That Man Utd kit is shocking.

I do wonder if Burnley might do an Everton and just about survive as there are 3 worse teams. Luton are an obvious team to go down but there is Everton, Sheffield United and Wolves who may be in the mix.

Glad I didn't go. Pears is very much a 2nd choice keeper you can't rely on over a season. Drop him ASAP.

If you're making a weekend of it, Exmouth is quite nice to visit. A bit of a way as it's the other side of the he south coast but you might meet Chris Brown and Dickson Etuhu at Sidmouth donkey sanctuary.

I'll be honest and say I can't wait to see him in action, as I am curious about any unknown signing. I'd much rather sign a young striker who is left field than some dobber who has been to 15 clubs and never really done anything e.g. Zahora, Carroll.

If he does a Clough, and we win the league after getting promoted, then he'll be the best ever manager. Or even if he got us a Champions league place within 3 seasons of promotion. Right now he is just a really refreshing, and promising change from Tony Moribund and losers like Coyle and K**n.

Just read the result on my break. Effing hell! Was the new goalie any good?

I'd need to check to see if I'm right, but I believe Queen Victoria was still alive the last time Preston win a league title or cup. Unless they won the Anglo-Italian Cup, Texaco Trophy or that one the lower two league divisions play.

I would guess Dubois will end up being at the Chisora/White level. Not good enough to win the belts but constantly facing up and comers who have a genuine chance as a final step on that road. Unlike Fury he is willing to fight proper fighters, and is not interested in reality shows or exhibition matches against YouTubers.

It's all about the sports washing, and the Arab elite are worse than that Spanish FA guy who is in trouble.

It's amazing how these things can quickly spiral out of control. So many known clubs can decline and die so rapidly, like Rushden and Diamonds, Bury, Scarborough and now potentially Southend. The top cabal have driven up prices, wages and so on so much with the collusion of the FA, agents, players, FIFA and UEFA that so many clubs lower down are either going bankrupt to pay players, or being sold off to any crook or incompetent fool with no supervision.

I get the impression that being one of those 8 workers will be a horrible job. The Saudis treat workers like slaves anyway, so imagine adding a right diva as your boss to the mix....... It's always the rich and famous who get the free stuff and perks, whilst we are call feckless scroungers for wanting a pay rise.

The Saudis also seem to move into Boxing, as the likes of Anthony Joshua have had rights there. It's all a move to make the country look more like a glamorous tourist place like the UAE instead of a repressive terrorist breeding craphole with infinite money. Whether it will work, along with mad projects like that long, straight city they're building is another matter. It depends how many rape victims they behead or people they kill in their embassies.

I did see a kid in a Ronaldo shirt near B&M in Coventry today.

Alistair Campbell is a Burnley fan, so that's enough reason to dislike them.

All this talk of Harry wants the all time goal scoring record is copium for Spurs fans since they win nothing. Who cares about that apart from sad 14 year olds, or the kids nd of gimps that argue whether Ronaldo or Messi is better? Someone, someday will beat that whereas winning leagues and cups are there forever. I hope Kane goes and enjoys life in a new country.

West Ham are definitely settling for mediocrity with those two signings. Happy to be around 13th, and not springing a surprise like Villa or Brighton last season.

Looks like we dodged a bullet with Ainsworth. QPR were pretty bad before he came, and now they look terrible.

Hooray. It's a win, which is good in spite of our owners

Get in. Watching the rugby with my sister and friends, occasionally checking the score. Great start.

If Kane did sign a new contract, he'd be the biggest idiot in the premier league. Spurs are going nowhere, win nothing, and can only aim for scraping into the last Champions League spot. The new manager might do OK, but he'll either be sacked, or leave after a few seasons for a big club with pedigree. Ash Phillips also took a risk in moving there.

I hope the weather is not as horrendous in Lancashire as it is in the West Midlands. There's standing water on the roads, and at least a faint drizzle all day. Not conducive for super sexy football.

Hopefully I'm wrong, and Leonard turns out to be the next Alan Shearer, and scores 40 goals this season. I'm not that lucky though.

Yeah Upside Down, that Mendes character is in partnership with some rich Chinese guy, hence all the Portuguese and Spanish based players playing for them in recent years. Sort of like a competent version of when Shebby Singh got us a knackered Nuno Gomes and several random young Portuguese men from a nightclub in Lisbon.

Not confident today. I think we will just lose out.
