(Kicks over Hornets nest) Perhaps Tuchel won't be as lucky with the draws as Southgate was! 😅

I remember enjoying cup draws. That was boring shite.

They were due to announce who was taking over or the front runners to be their new owners today but have delayed it; hopefully avoids a bit of a bounce.

Don’t be mean about Scotland.

V Croatia Wed 17th June V Ghana Tue 23rd June V Panama Sat 27th June

Having teams that far down the pyramid is daft, absolute cannon fodder in there. Most convoluted draw of all time

Infantino is a disgrace. *Game's gone*

Surprisingly hard first game. im not vehemently anti Trump like many people but that ceremony where he got the made up peace prize was beyond ludicrous. He looked like Muttley begging for a medal off Dick Dastardley. What the hell are FIFA doing getting involved with shite like that? Stick to the football.

Croatia first game. A good team

It’s a classic tax planning technique…but VLL isn’t profitable so not sure how much manipulation is realistically possible. 🤷‍♂️ Overdraft is relatively easy to window-dress as for instance debtors can be pressured to pay up in the run up to the accounting year end, credit taken can increase (keeping cash in the bank) etc. I seem to recall sometime, somewhere reading that football clubs are encouraged have to have a June 30th year end for regulatory/reporting consistency… Venky’s India has a March 31st y/e so that makes consolidation easier at that level.

Would it be cynical to wonder if Venkys London and Rovers have different accounting periods so things like year end overdraft figures can be ‘manipulated’?

Oh god it gets worse.

Typical American shite. Its a world cup draw get a legend in talk to them then straight to the draw.

As I was saying. This ‘build up’ is perhaps the most farcical thing I have ever seen.

See above…👆😉

As per Herbie's post above suggests the overdraft has been considerably higher during the year.

The overdraft figure in the accounts is at a single point in time (the date the accounts closed- 31/3/25) - it doesn’t break down how many days at what ever level of usage. You could take the interest charge paid from the P&L (c.£2m) , the interest rate charged (say 7% - Base Plus Margin) & calculate the average balance… So c.£2m paid in interest for the year at say 7% implies a £28.5m average balance through the period for example.

They had a brief spell. Different physical attributes obviously but nobody can tell me Gueye is an improvement on either. His contribution outside of a little bit last season has been virtually nil, nothing.

Hereford v Newcastle 1972, Ronnie Radford has to be the seminal FA Cup moment? The other moment I remember is Jim Montgomery's unbelievable save for Sunderand against Leeds in the '73 final.

I wouldn't mind us signing Gardner-Hickman on a cheap deal. He has been better than I expected him to be. A decent player in the middle who works well alongside Tronstad. I'm probably in the minority on this, but I like the player and think he is more effective than Travis.

UK base rate.

Can’t get anything past me 😁😁

Those games against Villa late 70’s, Coventry early 80’, Live on BBC 84/85 against Southampton and Man Utd will all go down as some of the best memories of FA Cup for me. I still love the competition, even though it’s been decimated by the bigger clubs and FA!

I wonder what the ban would’ve been if a fan had spat at him.

No shit Sherlock.
