Just north. (And around the corner from St Albans.)

Salisu's absences in the last month have more than likely to be down to Ramadan. Interesting that he came on at the beginning of the second half yesterday - after he'd have been able to break his fast. Ramadan ends tonight so there's a good chance we'll see much more of him in the last three games. On the question of the wisdom, or otherwise, of having a small squad, I'm sure Ralph has changed his mind. But the teams with smaller squads were always going to suffer much more than usually this season because, with the restart added to it from last season, the players have been going for almost a continuous year. Fatigue has certainly not been distributed equally among the 20 teams.

Link?

Where did you get this information from?

Loookman is at RBL. But Anguissa is a Fulham player. He was loaned out by FFC when they went down the last time.

10-4

To who?

Which means a nailed-on Saints win.

How it's secured isn't really relevant to how big the actual debt is. I may have this wrong, but I thought it was an £80m line of credit but with little to no idea of how much the actual debt component was. It's a it like having a £1000 credit limit but having a debt of only £100 - you only pay interest on the debt, not on the limit of credit. As I say, I may have this wrong, and there's not a great deal of transparency about the loan, but it may be that the indebtedness isn't quite as high as one might imagine.

How much of that £80m is actual debt, as distinct from a line of credit?

Wait...what? What's happening in India has many and very complex causes. The idea that all those funeral pyres are the consequence of MLT's (and others') mad tweets is bizarre. He's being judged on his football, nothing else.

I wish I could bottle your optimism.

I think you may be underestimating rank incompetence. Remember, the key executives in this shambles were Woodward and Gazidis.

And Nigel Adkins' Charlton poised to overtake them and edge them out of a play-off place?

Nope. We'll win 0-1. Bank on it.

So there are five or so clubs that join the 'super' league on merit and, presumably, lose their place when they're...what exactly? If they finish last, then I guess they'd go back to non-league football and qualify their way back to the Prem. But given the guarantees to the founder clubs, they could finish, say, eighth, with founder clubs beneath them, and still get relegated. Why on earth would any club want to do any of that to themselves? Let's say Leicester wins the diminished Prem. The super league then directly sabotages the Champions League by constantly skimming (or trying to) the teams that would otherwise qualify. I don't get any of this. Was the new league designed, by any chance, by people who are completely clueless about European football and domestic competitions?

My comment was a joke acknowledged by the poster I was replying to. Your comment is just a nasty, ugly little sentiment. By the way, I imagine I have nothing in common with Rooney except that I also have no GCSEs - how dimwitted must I be?

There are lots of reasons why someone may have difficulty reading. Dismissing them as stupid is really quite ugly.

What a charmer you are.

Oh the shame... 12 years on this site and I've now gone through the existential hell of being MLG'd for the first time. (As a natural pessimist though I'd bet he doesn't recover in time.)

The Guardian is reporting that JWP is out for the game tomorrow. How on earth do players pick up so many injuries on international duty?

Is Ings in bold because his was the one name you were confident you'd spelt correctly?

MLG winding people up who say dumbass things is the best entertainment on here.

Anyway, so I thought JWP played well.

Much the same way your husband bans you. Your point about Gao and pot-pissing is valid though
