Their getting knocked out the cup at home to a 4th division team is barely even newsworthy, wont be nationwide. That's more damning than the result.

23' has always been wasted in football. and as opposed to just stopping the clock games done alright to now without these stupid numbers.

Even so man do we want 90+23rd minute goals

Just make it a 100minute game and be done with instead the stupid amount of added on time. Just messes with perceptions as you'll be looking at 90 approaching like its full-time still just to get another 10th added on. Nearly two 10ths of the game spent in that mad-scramble last gasp mindset

Thought that just popping the radio on there. For seven minutes some bloke, obviously bored, has been whistling football tunes. Apart from that a few moans is the only noise there is.

Definitely did. On the sleeve on my tape of match, wrote simply 'hell'

Qualified for the lucrative Sela Champions League too. That'll help the coffers.

Pre-season results are generally meaningless but being unbeaten for us does play into our momentum and lack of losing mentality. Cant get vexed by that because we were well battle tested by the opposition we played too.

Gnonto is well worth a punt at that price but FFP means you cant really take a punt now. Its got to be someone you're convinced will be in your longer term plans lest they become more of a burden than before.

Cos he only performed once a year?

Hard to believe our commerce only flatlined for 14years really.

Home friendlies. Did one against Barcelona in 02 and got hooked on it. Had two in the previous 10years, one was Juventus, the other a favour to Gateshead/Blyth. Unless its a testimonial can just bin them off. Nearly every single one has been naff.

Had a dream about the group draw last night. We ended up in a group with Torino and Bologna. So not exactly a premonition

Last episode the day before the Champions League draw? Quality tie-in-manship Far more looking forward to the latter to be fair. It hard to watch these things at times cos your arse is on the line, its a bit like being one of the main matches on match of the day back in the day sort of pressure, or hosting a tournament nerves.

Bound to. Seen one rattled c*nt the other day getting frazzled by the taking of a photo. Cos instagram is exclusively populated by Mags.

Thinking outside the box here, how about something radical like stopping the clock. Instead of this 90+13 bullshit.

Rocked up in a suit for the first time in years and on time for work for a change, for a job he was begging to be sacked from. Was that his idea of front foot resigning or something?

If that's close to the case there can be no arguement about selling. Mind if that had been on The Manager/Champ Manager/SWOS back in the day I don't think I could have been arsed.

Great problems to have. Strength in depth has arrived, in that department at least. Its a cop out but the amount of games, the amount of subs, starting doesn't mean all that much now, a matter of who gets the lion share of the game this game/week.

He's a free hit for the squad, which were really going to need this season, so am happy to keep him. Squad depth was my biggest worry last season.

Tie They're supposed to hate those in sport over there.

First friendly I can think of against a team in our own division

Little is more certain than the view will be "that looks absolutely crap" from the same people whose documentary about a rinky-dink mudshow could easily have been a parody who claim it nevertheless put them on the global map whilst attracting a whole new catchment of support, particularly in Papua New Guinea

I'd definitely have no qualms about playing Manquillo in cups games, has looked good/useful much of the time he's got a sniff. Lewis looks completely shot if he ever wasn't.
