Robbie Simpson has just done his big shop.

I saw that. Coming out of Tesco laden with shopping bags, tripped over the curb and fell flat on his face. Almost managed to style it out, but not quite...

Yes and Grant Ward who was on loan here from Spurs, talented player.

About 18 months ago whilst waiting for a midwife appointment with my wife I saw Robbie Simpson waiting with his pregnant partner. Dull story of the day.

Bassala Sambou was always believed to go on to score lots of goals but since leaving Everton he’s scored a whopping total of two goals at both Fortuna Sittard in the Dutch League and Randers FC in the Danish League

Wasted his career for a short term earnings. Was never ever going to make the grade at Everton.

Everton offered him a renewal, he turned it down to play first team games.

Fair play to him, but still wasted those 4 years of his original contract playing U23s. The most important developmental years were wasted.

100% but if he ends up not being good enough he made more from Everton than he ever would have here. If he could have been good enough then he has waisted his early career and may never get it back. It's the gamble you take.

If they're good enough, they'll find their way. Newcastle pinched Ivan toney at 17 from Northampton. 4 years of no appearances for them he was moved on and doing okay now.

Saw Baka in Zara on Oxford Street tonight after work, wearing sky blue Nike trainers and buying a sky blue hoody, must have rubbed off on him whilst here!

my Mrs said I should have started singing 20 goals in the fitting room

If you’d have done that whilst rubbing off on him you’d have been thrown out.

I see their training camp is in Alicante. Fleck was probably down in the 'dorm on the piss

West Brom twitter is reporting that Alan Miller, who played in the 6-1 Chelsea game, has died. RIP.

Lee Carsley to be new England U21 manager

Good coach, also Ian Foster who used to coach the 18s and 23s here is with the U19s. They were both here at the same time I think

During the first lock down SBitC put on a weekly zoom session for walking footballers and for SBitC age group coaches.These were Q and A sessions with former City players. Carsley and Paul Williams were two of the former players who came on, these two chosen in particular because of their coaching background. Both of them were very impressive in their knowledge, the things that they had to say and in their very humble demeanour. I'm not surprised he got a job like this. I think Paul Williams was part of the England set up previously.

Yeah agree. Nice to see someone with the right pedigree in the role.

Blair Turgott just made his Jamaica debut, got an assist.

Looked crap for us and slipped down the leagues but seems to have had a bit of an upturn since moving to Sweden.

 

[sw88]

RCC made his international debut (I think debut) representing Granada.

pleased for him especially as wasn't it just earlier this season that he posted about suffering poor mental health and needing to take a break?

 

[Alkhen]

Not technically an ex-player but came on a long trial with quite a bit of buzz:

Sunil Chhetri has overtaken Messi in the international goal charts... must be a slow news day

Sunil Chhetri overtakes Lionel Messi, one goal away from entering all-time top-10

DOHA: Indian football talisman Sunil Chhetri has surpassed Argentina's global superstar Lionel Messi to become the second-highest active international goal-scor

Ah fair enough. I'm not sure why, but out of all our ex players, it's him and Harries who I enjoy seeing not being successful.

Can understand Stevenson to an extent with having his dad phone in sick for him but what did Harries ever do wrong?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Aaron Martin has signed for Port Vale

Just shows...the grass isn't always greener elsewhere...if he'd had some faith in us and stayed, his game might well have progressed more.
Wasted his time at Wolves.
That said, it seems to have worked out ok for us...that 'undisclosed' fee came in handy lol
