Does Curacao nationality count as #frenchlad? And Benteke is Belgian! Come on, LL, pay attention. That gym is not doing you any good.

Trialist has one disallowed. We need Agent Mick to find out who these trialists are.

Thanks. I joined the gym a couple of months ago so I'd still be ITK. Always 2 steps ahead.

I need photographic evidence. No, I didn't mean pornographic evidence, although it could amount to the same thing.

Hehe. What did we all do for lives before the internet and social media gave us this insane opportunity to debate absolutely everything?

I'd rather not tell you, if you don't mind.

That’s not saying much remember last few games at Bury Ripley was warming the bench and was out of favour

Joe Murphy was their regular keeper who came back from a long spell out injured. If he recovered, he was promised half a dozen games at the end of the season, so I don't think it was anything to do with Ripley's performances.

Bywater is a liability he let a pan full of goals in for Burton last season. I am not impressed if we are going to sign him

I don't think his defence helped him very much. Now, where have I heard that before?

37. Oldham born. Came through Rochdale’s youth system. Had a stint playing in India before signing for Burton Albion in 2016.

Oddly, he's still showing on the Burton Albion website. Even more oddly, he's shown as #1 whereas he has always worn #43 in memory of Les Sealey who passed away when 43 years old.

Football’s great isn’t it? I actually like my job but to just not show up to work and play golf instead without having to pretend to be sick must be great.  Totally different planet 

I think it's safe to say that he didn't accept the new offer. So maybe he doesn't have a club right now. Same may well go for Moimbe.

McLaughlin has just tweeted about Mbappe, he's still in Belfast. 

Doesn't seem like he's coming back. No word of him signing for anyone else either.

 As for Bywater, I didn't know Burton had released him.

 

Isn't he an Oldham lad? Must be knocking on a bit now, he's been around for donkey's years.

Trialists are Ishmail Miller, Giles Coke, Yohan Mollo and Kayleigh Osborne, Steven Bywater also in attendance as he is on trial with the club.

 

According to my 

If you mean Karliegh Osborne, he's a central defender released by Grimsby at the end of last season. As for Bywater, I didn't know Burton had released him.

As for Mollo, 28 year old winger

Cheers Mick. 

Appreciate the update. 

If you ever need any more binoculars, I happily chop into the crowdfund! ?

Agent Mick doing sterling work again.

Probably not as hungry as Gerrard or Croft

There is no way that Crofty could possibly be hungry with the amount of grub he stacks away. Gerrard, I'm not so sure about, because he's bigger than me and I don't want a slap.

If some pervy old bastards try and use that to get Winchester into a Monk's Chain I'm on the pitch swinging 

Swinging what? Oh shit, I think I know already. Please tell me I'm wrong.

Never seen it, never want to, never will. I assume it's one of these pointless reality shows where folk make knobs of themselves so they can say they've been on the tellybox. 

On the sensible channel, though, we saw a decent game tonight. How did Brazil not get a pen for that Kompany "tackle"? Why didn't VAR blow down the ref's lughole to make him have a look at it pitchside?

At least Neymar proved once again that he's a real talent and a cheat as well. Embarrassing, some of his theatrics. But not as embarrassing as Muslera's exhibition of Sunday League goalkeeping.

All European affair now.

In fairness, England face similar language issues.....I heard Jason Pickford being interviewed and I had absolutely no idea what he was saying 

Can you imagine a conversation between Byrne, Baxter and Dummigan. You'd need three interpreters.

I had no idea until I read it this morning that Keiran Tripper is Kelvin Lomax's brother. 

Likewise. Kelvin is older by 4 years. He's 31 now.

Kelvin Trippier-Lomax was born in Bury, Greater Manchester. His father is Chris Trippier, although he later used his mother Eleanor Lomax's surname in his professional career.

Blame the interviewer. He’s absolutely horrendous. A City fan who runs a podcast all things city. I would have thought the club would have got someone with a Journalism related degree. 

Well done. You've found something else to moan about. Jesus H Christ on a bicycle, is there ANYTHING that makes you happy? Go on, smile. It's really good once you get used to it.

By the way, you may be surprised at Sam's credentials.

Luke seems to be the one who produces the good stuff.

Luke doesn't do the interviews, so you can't make that comparison with Sam. I wish I knew what you looked like, so I can make bloody sure I'm not stood anywhere near you at a match.

Dominic Poleon to Crawley from Bradford. 

His 7th club in his career and he is only 24...?

Another chance for some to give him a bit more stick. 

Has anyone noticed that he now has a double barrelled surname on the fishul? He is now Johan Branger-Engone. He's got to be good with a name like that.

However, a word of warning..... 107 points wouldn't have been good enough to keep you in the Championship either, such was the quality on show.

Oh thanks. Talk about putting the boot in. 

Good work again, Andy, but I wish you hadn't re-posted the tables. I've been trying to forget my relegation and then you do this to me.

England. No question.

No surprise there, then

Why will no one engage and tell me why all is fine?

Because, to the best of my knowledge, no one has said all is fine, but there are plenty who have said to give everyone a chance before condemning them even though there are some problems. That's the difference. However, if you want to run down every move that the club/owner/manager etc makes, go ahead. At least you'll get plenty of attention.

PS - I find it somewhat ironic that your totally negative attitude is supported by an avatar of the least qualified manager in living memory.

Transfer window closes in 5 weeks. This weird behaviour from you and other posters who are absolutely adamant that everything is alright is becomming a piss take. It's like we have absolutely no right to be concerned and AL is a genius. Do me a favour and wake up for the love of christ. The guy you replied to never even hinted that he was adamant everything was alright. He was suggesting (somewhat bizarrely in some folk's eyes) that there is a great deal of negativity in some posts and suggests a little positivity. Nothing wrong with that. Oh, nor did he say AL was a genius. Still, if being consistently negative suits your agenda, go for it.

Er, sorry, you already have. Several times. Your final sentence says it all. You're always right. Right?

Definitely clapped off the lads at Northampton

Miles ahead of the level this fella is at. Kusunga even featured in the Champions League a couple of times. Lanzoni a product of Sampdoria.. who never played a game for them in 5 years, but spent those 5 years on loan at several clubs most of us have never heard of.

Mchangama probably only closest comparison but even then he was playing 3 divisions higher than this guy - He started with CS Sedan, a French 4th tier club
