It’s for his height in defending any set pieces I suspect. Eddie alluded to it in his presser.

Giving him another 10k a week until the summer is what, about an additional 200k? Means we’ve got proper cover for the rest of the season, and from his point of view he can hopefully still get his Saudi move then.

It’ll likely just be a wage increase until the summer, rather than an extension.

You mean how do you find iPlayer on your TV? You have to go to Apps and you’ll be able to access it from there. Probably easier to just hit the red button once the coverage of Arsenal v Man Utd starts though.

So not one of the 121 Tory constituencies has a football league ground in it (apart from Bromley)?

Half I would expect and hope.

Interestingly (or not) the standard adidas Z.N.E hoodie is half the price of that one and the only difference I can see is the club badge.

No cards at Chelsea, Leicester, Brentford, Forest and Norwich today. Refs clearly being more lenient than in league games from what I saw in the games I watched. Paddy the place to go if you want to get on <0.5 cards for any of tomorrow’s games. They’ve generally priced them up at 15/2 (our game) or 9/1. They have got the Arsenal v Man Utd and Southampton v Swansea games at 25/1. Obviously the Arsenal game probably has a bit riding on it, and Tony Harrington (card machine) is the ref at Southampton, so that’s why, but still. Something to consider.

Like a kids game when one team is massively ahead.

I know going out the cup is probably neither here nor there to them this season, but that’s a throughly dispiriting episode all round for them.

They didn’t seem to have a problem paying £32 for this stage last season…

What number do we think Southampton enter at this season? I’d be surprised if they’re not top 6.

I’m not saying there’s a direct correlation, but @HaydnNUFC had his photo taken there three days ago…

Yeah, Eddie said Isak would be rested in his presser. He did say it was due to being careful with his hammy, and if it wasn’t for that he would have been involved in some capacity (sub presumably). So, aye, looks like Big Willy is nailed on to start.

You sure?

Yes, the pre-arranged pricing due to the cup scheme has positives and negatives. If they were pricing up match-by-match, I dare say it’d be a bit cheaper for Bromley, but absolutely no way it would be £20 for the semi final.

The Coloccini role.

Will he be starting though? Burn undroppable at present. Botman clearly our best defender all things being fair and equal (™️Ange). Personally I think he’ll probably go Schar and Burn, but I don’t think it’s cut and dried.

Absolutely no chance we allow him to leave before the summer.

Yes, England almost certain to get one of the extra places this year.

They do, but they also have us as heavy favourites to qualify.

Look forward to them bidding 100 million magic beans.

And only 7 points to ‘defend’ from the remaining 24.

Yeah, he’s pretty decent.

Seems very odd. I’ve no idea how he’s performed for them, or is perceived by them, it just seems very odd? 🤷‍♂️
