Is it on tv?

I'd like to think we can get £25m+ for him, but yeah concede we might have to settle for £20m and add-ons. Also depends what he is worth to us in terms of promotion.

How much do you think he’s worth? I would probably take £20mil with some add ons and a sell on personally given his contract situation.

Good job we have Abbott. First innings lead of 32. Now, some serious batting is called for. Set them 350 tomorrow tea-time and it might bé interesting.

are these times confirmed? I can't find any info anywhere

He can do better than Leeds and we can do better than £20m.

Do we? He's not a starting CM and he won't sign a new deal?snap someone's arm of for £20-25M... Sales are needed and he's a huge pricetag for a squad player.

Select RENEW ALTERNATIVE SEAT. It actually says ALTERNATE

The Burnham Years - Will the Unions Give Him A Broom? thread. I thought it was traditional that @sadoldgit started these. But he's been taking a break from the lounge of late.

Oh gawd, we’re probably going to end up with a ‘the Burnham years’ thread aren’t we?

I'm worried that Starmer will say he's leaving the broom, then u turn, leaving the nation broomless, and unable to afford one as Burnham has spent all the money.

Are you trying to suggest that Starmer’s broom is not sweeping clean, leaving the grown ups in the room to be a serious government?

We start with Preston H last game of the season is Blackburn A

Before the by-election, Starmer was reported to have offered Burnham a choice cabinet post, should he win. That got declined, probably through fits of laughter. Lots of "I'm not going anywhere" But behind the scenes, Starmer has continued to phone round, asking for support. Based as much on protecting their careers and seeing the writing on the wall, rather than ideological issues, those people have been telling him it's time. So, Starmer is spending the weekend to have a think. His defiance might not make it to Tuesday, in a final u turn that sums up the indecisiveness that cost him.

Morocco played (and won if you believe some) about 4 months ago, can't but help. They have good players but when they come up against a really good side who've played a few games we'll see what happens, depends if they finish first or second in their group, I suspect that will depend on how many Brazil put past Scotland. If they're second in their group could be against whoever loses between Netherlands and Sweden in their match. Not an easy tie that.

Awww. I preferred the chalkboard over the tech used by the likes of Neville over on Sky. Simple message conveyed through a simple medium. Where they went wrong was overthinking how they could place the board in a studio setting. And settling on the idea of looking like a kitchen. I've only caught 2 snippets of Hayes' tactical insights. One on a double press and one of positioning for passing moves. LD is right that there's nothing new there. But, unless commentary and presenting has improved by miles since I last saw any, that would have been the most insightful bit of any of the programmes. They've never moved from "Most talented 11. Just put them on the pitch". She looks like a genius, compared to the dumplings around her. Bit of a shame to see the push back has led to a change. But more because they didn't dump the kitchen with it.

sted 2 hours ago If you have something to say, let it be said. If its something you don't want a wider audience catching, perhaps keep it to yourself. It's probably the least annoying new rule for me. ---------------------------------------------------------- The biggest problem with this is, in the next couple of days we are going to see the same situation, and the ref will not produce a red card. Also, there will be players weaponizing it to try and gain an advantage, when the rule was put in to presumably try and stop discreet abusive behaviour towards an opposing player. Almiron didn't look to be in a aggressive stance. It all looked fairly harmless, but its a new pot hole to avoid now.

A cautionary article about hoovering up too many supplements https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cd6e25lpwxzo I thought we had a thread on this. But I couldn't see it. So, I'm adding vitamins C and E to my intake. 🙂

How can I renew my season ticket but move it to a different seat ?Thank you.

What’s got missed in all the debate about the set is her actual pony analysis. I only saw the England one, as I mute her now, but that was tactics for dummies, yet you’ve got a load of “footy” type nods saying how insightful it was. Dear god, the full back knocks it back to the keeper, when they press the keeper, he plays into into a midfielder who knocks it to the full back who is now free. Fuck me, genius, I’ve watched Wessex League teams do this, let alone countless repeats of Baz to Downs then to full back under Lego. A lot of teams don’t even press the keeper in that scenario anyway. And she’s getting paid to spout this condescending pony, free from criticism because you can’t think she’s a pony merchant, it has to be a sexist thing. She’s the Lego head of the birds game, I would say if she was made of chocolate she’d eat herself, but I’d probably be accused of fat shaming.

Well Lehmann is a top quality overseas batter, just doesn't count as overseas. We have so many holes to patch 2 overseas players isn't anywhere near enough, plus I very much doubt that we have the money to plug all the holes even if it was permitted. Bowling looks weak as well, no-one is going to convince me that, as of yet,Baker is a test bowler,he's so erratic. I have never really understood the persistance with Middleton, Currie Weatherly and even Albert, he looks like a one day slogger. Organ is a waste of time apart from the odd showing once in a blue moon but I suppose at the end of the day it comes down to money. Anyway we need to start over next season in D2 and for me personally thé point of départ is a clean sweep of the coaching staff, all of them, top to bottom.

Sounds like you’re the mug hear pal. it’s football, not politics.

Much prefer the chalkboard, reminds me of Sharon down the ferret and firkin writing up the specials board for the week.

Three batting points when every other side is in double figures is pathetic. They’re so reliant on Lehmann that when he fails, it all fails. Gubbins at least seems to be on an uptick of form and Prest did better yesterday. And Sussex were missing their two frontline bowlers Robinson and Crocombe! So they got skittled by a fringe attack on a not-too bad deck. Great effort lads! But although the overseas isn’t as useless as Yusuf or Hampton, it’s astonishing that so-called cricket professionals couldn’t spot yet again that we needed a top quality overseas batsman to give our bowlers something to work with. Needs to be a total rebuild next year. Rasmus Ankerson syndrome, massive squad but very few FC calibre players within it. If we don’t, D2 basement looms for many years.

Imagine seeing this and thinking “yep that’s who we need for our team”
