Olympic final is 9th August
Championship season starts 10th but more than likely there’ll be a game on the Friday night

And pre season

I think I read the tournament over laps the start of the season, or close to it... We need him pre season to be ready for the first game, stuff the Olympics, football shouldn't be in it anyway.

Who turned on Trafford before a ball was kicked? The criticism started when it was clear he wasn’t up to the level

On matchdayday thread for city game?
After one of the friendlies?
It was certainly very early on, but he wasn't the only one our "fans" went after

Lampard had Joe Edwards, Paul Clement, Ashley Cole and Chris Jones with him at Everton. Pace quite a humble person - that’s an interesting thought. Met him a few times and found him to be a very humble person, but I just want him to pick the right man, if that means binning Bellamy off, so be it.

Stop looking for a BIG name and appoint someone who can do the job.

He's had some stick on here, but I think Bellamy would be just fine.

Sorry, but no he wouldnt
Lampard the best so far
Even parker would be better than Bellamy.... Now is not the time to experiment

You can’t think Trafford should have come out and tried to claim the ball at home the Luton the literal definition of erratic, what about coming and and being in no man’s land for Fulham’s second at home?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Pace hasn’t sounded out Southgate should he decide to step down. A long shot I know but I get the impression that Pace is a little bit more savvy than people give him credit for.

I like Pace, but he can be as savvy as he wants, Southgate would not come to burnley, sorry.

1. They stayed and clapped their fans off
2. We are worse than Leeds fans - never call their fans because look on here and we are 1000x worse. We have 5-10 posters who knows their stuff. The rest don't have a clue.
3. Lose not Loose.

Who stayed to clap their fans off?

Any business that treats its customers as a problem, is a business likely to be in trouble.

I’m a little underwhelmed by this player and because I would like to see a complete re-set, I wouldn’t be disappointed if he didn’t play for us again.

Kompany did and a million before him around the world

There's a lot of different rules around football, so that's why I asked
Kompany got permission, with just compo to sort out, we've got a list of 6? No guarantee any of them get the job, so why would WBA agree?

I imagine that’s how we came across him given there will be a lot of data analysis as part of the process.

Yes Blake played wide left quite a lot, why does it have to be similar?
I'd pick him over any of the wingers we've got because he's got quality end product

Because you're comparing them?

Blake was a number 10, an excellent one, none of those you've mentioned are

You'll be surprised....we paid £3 million I think we'd sell for £10-15 million

15 million is an awful lot to pay for someone who has still to recover from a serious injury
Perhaps in Jan if he proves his fitness and form.

Never had any inside information before and never consequently posted any.

The salient point being that we have spunked a shedload on someone who no one has any idea wether he is good enough or not and isn’t saleable at anywhere near what we have just paid.

They're able to purchase 2 tickets per away game and the Membership Scheme is allocated a maximum of 5% of the away allocation but this is dependent on what that allocation is.

I’m also very much in the ‘manager should pick his team’ camp. BUT… Kompany has brought 32 players in or something.
