    I always liked the Winterton one - wife would drop me off and I could have a few beers :emoticon-0167-beer::emoticon-0167-beer::emoticon-0167-beer:

    I'll probably do the Ferriby one, especially if it's a nice evening. Not fussed about Stockport or Sunderland though. Prefer it when we play a foreign team, something a bit different.

    or even just a goal? Too much to ask?

    I sent my mate that tweet and he confirmed it's bollocks. The goals were on 15 and 85 minutes, and as I'd have thought, you can't actually see in unless you're in one of those houses that looks down over the ground.

    That's my feeling. It's been a really miserable few years when you look at our results and performances over a period of time. The 23/24 season was a brief high point but it was still full of frustration as we all remember and only really gave us something exciting to get behind in the last home game before we ultimately fell short a week later and then it's been back to frustration and disappointment ever since. And over that time it seems like whenever we've had a friendly or a cup game against a crap team which you'd think would be an opportunity to finally score some goals and a break from the usual slog, even that has still been rubbish. It's always a poor result and/or performance that we have to comfort ourselves by remembering that it wasn't a big game, we rotated the team etc etc. But you'd think from time to time it would be our opposition that doesn't turn up and we'd have the odd good game in one of these.

    Do we know whether Laalaoui or anyone else that was speculated to now not be signed played?

    I'm wondering that too, a strange situation. I think it would be really harsh to send them back to their old clubs, especially in the case of Laalaoui (I say that becuase Puerta would probably welcome it <laugh>). Seems a bit unethical to me, You can't retrospectivly mess about with peoples lives like that. I get we created the problem and the EFL have strict rules, but surely there would be some discretion/common sense applied here, provided the club show they have/can make the payments of course.

    I don't know. I asked my mate but he's not a City fan and doesn't know all our players so he wasn't sure himself.

    What will happen with the 3 million that we reportedly paid for Puerta? Wait a minute i am guessing we have not paid it yet. So that will be another bone of contention.

    Is the Ferriby friendly vs the U21s (as has been for the last couple of years) or the proper team?
