    That....might not work.

    It does feel like the promoted teams have a far better chance of staying up this season, with what's going on at Brentford/Wolves/Bournemouth. Not a good chance, but a lot better than last season.

    Went to Cliftonville and Glentoran before Christmas. Had a little chuckle when I saw Jim

    Yeah it’s going as well as it can be for Leeds at the moment. Their team is still really **** for PL standards but no doubt those three are weaker than they were last season. Obviously still a long way to go for all of that to change.

    As for Parker I don’t really know. He’s not had a real crack at the PL as far as I’m aware. Gets teams promoted then sacked, maybe with a more established side he might do well. Arguably the greatest Championship manager ever but not really had a long stint in the PL

    I'm actually very pleased that KDB is still going to be playing in a top league for a top team rather than join Messi in the MLS. Serie A will suit his game as well, not as fast paced as the PL.

    Some Rangers fans aren’t impressed with Russell Martin.

    Is that Jack Russell the dog or the wicket keeper?

    Good article from independent on Wolves and lack of connection between fans and players(clubs longest serving player is four years)

    They certainly appear to be following our trajectory and although the manager seems good, they need a decent window
