I haven't a clue mate.

You need to give yourself something to look forward too... 😉 Every credit to you. Enjoy it as much as possible, whether it's long-haul or a night away in the next town.

I suppose I could do Jordan in June and Rhodes in July...

Rhodes book for July.

Where you live Bob? I also live nearby and would go if i'm at a loose end. Although i'm playing golf early doors on Saturday and suspect the missus will put her foot down on this one.

There's a famous old quote: 'Team spirit is an illusion glimpsed in the aftermath of victory.' I reckon the same applies to fans feeling entertained.

If they have misrepresented the nature of the spend its because they've been 'forced' to do so through rules that would block them from progressing as a business (I know...) The obstructing of the enquiry is - sadly - a classic rich mans tactic. Keep pushing till the other can't afford to carry...

For all the moaning and groaning about City. This is the real point. City are solvent and can afford to spend the obscene amounts they spend. Other clubs are blatantly not.

I think there's a lot of sense in that LA. Understand that the fear of the unknown will make people nervous and negative but players will leave and others will come in. The big issue for SS and the board is that this season has seen people walking away because the quality of football hasn't...

Yeah, and looking at them from the outside as a neutral I think 'what the fuck are they doing?'

In the hotel next to the ground there was a lad who seemed to have some sort of seizure or fit. People got him comfortable and in the recovery position. Paramedics arrived eventually and I presume he was taken to a&e. Just hope everything is ok. 👍

I think one of the obvious points around our ability to create and score is whether you believe the players are utilised in a way that gets the most from them. I don't think that's been the case with any of the strikers/forwards. Rhodes 'worked' because he's a class act who can finish all sorts...
