Would never happen, he's not a long term supporter or associate of the club nor does he live in the area other than for work

Yeah I agree, a couple of defeats next week would see real pressure on him. Lansdown may hold off until the World Cup to give himself more time to decide but the thought will be in his head now

Was it?! Well that's annoying!

Wasn't even on the red button last night, sign of the times with cost of living also coupled with poor form o think.

Yeah was a strange way to get sacked to say the least! I would argue your point on subsequent managers though Sven did a decent job (5-1 in Germany) following Keegans trainwreck and the 2004 Euro's in Portugal where if Portugal hadn't knobbled Rooney early I still think we would have won the whole thing. It all went to shit after that for over a decade once the Wag culture and press hounding went into overdrive.

Reckon Scott Parker will be nailed on for that one

Shame I was hoping they would stick with him until we played them

And got roughed up in the car park afterwards

Why would any governing body sanction this fight? Reputationally its a disaster for them isn't it? The Luxembourg route was used for Haye Chisora due to disciplinary reasons following the brawl in Munich which is a lot more justifiable than this particular event at the moment. The more likely route is that Matchroom win their legal discussions with BBBoC or hold it as an exhibition fight instead (in name only obviously). When the news broke yesterday my initial thoughts were Benn wouldn't be the sort to do that but when you think about how sudden his improvement has been over the last few years it does raise a lot of suspicion, particularly when you look at the masking capabilities it has for steroid use. I hope Eddie see's sense and pulls the fight as it isn't worth whatever money is on the line as the measures he's going to have to take will be damaging to Matchroom, he's done a lot of good for British boxing over the last decade but this would stink and would always be held against him. If the DAZN move was going better for him and AJ was still on top I think his judgement would be better and not so financially driven, maybe because he hasn't failed a UKAD test it opens up a lot of legal liabilities for them if the fight doesn't happen as CEJr could sue them directly so he has to show mitigation measures to ensure he isn't liable?

Came from Boston who at the time were League Two and we were League One

Matty Taylor came from a local club with a history of non-league didn't he? Bolasie came from League Two although arguably he never really made it with us before going on to much better things

My guess is that his Mrs was taking them and its got into his system somehow, both sides have confirmed it was a trace finding so could have been cross contamination rather than him taking it directly. All other samples have been clear as well. As for discussing with Eubank having a say I can only assume Conor wanted to explain how it happened with him which if my theory is close then it would be a reasonable conversation to have with someone....maybe Eubank negotiated a bit of leeway in the rehydration clause as a result?

Yeah, it was odd because I saw the complaints but my feed was fine.

I usually get this problem ( if the game is actually even available on Virgin) but surprisingly it was OK last time

A fair point, still only gets as far as the bench though. Trouble with Southgate is he can't get the best out of Foden or Grealish so it wouldn't matter if Maddison was there or not

Agree he is a great player but of the current England squad who's place would he take?

It's 500k up front that wouldn't have been allowed in this years accounts, not earth shattering but would help any immediate cash flow / FFP issues I suppose

Would think Cardiff may be interested

What other options are available?

Thank you for your valued input

As its International week just to gauge everyone's positivity do you think Next time we leave the Championship it will be up or down?

Your almost certainly right but if something doesn't change we'll be coming home very early from the World Cup

Feels like like the right time at the wrong time unfortunately, if Germany beat us on Monday then the FA have a decision to make especially with Pochettino and Tuchel available

Personally wouldn't mind if they got rid of them in all rounds, much prefer it to be settled on the day. I don't think I've ever seen a penalty shoot out at Ashton Gate so may increase the chances of that also.
