    Taking my grandson to a local toy and comic fair this morning, I’ll be back for the game though. Safe travels to all who are going, I’m looking forward to this game more than any other game last season, hopefully three points will be the reward

    Don't forget though that even at the Championship reduced wage rate, we've saved around €300,000 per week on their wages, so that should make the figures about even

    I think Farke has worked wonders in such a small amount of time, but the CLUB are in chaos. We can't compete with Southampton or Leicester City due to the income they have generated this Summer compared to what we have. We have to stay within the confounds of FFP, or risk becoming the next Derby County.

    I’ve watched live games in Scotland and the standard is terrible. Apart from Rangers and Celtic whose current standard is mid-table championship, the rest of the spl is between lower league 1 to mid league 2. It is awful.

    That’s not true. It was 90 m euros which is less than Utd paid for Maguire.

    When does ffp come in though, if we go up this or next season then it means nothing, we don't know the financial clout of the 49ers yet and no idea what they will spend, it does appear they are lining up a couple of acquisitions, then will sell someone to finance the moves.
    Leicester have sold or lost their top talents and imo haven't bought well, not sure how much they have left to spend as they have big loans to pay, money they were banking on from being in the PL.
    Soton as it stands and have been saying for weeks are my favourites for going back up and they should be £120m better off soon, what they buy with it will determine that.
    Yes things could be a whole lot better but those ****ers that have gone out on loan are as much to blame as anyone, absolutely no heart in any of them.

    Best bet of the day with B365

    Leeds being awarded a penalty and missing it is at 14/1 (seriously!)

    Is Bamford playing?............<laugh><laugh>

    We don't get many penalties down here in the Championship and Bamford is injured already. We can barely scrape a team together and it's only the first game. <laugh>

    It's not a bad bet to be fair cos we do miss alot.
