Kid in the Riot

Yes Manning was 100% Tins appointment, and as you say he was clearly instrumental in Pearson's removal too.

Depends if he buys you a coffee, or not?

I don't think Tommy Conway, Rob Atkinson or Alex Scott, to name but three, would.

Can anyone spot the Man City fan on this thread?

Blimey, this seems incredibly harsh. I think you're looking for something that just isn't there.

Ah, of course.

@Silvio Dante did you do these for all of Nige's pressers? I can't recall.

Now we're talking! I was there in 2010 in a little square with several hundred locals crammed around a 32 inch TV watching the world cup final - partied late into the night! Granada is another cracker for its gratis tapa and flamenco caverns

Over-rated. Been several times and never had a particularly good experience. Much better cities to visit in Spain such as Sevilla, Valencia, Madrid, San Sebastian.

Meanwhile Inter secure the scudetto in this evenings Milan derby. Amazing Banksy inspired tifo from Milan though...

I like rugby too, though at this point it's probably even more data driven than football. Data and AI will have a big impact on football going forward. I'd imagine AI will determine a teams tactics, and they'll be less need for coaches as AI formulates bespoke training sessions that best suits players' fitness and can be tailored dependent on who their next opponent is. I expect it's already being used or trialled at some of the bigger clubs.

Apparently he was offered a severence payment initially (post Leeds away) thought to be six months pay. But he turned it down knowing when sacked he'd get an extra month or twos pay on top of that.

Also, is it true that Ben's mum is called Tracey, or has someone been on the wind-up?

Yes, Acey will be leaving

Zac Bell and Ben Acey playing for Taunton last week. Another two that I doubt will make it in the pro game, certainly not Bell.
