Still not big enough for Italy to qualify though.

Keep it, looks good, nothing wrong with it as it is and pretty much all new crests/badges look shite anyway and end up being refreshed to something else that also looks shite. Anyone that wants a new one can go do their own and get a tattoo of that on their arse if they're that bothered about it.

Dan Neil seems like it could be a good bit of business. Looks like he can tackle, go past players and has a decent pass on him too. Particularly like that he can receive the ball on the half turn as well. If we've got central midfield options of Downes, Bragg, Neil and Jander then that's a proper competitive midfield for next season. Sort out the competition for the 10 position and a replacement for Stewart and we should be sorted. Obviously just a case of replacing any others that leave after that.

Oh yeah, I missed that. This gentle comedy has me in stitches.

Come to the wrong thread Chez, this one is only for bad puns I think.

Well two have willingly given up their seats for him already so they're kind of getting used to the idea....

Yeah, I saw Farage had called for one yesterday. TBF I don't really disagree with that either especially with Burnham promising "change". I think LD mentioned about going for a GE in the autumn and it would probably be the best call Burnham could make. It'll allow him to be a bit braver and get a proper mandate if he wins. He should be a better campaigner than Starmer ever was and his popularity probably won't get any higher than it is now. Could proper decimate the Tories though.

On a slight tangent, have the tories come out and asked for a general election? It's the usual thing to do when the prime minister changes but I would have thought they would be terrified of a GE right now.

Personally I'd have Cameron a lot further down the list. Wouldn't have had Brexit without him.

I'm not sure Burnham is the darling of the left. As a minister he served under the New Labour banner and from recollection his last two attempts to become labour leader were hindered by that New Labour association. In fact, I don't even think that Starmer going is the result of anything particularly ideological within the labour party.

Looking that way isn't it? Personally I'd like to see some sort of contest if only to give everyone a bit more of an idea of what Burnham is all about. Letting him sail into the job of prime minister without any kind of scrutiny isn't very sensible.

Immigration is down, economy is showing signs of improvement and NHS waiting lists are down. Given what he's had to work with I don't think he's been disastrous. He's definitely made mistakes and his popularity isn't good by any stretch but I think that's more about his ability to relate and communicate rather than his record.

It’s a bit simplistic to look at height and the team they play for only. Presume you wouldn’t have signed Kante from Caen either? I’ve no idea whether the lad is any good or not but 5ft 9 isn’t midget territory and from what I can tell he’s quite a stocky player with a decent amount of speed and stamina.

The Friday night game (presuming they do one) will probably be West Ham vs one of the promoted teams. Can see us against Boro as a 12.30 Saturday game though.

Someone did mention to me that we've been linked with Callum O'Hare again. Not sure where the link came from and it's probably bollocks but can see that being something we might be interested in.
