How's that Out. LBW, ball tracking shows hitting the top of off stump. Goal kick.

Eh? WTF?

Sponsor would be almost twice as big probably.

Well that are number 1 in the list posted above of the top 20.

No that is Norman Wooster one of the few scouts at the club.

Be a change to have a scouting network! His job was Head of Youth Recruitment, i.e. in charge of that network and management and reporting. It's just an extension of that but as the club has only relied on Carr for so long he will have to work with Rafa to build up that network.

i'd imagine a major part of our problem the last 10 years or so would be the quality of coaching handling the younger players myself, not saying this bloke is going to set the world on fire for us but everyone going apeshit seems premature to me I agree. His role will be mainly management and admin of the scouting network.

Been at the club since 2011, before that was at Blackburn Rovers for 10 years.

Our u21 scouting in the last few years hasn't actually been that bad. The vast majority of signings at this age range are speculative and you actually expect the majority not to succeed but Perez and Aarons for example are successes.

Exploiting additional revenue streams and getting these events at SJP and not the SoL can only be a good thing. This - the ginger will sell out easily too so kerching all round! What you on about? I couldn't sell out my own front room. Have you heard me sing?

Have entered the Checkatrade Trophy.

Been watching since I got it from work, so just before Germans equalised. Both teams been crap and neither deserve to win tbh. England just sitting back but Germanys doing very little with the ball.

Yes Neesy!

FKW.

I've always thought (whether I'm correct or not, I'm not sure) it was 5% of capacity maximum, or 3000 if 5% is more than that. eg 5% of 75000 = 3750, so it'd be 3000 there, but in a 25000 stadium it'd be 1250 max 10% of capacity or a minimum of 3k seats for stadiums with a capacity exceeding 30k. I think 3k is about the maximum allocation you get anywhere these days in the PL give or take a couple of hundred. source? Premier League rule R9 Unless otherwise agreed by the Board or between the Clubs, and subject to Rule R.10, at each League Match, the Home Club shall make available to the Visiting Club: R.9.1. 3,000 tickets or, if the capacity of the Home Club’s Stadium is less than 30,000, such number of tickets as is equal to 10 per cent. of its Stadium capacity; and (whether or not that allocation is taken up)

But allowing standing at a level where you can already stand could hardly be described as unprecedented. It's got to be something more than that, hence the reference to laws that have been around for many years. It can be by secondary legislation by Order, so quite straightforward should the relative minister be willing to do so (i.e. the minister can do it and does not need to go to Parliament to do so).

Pleased they've changed their mind (having earlier said 3,000). No way will they sell out every week.

Another example of how far behind our social media game is.

Don't believe it until we see a Ben Arfa style photo.

Normally staggered return over first week of July. Lascelles back already.
