He's a dad isn't he? It changes some people's attitude to getting hurt. That's my theory anyway. He seems like a nice lad, too nice probably.

What we can say with some certainty is Ashley has been the only person to profit from the Arena since it was built!

The accounts weren't published in May (as 2024) for the Arena, I don't know why not. I don't think anybody knows but he's not far wrong that's for sure.

He was referring to somthing that he'd read, wasn't he. Personally, I think he's in the right ball park, I speculated on £40m+ upthread so maybe that's why!

He played very well against us certainly but we also made him look good really by giving their defence too much time to organise. Much as we did with Ballard, he's nothing special.

You can only play what is in front of you, they were far from shit. We couldn't score against a side that's conceded 5 in two games! It's really far too early to be making any predictions.

Seems all important to us but it's just detail. What matters to him is just the line in the accounts accounting for player sales.

Dead right. A little push before jumping here, a shirt tug there, just relentlessly. The first corner came from a clear handball, the stadium went up for it but not the ref nor the Lino, who was right next to it and looking the right way. It's been cut from the highlights reel unfortunately so...

Lampard has had every chance to bring in his own person, especially over the summer, so it appears he's happy with what Aled is doing...

Leicester looked quite useful on opening day, the way they won from behind in the second half was pretty strong. Better than us against Hull tbh!

Grimes put one on his head perfectly from an early corner. I'd rather give a kid a chance at this stage, Simmo can't be ahead of Obikwu on merit

Being sent home injured will have done him no favours. It's better for us that he doesn't go just now, I think there's more still to come from him.

When Haji came on he looked like a thoroughbred next to poor Ellis's Blackpool donkey.

Bloody cool on the Birmingham Canal though, dodging all the trollies and the dead bodies...

A cuddly toy and a poxy hostess trolley. Why on earth did they never gamble?

It'll be interesting to see how the finances are operated in future. It won't be called "rent" if they have any PR sense but they'll be some cost to the football side of the operation for the use of the stadium I would think. That's just how accountants work. They'll need to account for running...

I think the club will be disappointed with that if the rumours that they offered him to Wolves were true.

Left back in the changing rooms!

He's only averaged about 10 league games a season for the past 3 years though so 14 injured is a big fraction!
