StevO

Went with Branthwaite. Composure and some solid defending. Not a bad point against a decent side.

They are a proper club sponsor too. They provide the gear to the medical team. Ties in nicely with the fitness update.

Watch them change the rules now so that deductions only happen during pre season and we end up being the only team to get one mid season.

Is he still in jail or managed to escape?

It might take a good few years, but if all of these planned bars and hotels go ahead it’ll be fantastic down there.

Known him on TT for the best part of two decades, I disagreed with him pretty much for two decades. I know I had a lot of respect for him and he will be missed by a lot of people here on TT Bill made as big a contribution to this place as anyone over the years. He’s a major part of what TT is today and for that I’m grateful. Condolences to Patto and the rest of your family. Rest easy Bill.

Not really fair on my wife.

Played golf with two United fans today. They heard he’ll be announced as a Sevilla player tomorrow. I’ll take great pleasure in them being wrong if we get him.

As we’ve paid a loan fee for him, they will have to pay us to terminate the loan. Hopefully that money is going into a replacement asap.

It’s mad that the transfer window could be open for two weeks before a club finds out if they are in breach and due a hearing before the end of the season. Should be closed off before the window opens so a club can’t push themselves further over the edge.

These guys have posted so many stories about 777 now, either they are a real shambles of an organisation or it’s personal for the journalists.

I don’t see Onana going in this window, but if he does we need to maximise what we get. No doubt there will be a big sell on clause, and we’ll need a replacement.

We don’t have nice things remember.

I agree. But if we find a winger who works as hard as Harrison, gets as many chances as Danjuma, and finish like Mirallas, he’s probably going to cost about £85m and sign for City.

I hate this thread already. Hope he signs for Sevilla now.

So frustrating isn’t it? He seems to get loads of chances, which is a very good thing, but he’s got to score some of them.

That is a great, and fair, tackle. Just like the one Dom got sent off for.

No pun, but he’s a decent talent. Sorry lads.

They are the two biggest talkers on the pitch. They have a chat at the end of every game. Go and see Tarky talk about Pickford and his shouting on Ben Fosters podcast. He’s not bothered about it at all. By this line of thought, if Coleman comes back into the team does Tarky need to stop shouting at players? Pickford himself, and other players, have all been quoted about his shouting. He’s not always having a go at the rest of the team, he’s giving instructions. As he should do, the only player with a full view of the pitch and a very experienced player at that.

Showed little courage to take the ball and just as little desire to impact their midfield last night. He still has so much to give but so much to improve on. When we have less games in January I expect to see him get back to influencing games.

Absolutely this. How many captains have we had that our fans have said were weak because they didn’t scream and shout? Pickford screams and shouts and suddenly he’s a problem, after we get beat by one of the greatest teams the game has ever seen. The mind boggles.

Apart from Newcastle (which is clearly a personal issue that will stick with him) it’s probably about three years since he’s fucked up.
