Sadly not, I missed that one, although I've seen some cracking shows there down the years. Were you there? As an aside, I saw on the Joiners social media that only 11 of the 34 venues on that first tour are left. Nice reminder to support these small venues.

Shouldn't be a back 5/3. On the Forest showing, Stephens isn't getting dropped. THB might though.

Giving

Ha!! Typing ain't my forte!

I think you'll find nobody gives a monkeys mate. We've just won, scored some worldies, enjoy.

Add ABK being back out there for us to the positives. Playing for a move perhaps, but he turned up away to Cardiff and did well.

Larios

I'm looking forward to seeing what this lad has got. Big talent by all accounts.

Unless Fraser can sort his contract out he'd likely only come here on loan and having spent £25m on a keeper, I'd imagine (hope) we'd want to save our loan slot for a decent centre forward.

I remember watching him in the reserves before he made his breakthrough. He was very special then, and class like that (as a player) never goes.

To be fair, he's making the jump from league 1, and has had to partner Wood.

Wishful thinking I think. Shame, because he's a hell of a player on his day.

If playing with his head up and judgement hasn't been coached into him by now, it never will be. He's the football version of a darts player who can hit the trebles but has no idea where the doubles or bull are.

Wow. That's a proper signing. I couldn't give a monkeys what the fee is, as long as it's affordable and within our FFP cap, all is good.

That is the Margot Robbie of goals. Beautiful and just a wee bit filthy.

Not exactly interfering with play though. Edit: I thought you meant when the shot was struck, but obvs you meant when he received the ball. Apologies.

Yep. Nothing more than that I think.

Yep!!! Looking forward to seeing both of them. Akachukwu apparently has something about him, and nice to see him get a chance.

Nah. Archer playing up top, Dibling and Fernandes pushing up, one of the full backs at least at a time, and the other winger coming in. Assuming it's the 433 it looks like, this is much more like the shape we should be playing.

Decent line up imo, and not far from what I'd have gone with, although I'm surprised not to see one of BBD or AA starting and the other on the bench. Nice to see that Lallana and ABK are still alive.

Nowt ambiguous about their morals - it's outrageous behaviour. The profiteering from this for the various outside businesses will be outrageous.

Fair point, but I liked his music so it was easier to look past that.

Ditto. I loved stone roses, happy mondays, James, charlatans, ocs and various other manc bands. Before that new order and joy division. I dunno why I never got into Oasis, but they just never did it for me. I think it's as simple as I found Liam's vocals a bit whiney and I thought he was a cock. That said, over time I've liked a lot of their stuff, and some of the boys solo stuff.

You say that, but a standard PFA contract term was (I'm unsure if it is now) that each game missed after being injured in the field of play or being selected in a match day squad was deemed to be an appearance for bonuses etc.

What's shambolic about pulling out of a deal cos the kid failed his medical? Sounds sensible to me. You'd have had a point if we signed him though.
