RL has been hurt by the Salary Cap, it's allowed the tail to wag the dog and the overall standard of the league has plummeted. As for the Saudi Pro League - I'm not sure what they get out of it. They've already bought multiple clubs around the world, so their name is out there. Artificially pumping up a farmer's league (what are there, 8 teams?) is an odd choice, but they essentially have a bottomless pot of money so they can afford to do it. I think the football governing bodies will shadow-ban anyone that goes to the Saudi Pro League from international football as the traditional super powers in Europe can't compete financially with oil money. Much like The Hundred I won't watch a second of it.

It's mainly to give them control over an out ground when Old Trafford isn't available (usually due to a concert rather than a Test!). There isn't currently one in central Lancashire - they go to Southport, Liverpool, Blackpool and (snigger) Cumbria... but I think they've already fallen out with Liverpool?

I actually think he's a solid squad player - he's one of Mowbray's better signings, but he's not a starter in a strong promotion chasing team. -

Outstanding from Hemp, that. picked up the ball on the halfway line for that goal. -

Some of this football is a wet dream for the Allardyce apologists we have amongst us. 😆 -

Shouldn't be scoring from that far out. -

I feel sorry for Daly - she's not a LWB. -

Who does Hemp play for? She's a superstar. -

ITV had the Chelsea (I think) manager on - she was really good. -

This ref giving the convicts everything. Clearly influenced by the crowd. -
Diallo carried them a lot last year - he was always going to be a big miss.

Has he been good at this level? Two penalties and a ball glancing off the back of his head. From what I've seen he's looked lost.

If I was the ref I'd be contacting my lawyers about that slanderous comment. -

In hindsight, yes, but it takes a brave 19 year old in his second start to grab the ball out of the hands of one of the most senior players. -

Zonal marking and a player allowed to use his hands. -

He's just a big lump, isn't he? -
Looks like they need Sam Gallagher upfront. £2.5m and he's yours, lads. Mowbray's taking you on a wonderful journey, just wait.

You can double up on him when he's partnered with Travis - he's no threat to hurt you with the ball. Less so when he's partnered with JRC (or Buckley). -

You can't help but love him. Clearly he hated the 'there's no pressure, we're developing players' line from Waggot and also the promise of 4 new players. He's a winner. -

Get used to that, Kaminksi. Luton are going to get pumped week in, week out. -
It'll settle down - take us, for example, our manager is still expecting 4 new players to be brought in. Squads aren't decided yet.

When did BBD last miss a penalty?
