Only just clocked this. Getting a black lab. Its 4 and a half weeks old at the moment, we got over to see the breeder for the first time last weekend which has made me dead excited, both mum and dad have a good temperament and dad is a good strong dog. I was never the most confident around dogs when I was younger but always absolutely loved my friends dogs. Always wary of dogs in the park that run up to you but would let my mates dog run all over me.

Weve pretty much been doing that since Steve Kean took over haven't we? We're well ahead of the game.

Been about 6 or 7 years since I last played one but I've been really tempted to jump back into the football manager games. Time has moved on since I last did PC gaming, what is the crack now for getting games on a laptop with no disk drive? I looked on steam and FM20 is 40 quid which is a bit steep, can you get them cheaper elsewhere (legitimately)?

On loan from Derby to play 3rd choice - was a confusing move when I saw it. But wages wouldnt be city prices.

If I went I'd go back no bother. Assume they'll have some social distancing measures in place.

And it's his job to tell them that after the seasons ended isnt good enough and is restricting the club. I've, constructively, told my bosses when things arent working and how we could do things better, it's not an abnormal occurrence in a well run workplace.

You've never had to manage upwards because of an incompetent boss? You dont have to be confrontational but theres ways he could put pressure on and nag them to give an answer.

I'll be honest I've only ever found it useful when solving these kind of puzzles that pop up on Facebook. You'll probably have been applying it without realising your whole life though.

Didnt tugay famously smoke like a chimney? Wouldnt get in the team under mowbray logic. Personally I dont care about the attitutde off the pitch as long as it's not illegal and doesnt disrupt the rest of the squad. If he does the business on match day then he should play, if he doesnt he should be dropped.

I love it when someone gives a wrong answer with such spectacular confidence ?

Cracked it

Lightbulb stumped me a bit is each 'ray' worth 3?

That's the natural conclusion to never signing any defenders.

That's how I read it, hes sowing the seeds for us only getting in freebies and loans. I think we'd all be happy at some youth coming through but that seems at odds to him shoving bennet at left back and bringing mulgrew in over carter

Nice of him to highlight to the press that he's struggling with confidence, that'll take the spotlight off him.

Chance to blood some youngsters and see what we're working with next season. I therefore expect Bennett in goal, Gallagher playing RWB and Mulgrew as a wide forward and Bradley Orr as false 9.

Was it downing as false 9 that made you certain?

Being absolutely destroyed on sky sports news. Absolutely woeful.

Tough game, play off hopes pretty much gone, superior team, fans with little hope of a win = tony playing a blinder and getting a 3-2 win.

Cheers Jim ? I might come back to this in about 10 weeks time when the house has been destroyed...

Holloway, he's nutty enough for the venkys to like.

Travis fouled and a decent keeper saves that.

Yeah was gonna say the same, reads like he'll be doing both.

Exactly - and Brereton hasnt lived up to the hype when he first came here. Under Tony we need a decent centre forward which will cost us money. Or we could get rid for 2mill and get atleast one of Ben or Gallagher firing them in under a different manager

Would a different manager not get more out of the likes of brereton, rothwell, gallagher and play anyone but beno at Lb. I feel like a different manager playing a different system, getting the most out the current squad round pegs in round holes etc. would need to make far fewer signings than tony would in order to get a bit of excitement back in the fans. That in itself is worth the 2m it might cost to sack him.
