I’m not going to get involved in the details of the Greenwood case but I do think that clubs need to teach their young players much more than football...

Definite, no, from me.

@werdermouth That's a good point you’ve made - you’re probably right that I can’t have what I’d be happy with, without the club’s desire to be promote...

I think we’d all agree that the Championship is quite unlike the EPL. Our division is contaminated by the dropping down of the (generally) wealthy rel...

Bingo!

What if that player has made noises that he’s unhappy and wants away? I’m not saying that he has but it’s at least a possibility isn’t it? If his head...

@plato I don’t have the answers you’re looking for, except that injuries to key players towards the end of last season must be partly to blame. It cou...

@plato. Are there any aspects of our club which you feel are positive? Your regular description of players and staff without actually naming them alwa...

Stan Cummins?

I’ve seen all the games and I agree about their technical ability. Toone’s goal was a cracker although she may lose her place to James in the Final. ...

@Plato. Maybe he’s now receiving that coaching and will get his chance when he’s proved his worth to the Manager. I assume, of course, that you’re ref...

@philip-of-huddersfield His stats definitely don’t look very impressive - maybe he’ll prosper in a Carrick-ball system. Let’s hope so. 🤞🏻

I strongly suspect we might have done a reverse Álves with Akpom. I’ll be amazed if he gets anywhere near 20 goals this season. Hopefully we’ve cleane...

The reaction on social media to our two losses is everything I expected. I don’t think our fans are any different from other “top half” championship t...

I’ve missed your bigging up of JC, @plato - I feel as though the season’s properly started now. 😉

Fortunately, I’m home alone (apart from Ralf and he’s got no opposable thumbs) so I have a clear run. Tbf Alison is gutted that she’s missing the Worl...

I’m hoping the Lionesses are 4-0 up by the time we kick off, so that I can tune in the Boro.

Thanks for the heads up - I hadn’t realised we were on Sky. It’s left me in a bit of a quandary because my plan was to watch the Lionesses in the morn...

Best wishes to everyone who’s suffering at the moment. Let’s hope the recent (short) bout of sunshine will help to get people on the mend.

But he’ll have had a season in the Premier League, something he’s probably wanted to do throughout his career. Who would turn down the certainty of pl...

Thanks for the opener, Andy. I just hope no one is expecting those of us who’ve stuck our hands up to write some intros to reach your standards!

A few signs of disappointment creeping in already and we haven’t kicked a ball yet in a meaningful game. I’m still of the opinion that last season may...

@malcolm Nah. Having had a season in the Premier League, putting himself in the shop window, if they’re relegated and he’s proved himself at that leve...

@peter-surtees Welcome Peter. Looking forward to your posts and thoughts throughout the season.

@selwynoz Wise words. I suspect that last season was an exceptional opportunity to make it to the PL and we shouldn’t expect to be up there every year...
