Hornso

Think he deserves to be given a shot at making it at the club this season, up to him to take that opportunity.

They look top notch. Very happy with these efforts from UA.

he got 6 goals last season and 5 of them came in one week vs Notts County and a woeful Sunderland team

Exactly 6 goals in 33 appearances last season and 3 of them were penalties.

for most players I agree but not deadwood like SInclair. just what them out of club ASAP

Especially with 3 years left on his deal at what I imagine are mid-to-high wages. I thought we'd be willing to take 2m just to get him off the books.

Great that he is getting a chance to make the squad. Hopefully he is able to drill into some of the squad what it means to wear the claret & blue and fight for it, week in week out, for 90 minutes.

it fascinates me how most pundits came out and defended him for his own goal.....yet MON dropped him.

There is clearly a difference of opinion.

MON dropped him after failing to put Hazard "into the fence" the following game, not directly after the own goal but I agree that he is too mistake prone.

In other good news he's contracted to us for another 4 more years... 

I don't think he'll be up for the fight next year to be honest. Would happily get rid of his wages off our books for the reported 2m.

Read a few twitter posts that Xia wants to potentially buy Brisbane Roar in the Australian A-League.

They are up for sale at the moment.

Take like a pinch of salt but if any truth in it that would be a great start

Even though I'm based near Melbourne, I'd jump on the Roar bandwagon if this was to turn into a City Group like setup. 

Guessing we start away to Preston and finish at home to Barnsley. 

First home game versus Burton.

Personally I am hoping for Wimbledon or Plymouth.

Just what we need, some leadership in the dressing room. Welcome Tommy!

Take whatever we can get for these five. Time to clean house and move forward.

Yet to hear anything positive about Samuelson in regards to football or running anything which has me feeling cautious. Everything else coming out of the club regarding the takeover has been great.

Our dressing room badly needs some leaders to steer the ship in a positive direction, sounds like he will help address this issue. Hope it gets done.

I'd like Okore to get a 2nd chance at the club,but for everyone's sake he needs to take it.

I like the way he holds himself. I have a good feeling about him. He just seems like The Boss.

I agree. Seems very comfortable in his own skin. Looking forward to hearing him speak. Hopefully he is ready to get his hands dirty.

Take care of the club please Doctor and lead us back to glory.

Seems like a decent concept, but it's ruined because you have to be Alex Hunter. You can't customize your own person. I have to be some english kid. 

And you have to play for a Premier League club...

Couldn't agree me. It's always infuriated me that we would beat similarly good teams reasonably regularly yet with 2 exceptions (i think) the best we could ever do against these words removed was a draw.

Yep. I worked out that in 24 seasons we managed just 7 points at Old Trafford. I imagine our record at Villa Park wouldn't be that much better.

EDIT: 13 points at Villa Park. For a total of 20 from 48 matches 

Losing to United time after time after time.

List is small but slowly growing...

Australia

United States

Canada

New Zealand

Germany

Netherlands

Austria

Italy

Switzerland

France

England

Thailand

When does his contract end?  Can we put a countdown timer on here for that celebration?

End of the 2017/2018 season I believe 

@ItsHornso for a taste

I like the idea of 5 leagues of 20 and doing away with FA Cup replays.
