In the same way that the pope is on the brink of becoming Catholic?

Great run from elliot, halfway line to edge of the box. Brilliant little dribble. Wrong direction.

Hes getting forward but looks scared to do anything other than a 10 yard pass back.

I dont pay for ifollow so I'm really pissed off that this is on sky. Sky pundits talking about Armstrong "every time he gets in the box you think hes going to score" I bet his shot conversion stats dont back that up

Completely off topic but your remaining battery life is giving me anxiety.

So what's he doing 7 till 7? Bet he's got a cracking score on candy crush.

I remember as a kid during winter, if the weather forecast said there was a chance of snow I'd wake up every morning for a week or two and excitedly rush to open the curtains to check it had snowed overnight. I'm currently going through the same process checking the news to see if tony has gone yet.

Our points per game in Feb has gone from 0 to 0.17. That's an increase of infinity - sounds like progress to me, Tony will be chuffed...

That's the worst thing about the mowbray era the feeling of nothingness. Win I dont get that excited, lose i dont get angry. I miss the emotion of supporting a football club. At least with kean I had anger.

"I don't sit in here in fear fighting for my job cos I'm mates with the CEO" Also the young lads do probably see the criticism however the vast majority has been levelled at Mowbray rather than the players so cant see how that would damage their confidence. What Journey are we on btw? We're going to go into summer probably needing another 4 or 5 signings as we do every summer. What's worse is I read that whole interview in his dull dejected voice and nearly put myself to sleep.

Same I'd rather rid the club of anyone with value than sell off infrastructure. If we sell of the facilities we could slide into irrelevance.

Our manager said that top 6 is what we should be aiming for. He said it, not the fans. We're nowhere near, have some integrity and walk.

When you look at the sums and assume I havent missed anything, it can only be of any real benefit to someone earning a bit of commission out of this. I dont know if anyone involved in this is say a CEO on the brink of retirement...

Been dipping in and out of this thread so apologies if I missed it. But what is the financial benefit of doing this? I've seen it touted as a £68million deal but 1) that's based on £400k per house which seems high as an average for a development 2) it also assumes the houses are built for free. Even assuming we didnt just sell the land to a developer and built it ourselves you're looking at 25-30% profit (and that's a high estimate) 3) we've then got to build this new training centre So realistically is this deal not going to be well under 20million? Less than 2 years of what the venkys stick into the club to keep it afloat. Or is this an exercise in cutting overheads?

Just finishing Hotel Cecil, I find web sleuths both fascinating and insanely irritating. What happened to Morbid is a lesson in not judging a book by its cover. Good series though.

In fairness i havent seen Sancho too much this season so dont know what kind of form he's in. Sterling, I really dont rate for England, he's a good player in a city side where the other 10 players create space and a shed load of chances each game but for England he wont get that space or those chances.

I like the idea of Henderson and Rice together in midfield with 4 ahead of them For me: Pope Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw Henderson Rice Foden Mount Grealish Kane

I think keepers you've got to consider McCarthy given the season hes been having (excluding the 9-0) over henderson who's not playing. Also there was a story going round about how Martinez could be eligible for England now, it wont happen but I would love that. Really rate him. Right back, wan bissaka and trippier would be unlucky to miss out but in who's place. It's a difficult position to chose with the talent available. TAA, I'd be tempted to leave out, not having a great season and I dont think we've got the defence that liverpool had when he was firing. Centre back I cant see gomez being fit in time and certainly not back to his best so id take coady. Cant argue with the rest but I dont envy who has to pick the starting 11.

Can only assume his post match comments were along the lines of "Awful news, Sam's going to be out for a long time but if we're taking a positive out of the game Ryan's hamstring went in the 90th minute. I've got a problem for the next game, benno could cover at right wing or at full back, it's a headache but a nice headache to have. It might be that he covers both and we play with 10"

We're on a journey alright, trouble is not all journeys go to a good place. I took a journey once. Destination - Slough.

Why does your phone need a kettle?

And we'll need to find room for Bennets statue as well.

I remember losing to my mate 5-0 on fifa and then desperately claiming "yeah but I had 54% possession"

I'd have lampard but doubt he'd drop down to championship again. Someone like that though who uses the youth, well connected for loans and is hungry and wants to take us somewhere rather than some old bod wanting another pay day.

Odd mentality isnt it playing two left backs to nullify a right back. The positive option would be to have a winger pining the RB back or exploiting the space in behind when he does push on but good old tony lumps for two defenders instead.
