Good luck!

BBC aren't that great. They'll only ever announce news once it's fully verified. Their transfer section (which is absolutely adored by some members on here ) is just a collection of rumours from other outlets.

started celebrating yet ?

I think as you have found it and handled the organisation so well, I volunteer you to pay for it. Thanks!!

Was a good match yesterday. Can tell why Wolfsburg are one of the best teams in women's football and why that absolutely thrash a lot of teams. Barcelona should have got a goal or two though. They made it difficult for Wolfsburg to hold on to their lead.

Ha, I'd have been up for it if @Tommy was invited, but as he's not, I may have to decline. (I will do this until every single member on the site (apart from a few) are listed in your post)

Oh Liam Reddy. With all his experience, that is bad. Le Fondre chases him down and tackles Reddy in the 6-yard box. Ball trickles over the line. Perth haven't been in this at all.

I reckon you support them more than @Toinho does these days

I would've been up for it but I wasn't tagged so I guess I'll have to decline.

Maguire withdrawn

Shaw is only just recovering from injury as well isn't he? No Saka is an odd one.

I don't disagree Maddison is disposable but for what he did 'wrong', Southgate prompted the hounding he got after and gave him no support at all. Maguire involved in a criminal case yet gets full support? Why did Sterling 'have to go home'?

The midfield is terrible. Ironic how Maguire is the golden boy but Sterling has an altercation with another player and gets dropped, Maddison goes to a casino (!!!!!) and is dropped. Southgate has no bollocks.

Maguire in the squad as well. Goalkeepers: Pope Henderson Pickford Defenders Walker Mings Alexander-Arnold Trippier Maguire Keane Gomez Midfielders Phillips Winks Mount Rice Ward-Prowse Dier Foden Forwards Sancho Sterling Kane Greenwood Abraham Rashford Ings

Rodgers probably has extra reason to be furious given he's had COVID himself and doesn't really want to face it again, not least at the hands of his own players! I've got a feeling we'll get a signing done this week. Maybe Tagliafico? One can hope. 3 years for Mendy is definitely excessive. It wouldn't surprise me if he had other deals on the table then we rock up with 3 years and he's like 'fuck it I'll stay then' . Surely he'll only play in cup games and the odd European game? I guess central-midfield isn't really a position we need to strengthen and he's not the worst back-up player to have. As long as other players like James and Amartey don't bag contracts. Then something definitely is up.

Bloody hell, finally! This was agreed in Feb apparently lol CHRIST WHAT IS GOING ON @Dan

I wonder if any of those players were caught up in quarantine rules though that changed while they were out on holiday? Or have they gone out to those countries knowing there are quarantine rules to face when they come back? Which six players anyway?

I feel like with all the comments and feedback from the club, they'll go a step further. How much further I don't know but they've still not recovered from Friday's mare. It's a step in the right direction...

ffs. How to undo all your 'hard' work in about 5 seconds.

Ironically in this innings, which started off shockingly for Pakistan, has produced the biggest partnership (between Rizwan and Azhar) against England this summer. Rizwan just gets his 50 with a big six, as well. Can't imagine England will be that happy with not polishing off this innings in getting Pakistan out. Credit to Pakistan for not cowering and giving up when other teams would have.

So everyone knows (pretty much?) what our owners are like and how we've been fortunate enough not to have to put up with how it could have been - Blackpool, Birmingham, Hull, Cardiff etc where the owner doesn't really care about the club but purely sees it as an investment/'fuck the fans' attitude. Anyway, for all the good our owners have done over the years and where they've taken us since taking over 10 years ago, and for what they've been through with Vichai's death a couple of years ago after the PL win, they've properly dropped a bollock in last couple of days with their Season Ticket scheme for this coming season. Basically: Season-Ticket Holders (STH) have to pay a £70 initial payment by 8th Sept to be included in a ballot for the ability to be able to watch matches (when it becomes possible) The £70 is non-refundable should there be no games at all that can take place with full capacity Should you be successful in the ballot, you'll be given a seat that could be more expensive than your normal ST seat (I thought that given seats would be spaced out, it would just be a flat rate across the ground?). Or it could have been pro-rata up against the cost of your usual ST price? The £70 isn't discounted off any future fee we have to pay for our Season Tickets. It's only discounted off any ST price should any games take place at full capacity. The £70 isn't credited towards next season's Season Ticket. You could lose your Season Ticket if you don't pay the £70. The club haven't made this clear but it seems like they're willing to risk losing fans that have been coming & going for years, decades even. This really doesn't sit right with me, especially with how fans stayed loyal for how shit our club was 10-15 years ago. The games you get to see are actually in a 'ballot cycle'. Dependant on how many take up this new scheme for this season, you probably can't go to all games. Then when you look at what other clubs are doing, it makes our plans look weak and unfair. Man City (granted their revenue streams are vastly different so perhaps could be excused for forgoing the costs for fans...) We understand some supporters may not wish to, or be able, return to the stadium immediately, or at any time during the 20/21 season. If that is the case, you do not need to contact the Club and we will consider your seasonal membership ‘deferred’. Please note, you will retain the option to renew your Seasoncard for the 21/22 season or at any such time that we may offer Seasoncards during the 20/21 season. Brighton: They continued their DD scheme until September. Any costs paid, if fans did renew, would be used as a credit for any games fans choose to go to when fans are allowed back in stadiums. Just seems our club have over-thought what to do and in the process, almost fucked fans over. What if someone has been an STH for 20+ years? And now they've had to shield/isolate and don't feel safe to go, but also can't afford £70 right now to secure their ST for future seasons? That's their support gone and they probably feel quite disillusioned at the situation they face.

Nope, parents and some elder folk! Saw quite a lot of younger folk (like myself ) and teens wearing masks. Surprisingly the inability to queue in a socially distanced manner is still beyond the reach of some...

Okay thanks Mr Anti-Vax.
