Twas just a joke.

Nice one! Yeah, it was basically a Yorkshire project, especially with Bradford's exceptional 'City Gent' featured (the oldest surviving football fanzine), but really glad they asked us and others further afield to contribute something. Nice story too about Derek Fazackerley's niece (and Yorkshire cricketer) Rebecca Duckworth seeing Faz in the mag when she visited!

That’s a poor faith comment, K-Hod is far from overly positive and never an apologist for the owners but he’d also be fair with the truth

The state of that sign!

Ashley Phillips has re-joined Stoke City on a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur

I sleep with a pair of his super-tight unwashed tracksuit bottoms under my pillow.

Blackburn, Derby and Queens Park Rangers are interested in signing striker Timothe Nkada from French side Rodez. Nkada, 26, was joint-second top scorer in Ligue 2 last season with 17 goals and is available for about £2.2million. He previously played under new Rangers coach Julien Stephan when he was in the youth set-up at Rennes. By Charlie Wyett

It’s all rosy down at Ewood. All hail the Venkys!

Best team easy last night overall, thoroughly deserved to go through. Dominated large parts of the 90 minutes and virtually all of the extra time.

Talking of making transfers! Anyone play Premier League Fantasy Football? New thread probably needed but we could get a BRFCS league going? Unless there’s already one set up.

I wonder how many fans think ‘I don’t need this bag but I’ll take it anyway’.

Just on my way back from the Voice of the Fans fanzine exhibition at Leeds Central Library. Good to see a couple of copies of 4,000 Holes make the cut (issues 100 and 112), as well as a Blackburn Rovers Youth 'hated but rated' badge (I'd never heard of them 🙃). Rather Leeds United centric obviously, but a pleasant, well-curated mix. It's worth dropping by if you are local or passing through the city. Best of all, it's free! Open Mon-Sat daytime (and evenings Mon-Wed) until Sat 09 Aug.

Nothing said above? So to clarify, the club were perfectly happy with the minutes, but there is a delay for some other reason?

I love him I've got his picture on me wall, got his name upon me scarf.

“You can hate the snake and hate the snake charmer”

Whatever - I have never posted "hate the snake". Ok, so I just did.

Everton home shirts.

It is the lack of communication, that causes the paranoia.

Basically, none of the paranoia or anything said above bears out reality. Please simmer down, ta.

Well we know that for our players with 1 year left that he said he wanted new deals for them. Still a bizarre thing to downpost. But then you’ve already posted previous regarding Eustace that you “hate the snake” Hissss 🐍 🐍

Knew that was coming.

Don't be silly.

Seems to be accepted that he tried to get some assurances on the likes of Brittain, Travis and Tronstad though. It probably never even entered his head we wouldn't be able to come to terms on a short term deal with Batth.

Any club merchandise sold at preseason matches?

The control-freakery and paranoia at the club must be toxic. Makes you long for the days of Waggott. Things, as is being proved, can always get worse.
