Managed to get my monthly leccy bill down to £45 per month this summer so I'd rather the cold weather not come just yet.

Let's see how attacking Carsley is when we play a team that can actually hurt us.

Sure, but the point still stands.

It's a lot easier to do in this farmer's league that Southgate got us relegated into.

Bit disappointing that McCarthy didn't let Aubrey try that 71 yard FG just before HT. He's definitely got the leg to make it.

Have the women got any more preseason friendlies lined up? Could probably do with a couple more tune-ups before the season starts.

Yes it was Lennon.

By and large I like most of the retro unis. But some things are best left in the past.

This Giants uniform is hideous. Look like crap, play like crap.

Worn only 3 times. At Luton, Huddersfield and Reading. Never won in it. And it was green and jade btw.

Legend. Big Dan refusing to board planes and ducking out of back doors to avoid having to go to Saudi Arabia. https://ghanasoccernet.com/daniel-amartey-is-a-strange-person-besiktas-spokesman-on-failed-transfers Besiktas spokesman Huseyin Yucel has expressed frustration over Daniel Amartey’s failed transfer attempts during the summer window, calling him "a strange person." Yucel revealed that Besiktas had agreements with a Saudi club and Eyupspor, but Amartey refused to board the plane and left the facilities unexpectedly, saying he preferred a move to Germany or England, despite the transfer window being closed. "Amartey is a strange person," he said. "We made an agreement with a team from Saudi Arabia, but they did not get on the plane. We agreed with Eyupspor, he escaped through the back door of our facilities. He [Amartey] said, 'I will go to Germany or England.' When he was told 'the transfer window is closed', he said 'how will it close?" Amartey, who joined Besiktas last season and made 27 appearances, struggled with consistency and has yet to feature in the new season following his exit attempt. The 29-year-old Ghanaian rejected offers from seven clubs, holding out for a potential move in January. His contract with Besiktas runs until June 2026, but he remains open to reconsidering his future.

And Dak becomes the highest paid player in NFL history, despite being just slightly above average...

People just don't think about it that deeply. At least I didn't when I was 7, which is when I first watched NFL on Channel 4 in 1985. I'm not going to change my team now, even if they have become a parody version of what they used to be (they are visiting your neck of the woods today incase you need a clue).

K-Mag to be banned from racing in Baku after getting too many points on his license. Will it be Bearman getting the gig or someone else?

The moment Stolarczyk got injured, Iversen was never leaving this window. The club couldn't leave itself with Ward as the only backup.

The Yanks look stoopid with their painted faces.

Nelson's gone to Oxford on loan to get valuable experience. He won't be twiddling his thumbs.

Thankfully sounds like Pearsall should recover. But this is grim. https://www.espn.co.uk/nfl/story/_/id/41075430/49ers-ricky-pearsall-shot-robbery-attempt-suspect-arrested

Second Villa goal is a good cross and good header. Not sure much blame can be attached to him there. First Villa goal is more concerning imo. He's almost retreated all the way into his own net. No wonder Onana had so much space.

He'll be great in the Championship next season.

Just imagine the bantz between Odsonne and Bouba.
