Definitely a pen. Mitro is having a storming game so far. Lovely hit, fuck off Liverpool.

On the Salah boost for the early.

Trent defends like a little baby

Get up there. Lovely start to the weekend

Took White 2+ tackles and card 10/1 with Sky, just need the yeller now.

Wonder if we'll try a third bid or not. If we don't end up getting him I fear anyone else we get will feel distinctly underwhelming by comparison even if they're actually a good signing.

christ almighty, you can tell its school holidays.

Definitely an appetite to sell at the right price if Leicester didn't tell us to get tae fuck after the initial 35-40+ bid, I don't care what Permatan Brendan says. I reckon they negotiate a couple more million out of us and he'll be in a toon top by next week.

Couple of singles for tonight C Clark 1+ SOT 15/2 (PP) Cathcart to be carded 7/1 (Sky)

Open For Business

Guess it depends on what the add ons are and how likely they are. Will be a tad more realistic than me promising £25m when my new right back on FM has scored 50 goals for the club so I can get them for next to nowt. You'd assume 10/15/20 goals in a season would be one, perhaps another for assists, team of the season, England caps, maybe a "makes X league appearances" & ones for if we qualify for Europe. If they're a mill or two each it suddenly starts to creep towards mid fifties and we might get a deal. Who knows!

2+ shots on target per team per half boosted to 7/1 landed nicely in the treacles final.

Maddison would be one hell of a purchase.

Seeing these Everton signings is making me confident they'll have another go at getting relegated under the Fat Tory again.

Norwich away at Cardiff 7/5 on Saturday, good price and will form part of my acca.

Let's not forget, this will be the first summer transfer deadline day in about 15 year where we will have our eyes open and react to the market, where if someone becomes available who we want we'll make the move. None of this "closed for business" bullshit we've been fed for years. I reckon we get a striker in the next week or two and then a right winger arrives later on, possibly even a loan deal.

Would love to know what this carthorse eats for a pre match meal, a Christmas dinner followed by a Ferrero Rocher tree and a few glasses of rioja by the look of it.

Schar's right to be mad there. Fouled twice, a cynical off the ball trip... no card. I hope Jow is waiting in the car park to deck the stupid cunt.

Bondswell has given a decent account of himself so far I think, not looked out of place.

Almiron and Trippier having one hell of a match here. That was the most un-Almiron finish too accurate and with some power.

Was never a free kick that, so naturally it goes in. Not sure this is going to do Pope's confidence much good his position seemed a bit odd.

Miggy in fine scoring form this pre season like. Lovely pick out from Tripps.
