Mate of mine has done this with both of his ST's. Just gives the old phone to whoever for each home game.

Same and Krafth was looking really good before his injury.

Chelsea fans seemingly unanimous that he's got huge potential and the fee is good value. I can't remember many buys where the selling clubs fans are all on the same page and raving about a player.

Aye - seems it. I've been trying to speak with the box office this morning and they're basically saying they're shut and to call back, Monday - Friday between 10am and 5pm. I called at 10:30am. What a clusterfuck this is.

Yeah - was quite a few in the area near where Staveley sits at the weekend. All getting photos etc pre-match.

Yep - he does.

I thought he was one of your better players during the game tbh. Diaby also looks like he's going to be immense. I still fancy Villa to have a very good season. Mind I still don't see it with Tielemans - He just looks a yard short in everything he does to me. Really pleased we didn't sign him as he'd never have the mobility to work in our midfield.

2 Villa fans sat right behind us yesterday btw. Presume they got the tickets via the ballot. They were no bother but it was pretty funny seeing a bloke sort his emails out when our 4th goal went in.

Great today. Love the new pyros too!

Wow. What. A. Debut. His number went up to be subbed. We’d just scored. He made his way over. Was ready to walk off but Tindall and Howe were trying to explain to him to take his time as they wanted him to take the standing ovation. He couldn’t understand them and pretty much got to the sideline to be pushed back on to the pitch. He was then booked after the fourth official moaned about it. He never got the ovation as everyone was too busy celebrating the final goal.

There's no way Bayern would've pursued Kane all summer without encouragement from his end. It'll happen because everyone wins if he goes now.

I'm torn between either Pedro or DCL at the minute, as my third striker. I'd assume DCL will get more minutes but Pedro looks to be on pens for Brighton and they seem to get loads of them.

Canny profit for PSG given he's been a bit of a flop generally.

I've convinced myself he's going and that it's just Levy doing Levy things in playing hardball. Logic being; 1) This is the last chance for Levy to cash in. 2) Even if Levy manages to talk him in to signing a new deal, his value is diminishing by the day and will never be this high again. 3) They really need the money. 4) He really doesn't fit with Ange's system nor style of play at all. 5) I don't think Ange fancies him going forwards. 6) Kane looked as pissed off as I've ever seen him at times last season and he probably wants a change at this point. I'm 99.9% fancying he goes...

Have been anticipating a link like this one as it makes sense from a homegrown perspective and would be the Livramento/Trippier forward planning but for the GK department. Allows us to flog Dubravka too.

If Toontimes couldn't attend due to unforeseen circumstances, he could either transfer his ticket to a mate (say from here...) 9 times and sell it back to the club 10 times and still not breach the rules, right?

Can live with this as I never felt he’d work under Howe tbh but I’d have hoped for more dollar. Delighted with Barnes as his replacement.

Steve Wraith…

I'd imagine Salah to Saudi is nailed on at some point. I wouldn't even be that surprised if it was this summer tbh.

Maybe but every single kid was registered and checked in with their passports. Fuck knows. Some of them were mental big though. My youngest is on the smaller side for his age and was playing 18 months up (they play calendar years in Europe rather than school years) and I took some photos of him Vs the opposition to show the Mrs who was at home. Like Ryan Fraser Vs Dan Burn in every pic

Who would you pick if it was Tierney for £30m or Cucarella for £30m?

They've got the patience of saints those poor bastards.

No arguments with that but I'd have thought kids who are miles bigger/stronger/more developed than average should probably play up a year and test themselves.

My youngest son played in a tournament in Barcelona earlier this summer against teams from France, Spain etc and some of the opposition were fucking HUGE. Played against one 11 year old keeper who must've been 6ft 3 or 4. Another centre back who was the spitting double of Chancel Mbemba at 11 years old. Again, over 6ft . There was also a couple of French wingers who looked like Pogba - massive, athetic as fuck and bigger than every parent . They build'em different nowadays.

Thought Botman would have been £5.0m this season...
