Criticising Leon Best

Wants to send out one of the keepers on loan

Ridgewell.

Williamson out for another 4-5 weeks.

Good question there about CB cover....

The fact the lower club is potentially worse off from this new rule is not on. I see how it might be a good idea for the player (better facilities, greater chance of development) but I'd prefer them to develop at their local clubs - local pride and all that.

FFS man. Idiotic tit.

What's he been saying?

Ha, it seems so.

tbh.

Rare ones.

Canny.

Tempting, have to see if I'll be free next Friday though.
