Actually, looking at the league notes, it's never changed from 8 (aside from when I needed to switch it to 8:30pm for two minutes so I could make a change).

Draft time was always set for 8pm, as in the original post ^ I think something might have happened with Yahoo at some point because the draft was all sorts of messed up when I went to fix the 'snaking' issue earlier; so I'm guessing it might have altered the time and the draft type at some point. Weird one, but it was always 8pm.

All fixed. Thanks for flagging this up.

As a superstitious person, I'd never allow that number to be used by a player in my team. I don't even allow it on FM. Accidentally gave it to a good player before and had to immediately release them

Death, taxes, and Matty Cash.

All I'm saying is it's his job to grow the brand. Brand grows, revenue continues, FFP is satisfied. The Terrace View wouldn't have been his idea anyway as he only rocked up a short while ago. It takes ages (months/years) to plan and develop something like that, especially considering where it's situated. In fact, I'm not certain he's done much of anything yet, other than get the lion logo (the one where it's on its own) on some of our media. We'll likely see him make his mark next summer, with this season being a chance for him to observe how we're operating - as a club, and as fans - and to make plans accordingly. Nonetheless, back to Lenglet...

Enter... Chris Heck. In before [Kenneth Williams . jpeg]

If he's good enough for Don Unai, he's good enough for me. He'll - and this is the important word here - coach him into a useful addition. Plus, this system should suit him more than Conte's did.

They've become such a cowboy broadcaster since they decided to gradually populate the gaff with 'Sky Academy' graduates and social media morons. It's painful to watch, these days.

As a reminder, guys, the draft is THIS SATURDAY. Be sure to edit your pre-draft rankings if you can't make it. Autodraft will still probably mess it up, but at least it gives you a shot...

This is what I came here to see. It's such a good show. Season 2 in January or February. Looking forward to Fargo season 5 in November too.

The most worrying thing here is citing Creep, of all songs, as the reason for being a Radiohead fan in the first place. It's not even the best song on Pablo Honey. I can appreciate not liking a band because of their fans though. There's plenty of bands I have that issue with...

Happy with Troare as a Conference League player. He could do some damage against some of the lesser clubs, while giving our Premier League starters a much-needed rest. Same goes for some of the earlier rounds of the League Cup. That said, if a club wants to give us even market value for him (let alone Saudi money), I could see us taking it.

Here we goooooooo OH!

Exactly the sort of player we're looking for! Reel him in!

The lights in the kitchen are on, at least...

Having inside knowledge* of how these things work, here's a probable timeline of events which, assuming there are no issues, may explain the delay: Plane arrives around 12:30-1pm yesterday. Arrives at BMH around 2-3ish (conservative with the timing here). Following a 4.5 hour flight (and likely 7-8ish+ hour travel day), opted to just have a look around and do basic tests/medical paperwork. This is normal if a player arrives off a fairly long flight and it's not deadline day. This also explains why the plane was told to stick around. Again, completely normal and easily arranged/financed at this level. A full sports medical takes several hours, so it's not something you're going to want to do, nor would our medical team want them to do, while travel weary. Other formalities looked at with his people (housing, travel, visas, going through standard non-contract documents, endless photocopying, probably had a chat over something to eat, etc) - the boring essential stuff - by which it would have been getting on for time anyway. They likely stayed at the Belfry last night, due to its high standing and proximity to BMH, hence his agent being there earlier. Today would then be the standard medical, adding the contract signature, and media day (photos, etc). *not at Villa, but it's more-or-less the same at any high profile club

Even though the post is 10 years old, I'm so pleased to see this here. My favourite debut album. Sound-wise, I always thought it could have been a double album with Antics. There's not enough double albums these days. The early 00s (2000~05) had some outstanding debut albums.

Bad day at the office. Annoying, but it happens. Unai looks fuming. Big week ahead!

Kane wakes up a few days after the plane mysteriously crashes on the runway to find Daniel Levy standing over him

Do you have a Castore top by any chance? Adidas are the only kit manufacturer who seem to get the sizes/fit right (for the reasons you gave...) and I've been trying to figure out what size Castore shirt to order. So a comparison with Adidas shirts is what I've been trying to figure out (a size up/down or equal to).

I'd love a proper Adidas kit. Not the template EFL-clubs deal nonsense. I want the bespoke design team arrangement like Arsenal, Madrid, Juventus et al pay for.

I really think, especially given the currently uncertain landscape of football games, Konami should have a real re-think of their strategy, especially considering it clearly hasn't worked. It sucks not having a viable yearly football game to play.

Didn't say they were.

The weird new trend amongst online football journalists of putting players' year of birth in their reports.
