His father is from Coventry and he didn't move to Australia until he was a teenager, by when no doubt his loyalty to us had been cemented.

At least you didn't have long to wait! 🤣 A decent enough recovery in the end, thanks to Root. At least we are still in the game. It would be great if we could get another 25 in the morning to take us to 350.

FWIW transfermarkt.com value him at €12 million, which seems about right to me.

O.K. 👍 So it has advanced to the next stage of actual talks. I can't get too excited about this one until it becomes obvious that he is the next Ronaldo 😊

It was on the Telegraph website this morning, quoting Swiss sources. I may be wrong but I think the previous report just said we are interested. This one (below) says we have submitted an official offer and we are in talks...

I see we have now made an offer for Keyan Varela. Could be a good one for the future but surely he is too young and inexperienced to help with our promotion push.

Unlucky Blackburn.

Thanks for posting that. Isn't it great to see Ellis looking happy and with a smile on his face?

Two and a half players? 😊

I know that I tend to be cautious about most things in life but personally I'd play with a goalkeeper. 😊

I don't think we vastly overspent, beyond what was allowed, so I don't see how we are comparable to Leicester. We did have the administrations but, like Sheffield Wednesday, we paid the price and didn't try and wriggle out of the sanctions the way Leicester did. There were, however, a number of...

It probably makes little difference, as they were almost certainly doomed anyway. I guess it is important to dish out the sanctions in a fair and consistent manner, even if it does sound a bit like kicking a man when he is down. We wouldn't object if it was Leicester, would we? 😆

I will be very happy if that's the extent of our injury list. This one does worry me: I think it will be the hardest fixture of the season. That said, they will be thinking the same about us. I reckon there will be only one goal in it, so probably 2-1 or 3-2 but I'm not sure who the victor...

Spot on @skybluecam 👍 It was clinching fourth that made the difference. Could be quite a big difference because, all things being equal, you would usually expect Verstappen, Norris and Piastri to be on the podium. I hope Lando tries to get the win though. I think it could be dangerous to drive...

Ah, that makes a difference. They said he would need second but perhaps that was before he managed to snatch fourth place on the penultimate lap.

If Verstappen wins the final race, as I think he will, Lando needs to finish second. Could be tight. I wonder if team orders might come into play if, with a few laps to go, Piastri is second and Lando third. I suspect they will, although for me it would slightly taint the title.

😊

With Arsenal only drawing against Chelsea we currently have the highest number of points per game (2.388) out of all 92 League clubs, as well as the most goals scored and the best goal difference. 🎶We are going up, we are going up🎶 😊

I put Ellis but I honestly don't know. The one thing I am sure of is that - subject to any major injury problems - Haji, Ellis and BTA will get 50+ goals between them.

I agree, although I really don't want them to win their game in hand against Blackburn and then do the double against us. They would then make nine points on us. I'd actually be reasonably happy if we lose away and draw at home: we are clearly capable of doing better than that. If we do the...
