Nowhere near ready for "Intensity!", "Back on the grass" and "Straight to work" to appear on my timeline yet. Going to pretend they don't exist for another couple of weeks.

Do you know where you found that mate? couldn't find one anywhere, but that would be class. I was planning on maybe getting a few years/a bit of success down the line and using the in game editor to drop the B team into the division I start the first team in - but not even sure if that's possible? I've watched Clayts on YouTube do an academy only save with Huesca and he did have his B team promoted after a couple of years to be fair.

Always wanted to do a Bilbao policy type save (Basque only players for them) with another club, came up with the idea of creating a fictional club in the Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Ibiza, Menorca & Formentera - basically a second home for me during the summer) and putting them into the lowest Spanish divisions playable, would like to put them even lower but there isn't a lower league Spanish database knocking around this year. Took quite a bit of editor work already but nearly ready to go

Just missed each other by a couple of months I think. I can’t see the link, Wonder if Martin actually wants him or it’s another Barry-Murphy style forward planning appointment that we never utilised in the first place.

Would I have chosen him for our current predicament, no, but also don’t really understand why he’s generally treated like the second coming of Dennis Wise on here. Bizarre.

Think this is a lot further down the road than Percy is willing to make out right now. If Nixon’s right and they’re trying to gather his backroom staff then it’s probably pretty close. Only saving grace is he might not be willing to take the job on if the club can’t get in the staff he wants.

Hope so with the way they’re going on at anyone that dares pass on what they’ve heard

Grow up.

Absolutely cracking shout that.

On the other hand, personally if I was a pro footballer and my family was doing what Maguire's has, I would be fuming. I would presume he's got no chance of being picked by Tuchel again after this.

I think this is a bad take. He's not overrated to that level - it's as simple as he's been a key player in a team that has finished 3rd and has absolutely never, ever let England down. We have picked a played that bottom half Newcastle wouldn't consider first choice in his position. Not even getting into my opinion he's our best player aerially and we are quite literally taking Arsenal's two set piece takers - that team that are the best in the world at what they do. Edit: Sorry, I know you say you'd have taken him so maybe this is aimed more at those that are categorically against it - which from what I've seen is quite a few

I make it Pickford, Henderson, Trafford James, Livramento Stones, Guehi, Burn, Konsa, Quansah O’Reilly, Lewis-Skelly Anderson, Henderson, Mainoo, Rice, Bellingham, Rogers, Eze Saka, Madueke, Rashford, Gordon Kane, Toney, Watkins

As someone pointed out, Can’t remember if it was here or X, they’ve conveniently only been found out for the games where they didn't end up winning. There was defo more.

Eagerly awaiting the news drop of that appeal

Heard there's a few opposition teams that have been left shocked with how either Southampton turned up doing something completely different to previous games or have adapted immediately to something new done themselves. Don't think this a one off, throw the book at them.
