Yeah looks like it, to be fair. It was the knock out stages though.

Could be the semis and most teams would barely sell half the ground

£22.5m deal for Lath

Emmanuel Latte Lath: Atlanta United close in on Middlesbrough striker

MLS side Atlanta United are set to sign Middlesbrough striker Emmanuel Latte Lath for a fee of $28m (£22.5m).

I actually wondered if Atlanta would be in the market for Haji Wright - that's a pretty astounding fee for a MLS club either way.

Crazy money that. Gives Boro a hell of a war chest.

And everyone knows it. Wonder if they spunk it over the weekend or risk their playoff push

They won't spend all of that, they made an operating losses in the last two seasons even with a cumulative profit on player sales of £39m. They owe £10.6m in transfer and loan fees due this year.

Same sort of money we got for Viktor!

They won't get stung on incoming then like we did?

Wright is worth. £35m and yok was. Steal

 

[blunted]

That's nothing, they got 611 at home to Swindon in December - and Wycombe is probably one of the shortest journeys Swindon will have this season. At that point you may as well not open the stands.

Remember watching us against Northampton at the then Ricoh in our game in the Carabo? cup. One stand open and not many there for us. We did win it though.

Got done at home last night

Still pissed with Collins and Bassette for that Pompey game.

Would have comfortably won if those two hadn't shat the bed.

Would have snapped their hands off for that fee for Wright.

Do people think Lath is that good? Is he better than Wright?

From Atalanta to Atlanta.

 

[napolimp]

How utterly ridiculous, that transfer fee for Latte Lath is basically a cheat code. There should be valuations carried out when you purchase a player, like buying a house with a mortgage.

I know inflation is tough but £22.5 million for a coffee is taking the piss

Which was never done with BTA either …

Just noticed James Collins has left Derby, didn't realise he was from Coventry.

Don’t start that…

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

This game is painfully lacking in quality

Blackburn 1-0 up, hope this game ends as a draw.

Referee’s genuinely given a penalty for a clash of heads

Shocking refereeing

That said, if that had been elsewhere on the pitch, I'd have blown for a foul - albeit accidental. If he had tripped him, accidentally, it can still be a penalty.

They’re contesting a header, no foul anywhere

If you connect with the ball and follow through with your foot and hit the player, it can be deemed as a foul, although you are challenging for the ball. Not sure what the difference is regarding a foul using the head?

Is a clash of heads a foul now?

 

[David O'Day]

was watching the rugby so just seen the pen but no, no, no it's just an accidental clash of heads

you seem them all the time and they don't get given as fouls anywhere on the pitch

Disgusting fee middlesbrough received, also looks like Milwall made some good signings

Millwall just broke their transfer record, £4.5m on a winger from Holland.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Derby almost certainly going down. Just sold their best defender Cashin to Brighton.

Plymouth apparently broken theirs twice this month!
