Getting in there 3 days ahead of Old Ben... 😁
According to this shaky source we're one of the clubs interested in Sean Clare, 26 year old right back/wing back/centre back/midfielder..  looks a decent squad option on paper if nothing else, 40 games for Charlton last season.

He always has been a fantastic s*** stopper. When we first signed him, his distribution and catching from catches were two of his strengths too. He seemed to lose confidence in catching the ball after the Playoff Final, but improved a lot towards the end of his spell with us.
He was my number 1 keeper and wouldn't have wasted time or budget on Hamer, Marshall or Allsop.

I never win anything 😂

Yes, it even avoided @rynny - just!

Messi is going to be a free agent this summer.
I think he could improve us.

First first class 5 wicket haul for Brookes on debut. Excellent work.
Given our batting, have we let Leicestershire post too many?

No.
Just a bad father.

Still in my pocket.

You've actually hit the nail on the head in a round about way when asking "can you even begin to imagine the repercussions for them if...?" 
All throughout the ordeal, and throughout previous clubs' ordeals, the EFL's main concern has been their own image, making sure that they had their own backs covered so as for no blame to lie at their door. 
Dhead as he was, Morris had a point about the EFL's inability to properly govern the leagues in a way which created fair competition, about parachute payments and about their inability to sell their product for the right sort of money. It never sat right with them that he had pointed this out and you'd better believe that it had some impact on the way we were treated when Mel's own b******* hit the fan.
Of course it wasn't their intention to see us go out of business, that would be madness, but it most certainly was their intention to levy against us as many charges as possible and apply as high a level of punishment for those charges as they could get away with. They went to great lengths to ensure that anything in their rulebooks that was open to interpretation, that could be dealt with  at their discretion on a case by case basis, was interpreted in whichever manner most turned the screws on us.
Indeed the very real proposition of our demise was not their intention, but an oversight, missed because they were more focused on getting their own back on Mel Morris than treating us in accordance with their treatment of other clubs 
It was an outcome for which the chances it stood to occur had been exacerbated by the nature in which they had pursued their case against us and their failure to deal with others taking action against us, itself brought about because their own failings had put them in an impossible situation whereby Gibson was threatening to sue them!
Their archaic incompetence is only highlighted by their very actions risking their priority number 1, self defence of their public image. It was crushed when the politicians started getting involved.
By the end they were s******* themselves at the prospect that this nearly happened on their watch, but still of course they wouldn't hold their hands up and instead came out with some nonsense that made it sound like they were the ones responsible for vetoing Kirchner's bid.

I find it very helpful in working out how many yards the players are stealing at throw-ins, so I'm yelling accurately to the ref!

I agree, though I would say it was less Bennett deserving to start (though he did win the penalty in the semis), and more that Waghorn wasn't fit and Marriott clearly had multiple issues. 
Also, I think the teamsheet excuse has been retrospectively overblown. I don't believe the narrative that everyone's enthusiasm was killed as soon as they saw the team selection. I think it's a little too convenient. I don't even remember reading the teamsheet!*

The thing annoys me about the whole team sheet thing is that Bennett deserved to start that game, he was immense against Leeds. The mistake was playing Huddlestone over Marriott, yet no one is willing to admit that, Bennett is the easy target.

Probably because we don't use the middle of it much!

There was a singing block, but it was filled with people who don’t actually sing. There were a few of us trying to get stuff going across it, but we were too few and far between.
The whole teamsheet excuse does my head in. Our biggest game in 5 years and people give up because of one selection decision? Joke.
As you can tell, I’ve calmed down about it 4 years on🤣

All those in favour, say eye.

Best club badge ever, and the most controversial.
If you know, you know.

Doesn't Cooper know he can't banish him that easily? They have to destroy his seven horcruxes first.

Haven’t seen the picture, if true, to post one online of his grandkids is plain wrong.
I don’t care who you are, or what you have done, posting pictures of children online without seeking permission from the parents  is just, again, plain wrong.
Whenever I want to put a picture on my Instagram account with a mates kid or my own nieces/nephews, I always check first if it’s ok.

Does a penalty against little old Burton count, or is it officially a 0-0 draw?

Oh I don't know, Collins definitely has a dummy, I've seen him throw it out of the pram on a few occasions.

Bennett was brilliant that night.
