    Rapha - Under 21's Match

    He had one good surge forward but nothing else aside from that to write home about. I think it was his first game so unfair to judge him based on it. Understandable that he's not up to speed. He's been bought in for the 21s hasn't he so I guess he'll play at that level for a while before moving...

    David Coote (Former Premier League referee)

    One of the best refs around. He was very good in our play off semi. It now appears he’s also a top bloke too.

    OFFICIAL: Mark Robins has been sacked

    Staggered by this. He’s made some odd decisions but this one makes no sense at all unless there’s something big behind the scenes or there’s another manager becoming available. Unless Corberan, Edwards, Carrick or Rhol are on their way there’s no one in our league that would have a chance of...

    It’s daddy day care for a week or so. Wife’s in the Maldives with her mate. Took 35 hours door to door. Not my sort of thing. Not enough going on. Too relaxing! When she gets back I’m off to Greece a few hours later. Like passing ships.

    When Gray finally leaves I’m certain it won’t be for long.

    Great to see. From Rugby School and Bablake.

    Gyokeres to Man Utd

    Can’t see him going there. No Champions League for this season and almost certainly for the next one too.

    Dorival averages about 6 months in each job he takes (he’s had 26 of them!) and has been the Brazil manager since January. I can see Pep taking that on for a year from next Summer.

    It was clear he had talent. As you said he just played in the wrong position. One of a few that have suffered recently due to that.

    It’s a strong possibility mate 😂

    Heading there in a few weeks you for the away game. Got a couple of spare days for touristy stuff.

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    We’ve tried to avoid it when we can. More often than not we’ve ended up at Stansted or Heathrow recently.

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    It’s got even worse since they made those coming from the station go down in the lift to queue there before coming back up again. Takes a lift out for starters.

    Sacked them off a few years ago. Awful level of customer service on the phone. Whenever I was in the store the majority of the staff were sat there sorting out problems and no one was selling anything.

    Birmingham Airport Locked Down

    Around half 12 we were in a meeting at the Hilton and were evacuated out to the car park for quite a while. Once we left there for the station the place was chaos. Loads of cars at the side of the roads as they couldn’t get into the car parks. Armed police everywhere. Mass crowds of people with...

    With EE I pay a tenner a month to use my allowances overseas. Only get charged when I use it.

    Chris hoy bad news

    Horrendous news. As you said Nick it doesn’t discriminate. 48 years old. With his wife also having a horrible illness too. Cruel world.

    Robins for England!

    Definitely not. I was disappointed when they went out like a lot of our fans. Also found that most Germans I spoke to wanted us to win it from that point. Great hosts. Was warmly welcomed everywhere we went. Just a shame they can’t sort their shambolic public transport system out!

    Robins for England!

    Desperate to see us play them and they’re the team I enjoy seeing lose the most. Seeing them win the big one again was worse for me than when Leicester won the Prem.

    Robins for England!

    I didn’t want a foreign manager but Tuchel was one of the three I wanted if we went down that route. His record of falling out with players and those above him is worrying. It’s happened pretty much everywhere he’s been but hopefully with international management being completely different it’s...
