Cantwell beats his man and is dragged back. No yellow. Every bloody week with these refs. They're so, so, so bad.

Ohashi kicked in the chest - no foul. Fuck. Me.

'Twat' was the word I used.

They're playing a certified scumbag upfront in Ollie McBurnie. I hope we get the luckiest win ever.

I mean it's been that way since we were relegated from the PL. Bunch of no-mark journeymen rotating in the famous blue and white halves for over a decade.

Two penalty decisions going (incorrectly) against us has cost us four points so far. We live on such a fine margin because we haven't bolstered the attack this offseason.

They'd be mad to defund them - the Academy more than pays its way (and there's a bloody grant!).

Leonard needs a loan for the good of his career - he's not going to develop being a bit part player here. We need another CF, a RW and a CM imo. We might not get any.

What's the context of that?

We should have built on the squad that got us 7th last year (and realistically absolutely bottled the Playoffs). Instead we've dismantled that squad.

There's suddenly A LOT of black players in the team. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's surely no coincidence.

Why are we only replacing Travis and not strengthening CM?

I suspect we can't actually match it as there's clearly absolutely no fucking money floating around the club. The owners could, but they seem to have cut us adrift.

Someone didn't get the memo. Used to be a family club. Now it's a zombie club.

Buy. A. Good. Set. Piece. Taker.

Oladapo Afolayan? Born in London.

We're still a CM short.

No more embarrassing than the last 15 years.

I've still got zero problem with Ismael telling the truth - that Travis wants out and has submitted a transfer request. As for the spinning narrative - you mean what's left of our fan base, right? Tens of thousands have walked away.

I hope he goes. I'd be sick to get any further compensation for him (thereby easing the burden on the Venkys and prolonging their toxic stay), but what an opportunity for the lad.

In my opinion we needed both Travis and Baradji. We're, at best, treading water replacing one with the other. At the moment we're still reliant on Forshaw / Montgomery to come off the bench to play significant minutes.

What exposure? That's a 7:30am kickoff on the East Coast and a 5:30am kickoff on the West Coast of the US. We have new media darlings Wrexham and Birmingham in the league - both owned by Americans. Surely their new US fans won't want to wake up at that time to watch them?

It's clear they're looking for ANYTHING to latch on to. This club treats its fans with contempt.

If that was the case we'd have fast-tracked Duru to the first team and not bothered with Alebiosu. For whatever reason they just don't seem to fancy Duru.
