It does make me wonder how Everton didn’t see fit to use their £7-10m rated striker more in their relegation battle last season.

Robins answered this in his pre-Wembley profile. He was approached before Christmas to replace Venus but declined. After Slade was sacked, Robins changed his mind. (Edited to read more accurately your honour)

I loved McNulty while he was with us for a season but he hardly showed the same amount of love for us - and scuttled off to a higher level at the first opportunity. I didn’t blame him but to suggest that he in anyway compares to Gyökeres in terms of contribution and value is frankly embarrassing.

I think the dog might be trained to take a non foul throw-in

Obviously recorded last month; pre holiday haircut, sat in front of a string of BoyleSports tramline kits.

Ed Sheeran ~> Tom Grennan I suspect

It’s supposed to be the mountains. I promise to wear this and the Green/Blue away version to the CBS if Vipotnik joins us.

And the international kit before last was a SkyBlue thing of beauty

They have a reputation for goalkeepers similarly to England’s in the late 70s. They’ve produced three world class keepers in recent times (Handovic, Oblak and Belec) who would have walked into most WC squads. As for outfield players the standard is tidy and technically good but players tend...

I spend quite a lot of time in Slovenia. Vip is a promising player but he’s only played 4 international games and is far from the finished article. There has been *no* speculation there of a link to England - at least until the last day or so when they noticed the transfer bants from fans...

Beware of any breaking news that comes from Greggs. Apparently.

Interviews/auditions for manager/stewards?

He didn’t say his friend was real

“It doesn’t get to bidding stage without encouragement from the player side” is quite palpably nonsense.

Gus Is My Other Calling

Possibly but it’s not like he set the world alight anywhere else was it? I suspect that given the chance he would have largely failed to take it. There are far more serious cases of Strachan failing to get a tune out of proven players - John Aloisi, Viorel Moldovan and - dare I say it - Craig...

Salako was a decent player for Atkinson (was involved in an England squad while with us but not picked to play). He simply failed to understand what Strachan wanted him to do and their relationship fell apart. He’s mentioned it in several interviews. Shaw was a masterful defender and ahead of...

It says “fee agreed” that doesn’t necessarily mean they are paying us. Maybe we are paying then to take him.

I agree with this but v few fans were complaining at the time. He also brought Dublin, McAllister and Huckerby to the club in the first place (the last of which was sold to pave the way for Keane).
