Forgot one... Have met the band 'Enter Shikari', courtesy of being good friends with the lead guitarist's father

Ah, ok, perhaps my memory playing tricks on me then... How many games did he start,, out of interest? (and how many of those non-defeats were draws Vs wins?) Cheers 👍🏻

F*** knows.... I'm just off to my local Devonian village pub for quiz night and a gallon of something cold and amber... Enjoy your sweltering train journey... Mind the tracks don't melt... 😁

Is that the same Championship where we played better when Stephens was out injured and/or suspended...?

Just to clarify, are you using the word 'club' because you know that we're going to go back to the Kelvin Davis days of having a 'club captain' (as a ceremonial role) and a different on-field captain (although it could, of course, still be the same person from time to time)? If that's the case, then I'm not too fussed that we've given Jack the 'club captain' role. My concern was that we could've been repeating the Russell Martin mistake of naming a mediocre player as on-field captain that then adversely influences the matchday team selection.

If he does, I wonder what new signing they'll try and hide it behind this time...?

The jugs look appealing

Scottish band Runrig - several encounters Chris de Burgh - on a plane to Malta Nick van Eede, Cutting Crew (of "I just Died in Your Arms Tonight" fame) - back stage in Worthing a couple of years ago Paul Brady - back stage at Danish festival Bryan Adams - back stage at Tanzbrunnen, Cologne (had a good chat with his tour manager) Eddie Jordan - keyboard player with Fiction Factory (1980s one hit wonders with '(Feels Like) Heaven') Doesn't get much more Rock 'n' Roll than that!

Someone at the club needs to have a word in Thomas Tuchels shell-like... ".... 'ere.... Tom me ol' mucka.... wontcha have a Dicky Bird with Rambo when you get a mo and tell 'im he stands more chance of getting back into the England squad playing in a top Championship team than he does playing for the Black f***ing Cats at the arse end of Premier League"

I need beer!

Lovely looking paddock

Not fur long...

Fair point 👍🏻

A fair point but surely you don't give a "back up" player the captaincy? The ceremonial role of "club captain" maybe, but our on-field captain should be someone who is pretty much guaranteed to start every game. I've no problems with retaining Jack as a good character to have in the squad but having him retain the captaincy raises concerns about shoehorning him into the starting 11....

Saved me having to type out my thoughts.... Spot on...
