4:12am today I was woken by the fuckers. Closed all windows but could still hear them. Ended up going outside to study where the noise was coming from (and make sure there wasn’t a nest in our roof/guttering!).

Not tried that one yet, any good?

Have you forgotten who you’re talking to?

The birds singing at 4:30am every day at the moment. Thinking about investing in an air rifle and staying up all night.

Don’t understand the overreaction to that game last night. Likely only had 4 starters for the tournament, and it was obvious some were treating it as it was - a warm-up game. Lot of people saying to start Mount, Foden, Grealish and Kane, but I think that brings a lack of pace and little running...

Got overly excited when it was rumoured that Tyler Roberts was available on loan in January. That said, given he played in almost every game after that I’m gonna chalk that one up as wholly unrealistic.

If you’d have done that whilst rubbing off on him you’d have been thrown out.

Be amazed if JWP misses out - he was meant to start against Poland but got injured in the camp.

Absolutely get that take-up would drop significantly, but is the point of the apprenticeship scheme not that you may get benefit of a skilled employee part-funded by the UKG? If they decide to move on then so be it, but you’ve paid next to fuck all for them in the first instance. There may be...

Look at who suggested the WFH crew are the ones that don’t care about wider society. That should answer your doubts.

Yeah fair. As I’m sure you can appreciate, it’s impossible to manage the wider population by this as their guests may not have had vaccines (in my case, if 25% of guests had been vaccinated then I’d be surprised!). But I get the frustration and where we can, yes I agree things should be eased...

Interesting you say that, and I’ve heard similar criticisms over the last few years. Just thinking logically, could it be reformed so that companies have to pay up the wages and then get a grant once the employee is signed up to a full-time contract? Could it be that apprenticeship contracts...

Are you sure it’s not just different stages of the same wedding you’ve been invited to on 21st and 24th? I’m due at a wedding on 26th and I do appreciate it’d be a pain in the arse for that to be rearranged given it was initially scheduled for May last year. I absolutely get BSB’s frustration...

Why not take interest-free cash though?

Indeed. Seems I didn’t read the word “subsequent”. So a net spent of £2.5m tallies approximately with what we had expected, no? The add-on is slightly lower than had been anticipated if it relates to Wilson.

Some interesting bits picked out: - Operating lease charges were £1.1m which, I imagine, includes both the St Andrew’s charges and the Alan Higgs. Increase of about £700k year-on-year. - There was apparently a net transfer spend of £2.5m in the year up to to 31 May 2020, which I find hard to...

The operating model is changing. Players are essentially stock. Clubs’ recruitment strategies are about delivering a mark-up on player transactions. So treating it as standard asset disposal is incorrect - that would lead to an ever-decreasing quality of asset, whereas the reality is anything but.

Well, the McFadzean signing, for example, was announced on 9th May. Marosi was announced on 22nd May. I wouldn’t be surprised to see movement very soon.

Where do you play?

The first one.
