Ineos own less than 30% of Man Utd so it was never going to be an issue. However City Group own 47% of Girona which for every other club with shared ownership has meant a change in ownership structure. I wonder how Tony Bloom, the Aston Villa and AC Milan owners etc will react if City Group...

I’m genuinely upset by this news. I’m a big Bradford Bulls fan, lots of family from the City and Rob obviously spent his entire career at Leeds but he was one hell of a player. He defied the odds to become one of the best of his generation. The way he and his family and friends have given their...

We appointed Mike Cave who is assistant technical director to take over Sam Jewell’s responsibilities, he is assisted by George Holmes who is scouting and intelligence manager. So it sounds like we may have changed our recruitment setup at least in the short term with no overall head of...

If you are going to have pudding at least be loyal to the local dish.

My Nan had dementia and lived alone with help from myself, my brother and our Mum who lived local as well as 3 visits a day from home helps. However this wasn't enough, all 3 of us had full time jobs to juggle too so this often left my Nan alone for long periods of the day. She'd call from her...

Bart was born on 18th August 2002, Adingra on Jan 1st 2002 so neither be an under 21 next season. Edit same applies to Sarmiento, Ed Turns and Odel Offiah who were all born in 2002 as well.

Bugger you beat me to it, although I was going to say "So Palace fans spray paint the right coach next time".

It was, Leach and his relationship with the three murdered at Rettendon. A minor character does appear in the first film with the same name as the fella who gave Bishop a slap but it’s a massive leap to claim he was the inspiration for the film series.

Gareth Southgate </endthread>

So a busy week is nearly at an end. Sunday the boy played a development friendly, 35 overs, pre-agreed that any batsman scoring 50 would retire and we'd declare at 200 to leave a chaseable total. We batted first, the came in at number and scored 8 runs before giving his wicket away with an ill...

At Hampton School for an MCC Foundation tournament. 2 wins out of 2 so far, I’ll post a full update later. Picture below doesn’t do this place justice, it’s huge. There are 3 cricket pitches and all are immaculate.

The bookies had Kieran McKenna odds on at various points for both the job here and at Chelsea. They appear to have been very wrong. The market is based on nothing more than where the money is going at the moment. As soon as something actually happens and the bookies get wind then someone will...

I think the OP is on to something an may have sussed what the club is up to. The reason we haven’t appointed anyone yet is all the managers we’ve interviewed have been told it’s just a year long contract and they are keeping the seat warm for Pep when he leaves City at the end of next season.

Ok this isn’t a new kit but seems like a good place to share. Saw this on Twitter. I rather like it. Although you can imagine some of the replies it got. Now while it’s not going to work as an away/third shirt, it would be great if we wore something like this as a one off when the rainbow...

🤣🤣🤣 That’s what you get for replying while wandering around Tesco.

You are wrong again, it wasn’t virtually a new club, they moved to a new stadium. If we’d moved to the Amex and changed our name to Brighton and Hove City would you still be claiming we are a new club? Do you consider Manchester United to be a different club to Newton Heath LYR? They’ve...

It’s the same club, they were formed as Dial Square Footbal club in 1886, a munitions workers team. In 1887 they became known as Royal Arsenal, which was the name of the munitions complex Dial Sqaure was in. They then became Woolwich Arsenal in 1893 when they became a limited company and were...

As I said in my previous post Arsenal didn’t take Leeds City place in the first division. Leeds City spent their entire league history playing in the second division, they were never promoted, so it was impossible for Arsenal to replace them in the first division. Also I’m not sure what...

I’ve screenshot my ticket and will print out a few copies to rip up and throw towards the pitch. Granted from the middle of the West Upper those bits of paper will be lucky to make it to row F so I doubt the hierarchy will notice and I’ll feel a bit guilty at making extra work for the cleaners.

Always rumours it was going to go off between Stringer and Varndean after school in the late 80s. Never did and one of the funniest rumours looking back was that they’d hidden a video camera behind the grill of the school minibus to film anyone taking part. In the late 80s they’d have had to...
