Big news on the Lewis Travis girlfriend front:

Hope he keeps grounded his instagram shows he is living the lifestyle - nothing wrong with that of course as long as he stays focussed and by all accounts he trains like a beast

Alan Myers says the Trap bid was turned down with them wanting $3m but maybe a bit less would do it

Why are there just two games tonight when they all played on Saturday? Seems bizarre Going well for our mate Dean Henderson again at least

But you you said he was ‘in the villa side of the directors box’ not he saw him entering or leaving Alan Nixon said: Lukas Nmecha. In the Villa side of the directors box tonight. The plot thickens. The turn of phrase ‘in the xxx side of the directors box’ isn’t one I often hear as they aren’t split into sides are they, why pretend the info came from elsewhere when it’s blatant you just read it on Nickos twitter?

That was a free agent and I think Mowbray said he had gone to another team

Overall we just try to keep it on the straight and narrow, depending where your own viewpoint falls you may think we are being too lenient or too harsh to people of a certain viewpoint whilst others will see the opposite. In the past before a period when a few prominent posters were banned many thought we were too lenient on their posting style whilst they felt we were singling them out for unfair punishment. At times I personally hide comments when I feel there’s no value to having the post there, mainly when it’s purely sarcastic and just negatively impacts the ‘signal to noise’ ratio. I also personally think @K-Hod is as neutral as they come and his actions back that up. Maybe there’s some sensitivity from our side to try and stop trends forming (the happy clapper / Trembler days were pretty awful for all) but there’s probably also a level of hyper sensitivity when your own posts fall foul of any clean up. Having said that I only offered to help Glenn and Ste and co as I was browsing so often it made sense, more than happy to step back as and when there are better options

Chad - have you changed your view on Armstrong since first time we signed him. Recall you saying he wouldn’t play out wide and only play up front. Personally I think he’s a good option in both positions

Yep although the tweet I saw said loan with an option of 2 year deal but may be lost in translation

Good spot by Ian on twitter that his watch shows 4:35 so the deal was already done before today. I think player reveals now slows down announcements! Really hope competion for graham is the next one over the line now.

Anyone got super vision to work out the names on Moggas white board first team and subs then other categories of players

The whiteboard here confirms the formation Just wish I could work out the names on the left hand side!

And that Harry isn’t coming in

Armstrong is a £10m man with a good season behind him, loads of potential, worth the gamble for sure. Actual cash money spent - hope for some nice surprises this week now

Oh yes great news

Nixon’s attempt at covering his tracks after saying we’d only be getting loans: ‘BLACKBURN. Venkys have had some profitable months ... so boosted Mowbray spending fund enough to do Armstrong deal’

Decent result with a frustrating path to it, that could have gone much worse

Dack is God!

Danny Graham you sexy man! ps no more talk of links to streams we don’t want to have to ban people

Conceding an early goal will do that

Fancy us to get a decent result here but I’d take a draw

Would anyone take Lucas Joao as our forward signing? Not been linked by the way just me musing, I couldn’t see it after he was on the naughty step with Mowbray but he has talent

Oh I wouldn’t be so sure - he was complimentary about a lad called Sam Gallagher when we weren’t signing him

I think getting Armstrong in will give most a bit of a buzz - shame it’s not in time for tomorrow but getting him back means we are at least as strong as last season now. A centre forward of good pedigree and we are set for a decent season

Graham Daniels? We’ve played a blinder here by the way if it comes off, wait till Preston have paid his train fair then pop down the A59 and get him to Brockhall!
