They want £25m for him, so in reality he’s cost £12-£15m at best even with the 40% sell on. Much more likely that Ashley would want to pocket the £10m sell on fee and sign someone like Josh King for nowt.

Win 1, draw 1, lose 2 of those.

If by identical job they mean completely rebuilding a failed team, getting them promoted at the first attempt in a tough league where half the recently relegated teams still are stuck, kept them up the following season with virtual an identical squad, improving on that in the second season in the PL with pitiful investment and the same midfield and defence as got them promoted, as opposed to taking said team, having £100m thrown at it and a stash of attacking quality, making them woefully defensively and worse going forward, and finishing on the same amount of points as the newly promoted team, then yes. Identical.

Just had an email to say I’ve still got my semi final tickets. Buzzing!

Maja to score the winner to send us down.

Think we’ll sell MLongstaff for about £8m and then regret it within a couple of years.

It seems like they’re doing the cancellations by order number, if you check Twitter there seems to be an obvious pattern developing

Nah, he’s spent years trying to establish himself as a regular at his boyhood club. He’s not going to give that up as soon as he’s finally established his place. He’s going nowhere.

Absolutely agree. Losing 5-1 to Middlesbrough last year was in no way whatsoever a precursor to the season we’ve just watched.

Did you get an email? Had nothing for mine for the semi yet.

But Ryder said that it’ll be done and dusted by June?

Hauled off after half an hour today.

When Twitter was invented.

Has a keeper ever been booked for diving?
