Can I come back please?

A big CF and a big CB please!

If last season is anything to go by I’m not expecting any new signings until the very end of this month.

Don't know how good this lad was bit he has gone to Bournemouth presumably the car park was a key factor in his decision and we retain an interest [Link]

Agree with that Nick!

Hasn't he declared his love for Catalonia?

The assumption seems to be that every manaager is desperate to manage England. I suspect that is very far from the truth, if Pep wants a country to manage why not wait till the Spain job comes up? Get a squad that aren't scared to win.

Hash- with apologies for my late reply to your message of 10am yesterday, that AI- generated list of potential candidates for the England job is a fair list but it sort of makes my point. The English candidates (Howe, Potter) would have been good shouts a couple of years back but Potter has gone from failing with Chelsea and West Ham to a poor WC with Sweden and Howe’s results with Newcastle seem to be getting worse. Pochettino did nothing with the US despite home advantage and Trump cheating on their behalf and is certainly not someone who has the solution to our problems of getting close but not being able to win things (other than winning a couple of one-horse races in France with PSG). Emery is a fair shout ( I had forgotten him) but if we did change manager (and we clearly won’t before 2028) then Pep would be the candidate that everyone was chasing, though I wonder how good he would be in a situation where he didn’t have a bigger budget than his competitors. Of course if we win the “home” Euros in 2028 Tuchel will be a hero and all of this discussion will be forgotten anyway.

Postie - No, although our women have signed a player or two from them, and they've signed a couple back.

Terry burton/mick Harford

Hash\Dazzer - thanks

Ah well looks like the FA are backing Tuchel despite his massive, basic error despite being paid millions of pounds to do the opposite. Suppose it helps them keep the spotlight away from their own value given they extended his contract before the tournament.

Mick Harford and David Kemp

Wasn't it Mick Harford and someone ?

Albeit 98/99 could be seen as the beginning of the end for WFC as Kinnear had his heart attack not long after that run of 5 Spudz games in a month and then we got relegated the season after.

Seeing as we're bookending last season and this with Huddersfield, is it too much to hope for a repeat of Spudz in 97/98 & 98/99?

Have we ever played a team called moneyfields near fratton?

Preston - to be honest, I thought you started talking about Barco for running on the pitch and possibly meant to say about Enzo getting a reducer in the PL

RK- supporters of most of the clubs they play for don’t give a toss about England.

Airsy- thought he was at Chelsea- whoops.

Five of the Argentina starting XI play for English clubs so they may find they get targeted during the Prem season

The interweb suggests the term “we go again” was ‘popularised’ by Steven Gerrard in 2014.

“his” = TT’s by the way…

Swig - yes, well done Jude, and he spoke really well too I thought. The players were genuinely gutted and I felt truly gave their all in the Croatia, Mexico, Norway, and Argentina games - they actually did care, and any disappointment they have is most likely bewilderment at his chosen strategy in those crucial last 20 minutes. Hey ho, we go again, as everyone seems to say these days - I wonder who first used that phrase, it has become a bit irritating I think…

Just seen a video of Barco running across the pitch taunting our players. Fair play to Bellingham.
