Wasnt it Huddersfield in the Play Off semis that he refused to take a pen?

I remember reading somewhere to make an academy cost effective you need to be developing and selling players regularly, otherwise they're a bit of a money pit. Cant find the article anywhere now though, didnt Huddersfield recently lose theirs?

I swear it was something to do with him cheating on that Geordie scrubber, newspapers went to town and everyone else jumped on board, he was a brilliant footballer. Same as John Terry, shagged his teammates (not forced to be mate) ex girlfriend (not wife) and everyone hates him. Mad really, all football fans are saints, must be right?

I think Bruce demands respect and can control big personalities. I think we lack a bit of character so hopefully he brings in a couple, is allowed to pick from the whole squad and we can kick on and hopefully finish above the scrubbers down the road. Our previous manager couldnt manage a cat.

Yes, i was under the impression we were offered around 10m and we were holding out for 16m from Newcastle(?) but that bid never came in

Be lucky to get 15k

I have the yellow toffs wednesday shirt (above), its football shirt material, really nice but 100 percent polyester. Cant wear it because it makes me sweat like a fat cow in Beres.

I once asked him for his autograph but he hadn't got on that game so he made me wait until he ran a couple of laps of the pitch. I think it was a test to see if i was taking the wee wee. Anyway i waited and he signed my program, probably in the loft of my parents house somewhere. Followed him on twitter a few years back and he was selling Herbalife products which i think is a ponzi scheme.

Customers? Its free mate, you dont have to pay for it. Maybe just dont listen to it?

Hes not really a Bielsa CB, usually goes for ball playing CBs or converts full backs. Dont think Batth fits that mould.

Picture quality was good, just had 2 separate occasions where the sound dropped out for a minute or so. Commentary was otherwise great.

Hes like the Championship Kevin De Bruyne, picks out players with long balls (doesnt work every time but then it doesnt always come off for KDB), can score a screamer and runs midfield, hes a joy to watch.

In the BBC gossip column today: A Turkish amateur club sold 18 of its youth players to fund the purchase of 10 goats, with the aim of using milk and meat sales to help fund its future. (Hurriyet - in Turkish) Maybe something to look into if we don't achieve promotion this season, as per DC's warning. Ds Dairy... coming soon

Looks about right.

I listened to this podcast the other day, along with a fine, if you fall under an 'official' transfer embargo, you can now be deducted points. Its depressing to listen to but its worth a listen all the same.
