London blue

Would you mind leaving those of us that enjoy women's football to talk about it without you, then? I'm hopeful of either Kelly or Agyemang starting the final.

I'm very jealous of anyone out there. Looks a lovely few days and IraC's comments on the stadium make it sound like a proper jaunt. Enjoy yourselves.

No, no. You changed your point halfway through. You're SO determined to be right that you changed "pointless for Spurs" to "pointless on the pitch". Let's debate in good faith.

I've watched it all on BBC/ITV

Where will we finish @chaddyrovers ?

That was a pen. The fact it's not given in different circumstances doesn't alter it, for me. It's the calmest, most sure "that's a pen" call I've ever made from my sofa.

Brittain to Derby is a fucking joke.

Derek Williams was mediocre. Martin Olsson and Gael Givet were streets ahead of Beck.

Then for me, he should play if he's contributing.

Nah I'm sorry that's not good enough. The club have to start acting in a way that either protects assets or maximises the output of the squad. If he's ready to start contributing but hasn't signed a contract I have no interest in developing him this year for him to walk to Arsenal at the end of it. If these talks have been held then he'll know what is on the table. Sign and play, otherwise he should be used as and when required and no more.

haughty will do, too

I find it very tiresome how you assume people are overlooking things rather than have considered them and don't see them as valid points. Your tone is consistently condescending and supercilious.

I get not liking a kit or kits but to completely ignore how subjective their appeal is and to call for heads to roll is laughable, sorry. The home strip looks cheap and uninspiring, but I think the away and third are gorgeous.

This feels like a huge overreaction to me. Far more pressing things to be concerned about than wearing an away strip for a home friendly.

My assumption with kit suppliers is that there is some kind of tiering system. Access to new, bespoke designs would mean a bigger outlay from the club. Otherwise you get basic template designs and get to stick something on the collar and claim it's a "nod" to something.

It's an embarrassment. An ongoing one that were all tied into.

Recent post from the rovers account priming us for the fact that CB's replacement is already here.

I'm so sick of this husk of a club. As if losing your players for nothing over and over again wasn't bad enough the attempted gaslighting by Gestede and co. is so galling. Dolan, Bath and Weimann leave for free. Brittain is being sold for buttons buuutttttt Hyam might sign a new deal.

As would I. Both scenarios suck, but I'd rather we raised £0 from the sale in the hope it expedites the removal of Venkys and/or Suhail.

Afraid this doesn't work when we needed him to play 90% of games due to a death of competition.

It's certainly got that feel to it.

steady on

No apology necessary fella. I agree, it's one project after another with this lot. Without some insight from the very switched on Watson the approach would be mystifying to me.

The podcast Elliot did with Andy Watson recently was quite telling about the scouting of these relegated clubs. It seems there is at least a strategy at play, albeit one pushed by a lack of spending power.

I'll not kill you, but will point out that incoming funds mean next to nothing to this club. Taking punts on cheap, young replacements is exactly what the club is doing and we'll see how wise it is to have those types of players as starting midfielders soon, I'm sure. I'd rather they stayed and left for nothing next year. I'd rather the club didn't earn a penny in transfer fees for the foreseeable, to be honest.
