The yellow curb lines indicate there is a no loading restriction which also restricts disabled parking which may otherwise be permitted on double yellow lines. Can only assume there must be a reason why they think it is unsafe for people to be parked up inches away from a junction and directly opposite another one. Verdict: mackems aggrieved as Geordie hero fucks them with the long dick of the law.

Potentially interesting body language when asked about adding an attacker. Good interview. He always comes across as respectful and as a coach that is both a teacher and a student of the game still.

Speaking to Sky Sports , Howe said: “We are still looking for one/two players that can make a difference for us. We’ll never stop until the window shuts to try and add to the group. [It’s] no secret that we’ve been looking at a couple of attacking players that can make a difference for us. Different profiles, you know, but as you say, until you get a deal over the line then we’ll continue to look and see what we can do. But as I’ve said, the pool of players we’re looking at is actually quite small, it’s not a huge amount of names. So that’s why the deals become difficult.”

Forgot they were linked with him. I did read recently about a trend of clubs allowing contracts to run down rather than sell but can’t remember the exact reason why, may have been down to league position and the difference in money maybe? I hope so, I would love him here and it may well come down to how much noise he makes rather than a difference of £5-10m in valuation.

I don’t necessarily see the urgent need to sell him with two years left on his contract. Say they sell him for £50m, who are they bringing in to take his spot and have the impact that he does for them? I’d wait the year because they’re more likely to drop down a few positions without him which could well cost them what they would lose in his transfer fee anyways.

If only it was more like my childhood. Buzz Lightyear action figure. RRP in Toys R Us was £40. They went in, slapped £65 on the counter.

I’m not from there, just a long time fan of passive aggressive Scotsmen.

That's a shame, I love an aggressive use of pal.

Probably, with the added risk of another team entering negotiations if they haven't already.

We're not far away from somebody writing Dan Ashworth erotica so I hope to fuck this transfer takes another week at least.

Anything further on Chelsea and their bid for Fofana?

I’d guess they at least want most of the fee, if not all, upfront which could be a stumbling block on our side?

Sounds like a pandemic special.

Freed from Desire hits different at the football.

Well in, have that you sauerkraut heeds.

Make the goals bigger for womens football.

Think we’ve missed a trick by not giving Grealish a clean shave and sticking him on the bench for the second half.

It’s a much bigger jump in quality from L1 to Championship than it is from Championship to Prem. These lot are going to struggle big time.

Don't think there is any significance in Botman partnering Lascelles other than to see what he is like as the dominant defender alongside someone who has a more glaring weakness than himself. Lascelles wasn't getting any real minutes the second half of last season, I don't think that changes when we've signed our main man in defence.
