    25 Man Squad (not inc. U21s)

    Just looked it up and L1 and 2 only get a 22 man squad, with L2 being 20 next year! That's barely more than a matchday squad. I know players under 21 but it's still pretty restrictive. I assume the ruling is 21 on the first day of the season, rather than when they turn 21. Also didn't realise...

    You also have a desire to hide under parked cars and lick your own A-hole. Well, that's the excuse I'm going to give anyway!

    25 Man Squad (not inc. U21s)

    I think as it stands we'd fine with the entire squad because of the ages, but I wasn't aware the Championship had to formally put in a squad.

    New Kit

    Quite like all of them. Purple/yellow I think the purple needs to be darker as it looks more like blue and could be a Shrewsbury kit. Fav is the city colours one. Really stands out.

    Bury and chairman

    Not anymore. Now they've made their voice heard they've had to rescind their membership.

    Best city 5-a-side team?

    5-a-side needs good technical players. Marosi in goal - sweeper keeper. At the back you could have either Peake or Babb from who I've seen. I know a few a little older than me would chose Gillespie but only having seen him in his second stint I'd be going off reputation. Midfield McAllister for...

    New Player Incoming - Leo Ostigard

    I agree about possibly reverting to a back four if things don't start well with the back five. However I think the problem is likely to be down the flanks (esp if Dabo) is still out so if we go back four we then have to change what's ahead of them to give them cover. At the moment I could see...

    Of course he won't get rid. Looks bad on him for appointing them to begin with. As you say they're chosen for their loyalty. In fact pretty much every Tory that got returned is because they had that 'Brexit pledge' before the election which was really just a pledge of allegiance to Johnson (and...

    If you did this though you'd have to get rid of pretty much the entire cabinet. Patel, Jenryck also would have to go. And once you start looking at how many of his appointments have been shite it points the finger at who appointed them and how good their judgement is.

    The man so immobile they named a car park after him.

    Gareth Barry

    He was alright as a player. A good prospect in his younger days. Then the rest is down to being a solid, hard working pro willing to take care of himself. Someone I've appreciated more as time has worn on, like James Milner. Not a superstar but someone you want around.

    Nationalism

    Some of it in the early years will be due to spending longer in education than their parents but the days of a decent wage for unskilled work are gone.

    Nationalism

    I agree. They're talking about the death of High Streets (which began long before this) but ignoring the local community shops that will have been doing better. IMO would be far better to reconsider city centre's/CBD's as less as the business hub and more like a new housing development but with...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    One thing I'm struggling to get my head round is this "sell TikTok to a US company or we'll ban it" from a party that is supposedly small government. They're literally trying to tell private enterprise who can and can't own them. Part of me would love them to sell it to a company from another...

    But you will at some point in time seen Sugar advising the government on business. Oh, and Phillip Green. So greedy narcissists seem to be the desired outcome for UK business.

    Twitter

    There is an element of that at times. Like with that tweet it wasn't so much the questioning of whether Jones was good enough, as a lot of this board is about giving opinions on player ability, it was more the tone in which it was written which came across as quite nasty.

    Ex Player Watch

    Depending on the level he coaches at. Lower level he's got more clout having two L2 promotions to his name but above that he's basically no more than a solid, hardworking pro. Keane at least had major silverware to back it up.

    Match Thread Sky Blues v Boro (double header)?

    Striker next before DCM I reckon. But likely to require one of the current ones to be out the door to accommodate (almost certainly Max)

    Shipley's not big on the tackling though. Neither are overly suited to the role.

    Match Thread Sky Blues v Boro (double header)?

    It's more than O'Hare and Jones will play in a very similar way. If we're looking at two ACM's IMO you're better having more of a mix with one who will take players on and one who will either play passes or look to get beyond the striker. Unless Jones is going to be asked to do the latter he's...
