The thing that is concerning about Downing rather than his ability or age is that after all the talk of the scouting network the first real link is another of the Boro boys, it doesn’t instill confidence

Well his doppelgänger is injured

Definitely saw Derrick Williams with heavily pregnant wife and Tyrone Dobbs - not together, and still think it was Big Ben although I would have thought they would have been in Dubai or similarly

Sure just seen him limping around the Trafford centre

Not had my recorded phone call from Mark Hughes yet

I didn’t watch it, I just don’t like seeing Liverpool win, even deleted social media for a few days as I’m friends with a few plastic scousers

Leeds as a club are just classless top to bottom, bit odd trying to ‘banter’ Derby on their official twitter when they blew promotion

Mings is so unlucky there he’s been a revelation for Villa

Netflix may be delighted, an epic ending to season two and more fuel for season three! Leeds losing in the semis and Sunderland in their final is great stuff though. Sky now hoping for a Lampard story tomorrow

I said the same!

Pleased with that, good luck to him wherever he ends up

I see somewhere we’ve been linked with Bassala Sambou at Everton, I mentioned him last summer purely because Tony worked with him at Coventry! Young striker

Watching him in a testimonial was art

He scored the worst goal in history against West Ham I think it took about 73 deflections

I was fortunate to be with the match sponsors that day, was great to meet the maestro and get a picture with him after his last game What a joy it was to watch him

Just not the same without the Chadman

His ‘quirky charm’ is wearing off now, has an opinion he thinks folk want to hear about everything

I thought it was just a follow up article as in he’s gone home but as a last experience they let him have a session with the first team.

There didn’t seem to be any noise from the Doncaster fans so there can’t be too many of them, no idea how it becomes a safety concern it’s bonkers

He looks awful here

Danny Williams released by Huddersfield as well, I thought Payne left them permanently last year to be fair!

Reckon Conway May rock up at Barnsley or similar

Whilst I don’t want Conway or Gladwin in the team I like the shoots of humanity we see sometime. Gladwin will hate being injured and seeing what career he has slipping away, sounds more like he may be allowed to stay around out of contract and use the facilities. Footballers May have the easy life but the Sunderland documentary showed just how they can be affected mentally when injured it can be a lonely place. Then again I’ve just been on a conference all about Corporate social responsibility and the like so I may be seeing the world a bit more rosy

Been sat stationary on the m6 for 3 hours now (6 in total) but this has cheered me right up

Steve Waggott wins the playoffs as Leeds and their horde are welcomed back to fortress Ewood
