Not very professional from Wael is it. Following players before they have been announced. I do hope the deals are fully over the line and that rival clubs haven’t been alerted by his social media and swooped in. Who does your mate who wants to buy the club follow?

We should have strongly pushed for home fixture imo. The fiesta affects City due to the location. Why can’t they be forced to shift to midweek if drawn at home for that round of fixtures? Why should we have to shift to accommodate them? Do you really think Wael is that switched on ? What's it got to do with Wael?

I hate VAR with a passion but you've just reminded me why I thought it would be a good idea. England have suffered a disproportionate number of sh** decisions in major tournaments, most of them in my seminal England watching years: v Argentina 1998 v Portugal 2004 v Germany 2010 Dammit I still get wound up thinking about them. If you are referring to the red cards in 98 & 2004 I genuinely don't think VAR would have turned them over in this day and age. Yes a lot of play acting from the opposition but both players still lashed out. As feeble as it was. Of course 2010 is another matter and probably one of the most embarrassing errors in any major tournament. Oh and don't forget 86. Not red cards. Disallowed goals. Sol Campbell for both.

Could Southgate kill the ghost of 96. Never mind the ghost of 96, I want payback for that Lampard disallowed goal.

Only a mini-digger? Where's Fanatical? Proof there is no money for massive diggers! Brilliant news then! Today there was a full size excavator on site and septic tank has been delivered, waiting to be installed. Large piles of stone chippings waiting to be used as well. All systems go! Except no one was actually working... A septic tank??? City's training ground has mains sewage! And stone chippings? Stone? Chippings? Lansdown would have paid for enormous platinum boulders. This is typical of Wael and Starnes and Widdrington! How do they expect players to train on stone chippings!

Passed today. Mini digger working between gym and pitch. Apparently digging trench for buried mains electricity cable. Mains were installed a couple of weeks ago. There's a power line on the opposite side of the lane running along the west side of the site. Quarters supply comes off this and is buried under the lane. Comes out of the ground just inside the Quarters, connected to a transformer which is well above ground on two pylons. Then goes back underground for connection around the site. It's a three phase supply, which is handy. The gear associated with the lagoon might be 3 phase, other single phase installation could be on different phases, spreading the load. Only a mini-digger? Where's Fanatical? Proof there is no money for massive diggers!

So you're saying Aaron's father has a huge selection of male sex toys and fetish gear? That’s right. In fact, I’m due to get your mothers weekly order shortly. I know when I come round usually you have to stay downstairs, but this time I could do with a hand up the stairs. 🤣 😂

You want to play the best teams you can and win. Wanting to avoid certain teams means you fear them, as they are better than you . So even if you won the cup you would have still admitted other teams were better than you ,but you got lucky with the draw. A hollow victory. Win because you deserve it as you are the best. Fairly sure we gonna beat they Germans this Monday Yup. Germans at Wembley. Kane to come back into form and Southgate to put some ghosts to bed.

How'd you figure that? Worked well in the World Cup. We'd have gone out before that if we had won the group. Belgium won the group with a better side and got no further than us. Big deal. To win a tournament you need to beat all comers. Doesn't matter if it's next week or in the final.

In that case who cares if we finish first or second? If we're not going to beat the good teams we might as well go home at the group stage. The less good teams you have to play the easier it is. How'd you figure that? Worked well in the World Cup.

Bollocks to all that "easy route" sh**e. Win it, Wembley in the next round. Beat a decent side early on. All sounds good until that last sentence. If we do beat a decent side then fair enough I may get a little belief back, I just don't think it will happen. In that case who cares if we finish first or second? If we're not going to beat the good teams we might as well go home at the group stage.

I'm not the one telling everybody we're going to got promoted next season, anyway there's plenty of L2 strikers (only you know why you referred to the the top 7 leagues) out there available on "free" transfers so transfer fees are irrelevant anyway. You keep on with your snide comments, meanwhile, I'll keep on hoping we actually sign a striker who knows where the goal is this summer. HaHa! You specifically complained about the lack of a 15 goal a season striker. I simply challenged you to find one. We will talk budget after you produce your list. Ok let’s make it top 8 leagues as you took offence. To be fair he's sliced 5 off the 20 that other people demand.

As things stand, on paper, our strike force looks just as (un)impressive as it did last summer, surely JB can find a striker who's recently scored 15+ goals in a season? I'm wondering if JB as a manager is an attraction or a disadvantage in tempting potential players. Ha yeah "Hi, do you want to sign for my Rovers squad? If things aren't going my way I'll hang you out to dry in every press conference I do. Even if I know you've got a season ending injury. So ... how about it"?

Out of interest which realistically achievable striker signings would excite you? I was thinking that... what do fans expect? Here are the league 1,2 and Conference Prem top scorers to help anyone decide... View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentLook, all we really want is for Wael to splash some cash on a big name player so that afterwards we can complain that he's chucking money around and ... I'm not sure how but ... that means we're going out of business. Until then I just want to complain that we've only signed mediocre players and that Wael isn't splashing the cash - is that too much to ask?

There’s no way you can justify to me why Chillwell and mount have to self isolate, but none of the Scotland squad have to. Public Health England have had a mare here. The truly frustrating thing is that there's a chance Gilmour's was a false positive (hence no other squad or staff members testing positive) but to publicly admit that would cause too many issues so we have to pretend there is no such thing.

Looks in good shape to me and interesting to see him thank Mansell for helping him in the difficult times. If he is staying, let’s hope his injury issues are behind him and his potential gets realised. He looks trim because that photo was taken in 1987. Look at the state of that decor!

Harrystokes and Swissgas should enter so that if they win they can pretend it isn't even there.

LJG, I dont recall JB ever dropping him. He was injured and took the choice to take an operation after cricism which was justified for his poor performances. Glad to see the back of him which is a shame because I was excited when he signed. That's obviously revisionist and untrue. Barton slated Ehmer post match the week before he announced he was out for the season injured. That post match strongly implied he wouldn't be picked again. I can't be bothered to go back and listen to any more of Barton's whinging sh** from the end of last season but maybe it was the same one as the "I wouldn't have any of these players at Fleetwood" one.
