Excellent work, looks really good!

Is this likely to happen?

Incredible stuff at Bolton. It just looks like it will end in an even bigger mess than it is now. I don't know a great deal about this Bassini character but his time at Watford appears to have been a disaster. Unsure how I'd feel if I was a trotter. Things will either stay similar to how they are now or get much worse. I can't see it getting much better under this shady new owner.

Didn't we end up in a similar situation with Nelsen being Club captain and Samba as captain on a matchday? But yer, not sure how that really worked either.

Actually seems the wrong way round as well. You beat Emerald and trade the earth harp for master magic, summon and command materia and then beat ruby, trade the desert rose for a gold chocobo, which you must have already so you can get KOTR to beat Ruby/Emerald in the first place!

Who's he? A keeper or something..?

I will, but only because it does fuck all.

Leeds play Villa next. Whilst Sheff Utd play Ipswich. I remember a Leeds fan saying to me years ago, if Leeds don't get Automatically promoted, they won't get promoted. I wouldn't fancy the play offs with Villa in their current form.

Good to see Buckley get on.

Well. It took 20 odd years and basically a cheat but I finally did it.

Excellent result!

Canadian starts. Raya on the bench. No other changes

?

Concerning but not unexpected

Seems like a fairly reasonable assessment of what's going to happen This season we've also seen a lot of our U23 players signed up to new contracts. Mowbray might even play the "I want to see which players can step up in pre season before going to the transfer market" line. Budget is also a factor, I can't see us having a lot to spend when we signed AA/BB for decent money. Realistically, we aren't going to have the budget we need to replace all the players that need it. No idea how Mowbray will prioritise transfers but I would hope he has critical positions that need sorting first to avoid wasting what money we have and then he will get what he can after that. I can't see him being ultra ruthless or like you say, people queuing up to take our dross either. Could be interesting this summer, could be one gigantic damp squib.

Is he a lone striker/target man type though? (Asking because I don't know) If not, we'll need to adjust the formation/tactics in order to accommodate him and give him a fair chance.

+Keeper

Wow, not a great stat for Mulgrew that.

Edit: Damn you Stuart!!

If you can beat Emerald weapon without a max kotr, stick it in a triple growth weapon/armour and you'll get 150,000 AP. Still not enough to max it out mind you!!

There were a few methods to beating Emerald and Ruby weapons but they both involved a shed load of time being invested. Getting KOTR was a job in itself but then you needed mime and quadra magic. Cast KOTRx4 (linked with quadra magic) then mime the last command so it repeats at zero mp cost (i think?) Have Phoenix linked to final attack just incase you die and have a reasonable stock of Megaelixirs to boot. Problem was, you need most of those materia's to be maxed out, which took forever. With Ruby, you also had to go into a random battle first and kill off 2 characters, this then stopped Ruby putting its arms into the ground and spawning those tentacles behind you which nick all your HP/MP. Yeah............i've played this game too much.

It's the language of a 35 Year old bloke, who wishes he was still 13 ?

Just on FF7. I've taken full advantage of the new "features" on the re-released versions and my 3 main characters are all at level 50, around 7500HP and 650+MP (thanks to some HP/MP plus Materia (maxed)) all with their Limit Breaks at level 3. I've not closed out disc 1 yet... (All in good prep for Emerald and Ruby)

Without question he needs replacing. Mowbray keeping players like Williams is one of the reasons why our season derailed so spectacularly. Credit where credit is due though, he did play well last night.

It's quite staggering really. What did we sign Rothwell for, like 250k? BB on the other hand...
