His interview about his daughter from a few years ago is both inspirational and heartbreaking. Seems like a great man as well as coach and whatever my misgivings about their ownership I’m delighted for him. And what a team he’s built

That’s what I would do, although I think we really need another LB too (unless we see Ferdi as that).

I went with my partner at the time and her brother’s best mate was a Bristol fan and so we met some of them the night before (stayed in Cardiff for the weekend to make a weekend of it). They were SO confident beforehand. It was delicious to beat them.

I still have my Brighton St George Flag with “Prescott, give us a ground” and my drawing of him. The fact I drew him minus a few lbs I still believe may have swung it for us

Maybe to pay for the coat rail?

This is true, and I had us down to finish around 12th pre season. A new inexperienced manager and a lot of new players to bed in. So I think all in all it’s a pretty good season.

I agree with you about the #9 thing. Looks best in the left side attacker role to me. So ironically would stand to benefit if Mitoma leaves

Bart well on track to post similar numbers at the other end

I can cope with Pedro being sold for a big fee. I cannot cope with Mitoma being sold. My favourite ever player I think.

I have a friend who works for a National newspaper who’s usually pretty reliable and has told me this is probably happening 😢

I think the issue with Pervis is that the role he’s asked to do requires a lot of lung busting runs to get back into position. Until recently, I think his fitness has not been back at the level where he can do that. And nothing winds up a home crowd more than seeing a player look like he isn’t...

Agree with all of that

When did the whole guard of honour thing become a thing? I’m sure it didn’t happen when I was growing up. Stiff handshake and get on with it.

We seem to be obsessed with signing FBs who are actually wingers (Barco, Ferdi, now this guy, and Pervis seems to have forgotten how to defend). I feel like we need a couple of FBs who are actually FBs.

I’m mostly worried about this one. It feels like a “he wants to play in CL, can’t stand in his way” situation, a bit like Dan Burn. Really hope I’m wrong

What is the opposite of “bogey” team? I guess bunnies but that’s nicked from cricket really

I’m worried that City are so in and out this season. On form, Palace should probably be much shorter. I’ve resigned myself to them winning the damn thing.

On the plus side, having had an arthroscopy to clean out scar tissue (which I assume is what is meant by a “clean out”) it’s a pretty minor operation and is likely to give him much more freedom and less pain. Presumably timed so he can have a full pre season and we have little to play for now...

I’m not at all disagreeing with your main point. But I’d argue this season is the most unprecedented for injuries…since last season

I follow the Alternative MUFC account on Twitter who does good match reviews and in the Bilbao game it said “the ref evened up the numbers, leaving it 10 v 10 (+ Lindelof) for the rest of the match”. I don’t think he’s a fan
