Same final as last year but hoping for a different outcome 🤞

I don’t agree with you; Hants v Sussex is a very long running rivalry. My Dad (aged 93) dislikes them because of how they used to ‘Lord it over us’ when he was young and my Grandad felt the same. I also recall Barry Richards and Gordon Greenidge (arguably the best opening pair in county cricket...

Our long term solution at RB is of course James Milner 😚

Enjoy the rest of the cricket season. Completely ignore the Club World Cup.

Agreed, anyone who breaks into the Argentina team as a teenager has something special.

I think you're right. I'm expecting Pedro and Mitoma to be sold this summer but I think we'll retain the rest of our star players.

Games against the so-called Big Six where our overall record was W7, D3, L2. It's very unlikely that this will ever be bettered. All with a new, inexperienced manager with several new young players to integrate and, if I'm not mistaken, the most player days lost to injury in the Premier League.

Throw those curtains wide ...

I'm still haunted by our three game losing streak to Torquay, Northampton and Grimsby in 1967.

This game could be season concluding.

That team has to hope it doesn't need to call upon anyone other than Undav or Gilmour from the bench. Depending on how much time the old boys had to practice together, our current team would probably win simply by being more cohesive.

I think the club will want to do right by Mitoma, who's been a model professional. If he'd like to have a crack at winning titles and competing in the Champions League (and why wouldn't he) then we won't play hardball over the fee in the way we did with Caicedo. We'll still negotiate the best...

And that's putting it kindly.

Proven young strikers at Premier League level are like gold dust and Pedro is a Brazilian international. I don't think it would be difficult to get £60m for him though I'm still hoping he'll stay.

We can agree he still has plenty to learn but he seems very eager to do so unlike many managers such as Amorim who after just a few weeks at Man Utd said "I'll never change'. I'd say he's already been the most adaptable of our Premier League era managers and we can look forward to further evolution.

Can't escape the thought that you've reached the conclusion that the league must be weaker this year just to defend your view that Hurzeler isn't a good manager. I can't see any other logic to it.

Yes exactly. Their worst season for 40+ years and yet still good enough to reach a European final. It suggests that the standard of the Premier League isn't so poor after all. To be honest, I'd say calling it a poor League is ridiculous.

Such a poor league that the teams in 16th and 17th place are contesting the Europa League final 🙄

Whereas others will claim that it proves Hurzeler is out of his depth.

What if reading up about obscure towns in Serbia is our regular leisure activity when there's no football to watch? I'll get my coat.
