PHILINFRANCE

So did Bristol City (nearly ?).

Oh, I agree entirely, but what I just cannot understand is how SKY continued to employ JC after what, by any measure, was a disgusting incident - I appreciate the two are not connected and, of course, SKY have financial implications to consider.

Was that Phil Jones with a disbelieveing look of shock?

Frankly, I am not particularly keen on either of them, but he does have a point. 'You employ a man who spat at a girl from his car!': Matt Le Tissier reveals he questioned why Jamie Carragher can still work for Sky Sports when he was sacked to save their 'reputation' after his Covid rants.

He must be making enough from his nonsensical Proteon site.

I think we do most seasons, all three promoted teams in fact; we tend to play them away as well ?.

No, that would be Rostock.

Weren’t Man Utd fans (and players) doing something similar before Aguero’s last minute heroics against QPR?

So, we meet again, says Wayne Rooney to Jamie Vardy.

A valid and very astute post.

Or, as it is also known, the vinegar strokes. I wonder if it will leave a sour taste.

And there is also our favourite doors/wheels prospect to consider.

Indeed, wait and see. Justice moves in mysterious ways....

Further to my earlier post, this gives me even more reason to believe that JB's legal case is destined to 'go away'. https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/61877624 I would suggest that a player signing for his former manager would be unlikely to do so if he feared his former manager was unlikely to be there at the start of training/for the season/forever.

I'm not sure why there seems to be all this speculation about a possible new Wales manager/coach. The present incumbent appears to be doing quite well.

I have posted previously that I see the case being dropped (if for no better reason than Mrs B has claimed she wasn't actually assaulted, she is pregnant again and there are other children involved in what would be a 'messy' trial), and I suspect that another adjournment would most likely be the final straw.

I know who you mean, his name is on the tip of my tongue. Wait, wait, No, Sorry, I've lost it ?.

This one appears to have gone quiet, and I wonder if it has died a death. A couple of weeks ago now, but there was some talk over here of him signing for Valenciennes to join his old goalkeeping coach, Jérémie Janot. As ever, time will tell, but with pre-season having started yesterday it is looking less likely.

I believe Herr Schmidt, Chief Gunner und Spezialist in targetting schools and hospitals claimed something similar at Nuremberg many years ago.

Judging from the NYT article linked, I would suggest it was probably on or about 15 May 1983. I leave you to research from which match they were returning, although I doubt it was Hartlepool ?. Please don't tell me it was Hartlepool....

Good advice, and, presumably (hopefully), heeded by players and, those with good/efficient agents insist that such cover is provided by the Club with the relevant premiums paid by the Club.

You mean, like Sam Pearson? Seriously, Han-Noah has become a sort of cult player; because he is 'cool' as you say, but also because of that haircut ?. Personally, I like him, both as a player and because of his personality/haircut, and whilst, of course, he still has lots to learn, I hope he stays here long enough to prove himself.

I imagine the same might be said for the people sitting next to you ?.

The attempted Cruyff turn?

That Wolves game was pivotal, wasn’t it. Not just the result, but certain aspects of the performance.
