Comrade 86

Ahem! 👀

Their FFP hearing was yesterday apparently, so the outcome must be imminent. Will they sanction the cheating Gumpies, or does the prospect of coming home to a real fire not appeal?

Turns out selling your club and racking up a £300 million debt to an (alleged) homicidal, global, drug trafficker, with a penchant for home fires, hasn't quite led to the sunlit uplands of European football and worldwide adulation they'd hoped for.
They are trending, mind! 😂

Oh do f*** off 🤣

An interesting few weeks ahead to say the least. For the first time in a long while we will be able compete without the shackles of an EFL business plan and it'll be interesting to see who we are looking at. Presumably there will still be two lists, one for L1 and one not. My hunch is that we'll see the profile begin to change and perhaps some younger players with potential, rather than older players with proven pedigree.
I do agree with some of the posts on here pointing out that there's some very good young players in L1 and perhaps we might see fit to five a few a go at a higher level, assuming all goes well on Saturday. Some who have caught my eye in recent weeks include Chris Forino at Wycombe, Paris Maghoma at Bolton, the aforementioned Harrison Burrows at Posh and Karamoko Dembélé at Blackpool, though I'd love to see us spreading the net and brining in two or three from foreign leagues, where I'm sure there must be some good value for money to be had.

Nice to see you care more about others' claims and suspicions than what courts of law decide. And then use "alleged" to chicken out of passing it as your own opinion due to fear of libel and lack of proof.
I presume if someone takes you to court and you are cleared you'll remain an (alleged) rapist/wife-beater/pedo for life (and they can happily slander you hiding behind a screen)
PS No affiliation to said club or individual just find it really cheap.
 

Would this burn off a Snickers 4-pack?
Asking for a friend...

Yep, just listened to the Rams Daily podcast on bbc sounds for the pre match presser, only provided updates on Gayle and TJJ.
Said Gayle is rejoining training today ahead of schedule because he wants to be involved on Saturday (Warne did make a comment about not taking a risk as if the worst does happen on Saturday he’d need him for the playoffs but I think that’s a bit of gamesmanship from Warne). He also said John-Jules was the best in training on Tuesday. So we could have a strong squad to choose from for Saturday. 

I must be easily pleased, as I'll be celebrating like a mad thing if we clinch promotion on Saturday and right now I couldn't care less about Premier League football.

For the love of God, how can it only be Thursday?!? 
Anyway, here's Warney chatting about preparations and mindset for our final game. For those of you sensitive souls who break out in hives just hearing his voice, he says the mood is upbeat and we'll be setting up to win the game, not looking for a draw. He warns against complacency and made it clear that Carlisle won't be taken lightly, but says he and the players will be ready and up for the challenge.
Conspicuously absent were any questions about player fitness, so no updates on that score at all, so Fozzy, Bird and Gayle will all clearly be starting.

Good shout on Forino, impressed me when we played them at their place

T. John-Jules has trained well and is in contention for Saturday too according to Warne (via the DET)

doubt it youth 🤣

I hope you find what you’re looking for 👀

The Dutch are indeed crazy. A friend of mine who has ginger hair went to a festival for redheads last year and had a brilliant time. He came second to a 6' 3" drag queen in a Stiletto race 😅
