Knowing I am more than double his age makes me feel old.
Explains why you can afford all these away games though, pensioner specials! 😂

Wanna feel old? Hendrick is now 32.

Her account was restored, however no comment on this at all from Elon. Unsurprising.

I put that list together based on a couple of factors ....
1. Free agent strikers in the summer
2. Potential free agents so zero transfer fee
3. Under 30 years old because in my opinion, if we are promoted, having players 32 years and older in the Championship will not be good enough.
4. Of the calibre required in the championship
5. We will have several strikers who's contracts I definitely wouldn't renew in the Sumner, so we will need new strikers.
6. The strikers needs to have scored at least 7 goals in a season
Mbappe fits your criteria.

Am I right in saying it was submitted to the EFL on Friday, and it's only Monday dinner time now?
I don't think the EFL's refusal to open the offices over the weekend to go through paperwork is something we should be taking personally.
When you spend your weekend on forums and social media, I can see how it feels like a long time, but in reality it's not.
If we get to midweek and nothing, then yeah, start to question why the hold up, until then, just relax.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's at Moor Farm today with the rest of the players, integrating himself, how often do we see pictures of new signings that have been training all day prior to announcements.

His career progression, or lack of it, has been frustrating. When you look at total minutes on the pitch in competitive first team football for us, compared to Jason Knight and Max Bird who are all similar ages, you have to ask why.
Sibley 7962
Knight 12,148
Bird 14,695
The lad has unquestionable potential, still relatively young at just 22, he's fallen victim of failing to nail down a position in the team and used to plug gaps as Jason Knight did, however unlike Knight he's not really proving his worth when given the brief opportunities all over the pitch.
Not everyone will have the workrate of Jason Knight, can't hold that against him, but we see these cameos, rewarded with a start and he's just flat. Not the player we know he can be.
Sibley needs to ask some serious questions of Warne and ask where exactly does he fit in this team for his own career.
What is his position and what is his role, I wouldn't even get to the point of talking about wages and length of contract unless he's given an answer which he feels is honest and can see a future at the club.
I wouldn't be surprised to see him walk.
His mates Knight and Bird down Bristol, he's the only one left and that must feel like being the kid at school being left till last to be picked. I bet you he values himself as good, if not better than those two and it will sting.

Disappointed. Let's hope its only a loan till the end of the season. If promoted he'd be a very expensive and probably not used substitute
He’s a free agent, and with Collins out he would be a guaranteed starter.

I'm glad you posted that video, I had no idea what a back heel pass was.

Never in doubt. Strikers are overrated.

We will be winners today regardless of the score.
Having this bloke only ever sat in the opposition dugout and not the home team at Pride Park is a win.

An unprecedented 75% of twitter traffic found to be fake bots during the superbowl
Yet twitter were crowing about how many impressions they got
True to form, sounds like Musk is happy to artificially inflate his numbers to impress investors
"Solved the bot problem" my arse
Another article to back this up
https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/15/x-paid-post-promotion-advertising
Worth also looking into the Mr Beast and Elon Musk interaction which subsequently led to a quarter of a million dollar payout on the video he posted.
His site, can do what he likes. I miss Twitter.

I love that interview tbh.
So much sense spoken by Warne.
Made a good point to Dom about the effect of criticism and more importantly he avoids the obvious/easy answer in claiming that he knew things would turn.... and admitting he/you don't. You do what you can and see how it goes and hope it all comes good.
Disregarding the style of football, I struggle to see how anyone can find fault with his attitude towards management here.
I liked it as well, decided against sharing it in the Warne topic though, just didn't seem worth it.
Comes across as really open and honest, I really find it hard not to like the bloke on a personal level from all the content we're given to base our opinions on. Just one of those people I think would be good to have a pint with and get things off your chest to.

Weston's more of a 10 who can also play out wide. If he is to play upfront, he would need to be partnered up with a more traditional 9... which doesn't exactly solve our problem.
He's got 2 legs though

But they aren’t strikers.
They may well do a job for us, I’ll be happy if they do but it just all seems unnecessary and a bit amateur to even be in this position.
But I’ve speculated enough I think about whether we’re doing the right thing or not so I’ll see how we get on today.
To be fair, these are Barkhuizen's games/positions played over his career. Playing him up top wouldn't be the same as Dean Moxey.

I’ve had a think about this, opened myself up to the counter arguments and I’ve come to the conclusion I am still correct.
It’s a nonsense stat.
However I would concede that rebranding it as chances created cC, or even opportunities, I would have less issues with it.
This idea that a player is in this position on the pitch, he’s “expected” to score is as I say nonsense and disrespectful to defenders and keepers.
Now if you’re telling me, that having a player in this position on the pitch has a chance/opportunity to take a shot and score, absolutely I can buy into that.
Look at a penalty, dead ball situation with a 1 on 1, great chance/opportunity to score, however I watched Mbappe have a penalty save the other day. Didn’t take it. That’s football.
The X is terrible branding, as it is for the rebranding of Twitter.
Also, as a stat, you shouldn’t have variations depending on what website you’re reading.

Why? Surely it would still leave Stevenage pondering for today’s game?
Don’t ask me questions like that as it puts me on the ropes unable to answer, doesn’t fit the positive news narrative I’m trying to push here.

We would have won had Madley reffed the game.
Won 5, lost 4 and drew 1 with him in charge, what did you do that for 😂
