I suggest the important point is whether he has accepted. Don't believe for one moment that this would have happened if there was any mileage in the FA "investigation" of his being "bullied". More signs to me that nothing is going to happen and that the club already know where they stand with the FA. Hope I'm not proved wrong.

It’ll happen. It cements the votes for him around the world. And in honesty it won’t make much difference to 48 teams. It will still be groups of 4, it will revert to the top 2 from each group qualifying, same amount of knockout games as this year. In an era of multiple countries hosting the logistics are better set for it. I thought 32 games was the sweet spot but the genie is out of the bottle, so meh.

Funny that you found a bit of wood, that if you look closely, looks sort of like a dog. Anyway, what are you going to use the scroll saw to turn it into? 🙂 Looks lovely.

I applaud Infantino's plan to bring the world together in such difficult times, so that all nations can feel the love and joy of FIFA's festival of football. With the tournament split across multiple hosts, let a host continent host all nations! Qualification means that some countries lose out, and that's what we don't want. Remember: The more rounds, the funnier it is to watch Scotland go out in the first one.

Load of old pony

Yup. Lots of twists and turns to come. Henderson's forearm smash, with his cast, on Messi as he races down the byline, will be a shock, but is he the nation's hero or a villain? Especially after Infantino suspends the punishment for a decade.

Home QF and win over local rivals - nice.

Sooner this guy goes the better, only after more $$$ https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cj9gm31jwg8o

Man City aren't complaining as they already know no points deduction or fine. Statute time will run out for City.

Toney will earn his place when comes on at 119 mins in the final. Then wins us World Cup by showing Mbappe how to execute a stutter pen.

Couldn't handle the directness of a German colleague. The Dutch are the same. Source: anecdotal at my work place!

Because it's bollocks clearly. He wasn't being bullied.

He's a grown adult. I still don't agree that he was some wide eyed innocent just following orders.

Not necessarily. The bloke needs a job and it’s not like he’s going to find himself in the same situation again. Clearly we’ve come to some agreement which is acceptable to both parties, which is good news, particularly for a young man at the start of his career who won’t be out of a job.

Craig Hope will dig right into this one next week

Someone should check the training ground periphery for Daily Mail reporters.

Gives him a chance to work on his 'blending in' skills. YHGTI

Disc

Futkeu for the Ross Stewart replacement or I would tempt Cardiff with a bid for Salech.

https://www.dailymail.com/sport/football/article-15971939/Now-Southampton-offer-Spygate-intern-23-permanent-role-club-insisted-acting-orders-above.html? Saints have apparently offered Will Salt a permanent job. Surely he wouldnt accept it if the bullying rumours were true 🙄

Rumour has it we are trying to get that cable in to replace Madueke as it contributed far more in the first half

What do we know about this guy?

Maybe a message to the FA in their ongoing Tonda investigation, if he had been bullied why would sign a permanent contract with us?

Bulge

Henderson has had some minutes. Because he is an experienced leader and inspiration, and not at all because Tuchel was pre-empting your post and giving minutes to save face. 🙂 Mainoo now waits in the wings for that role. Chalobah was a late call up, so wouldn't have been there otherwise (could have brought over a full back, but never TAA). No idea what level Toney is now at. Cover for Kane and Watkins anyway.
