    Nothing at all. It'll be a conveneal coming together of fans celebrating England's win at the Euros whilst wishing each other all the best for the upcoming season.

    I realise that you're in The Netherlands, but isn't it a bit early to be smoking whatever it is that gave you this idea? <whistle>

    Not that, but those mushrooms that came up in the compost tasted really nice.

    Really glad to see Ballard is back training on grass after his awful injury last season.

    Said it elsewhere, but it's the one big shame that we didn't give more chances to these young lads last season, but I suppose that's all in the past now.

    Ballard over Mara.
    Dibling/SAA over Sulemena.
    etc

    Just under a couple of weeks to go before the Eastleigh game where I assume it will just be 45 minutes for most players.

    What systems are we expecting to see?
    The arrivals of Edwards and Wood point towards a back three being the default, but with a lot of our attackers stronger out wide, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 5-4-1.

    not seen Smallbone, Alcaraz, Sulemana or ABK in pre season yet. Have they been involved in any international friendlies or did their loan spells end later?

    Smallbone went on international duty. I think the Serie A season finished a bit later. Not sure on Sule or ABK.

    How can that ever be described as a friendly?

    Might go to that just to tick the ground off. Can't recall us playing them in a competitive match in my lifetime.

    Depending on your age, last league game 1988, last competitive game 1996. The year we thought Football was coming home.

    Ahh in my lifetime then but not when I realistically could have gone.

    Nice that football is being traditionally late by coming home 28 years later instead
