Ndidi out for between 6-12 weeks for us. Absolute killer blow for us. Colossal player on his day and gives us that much needed defensive presence in midfield. Will be a huge loss with him absent from the team. Very short on central defensive options as well which makes me think we'll have to spend a lot of money on a centre back. We needed to buy for that position anyway but this very much forces our hand.

Gutted I'm missing this. BT Sport used to air some Turkish games but I think that's only because of lockdown and other football wasn't being played. No doubt it'll be a feisty one. Was looking at this game as a potential for the next one in the First Goal competition. Am I right in thinking Fenerbahce don't have a particularly good record in away at Gala...

That is quite obviously a pretty shit way to have handled stuff from Woodward's perspective and for Ferdinand to experience, but what would have stopped him going in to the club over the next few days and saying those goodbyes to staff around the ground/training ground? Players/staff don't immediately just down tools at the final whistle on the final day of the season. Not being able to say goodbye to the fans when out on the pitch though is shit, admittedly.

How can you front yourself as a 'freedom-loving' country when you've just restricted free movement across 26 other nations in the continent you're in, and compare that to countries (Germany and Italy) who do allow freedom of movement because they're in the EU?

'freedom-loving country'

Is the test and trace stuff working? Regularly hearing stories about the callers not having any calls to make and that it's then become a waste of money/resources...

6 month restrictions for the UK. Wedding numbers down to 15

I think he's got off lightly considering the amount of stick we give to @Bluewolf and @CaaC (John) The Three Wise Men!

Heard on the news earlier Abramovich (and Chelsea?) could be in a bit of trouble for him owning a Sporting Lisbon player who played against Chelsea in CL in 2014. But they may be 'protected' because FIFA didn't bring in the 3rd-party ownership in until 2015. Means he had a conflict of interest, so to speak...

Won't be long til it has to be done anyway Why Union?

@Berserker getting absolutely rattled any time someone dares to speak out against Higuain

Tottenham play today, Tuesday, Thursday, Sunday. 4 games in 7 days. Busy start!

You still see what I do but I don't know if it's available outside of the UK

If anyone (in the UK) watches Council House Britain, you'll get a lovely insight in to the kind of job I have to do!

In all seriousness, you're very much welcome to join any/all of these competitions @fearfull!

@CaaC (John) newcomers are allowed but have to swap for the person who recommended them...

Utter stupidity encountered in Reading yesterday. Went to their shopping centre with the missus. There's clear signs (several) near the lifts which say 'One household/family/couple' per lift. Simply because they're not that big anyway and it's just sensible. We get in and then 3 other people follow us in. We say to them, politely, 'sorry it's just one household or couple per lift'. They didn't seem to hear us so we said it again. They turned around and got out but we heard them say 'everyone is so scared of this bloody Coronavirus'. Couldn't believe it, as if it's not caused a panedmic or killed 40,000+ people, or left people suffering after they have it. Oh, and to make it even more stupid/hilarious, the guy who said it was wearing a fucking mask . What are you wearing a mask for you absolute pleb if you don't think it'll do you any harm? Why do you feel the need to wear the mask if you're not 'scared' of COVID too ?

Welcome to the forum @fearfull! Your thoughts on Soyuncu/Under as our Turkish contingent at Leicester... How do you think Fenerbahce will fare this season?

That's gonna piss off the government who were kicking up a fuss the other day about people getting tests when it wasn't necessary, even if they did come in to contact with someone who had it. Now the CDC confirm that's what should be done anyway Clusterfuck. The government just care about themselves and their paychecks. I know that's nothing new, but it's now clearer than it ever has been just how much of selfish group of pricks they are. They don't care about anyone else.

Buying players to improve squad depth?! Surely not ?!

Ross McCormack has signed for Aldershot
