I'm worried he'll retaliate when Pep tries to manhandle him at half time, after Downes has bossed the midfield.

It's always great to find things you have in common with people. Like that post! I was looking forward to a thread just about...other people, just like us, who don't.

It's a bit messy for everyday, so I keep those with my self flagellation whips, so it doesn't get everywhe...wait, when did this get too personal...

Never underestimate the timeless look of sack cloth. The only labels you need, are the ones showing your name and address. That way, you can be directed home, when you get lost.

I think Rayner is making a speech today. Just getting in some early practice before the post locals election challenge (tax case resolution also making a difference in the timing) From what I've picked up, Starmer is hiding behind no one explicitly telling him that part of the vetting had failed. Never mind that Mandelson was the mentor of McSweeney, who pushed for his appointment and persuaded Starmer. Without much effort, they announced him prior to the conclusion of vetting. Starmer put having a political operator and chum over any concerns he had over publically known links to Epstein. Another reason he didn't get told about the vetting failure, was that he was already fully aware of the reasons why it failed, which were the Russia and China links. There was nothing new in there, that would have changed his mind, no matter what ministers say now. Because he already knew. Robbins will shed more light on it. - The level of detail, if any, that was passed on. - The timing of vetting pre/post appointment. - The meetings held by him and predecessor to make sure the appointment happened. It turns out a few other people did know, and we're going through a process of finding out how much they could tell Starmer. That area dropped from the list of places Starmer said had never been informed.

Looking forward to seeing their L1 clash with Leicester, if it turns out like Dixon and Speedie. 🙂

Torino 12th (11th last season, and 9th before that). Che with 5 league goals in 28, 7 in 31 in all competitions. His contract ends at the end of next season, unless there's an extension clause in there. (All taken from wiki) He'll have a World Cup to go to. All options open really. I could see why Torino might want to cash in now. Also why he might want to run his contract down again.

From a Beeb article regarding Wolves, and their plans for next season, there's a familiar partner for AA... "Internal talks over transfers are ongoing, while Edwards is expected to resurrect a move for Torino forward Che Adams having failed to land him in the winter window."

Did Pony make the Man City shirts? I remember West Ham and Spurs.

I thought Ipswich were going to win this earlier. But 'boro have fought and back in front. A trying but an Ipswich win will be good. But this is great if we can keep our own run going.

Are you saying I should give up my Stokesweb membership? They have to realise what a gem they have! 🙂
