No PP this season, which probably means a severe cut in the playing budget. They also have to repay £35m to the previous owner by August this year.

It will be interesting to see who he picks at RWB for the Hull game. I see Wilson and Tanner complementing each other. Wilson is a better crosser, but George a better tackler who has some championship experience. My hunch is he’ll start with Tanner at Hull, but over the season I can see them interchanging on a regular basis. One thing is for sure, Both are exciting prospects.

Really? You’ll be telling us next you don’t rate Scottish football.

Good work out. Kane Wilson, George Tanner and Cam Pring in particular impressed.

No Kalas? Injured?

I would imagine he’ll pick two teams with the changeover at half time.

Memories of the 4-3 game way back in the early 70s, which was a first home game of the season.

More than a passing resemblance to,Horrible Harris out of Porridge

The Crown v Joey Barton is the fixture I’m looking forward to most.

Southgate subs have changed the game.

Excellent co commentary from Graham Le Saux. Telling it as it is.

That’s schoolboy defending.

Is there a shred of evidence that Coventry are interested in Palmer, or is this a clutching at straws thread?

England v Wales is like us v the Gas. On player ability we should beat them comfortably, but it rarely works out like that.

Wales beat Austria to get to this game.

Let’s hope so.

I meant the quickly taken free kick.

Controversial start.

Mark my words the dirty ground stealers will at some stage try and piggy back themselves on the development of the Rec.

We seem to have woken up.

Preening referee gets himself into the game.

Seemed to me those were adult boos. Didn’t have the shrill tone you hear from children

With the WC in mind, I actually think the better preparation would have been to give the senior players the entire summer off.

Disjointed thus far from England
