    Match Thread Match thread - F a cup 3rd round - Bristol Rovers

    We're rubbish at crossing the ball into the box under any scenario: free play; free kicks and corners. I don't know we bother even taking them; better to save the time and just pass it to their keeper.

    You spoil that boy! He's never going to learn to use the internet by himself if you keep doing it for him.

    James Maddison

    I think your secretary is back from vacation now so I've stood down from covering for her. Tell her that there's a new-fangled internet search tool called Google and that she'll probably find out using that.

    James Maddison

    Not only do we not know, but I doubt we'll ever know. The club is hardly going to advertise that it's just received a wadge of dosh and mismanage selling clubs' xfer fee expectations (or indeed players' wage expectations). I read that Jesse Lingard is being offered in part-exchange. If we are...

    I doubt that anyone here knows - and we'd only know if someone in the club told us. I have zero knowledge of what actually happens in football transfer contracts. However it seems to me that there are several options: 1. The percentage we negotiated only applies to the first transfer (from...

    Sunderland's current style is all about conceding more goals than they score. I reckon he could fit in if he really tried.

    Is this our year ?

    The big difference I see this year is the way we play after we have gone ahead. For years I have seen us forget trying to play football and cower in our own half, booting the ball randomly back to the opposition and yielding possession until we concede one or more goals. This year we are...

    Transfer Rumour Bullshit/legit Rumours Jan 2020

    Was it six figures for each? Sounds quite high for what feels like a high risk gamble. Did we pay six figures for Bosma too?

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    Can see it on Betfair Exchange too - good for me. Before the last game they bet themselves down to 4/1 - then over the following days it corrected back to 6/1. Was delighted to give them 4/1 and thought it rude not to buy them back at 6. They have bet themselves down now to nearly 3/1. Crazy...

    Sunderland for sale

    I don't think anyone is gloating and I doubt anyone knew that their stadium is looking precarious. Obviously, very few ppl here would really wish them any ill at all.

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    No, not 'wait and see'. This has to be settled IMMEDIATELY!

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    If I've understood the formula correctly, it stops being funny the third time I do it... but then becomes funny again after the fifth time.

    Can we also write into the contract that they have to start all their games 15 minutes before ours?

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    Absolutely NOT! There is no time left to dither and delay. We need a conclusion on this issue NOW.

    Is Wycombe a one-off or the new normal?

    He tried an awful back pass on Sunday but got lucky when Marosi got there just before the striker. I don't think it's purged just yet.

    Free transfers last summer?

    He may decide to wait and see if we get promoted before signing a new contract with Bristol. He's 22 and signed for Bristol 2 years ago. If I understand the rules correctly and he eventually declines a new contract at Bristol, I believe there is compensation to pay them but it's not likely to...

    I think one could make an argument that he joined play from an offside position and contributed to the goal by being there (taking some of Marosi's attention), even though he never touched the ball. However clearly the officials saw it differently.

    "IF" we managed to get promoted... How would we fund it

    I also heard that Liverpool couldn't afford to win the Premiership last year, which is why they pulled back. But were promised that the money was there to win it this year, which is why they are now 10 points clear.
