Cheeky sod.

astottie needs a wake up call so I can complete the Premier League spreadsheets. If I knew how to do this @ thingy in blue, I'd look so much more professional.

I imagine he'll have either O'Grady or Benteke alongside him. Or even Miller if they bring him in. I can't see us playing a 20yr up top on his tod.

I wonder what people thought when they found this 17 year old whippersnapper, Ryan Sessegnon, was about to feature in Fulham's first team. Seventeen? Can't be that good? What are we thinking of?

I can't wait for the reaction if Miller signs tomorrow.

I would imagine paying off his contract rather than a "settlement". Speculation, of course, because I know precisely nowt.

Nice to see that everyone is happy with this. So far, he's only been seen in a couple or so friendlies. There would be a reason he wasn't in the squad on Saturday, but you would imagine Bunn and Rhodes have seen enough to warrant him having a one year contract. Here's a radical idea; let's see how he performs over the first month or so of the season and then decide whether he's crap (or, actually, quite good for League 2), unless you've already made your mind up, of course. He didn't relegate Chesterfield on his own. They were just a crap team.

I couldn't have been much more out of touch.

The same Brian Talbot? He's been a director or somesuch at a club in Malta for a number of years as I recall. Didn't know he was back in England.

I forecast we're having roast chicken tomorrow with roast spuds and stuff. I also forecast O'Grady and a loan striker. Which is better than a lone striker.

Did you mean that?

And last one out, turn off the lights.

I wish a few more of ours were. He's been written off already by some.

Is that Alan Hardy in front of them?

You failed to spot my tongue implanted in my cheek. Having said that, there's a few differing views after today's game.

I think he's been training all week, so today could have been a precaution not playing him so that he's fully fit for next week.

So he's scored more in two pre-season games than in an entire season for us. Bizarre.

So, apart from that, we were ok then?

So there is some encouragement there. That's good to know.

Iversen saves, PNE score from rebound. 0-3

Penalty PNE

OK, cheers for that, but I expect Leicester will want him playing. Maouche on for Coke.

Him or Placide or De La Paz? Not that we've seen much of De La Paz.

Missilou sounds like MOM for us. Gardner decent? Hamer on for Clarke
