My local is very popular and even has a few remainers. We soon put them right though.

Thank feck I have a choice of boozers which don't include yours VC.

I was brought-up in a very small Derbyshire village and unfortunately the locals tend on the whole to be very narrow minded, (i.e. racist).

Where’s that Scouse? Perhaps I need to move there ? 😂👍

........... and I'm currently working in a city north of Stockholm.

They pay one of the highest income tax rates in Europe............. and not a boarded-up shop in sight or a piece of litter on the street. Plenty of people about with different colour skin as well.

Apparently Sweden has one of the happiest set of inhabitants in Europe!

It's Jante rules Scouse. They all live by an unwritten code saying that you are better than no one and no one is better than you. So different from the me,me,me, of the US model. Most Scandanavian people live by the same rules.

.. and their women are all gorgeous. No wonder.

I can't say I have noticed Baz........... cough.

Getting back to a proper subject.
Anyone going to the game on Sunday

Or Thursday? Have we signed anyone else yet? 🙄

Not going to the game, have my ticket for Scunthorpe, hoping to get ticket for Huddersfield. Not bothered with a season ticket this year as I miss too many games travelling.

Have we signed the Dutch midfielder yet. If so then midfield is done, defence attack and goal keeper to sort out in the next few days.

May I ask you chaps why this Penshawdave stuff is on our site please? I never read it or post on it, all it seems to do is put posts such as this excellent Ramdini post lower down.

Filter him and you will never see another post from him.

Thanks Spart, I've done it and he has disappeared. I got right fed up with all those posts last year.

I don't want to be a misery, but if we don't get a few good players in we are going to struggle. Evans + Davies don't add up to Tomori. Dowell + Shinnie don't add up to Mount and who is going to score Wilson's goals? It certainly isn't you know who!

I’m hopeful we can get a Waggy/Marriott combination up front which could be potent

VC, have faith.

We don't have to play with only nine men because Mount and Wilson are absent.

Expecting a couple of signings before the start of the season. We have reduced our wage bill significantly by losing Johnson, Nugent, Bryson and Blackman plus Butters is on a much reduced wage. We are looking a bit exposed in central defence since losing Tomori and as mentioned we need to find a formula for scoring since Mount and Wilson have gone.

I assume you mean some who scores from midfield?

If Cocu plays 4 3 3 how can he use both Waghorn and Marriott?

I would play Marriott on the wing so he can cut in and shoot, I want to see Waghorn/Martin in the centre forward position. Waghorn is no right winger (I mean that in a football sense Spart)

We can play with out wingers as Bogle and Fossie/Malone are effective wingbacks.

Have Bennett and Marriot buzzing around Waggy as a front 3 with Martin to come on at the hour mark. We'll get bags of goals.

Hope you are right Rameses. We need a centre half though and a midfielder. A few injuries and we are sunk.

Thorne plays 45 minutes in a very friendly friendly and we've never seen him again and Carson has a funny sort of injury as he hasn't played yet. I wonder if Marriott is injured or leaving.

Anything could happen in the next 9 months!

Has Mrs VC been giving you the eye VC?

It was in the opening credits of Stingray but then it was next half hour, it now takes a little longer.

??? - Try sitting in the shade (or have a lie down).

Sounds good to me

Has anyone noticed the new goal kick rules.

It will help us to play out from the back because the opposition cannot enter the box but the team kicking off can so less chance of getting swamped by a team pressing.
