this summer that’s come out of the blue.

Didn't they have a really good left back too, at that time?

Unforced errors will do Raducanu.

It’s more of a case of having a over crowded training ground, they go to Portugal for a week in a week or 2s time, you’d imagine Parker will want as many players he doesn’t want out the door by then No, I think he'll leave some behind. And I hope our transfer chaps will be looking for suitable club...
