Can we stop saying people wouldn’t be happy if we signed world class players? It’s absolutely well tiresome. Ta.

Dolan being muscled off the ball far too easily, lad needs to get on the weights. Shout out to the ref too. Absolute lamb shanker.

Got in mega late owing to a couple of crashes on the A59, get to my seat to see Kaminski fuck that up. Happy Saturday…

I did not, but that’s one for next time. Whilst it’s apparently more of a Porto thing, I had a Francescinha sandwich. Absolutely incredible but sure I could feel an artery clogging up while eating…

Had lots of Vinho Verde a few months ago in Lisbon- I can confirm it’s superb.

If Mowbray went to Sunderland, at least he couldn’t complain about being far from Middlesbrough- despite knowing where the club have played for the whole of their existence.

I’m not totally against the Caulker signing, seems like he’s turned his career around over in Turkey. Having said that, we would still need another centre half, given his injury record. We don’t need two Ayalas…

If we sell players and don’t use the proceeds to improve the squad then that tends not to end well….

If we get £15 Million for BBD and we don’t spend it on players, (wages or fees) then it’s not gone back into the playing squad. That’s about the size of it!

If he’s breaking speed limits in a big way, then it’s an hour and a quarter! Otherwise, probs nearer two hours….

Poorly worded from me in a hurry- I meant that it won’t be going back into the playing squad.

Well, wherever it goes, it won’t be going back into the playing squad, I’m sure we can all see that.

If we sold BBD and reinvested the money into the squad with players we already have lined up, it wouldn’t be ideal, but I’ve expected him to be on his way for a while, really. Just to be clear- I have absolutely no confidence in our hierarchy to do this though. The Armstrong money went unspent and I think the BBD cash will go the same way. Saying it went unspent is easier to pacify fans, but I think we all know it will be getting trousered.

Seems unlikely- I don’t think we need to be calling everyone moaners just for having a different opinion to be fair.

Some are negative, some are positive- you said it yourself, people have different opinions.

Toxic? Don’t be so melodramatic. It’s hardly that deep- people are just passing comment on what they think so far.

VVD has looked poor so far this season for me. He’s obviously been a major reason for their success in the last few years in his defence. Every time I have seen Elanga play for United, he’s looked a real threat and he’s making TAA’s life hell tonight. Though he has been showing far too much of the ball to him in one on ones…

Strong start from United and a very calm finish from Sancho. Liverpool absolutely nowhere in this game so far.

I agree, but that has nothing to do with what I was saying. If JDT keeps asking us to ask Greg, then either, Greg needs to put his head above the parapet, or instead, JDT needs to say, when there’s something to update you with, we will.

No, it isn’t. But it is a bit frustrating that JDT is asking the press to ask Greg, but Greg is missing in action and not taking questions. This setup isn’t something we’ve had before, it’s typically been the manager being in charge of all of this transfer stuff. Not outsourcing it to someone else…

Best get a wriggle on then, we’ve 9 days left of this one…

Think there seems to have been some confusion re Morgan Gibbs White and his fee. It’s £25 Million plus add ons. Don’t get me wrong, it’s too much still, but it’s not a flat £45 Million.

TBC. Can’t be far off though, unless Mr Broughton pulls three players out of his hat later today!

There had been that much risky passing around at the back in this Chelsea and Leeds game, it’s no surprise Mendy has mugged himself right off just now and cost his team a goal! My fantasy football team was going really well until just then….

In terms of fan base, they have a much bigger one than ours in fairness. Granted they have a bigger population and catchment area like!
