Got tickets for the last gig at Knebworth today after being lucky enough to get a code yesterday. I can honestly see it being their last gig ever

Maybe it’s because I also support Celtic but I really like it (sponsorless of course). Overall our best three kit set since the title winning season Shame we get to play Bromley and Mansfield in them

I’m more encouraged by the outgoings than incomings as time will have to tell on those. However getting rid of Mavididi, Skipp, Winks, Vestergaard, Kristiansen, Choudhury as well getting good money for Fatawu and Monga is far beyond what I thought would happen, especially when combined with the likes of Ayew and Daka contacts expiring. It’s the youth academy lads who have shined the most however and I do think we have the basis to have a decent season which is more than I would have said in June

I really don’t like judging a player on one performance but that was bad. Players like Skipp and BDR are awful but at least they show for the ball, he was absolutely anonymous, I honestly had to keep check he was playing. He may come good but that’s amongst the worst league debuts I’ve seen and let’s face it we’ve had a few shockers recently

You might be right but until we see the guy play for us and the next three years play out we really don’t know. So I’m willing to give the guy a chance given the situation we’re in. If he helps us to promotion and championship consolidation I’ll consider that a success given our situation. The point I was making is that the players who are will to play for us is greatly reduced since the BDR and Ayew signings, so it’s not exactly like for like

I’m not saying you’re wrong, everything you say might happen but we need to realise the situation we’re in. The summer we signed BDR and Ayew (as well as giving Vestergaard a new 3 year contract) we were a Premier League side, those signings were abysmal beyond belief. Then we could have signed young hungry talent from the leagues below with proper scouting and they’d have jumped at the chance of joining us The old saying beggars can’t be choosers couldn’t be more apt than now. We are a mess, on the back of 2 consecutive relegations with well documented financial troubles. 3 years is at best going to be a year in league one and 2 in the championship. He could be a good signing at that level. To lump this decision in with the aforementioned ones in incomparable IMO

I received my sponsorless away shirt today and I have to say it’s the nicest shirt we’ve had for many years. It’s just sad that we’ll see Wout Faes playing in it away at Stockport😂

I’ve just had an email saying my away shirt has already been dispatched (I ordered the sponsorless version on the day it became available for pre order). Might get it a few days early, although it’s being sent via Yodel so I’ll probably get it just in time for Xmas!

So there’s traction now. SSN isn’t exactly the Gold Standard but there must be some truth in it now, ‘unnamed Middle Eastern Firm’, apparently . Let’s see

We’ve done really well to clear a lot of the shit from last season and getting big wages off the books whilst getting some half decent fees for players. That said, we need to start getting players in asap. I understand the financial limitations we have but we’ve just sold players for over £30m, even a third of that on 2/3 players would be great at this level

If it is £20m plus add ons that’s a fantastic piece of business in our current situation. A likeable guy and hope he goes on to have a good career but let’s not kid ourselves, he was one of the players who made the most amount of appearances for us last season and was nearly as guilty as some of the others who have already left. Last summer I really thought if we kept hold of him he’d score 20+ in the championship and he’d be the best player in the league….. I was very wrong

I’m confused, am I the only one that really likes it? Dont get me wrong, it would look better with white stripes on the arm but aside from that I love the base colour, classic trefoil logo and the running fox. I think the collar is great too. Granted I haven’t seen it in person but the sponsor less version could be my favourite away kit since the white one from 16-17

When were things good?? You could argue the season under Enzo but he would have had 4 years left then

I actually don’t mind the gold, not because I’m a big fan of gold but because it hides the stripes a bit more. Id prefer it with no stripes but Gold is less pronounced than white Still a really nice kit

Annoyingly without the sponsor I’d say it’s our nicest home shirt in years. Still won’t buy one though
