    Premiership released players list

    20? Way too low. I'm all for squad caps but 20 is barely a match day squad. 40 professionals inc. U23 I'm all for. get that young talent spread out and playing mens football earlier.

    Rob Gurney podcast

    I went to the game with my then girlfriend at the time - always useful to have a fellow fan as the other half! First ever trip to Villa for me too! Only downside was we were sitting in the Villa section. Dwight Yorke went past and we were the first two to clock him - he was their best player...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Indeed.People making stuff up to further their own cause is as old as history itself. Goes back way before the written word. Stuff like racism/sexism/homophobia weren't created with the internet - it just gave a lot of people a much easier route to spread their opinions to a far wider audience...

    Julien Dacosta - CONFIRMED

    Think he might be playing against us next year.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Stuff they put up themselves yes. But the actual social media aspect of letting everyone mouth off is impossible to police. If they do it's censorship. If they don't it's allowing people to spread lies. You can't check that much content and relies on self-regulation, which any look through...

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    As it stands: Marosi Rose McFadzean Hyam Dabo Kelly Hamer Mason Allen Shipley Godden Wilson, Pask, Dacosta, Westbrooke, Jobello/Jones, Biamou, Baka Dacosta will possibly be vying with Mason for LB and over the course of the season I can see Pask...

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    People aren't supposed to be 'cramming' into pubs. Supposed to very much be limited capacity, distanced, separated from other groups etc. Although footy is outdoor it involves a lot of heavy breathing from the exercise increasing the distance the virus could travel and unless you make it...

    Ricoh Lease...

    TBH in the current climate I'm not betting on anything. But it would have to be a major change in current thinking on the case. Every court that has heard it before has dismissed it and been pretty scornful on SISU in the process. How do you argue state aid and undervaluing when the same...

    Ricoh Lease...

    Hence why I said originally we'd get a lower rent. In the follow up I explained it by saying we'd have the rent cost less the 'rebate' for pitch maintenance = lower rent. But the 'rebate' would be for the amount Wasps would pay to maintain the pitch to their required standard. As we'd need a...

    Pubs

    and they get covered. Not to the extent pubs reopening were but as they weren't allowed it's not like you can have someone there to provide ongoing updates and reports. They could do that when they knew pubs were reopening so the reporters were on the scene ready, esp for if it ended up with no...

    Bad hair weeks

    As far as I was aware that just used to be the standard haircut unless you were having really short all over.

    Ricoh Lease...

    Because if they needed the money and the deal hung on getting the quality of the pitch we needed so we agreed to take on pitch maintenance that's a cost Wasps won't be paying for and a service we wouldn't be receiving from them. So it should be that we shouuld be reimbursed on the costs they...

    Pubs

    But those gatherings weren't allowed - these are. Supposed to be distanced etc and in some cases it wasn't and as people asked how do you police it effectively? Now, if they'd been gathered on a bridge I'm sure you'd have considered it headline news.

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    If we don't sign anyone else and keep the formation they'd be the two I'd start in the ACM positions. Other three on the bench. Think jones might be able to transition to the central role more easily than Jobello who much more of a winger.

    Championship thread

    Always difficult to judge from one season to the next but I do hope we'd be competitive against most teams.

    Is it inevitable that Robins will leave us this season?

    Would have to be a very good offer for him to go, not just in terms of wages but set up. Even then if we're holding our own next season I think he'd stay. He's got a lot of leeway with most of the fans here - somewhere else he'd have to build it from scratch.

    Chris Badlan

    22 these days is on the verge of pushing for first team or being released at the level we were at. Didn't sound like MR thought he had good technical ability and pretty much binned him of before the end of pre-season and decided he wasn't go enough. So what if he's 6'2''. Wouldn't have cost much...

    Liam Walsh

    Not saying he isn't but we've got to be planning for the next few years as he's not getting younger, tends to pick up 1 or 2 injuries a year and has stepped up a few divisions from when we brought him in. Would be foolish to not be starting to look at who could take over.

    Liam Walsh

    Yep. I think the succession plan for Kelly is well underway. Reckon he can get away with it next year if keep this formation as he's got someone next to him and lots of cover behind so any potential mobility issues are covered, but we get his experience. I think longer term they'd like to see...
