    I’ll be on Eurostar, hopefully watching on Sky Go. Pray for Wi-Fi connection stability…

    Aka - never let your wife/partner book the tickets without asking you about what time the train is!

    The last time I was on the Eurostar during a match, it was England v Iceland. Connection died after about 2 minutes, and never returned. Thankfully.

    To this day, I've still never seen the highlights.

    I still remember their weird chant. Quite intimidating.

    Does Sky Go work in the EU? My Dutch provider Ziggo works throughout including on a recent trip to Tenerife, I can't remember if it worked during my last trip to England.

    Start Lavia, he plays crap because he’s terrified of injury, Liverpool decide they don’t want him as a result, he stays. Genius.

    Looking at the first few games, I think we will have a slow start to the season. I am not anticipating anything tonight as we rarely do well in the opening match In the matches up to September, I feel we will lose to Wednesday, Norwich, Middlesborough, Leicester and Sunderland. By that stage, I just feel we will have some stability within the club and Russell will know what his best team is. This season is going to be transitional. Not expecting anything tonight.

    You do know on paper we have one of the easiest starts compared to the other teams?

    Apparently not. "You're not entitled to stream Sky outside the UK using your Sky Go, Sky Kids, Sky Sports, and Sky Sports Box Office apps. Some Sky apps will allow you to download your favourite shows and movies over WiFi before you leave home to watch offline while you’re abroad." What a ****ing triumph!

    Our form at the end of last season was dreadful and , theoretically, the squad is now weaker. Granted the opposition is not so good. However I feel Russell has a lot to do to repair the damage from 2023/24. I do not see it as a quick fix. We have got a large squad yet there is little quality in the depth. I think at least JLavia. WP, KWP, Alcaraz, Bella-Kotchap, Adams and Sulemana will be gone by September as a minimum. I do not think that we will spend much of the resultant income until the January window, either because of lack of time or because Russell simply does not know how good his squad is for the Championship. (Serious question marks over Mara, Adam Armstrong and Larius - League One at best??) We will not have a settled side this season and I think the house will not be in order until 24/25 when we will have a serious pop at promotion. This season is all about steadying the ship and not having another disaster. If we reach the play-offs, I think this should be seen as a massive bonus.

    Just read that the stadium clock in all EFL matches won't stop at 45 and 90 this season. It will actually show injury time too.

    Progress.

    Only slight worry is no FB on the bench.
