I think it was something he’d like to do if practical I recall him saying something along the lines of it was with the council and propositions had been made with a hotel etc to generate revenue. Think if plans got the go ahead they would look further into how realistic it is and if they could get outside companies on board.

And skin colour seemingly ?

I think things haven’t gone quite to plan if we are looking at loans now; that’s taking the boss at his word. Early on he said he wanted the business done before the Austria trip which didn’t happen. Then at the fans evening he said he wanted our own players not loans but may look at loans to supplement us at the end. hope there’s some smoke and mirrors here otherwise it seems the plans put in place aren’t coming to fruition.

Quite sad as I probably won’t buy it anyway but looking forward to seeing our new kit this week!

I have to say I find this a really odd post

I know nothing about the Croatian President but she’s won a lot of fans with her behaviour.

Best World Cup I can remember - but I couldn’t tell you who I would give player of the tournament to

Captain Combover has been pretty bad in every game! Giroud departs, number 9 for the potential winners without a goal all tournament; shows how they play more through the guys playing off him.

It’s just ridiculous he’s gone the wrong way, I love football, wish the first half controversy never happened as will detract from it.

Wow a Karius moment and it’s 4-2 what a moment

MBAPPE Harsh On Croatia but that’s stunning; new superstar on the scene Best team of the tournament winning it, think the two best perhaps were in the other semi final

Stunning pass from Pogba to set up that goal and they are terrified of Mbappe

If I’m going to invade a pitch I’m not doing it in Russia in their showpiece final; to the dungeons with them!

Sad that it’s come to this though you want a final where one or both teams shine, not debates over a decision Bright start to the half

Very obvious it’s not perfect, has it even been a success? That’s up for debate; I think the parameters need tweaking at least but there’s potential. As so many vehemently disagree about the penalty it’s clear and obvious that it’s not clear and obvious so shouldn’t have been given - but I still say I think it’s a handball, just the awkward way he swings a let and moves his arm towards it, he’s misjudged it and got it all wrong. Its clear though that I may need to study up on the rules!

One of them was better than Lingards to be fair but they needed an England one there

There’s been a few stinking VAR decisions, many good ones, this one I think it’s both probably a penalty but also potentially a debatable use of VAR and a departure from its initial intention due to the clear and obvious thing I don’t think he touches it but not seen it back since the multiple views at the time

If it’s on the goal line and the same thing happens then a penalty is given 99% of the time. Ball has come all the way from the corner so it’s not like it’s been hit at him from a couple of feet. Doesn’t stop it being harsh mind you. Croatias goal was an absolute belter, hope there’s more in this. Edit - or did Umtiti touch it?

The ref gave the penalty ultimately not VAR, I think it is one of those that goes either way, probably not obvious enough to overrule if he saw it first time mind. The difficulty with the tech is you can watch something multiple times and still disagree.

Controversy - VAR penalty for handball, for me it’s a penalty but others will disagree I’m sure

Brilliant set up this now, Kante on a booking is a boost for Croatia

Ridiculous to think Kalinic will be getting a medal one way or another

Come on Mbappe make this a coming of age moment

Was on trial here back in Feb

Wouldn’t be a surprise, I recall hearing that the sponsors logo would enhance the kit and that would fit in well
