    Sorry mate I don't, I'll try and have a look when I get in from work. The only thing I took from it was one huge batch of games announced for TV across the whole EFL from start of season to first week in Jan. Next batch will be more specifically aimed at how the tables are panning out, that list will include games upto April, then the last few weeks of the season will resort back to short notice for fans and targeting more meaningful games. 

    It's the Saturday/Sunday lunch games that are the killer for me, no interest in watching football at that time unless it's an end of season thriller!! Talk of pubs showing Championship games Saturday lunch is rubbish, most will be showing the Usual Premier league games

    Good for TV purposes but hate going to Sunday games

    29 is no age really. 2 year deal and you still aren't stuck with a player in the years where they quickly decline. 

    People more in the know than I say he is quite an individual rather than team player and despite being relatively effective he is prone to going missing in games. 

    Linked to Boro and Norwich among others, so let them pay increased wages as we have CBT anyway. 

    He will be 30 this year and on high wages. Not completely against it but doesn't seem like the right time to sign such a player.

    End of season celebrations.

    From what I can deduce, there's 16 players in Vegas. 

    Ebou, Nelson, Mendez, CBT, Smith, Hourihane, Collins, Bradley, Vickers, Elder, Cashin, Thommo, Sibs, Washington, Bird, Wilson.

    So obvious missing are Barks, Wildsmith, Fornah, Rooney, Ward, Waggy, Gayle.

    Forsyth not there

    The Buried Giant, I think. Though I loved all three of the Cormac McCarthy books.

    The Three-Body Problem was the best bit of sci-fi (much better than the Netflix adaptation)

    I'd also highly recommend The Man Who Fell to Earth, The Setting Sun and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle!

    I assume you've read The Road by McCarthy?
