Port Said Red

Presumably even they have to have an off season of the frivolity. Any signings yet?

Not strictly FFP related but I saw this Private Eye piece about Bournemouth and thought it might be of interest.

Monza win the first leg 2-1. If the away goal rule is in play then Pisa's 93 minute goal might be very useful. Nagy played the whole game.

Enjoy Ska.

If we sell Kalas now we have signed Kal, does that mean we have saved 40% like for like?

My first thought on seeing that list of positions played too. I am however incredibly worried about this signing. Who knew that all it took to unite this board in unprecedented positivity was the signing of a 30 year old Scot from Luton Town, the worry is that when we agree collectively we don't have a great record on Managers or players.

@Davefevs clearly enjoys his sideline, I would always be wary about turning something you love into your daily grind though.

Never mind all that, how tall is he?

Yes. Not sure where @Never to the dark side got those odds. This is Skybets spread. https://m.skybet.com/football/sky-bet-championship/event/29301891 Also not sure how you can give odds before the play off final is completed.

My wife and I were laughing at the local news because they appeared to have picked the shortest reporter they could find to interview Stephen Merchant. The angle she was having to look up at to talk to him made her look like a toddler in comparison.

That looks like a bookies opening spread before any bets are placed. It looks to be based purely on league position, although what on earth they have seen in Hull City to place them in the top 10 is anybody's guess.

'Ark at the City fans on here demeaning a European Trophy win. ? They sound like the Gasheads who compare their results to ours in the Championship.

Tammy too honest just now, or should referee have given something anyway? There is no reward for trying to stay on your feet is there?

Quiet game for him so far apart from being cynically brought down when looking to break. Smalling looks to be in great form for Roma. Shame about Mkhitaryan going off early he's such a lovely player. Strangely underused by Mourinho at Man Utd but very much in favour in Roma.

Alternatively if LJ was pictured rescuing a bag of kittens from the canal, there would be those on here who would say that the kittens were only there because he threw them in.

There is also an element of man management to this. He would probably have been worried about how the players would react if he were to say, "well I am doing my best with this lot, but they aren't the players I would have chosen to sign". I am sure Mr Wedlock would have been to quick use that as a further stick to beat him with.

I was about to quote Half Man Half Biscuit from National Shite Day. " walked out onto the concourse and noticed the giant screen seemed to have been tampered with Probably by a junior employee Disgruntled commuters were being regaled with some dismal TVM Involving a tug-of-love custody battle Stockard Channing held sway"

Yes. Anyone who saw LJ's reaction to the fans singing "sign him up" when the players were parading in front of the Atyeo last match of the season, would all have their doubts as to who's signing he really was.

Pisa have reached the two legged play off finals to get out of Serie B, they got through the semi final even though the tie finished 1-1 based on their higher league position which seems a bit odd. Adam has played 29 of their 38 games and played in both of the recent games. The first leg is on the 26th May away to Monza, the 2nd leg is on the 29th.

Still a long way behind Peter Hargreaves though, one could presumably estimate how much his support for sport in Bristol has cost him over the years.
