Corky

At least someone bothered to check the BBC Sport league pages this time.

At least he is here in time for our friendlies against Burton, Reading, Sheffield Wednesday and Mansfield.

Ian Stringer and Russell Martin are aligned

"Widespread recognition". Just not at virtually of his previous clubs.

The Cape Verdians were standing to attention

THERE ARE CAPE VERDIANS EVERYWHERE, STANDING TO ATTENTION, WAITING FOR THIS WHISTLE

Please hold on, the Rodri meltdown will be of epic proportions.

Yeah, I wasn't really going for a workers v shirkers thing, more trying to understand which industry was even half respected and I couldn't find many. There are bad apples in all walks of life.

A good Football League manager. What was noticeable in the tributes, especially from Swansea and Wolves, was the reflection of him starting a rebuild or improvement to where the club ended up. These people are vital, as we know through the likes of Little and Pearson.

Who constitutes the "hard-working people of this country"? You know, the types that the tabloid press will champion but never specify. So, teachers? Too many holidays. Doctors? Always striking. Ditto binmen and train drivers. Civil servants? Yeah, ok. Builders and roadworkers? Immensely popular. Plenty of other industries are either woke or pointless like energy based or helping people. Struggling to find the definition here.

Mate we are all at least 35 on here.

AH THENK IT GOES THROO IZZ LEGZ

Gravenbeerrrrrkkkk. Jon Champion going Scouse.

Let's have another hydration break.

The Ecuador national anthem by Sash is fantastic.

I would avoid TalkSport when Jim White is on tomorrow, crying that the English aren't saying how amazing the Scotland result was.

We'll know more after his Soccer Special chat with Jules next season. "I went in there and, you know, it's a great club and top players and I felt we could do it, give em a lift. But it was clear we couldn't. Not having a go at anyone but the players lacked everything and then the crowd turned and it's tough. A tough job but one I had to take on. Great club and they'll be fine under Russell, Jules".

Choudhury, Thomas and Okoli trying to play his style will be brilliant entertainment.

This is the one. No more excuses. The board have wanted this for three years, this is no late fall back option when the first choice fell through. If this fails then they have nowhere to go.

I don't think it will be but expectation will be high. I don't see why manager getting a lot of leeway managing the club at this level. I do wonder if having the first couple of matches (League Cup and League) away might help. Get a couple of results early then the fans might settle down for home matches.

Almost as though we are expecting a rough start but why? He will.have a full pre season, we are two months from the league campaign beginning. Maresca had a great start, even Cifuentes did ok in his first six results-wise. Why shouldn't we expect a good start?

As it looks like Martin will join and we already have a thread about it, I'll lock this. Don't need two open.

Which of our current players suit his style? Vestergasrd, Winks? I cannot see Thomad, Okoli, Choudhury and Stolsrczyk becoming comfortable metronomic passers. Plus we basically need a whole new attack.

Bit rich of the BBC commentators to criticise other broadcasters for endless crowd shots.

I'm sure she will get more recognition than John Robertson.
