Sadly no but will be there with those going in spirit. If I was back home this weekend then it would have definitely been a yes.

Suddenly there was a huge roar. ‘Who’s that trip trapping over my bridge?’ and out from under the bridge loomed the Troll.

Loss by 2 goals

Gutted. We need cover imo, maybe a loan deal can be cobbled to cover his absence. Clark is ok but not for a lengthy period.

Based on absolutely nothing and with zip knowledge of the lad I am optimistic this lad is going to do well. Have no idea why, other than Rafa, but I think he could be stupendous.

Suppose a loan deal is sensible. He needs to be playing. Pickford is only 3 years older I think and Woodman really needs some proper game time in a decent league to start developing more. Massive potential. Could be worth a few bob to the fat man in a few seasons. Or end up playing in Scotland or league 1 forever.

Should have taken one for the team. We would have visited you on a rota and supplied your snout for trading. Even kept Mr Big away from you in the showers....unless instructed otherwise

Good luck with that We're won't be the target audience for the PR, the sycophantic national media publications and football pundits will be. They'll regurgitate the shit peddled by Keith Bishop and once again we'll be ridiculed as a fanbase, this time for daring to dream and being sucked in by Rafa's grandiose ideas. I can't see it working, but it's possible. Like Matt says, I think most serious journalists don't see the point of Keith Bishop. I can't see it working either. This time i think they've royally fucked themselves and are about to experience a shit-storm of hate from all quarters Let's hope so. Not many human beings on this planet deserve a shit storm more than this utter vile piece of stinking shit and his cronies. He is up there with the 'best' or worst of them.

What a time to be alive. Thank you Mike Ashley you're my fucking hero.

She's anyone's the neet She's a hugger....

Ki? Oh yeah. Not quite the panic I thought then

Then when the 11m is deemed 'too pricey' we will turn our attentions to a far more sensible option from league 2.

Huge fan of Oxlaide-Chamberlain. Have to agree re Lascelles, he seems to be the obvious candidate for right in the middle of a 3 CH system. Let's hope he keeps up the development with us and doesn't need to be at a 'bigger club' to get the recognition. I would add Rashford into that for Ali. Barkley can offer something different maybe. I still think the lad can have a huge impact on games if he can only gain some composure and calm the fuck down at times. Also despite a poorish tournament I wouldn't write off Vardy. But we need to utilise him far more effectively. Ideally in combo with a Shelvy type.

Lots of talent that IF coached right and given time can massively improve the squad. Barkley, Wilshere et al. far too talented to be 'given up' on. Looking forward to seeing young Sessegnon. Lets hope the other young talent form the u20 squad are given the chance and can develop as well: Woodman included.

But, but, but what about Andy Murray....

Interesting thoughts as ever. Pickford agree entirely Trippier ditto: really good WC for the lad and our stand out player imo. Walker; fair assessment. Has so much but not in that position for me. Gets found out at times. Stones; I maybe would stretch to an 8. Looking like he has the composure and class we have all thought for some time. Macguire; utter revelation for me. No way did I think he could perform to this level. 8.5 Young; time for him to have had his swansong. Contributed but is not the future. Lingard; god knows. frustrating player. Henderson; Yeah fair. I'm not a huge fan but he is probably integral for the next phase of development. Alli; another frustrating player. Sterling; Offers much. delivers little. Contributes more than given credit for but if we are to improve he must as well or he's another one who will be in and around it. Kane; not vintage by any standards. I think he is carrying a knock despite them saying otherwise. Lots of others to come into the squad/team hopefully. I thought Rashford was underused in this WC and Vardy wasn't used right and therefore looked out of his comfort zone/depth at times. RLC looks to have something but needs to be coached and have consistent game time. Southgate: I would go 7/8 as well. Made some errors but massively exceeded my expectations.

Agree with this. Disappointing they don't have the belief or desire to stay and work under a manager the calibre of which they may be lucky to find themselves working for again. Turning out to be quite a shitty transfer window....thus far. We are standing still at best.

Not ideal but if we get him for the season then better than nothing. We really are fucked with this twat in charge of us though. (MA not Rafa obviously)

I'll settle for Croatia v Belgium on Saturday thanks, that would be more interesting.

Gawd I hope not. Nerves shredded to hell the other night.

We just need to take the chances we create. Hopefully they fall to Kane or the other lads finish like they do for their club sides. Need to shift the ball quickly, pull them about the pitch to open up gaps. Come on!!!! Buzzing for this now.

Would be excellent news if this is confirmed.

If we can settle early and play through them and get our width flying at them I would go for a comfortable win. If we take the chances and not squander those that fall to us (Kane aside) If we make no silly mistakes at the back, especially Walker. If. This is the best chance in years of us making a real impact at the tournament. 2 nil to us.
