    He's deffinately throwing his toys out the pram (hat in the ring) for what appears to be an open vacancy on the board.

    I've always known them as Athletic Bilbao... Whether that came from as far back as when we played them in the 90's, which I do remember, I'm unsure.

    If they were allowed to change back in the 70's, they took their time about it. I'm with the others on here that only seem to have realised relatively recently.

    If Bruno is out with illness (as I suspect he will be considering he's, by reports, not trained) what would your team look like?
    Personally I'd go:
    Ramsdale
    Trippier
    Thiaw
    Botman
    Burn
    Miley
    Tonali
    Ramsey
    Murphy
    Woltemade
    Gordon

    Come on now! Who would he replace? He surely couldn't replace Barnes or Barnes or Barnes

    I was more thinking he could replace Barnes as he will have run himself into the ground.

    Sell Elanga at the earliest opportunity! If you can't get in the team on the right ahead of Murphy and Barnes you're not ever going to be sufficient.

    Murphy has been in the form of his life recently tbf, and Barnes has been killing it when he's come on.

    Elanga needs to up his game and quick though, no doubt about that.

    Elanga's been the biggest transfer disappointment since the takeover. Thankfully he's young.

    Odysseas Vlachodimos and Lloyd Kelly disagree with you.

    Elanga's has a bad start but I won't write him off yet, was great for Forest.

    I'm glad Barnes starts. We need his finishing powers in the side tbh
