Wonder if the Euros would have played a part in Botman's thinking? If he got the surgery in September he would have close to no chance of making the Euros

Do enjoy a full Easter weekend of football

We were but I seem to have a vague recollection that Jonas was our best performer in that dreadful end of season run

I might be misremembering but I'm sure he had a clause in his contract where he'd get an extension if he played a certain amount of games. And once that clause had expired Carver played him every game and he was one of our better players in an albeit dreadful team

You know there are 31 days in October right?

That doesn't mean he was betting under investigation?

It's nothing additional to what we already knew tbh

What about Saturday?

But that wasn't what he said, he said he was still betting under investigation when he wasn't

I don't think he was was he? The moment the Italian investigation started he stopped betting in the UK

Surely if you work in gambling you know that having lots of money doesn't stop you from having a gambling addiction?

He hasn't carried on since being found out. Sounds like he has a serious problem but he stopped immediately when he was investigated

A bit of a left field suggestion but what about Kieran McKenna at Ipswich?

He's going to struggle to wear a black and white shirt

Harsh

I do like Potter but I think international management is such a hard judge. The Brighton team he turned from being plodders under Hughton to possession based was brilliant but it would have taken him a whole pre season to train that. International management you get barely any time to get your philosophy across with all your players available and then you don't see them again for months after

I think Potter, Cooper and Carsley might be the front runners if Southgate goes

I find not giving Cole Palmer any minutes really baffling over the last two games

1000 Hartlepool fans there tonight too apparently. Sickener for them

Really tickled me for some reason

I'm wrong it was under Rafa and Lukaku failed a medical Think we ended up with that random italian left back instead Barecca?

Remember when we were pretty close to signing Lukaku's brother? Think it was under Bruce and we ended up with Danny Rose instead

I know this isn't any kind of hot take but Bellingham is incredlble to watch

Surely Jan Vertonghen is about 45 by now

I love Nick Pope but there's no way he's better than Seaman
