Just been in a bar with a screen showing the Womens u17 final - North Korea beat Spain in the final. The NK team all have absolutely identical haircuts. Romania 94 vibes, but with extra dystopia.

Please do! There is more to come on the Trust’s ownership % and how they are raising funds. It will be a hard season on the pitch but at least the ownership nightmare is over.

#cansofLCL Shame about Stockdale but I assume they have someone lined up. The lads involved are genuine supporters and i’m delighted the club is back in the hands of people who care about its future. Relegation is more than likely, but that’s a secondary matter today.

Gives them some optionality. You would expect them to hoover up any parcel close to the ground they could.

Maybe my memory is failing me but I seem to remember we never properly recruited a RB that summer and he was thrown in. I was sat in the SE corner at the time so got a few 45 min masterclasses of full back work.

Lots of folk remember him by his purple patch in CM but i can’t get away from his first few games at RB. I mean he was no right-footed Wayne Quinn but he was so inept at PL level, getting stupid bookings and then being unable to tackle for the rest of the game. I guess he found a niche as a basic but plucky emergency CM- an earlier Hayden- but I can’t look back favourably on this guy. We should have had better as with 100 other similar situations under Ashley. I’m glad he at least had a good time playing here and looks back on it fondly. But like Leon Best, I can’t understand the cult hero status afforded.

Wayne Quinn vs Troyes, Intertoto 2nd leg.

Sounds like Blyth just have too many young lads for that level. it’s not looking good.

Totally agree. He also showed second half why he shouldn’t be trying mazy runs, but moving the ball out of his feet and cutting in he’s very effective.

Glorious victory for the convicted racist.

Canada’s performance is incredible considering the appalling management of funds into the grassroots here. It’s MLS or nothing for too many players. Womens league will embarrass the men when it launches in 2025.

What does a great keeper save you in a season? 15-20 points? This guy has saved us 10 and he doesn’t even have to play a game.

You are missing the point being level headed about this, everything is terrible and wa fucked.

Yeah it would have been insane to have our PSR compliance dependent on a deal with a club who could directly benefit from a points deduction. If we had to, we’d have shifted another player.

Horrible penalty shout at the end there. He should have announced the VAR decision in stocks.
