I reckon he’ll be in the squad for Walsall. Perhaps just travelling squad but I bet he goes along. It’s absolutely no different to him playing for the 21’s against Burton is it. So I think you’re spot on.

Our defence

I wondered at the time how our Finance director had managed to get the gig at Newcastle after all this… starting to think he might actually be a very good creative accountant All that stuff with accountancy periods etc. last thing he did in the role was extend our accounts period from May to June,

Golding has been called up to England U19 as a replacement for an injury

I reckon Nick Di Marco cost more than Edouard you know.

🎶Nick Di Marco, he’s one of our own!🎶

Brendan McCullum given the white ball gig as well. On the surface, excellent decision. Allegedly the schedule is easing... however I think giving him both jobs will dramatically shorten the amount of time he spends in the job overall unfortunately.

Thought this was going to be about Wilf fingerblasting McGinn!

Have Dender had some investment? Another one of those 2 promotions on 3 years clubs.

I don't think you're alone on this at all. I thought it might be because my little one is 3 now and I don't have those weekend gaps for naps etc anymore, so I rarely watch live games over the weekends. But to be honest I think it's a general drop in interest. As much as Sky are a pain, I miss the days of wanting a subscription because they had wall to wall football, from the UK, Germany and La Liga. I grew up getting home after a Leicester game, putting the late game on during dinner and then watching one or two La Liga games on Sky in my room before going to bed! Have to have about 8 subscriptions or be bothered to keep flicking between dodgy streams to do that these days . As @pmcla26 said this transfer window has just made me angry, with the Tri-angular PSR transfers and the blatant fraud, it's just not the same anymore.

I understand this in some respects, but as Ric says, on the surface of things you've got a better chance of breaking in the first team at Liverpool as a youngster than you have here, and that is a disgrace.

Not seen anyone with the ability to moan at others about his own mistakes since Kasper was here

I don’t know how many on her went Tuesday night, but he was absolutely awful at times . I get it, not match fit. But I’d agree with others I wonder if there’s a fitness thing that’s caught up with him. He doesn’t seem upset, so I’d be more inclined to think we’re managing a knock or something. We can’t afford long term injuries this season, who knows he might be waiting for a small op during the break.

Same agent as cooper and his team, agents we deal with a lot too, think it’s a post maresca signing, probably a glover find. Maybe even Cooper went to watch some Serie A during his break.

I guess the annoying thing is he’ll probably say he got it wrong today again, 2 out of 3 games and both at home where he’s meant to be good. Not ideal! When we’re at home, I don’t care who we play, I want us to attack. That was pitiful again first half today.

I advise taking yourself to Everton Twitter. It’s a lovely tonic

Can a mod edit the title to include “Aston Villa training session” please

Teflon Jon will be loving life today, reading some of this

Most media is done hours before a deal is finalised. Dan James is a good example. Did all his media at Leeds and then shot off to United

Shush you

I think Sterling gets Arsenal over the line this year. Done well to get that deal done.

I was hoping they've drafted Vardy in.... it's in the tunnel and he shouts "ooooh palace friends!!"

The Athletic just hired every local team journalist from Reach PLC when they came to the UK. He never had sources before and he still doesn’t now.

6 of his 7 goals last season were under Roy to be fair. He played under flasher but only scored once…. Was more on the left though.

Contract is up in the summer, so if it is a loan and it goes well we’ve basically got him for free. Unless he is signing an extension as part of the loan?
