The idea they would have the worst refs in the top league is just

In fairness we've had a fairly rough start at home fixtures wise. How many points would you expect from Liverpool, Man Utd, Bournemouth, Chelsea and Leicester? I'd say Bournemouth should have been a win, but one point from the other four isn't *that* bad given they're all in the mix for the Champions League (results wise from Chelsea and Leicester is a different story, granted). Agree with the rest though- we simply have to win against Everton, by hook or by crook.

Probably is agent talk in fairness- just saw it and thought it was worth putting in here just in case it gets brought up again.

The guy hasn't long left a Championship job after doing a pretty incredible job there. Not a chance he'd come back to work in our u23s.

Great interview with former academy player Harley Willard, who since being released in 2017 has now played in Cambodia and Iceland.

What's their position as players got to do with it? If they were solely focused on keepers, how come our goalkeepers have been full of mistakes the last few seasons? It's hardly as if we're bringing through loads of CBs with Jaidi as our u21s manager is it...

Bournemouth is normally about 10 or 12 isn't it? Would imagine it'll be the same for this

Just for the Community Shield I think.

There we are.

Probably Leeds away in 11/12. Listening at home and the tension was unbelievable, especially as I couldn't see the game to assure myself we weren't under siege at that time, and every few seconds Blackmore waxing lyrical about another Kelvin Davis save. Unbelievable drama, and probably even better for it only having the radio commentary.

Think there was one from the Daily Express. Point proven.

He's also turned down Arsenal because they aren't in the Champions League, so he's about as likely to come here as Wesley Hoedt winning the Ballon D'Or.

In this particular instance, Koeman did. Carrillo was Pellegrino's pick too; Wee Ross pretty much confirmed that on the fans forum video.

Good interview with him here: Mentions that in the top paragraph:

Or join Liverpool, judging by this https://twitter.com/dazagalbraith/status/1150122203536662528

On the yellow ticker at SSN now- Sky Sources: Blackburn agree fee with Southampton for striker Sam Gallagher.

That'll be IMO what'll happen. He'll go out on loan for his final year, bit like what we did with Steven Davis.

Is that loyalty, or is that because he (quite rightly) thinks he won't be able to get the same contract elsewhere? Not a dig btw as at his stage of his career it's an important thing to consider.

Hasenhuttl has repeatedly said about signing young players under 24 on their first or second contract. Stop panicking and screaming for players that won't happen. We will get a CB.

Bramshot Hill Golf Club?

Only for Europe. PL is just 8 homegrown.

That's not particularly hard when he deletes the ones he gets wrong, like he did with Butland being a done deal, and he's already regurgitating stuff already out there. Here's a question- what would any agent, semi retired or not, get out of tweeting loads and loads of transfer rumours to make himself look reliable? Just doesn't make any sense. It's the most obvious fake going. Have a look at Jay Rodriguez's dad's twitter, who is a FA registered agent. The difference is ridiculous.

Got a feeling we have another month and ten days to go of that... It's the non-appearances in training camps which are the true highlight of the summer...
