Paninistickers

Yet county's social feed celebrates when they get called up, in the way they would if they got an international call up. I'm not naive. County are shareholders in this wretched tournament, hence their enthusiasm for it's success. But a bizarre conflict of interest.

Didn't realise they weren't playing. I refuse to watch it. But what a debacle. They gets their money, fairs. But a total abdication of development as per by the ECB. Surely they can't be a governing body so opposed to it's own sport. It's been 20 years now of scandal from them, ever since the famous ashes home series

What a shame. Sheff Utd got a really decent lad there.

You're right. I was being facetious. I loved Kels to bits but he HAD to play in a two and effectively have a roving free role Point is, we already have a Fofana in Daka. We'd be better off with a theoretical Kels + Daka rather than Daka + Daka

I'm a fair man. They can live where they like. But not there. The whole world.. billions of square miles. I'm just geo blocking a miniscule 15 mile radius of that vile place. I'm.sure there's somewhere else in the world other than west bridgford that does a nice latte and eggs Benedict

He's garbage. May as well kept Kels.

You jest - but it's funny as so close to the truth I'd ban it - living in Nottingham that is - contractually. Part of the deal playing for the club is to represent it's community too. 20 players pumping 2m a year each - ie 40m per annum in the economy of that red filth city is unacceptable.

Bearing in mind we are again likely to be vulnerable at corners with Mads' height, I'm surprised he wasn't handed a chance. And one look at the video from Brentford and Newcastle away in the relegation run in shows how valuable he can be in a low block. It's been a disaster for him. I wish him well. But Sheff Utd really is the pits of a.move. Total knackers yard for players. They play the same old garbage Yorkshire players and Yorkshire managers for decades; Billy Sharp and that fella Chris someone at the back.

I like your stuff @davieG but is this satire? 'get home and lock the doors'....do you live in a down-market 1960s built hotel?

His wife ain't British and can't really be classed as an 'immigrant' to the UK I meant his parents and siblings.

Sunak is almost a perfect example of how immigration should work. His family embraced the UK. I'd say he was perfectly qualified to assess that many joining the UK prefer to live as they'd live at home but on someone else's turf.

The Rwanda plan would be underway and perhaps he'd have doubled down on it. Also, as a legit British Asian, he's kinda got some gravitas in creating calm. Tories were a bad bad bad government. But Sunak himself was a decent guy.

Yeh I'd guess so too. However, the club has form. They lied to Rodgers in our disastrous pre relegation summer. Rodgers was on holiday doing deals, speaking to players and came back to be told there was to be no money. They lied to Enzo too, who was clueless this January that firstly KDH might have to be sold and that we couldn't even sign a loan player. Truth is, only those at the club paying minute by minute tributes to monks, the thai royal family and assorted Thai tik tokers are you in the inner sanctum

Mate, I find it easy to detach the incompetent and sycophantic tripe that the club admin fuels itself on. The XI lads out there on the grass, the manager and us lining up for each PL match is still a buzz.

Such is football!

To anybody with the smallest microgram of football or business intelligence, it was obvious our transfer strategy this summer was to repeat last season's. Firstly we have the obvious financial constraints and secondly, frankly, anyone signing is probably signing up for a season in the championship too. And players - as proved by Mads and Winks and Stephy and Fatawu and Coady - will do that if the deal is right and the project is sold to them. But nope. We go balls out for this Juventus lad as if we were offering Europa league football and a top 7 finish. BDCR is tbf the equivalent of Coady I suppose. But where's the Stephy, Abdul and mads equivalents? I guess this lad from Italy is one, but a centre half FFS. Hardly a priority. That's the equivalent to the mystifying signing of Cannon last year. Absolutely shocking. The club is run on an almost criminal level of negligence.

That someone was Birch FFS. The Birch. Unbelievable innit? Essentially the whole KP legacy has been dependent on the untrained but common sense suggestion of a club cheerleader

Is he? Saw him for Burnley last year and he appeared very similar

100 this. A club that's spent 25m on a centre half and a young teen lad. And last year bailed out Everton with 10m on a lad we didn't need nor played. The club at every administrative level is a total shambles. A disgrace The

I think McAteer might break through, one way or the other. He looked hungry and up for it. He looked half a stone stronger.

Have to say, whatever happens, it's a breath of fresh air playing full backs. Both JJ and VK had to put on the burners and sweep round with an aggressive last ditch tackle in the second half. There's a reason 99.999% of teams play full backs and only Enzo doesn't..

Peak times need 10 carriages. Anything less are carnage. Off peak generally run as 5 or 7, which run at close to max

Tactically it was kinda interesting. It's clear VK will be part of the set up. Question is, is he good enough? The uber advanced attacking LB role is a key component and I'm not sure he's good enough. I thought we looked to have a LOT of bite in phases and had a clear structure to win the ball back quickly. Faes clearly given licence to be aggressive and dive in which leads to him being turned at times. Daka, Mavididi pressed well. Augsburg were poor. I'd rate them at Millwall level of big, strong cloggers. That's worrying that we most to garbage.. I liked Wilf back to his old role. Winks and Vesty picked up where left off. Not convinced by Fatawu. Interesting to play Mavididi just off the striker. BdcR ...hmmm, in patches.ok but a poor poor man's KDH

Not the point. Winning a downgraded one day cup mattered to people Winning the hundred means nothing to noone.
