The EFL Cup is the League Cup. But yes, if our under 21s got to play them in the EFL Trophy (Checkatrade Trophy) that would be f***ing hilarious.

2015/16 lost 1-5 Cisse 2014/15 drew 1-1 Cisse 2014/15 won 3-2 (aet) Riviere 2, Dummett (LC) 2013/14 won 3-0 Cabaye, og(Gabbidon), Ben Arfa 2009/10 won 2-0 Nolan, Ryan Taylor 2004/05 won 2-0 Kluivert, Bellamy 1997/98 won 2-1 Tomasson, Ketsbaia 1994/95 won 1-0 Beardsley

Remember the Ginger Pirlo comment? people can get it so wrong. Bloody Roy Hodgson.

Yes but he has an (albeit relatively posh) Geordie / North Eastern accent.

no this is him: http://www.bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/13952293.AFC_Bournemouth__Could_Jay_Coppoletta_be_one_of_Cherries__new_investors_/ his wife & mine are friends & our kids go to the same school, which is where i saw him yesterday. he knows i'm a big newcastle fan & asked me how eager i was to get rid of MA. i told him my strong feelings & he said that the people he knows weren't that convinced by amanda stavely & that she was more interested in the attention... he did think that Ashley wants to sell & would probably take less than 300, maybe 250... Ah fair enough. Been reported quite widely that she likely wouldn't have the cash to go straight away. Time will tell if she's a bullshitter or not.

That's quite a simplistic way of putting it. She's pulling together a consortium of backers - if she needed to pay £300m tomorrow then she probably wouldn't be able to. Her claim is that she has agreements in place and could get it within 10-14 days once a price has been agreed. Did your casual and credible friend happen to attend the press forum at the Irish Centre?

Good. Fat Sam only wanted him to not go abroad as he wanted him to go to a club in a deal where his agent mates made a killing. Corrupt wanker. He fucked off Ravel Morrison because he wouldn't change agents to his bent one.

That shot from Tosun

I listened to the whole thing on the drive up to Newcastle last night, really made the first half of the journey go in no time and helped me keep to the speed limit (fuckers have turned on all the cameras on the M1) so set the cruise control at 70. I will make a donation to the foodbank now, and urge anyone else that has listened to do the same.

Mark Douglas, he's from Yorkshire.

Obviously helped by who their manager is.

Pickford

Good goal by Arsenal.

Brilliant goal by Brighton.

In and out all afternoon.

The Brighton v West Ham has been a great watch so far.

This will be perfect to have on for my 230 mile drive this evening.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42914906 Findings from that inquiry - including reported claims that Beardsley used racial language against several African players in the academy - were expected to be made public a fortnight ago but have not been released Hm - "extended" in terms of looking more widely at Beardsley's behaviour, or extended in terms of looking at other coaching staff as well? Article states all levels of the club.

Just seen Palace have suspended their academy director on instruction from the FA. Presume that must be a safeguarding issue. Gone very quiet on the Beardsley front.

Atsu did play on the right at times. E.g. that brilliant goal at Rotherham.
