Not Harry Potter, but Graham Potter would be a good choice.

True, look at Cole Palmer!

When do football fans of any club "get real". They want success and at the very least expect that their club is being run in the best way and generated funds are first and foremost used to improve the playing staff - something that many rightly question given the money raised through player sales and European income. Which is not monopoly money.

John McGovern not capped? Wow, that is a scandal. Apart from the Liverpool contingent at the time, he must be the player who has won the most honours in his time at Derby and Forest?

Harry Potter?

If he manages to sort the defence and swaps the goalkeeper Chelsea will be top 4 edging out Villa and should win the mickey mouse Conf league.... especially if West Ham can do it.

Both i'd say.

Yep, one European game and Villa away to save his job.

We can but hope

Everton? I've heard Compo has contacts!

or Roma

Agree, he went unnoticed due to Jackson scoring two good goals and assisting Palmer, but yes Caicedo was immense controlling the centre and a great pass for the 2nd goal. Early days but i can see why they pushed so hard for him. Yes West Ham, not sure what the manager was trying to do.

Hmmm!

The Wealdstone Raider on youtube is a laugh

A few years back i decided to adopt my local team Dartford who were in the National league, after two relegations i'm expecting a letter to ask me not to visit anymore!!!

lol i was going to reply... you had wandered into the away end

The new format will give some clubs more exposure and play more games, but as Gribz said towards the end there will be games of no meaning, probably more than the old system of two qualifying from a group.

Agree, but point still stands, they haven't spent wildly as they know that it is all covered by incommings.

Transfermarket suggest that bought players total £34m - Engels from Augsburg £11m and Idah £10m from Norwich the largest outlays. They have recouped £38m, mainly due to selling O'Riley to Brighton at £29m So to point, they have spent £4m less than they received, so not really splashing the cash.

Here we go, strap yourselves in, this will be tasty!!

Me too and putting Havertz and Dunk in my team this week has made me go full smug mode. Another Madueke hat-trick at home to Palace would be nice too.

Celtic 1 Rangers 1 Tav

Gers hit 6, Chels hit 6, near a perfect weekend results

2 issues that we had last season. Sanchez in goal, Jackson up front. Now bought 2 replacements for Sanchez and neither played. Not bought a main forward. But what we have bought is a load of kids and another wide player to compete with Mudryk, Madueke and not now with Sterling!! Whats it all about????

Cmon, one big effort, 1 goal will win this.
