They have more quality depth than us. Patterson, Clarke, Diallo, Stewart, Roberts and (on that performance) O'Nein would all walk into our starting XI.

It's bloody annoying that Sunderland have a better squad than we do.

Did everyone else miss the cricket score at the Etihad Stadium a few weeks back?

I assume the home fans cheered Agent Mowbray as he left the tunnel tonight?

I think that's the deadline for new cases. The EFL submitted this one in on time.

Are Szmodics and Dolan not playing?

Agree to disagree. The only way we're going to get promoted is by succession planning. Bournemouth offered well over Rothwell's market value (especially for someone with just 6 months left in his contract) - he absolutely should have been sold. Likewise, say we don't get promoted this season and someone comes in with a £10m offer for Hyam (arguably our best CB) you say "thank you very much" and take the money. The whole point of having Broughton et al is that the next cab on the rank is already identified (either in the Academy or from smaller clubs) and that £10m is used to strengthen the team / club. Relegation threatened PL clubs started getting desperate for Brereton-Diaz in January 2022 - we should have sold him if a £12-15m offer (with add ons) came in. I'm not sure it did - the market has decided he's not worth anything like.

A lot of squad players, if you're a strong team - but either way they're assets that can be sold if they're under contract. I much prefer this to letting everyone slink away for free.

That's certainly one thing I won't miss when he leaves. We've made absolutely nothing of his Chilean adventure as a club - a massive missed opportunity - but we've had to suffer multiple inconveniences (and an annoying, rabid fan base / football authority).

I'm on a Miami Hurricanes board that has a tendency to go very off-piste very quickly. They have a fan they bully too - so it's not too dissimilar.

I'd break his legs.

I've heard the CEO has walked tonight.

But, and hear me out, wouldn't it be funnier if we gave everyone else the entire Darwen End?

So Wigan are down then. If they're refusing to train surely it brings the competition into disrepute? I'm all for all results against them being void...

It's an easy point scoring exercise for him.

I think that's more our failings than anything to do with Italy. I'm still not over losing that final - the biggest bottle job I've ever seen.

You sure? The penalty miss against France says otherwise.

Whoever made the decision to reduce their allocation to 2,000 has played an absolute blinder. Their reactions are hilarious. Utterly hilarious.

It's a massive game for us. Putting a 7 point gap between us and 7th at this stage in the season would be a massive mental barrier for the chasing pack to overcome.

Is Walker an actual prospect? Seems to score quite frequently, but I don't think he's ever been on the bench for the first XI.

Did I see that the EFL have handed a 3 point deduction to Wigan this week? Quick to hand those out, but the Sheffield United case rumbles on - funny that.

Imagine if we were promoted via the Playoffs and they sold us to competent owners... the stuff dreams are made of.

If we beat Birmingham we give ourselves a 7 point gap to 7th - that's massive psychologically.

Signed 30 players and forced a bloke out the door 6 months after signing him for serious money. Oh and having a sanctimonious tw... as a manager.
