I've got about a fiver in my pennies jar

I'd rather we played a team from another continental city with whom we're associated...say, Bordeaux? Hanover?

Wonder if he can beat the recent record of Frank-Lampard's-Chelsea - 6 out of 6?

Weren't all our Hummel kit designs bespoke? Look at the grey/orange third kit (which I thought was great)

It's disappointing that we couldn't build a better relationship with Hummel, some of their kits were nice, and they've done some great kits for other teams. Mind you, some horrors, too (look at Southampton's away kit...actually, don't, it's vile)

Well, it was an unfortunate comment, and could be misinterpreted, but if it was said live, people sometimes say the wrong thing. "A quiet word" seems a reasonable approach. Has anyone asked the player what he thinks of it?

I'd forgotten all about Swindle. Didn't realise, or care, that Morris was there.

"Was" is the operative word here, the rest of the world has caught up, and those gains are no longer available. Immense tactical fluidity is now where it's at. But, you are right, he was well ahead of his time back in the day. However, Allardyce's teams have always been tough to beat, not something that could be levelled at the current bunch. But I would suggest it's too late. I'm torn as to whether I'd prefer Leeds or Everton to come down. Certainly, Everton would be funnier...

Absolutely. Adult normal ticket, I will take £25 DM follows

I'm feeling pretty ropey so doesn't look like I'll be able to make tomorrow's game, which I'm gutted about ? Anyway, I have ticket available, just the one, Dolman E31, nice and in the middle. Anyone interested? (it's an e-ticket so can just ping it over).

Congratulations to Alex, well deserved. WRT to Diallo, what a classless little s**t. You have to imagine that the relevant powers at Sunderland and ManUre weren't too impressed with that. If that had been one of our lads, you'd think both Tins and Nige would tear him a new one.

I'm a little surprised by Vyner to Brentford talk, but he's been excellent this season. A bit like Reid a few years back, a player reborn, that we'd happily have sold for under £500k at the start of the season

Bristol City vs Bristol Rovers?

There's huge social value associated with infrastructure investment - local jobs in construction, supply chain, hospitality (workers have to live/eat/socialise somewhere), wider multiplier value from increased spending in the local area, etc etc

Councils can invest in social infrastructure. It's their money, eg pension pots. All sorts of things are funded by LA funding. If the football club have to pay the Council a return, or it creates local jobs, etc etc. It'd be a really interesting business case.

Most of Dave Smith's crosses ended up catching a bus outside the ground. Alan Walsh, on the other hand, could land a cross on a penny. BTW, to whom are these crosses going? Our big number 9...oh...

On the beach and protecting himself ahead of a move?

Where's the tents? In all seriousness, why don't they just redevelop the Mem? It's in their heartland, FFS

Or finding newts, bats, badgers, Japanese Knotweed, archaeological finds, etc. ?

What if the inbreds move into the houses?

Likewise, I was due to star in the Tour de France for Jumbo Visma, but, you know

You in the business, Eddie?

Do they have planning for resi? It's not a given.

I've retired from my job as a gigolo
