Perhaps now may be the best time to mention that I think we lost every pre-season game the year we won the cup in 1987.

Only if he recovers from injury and is match fit

Last season they said we needed better opposition to get us ready to be right on it when the season started. They said Leicester's success was due to a hard pre-season. Didn't quite work out for us. Worst decisions were to play that team who kicked shit out of us during our warm weather training...

Grimes ticked most of the boxes for what we were lacking in midfield. Shame he is not a goalscorer, although he would have cost way more. Older players are sometimes a gamble because they may be more injury prone and suddenly drop off. See Godden for us. However, some outfield players can still...

That is a very definitive statement, as if you are actually have insider knowledge of what actually goes on with transfers. Do you have proof Robins definitely had the final say on Waghorn and BTA? Incidentally, the latter may yet prove to be a good signing. I have no knowledge of how things...

It was in the Telegraph (Cov) recently. A classic piece of clickbait. The club Hamer would love to return to. Not us, I'm afraid.

We are selling a player who would currently not pass a fitness test for £10 million. Yeah teams do that all the time. As the old sying goes, If bullshit was music we would have a brass band.

He was fixed to go to a higher league last season but got injured. Grimsby took him back even though still injured, as they were so impressed with him.

Ok the intern was on that one. They are usually more reliable than social media.

Ipswich smashed us with their second team in the cup. You never look any further than the parachute payment clubs who will be at the top unless Leicester have a massive deduction. I think Luton were an anomaly last season. We have a good squad but will teams just park the bus? Our end of season...

Well the BBC have been duped then. Lets wait and see.

Vik is clearly kicking off to get a move. Reports say Vik is willing to take a hit on his percentage of the fee which shows a player who backs his own talent. Think Sporting will have to accept a drop on the amount they want or have a very unhappy player. Probably still be a substantial sum but...

Vic looks increasingly like a done deal, but unfortunately, the fee is no longer as high as we hoped. Gus may still move but we cannot rely on it happening, as last season was the optimum time for him to go further up the football pyramid. The fringe players are currently our squad, so to move...

Wenger said building a new ground put Arsenal back years as they could no longer compete on transfers. 60k is peanuts for a ground these days. Most big projects go way over budget as well. Many new grounds have put clubs in trouble. Ours did. Think the Madejski Stadium was a particularly...

As we are at the moment looks fine, depending on the extent of Haji's injury. We need Mason Clark fully fit and firing. The worry is we lose MVE and don't upgrade elsewhere. Also, Rudoni leaving late in the window may be very disruptive. We need to improve our away record. Cannot afford to have...

I am not adverse to the traditions of brass bands, although I much prefer the New Orleans versions (see Dirty Dozen Brass Band). The Colliery bands were great but Thatcher put paid to them. Still plenty around in truncated forms in carnivals. If you are old enough, you will remember brass bands...

Am I imagining this, or did I read somewhere that Monzo are not our sponsor this year?

Where's Hackney Fox when you need him?

USA called him up for the Olympics? then was refused a Visa

Virtually all of our players did well at some time last season. Some dropped off and underperformed at times. Like most managers, Frank wants to upgrade or provide cover/competition. Toffolo seems strange as we are top heavy at LB/LWB. This idea you can just offload in contract players is...
