Club have just tweeted that all shirt numbers will be confirmed at the end of the transfer window. I know what that means

I’m hopeful for more incomings but I think it’s probably after the hoohaa after last season with Ings and Buendia changing shirt numbers after Jack left.

Not a bad night in the end for Richard Gleeson to be fair…

Evening all

found a car that fits the bill of what I’m looking for. Going to test drive on Sunday. Car I believe is very well priced as it is so don’t think there’s room for haggling.

Something that keeps running through my head. I don’t NEED a car right now but will by end of the year/beginning of next when son starts childcare. Am I right to assume that it’s looking likely that used prices won’t come down between now and then, even if we go into a recession?

So I bit the bullet and went ahead and got the car, yippeeeeededd….until it wouldn’t go into gear and the clutch pedal was stuck to the floor today. Had to leave work early as mrs was driving and had to swap cars. Waited 2 hours for AA technician to come out and reset the fault code.

now to decide whether to get it repaired under warranty or reject it

If the energy suppliers are having to pay more in the international markets for gas/oil then why are they also able to record massive record profits?

Are they really paying more their end? 

Free market capitalism.

I’m not a car brand snob, I’ve had plenty of cheap cars and you win some you lose some. Saying that, I only ever had 1 Vauxhall and never again. It was worse than all the cheap Renault/Peugeot/Citroen cars I ever had combined. 

More recently me and the wife have had Ford’s and tbh they’ve been exceptionally reliable and cheap to run nice cars. 

I wouldn’t mind ford but they’re a bit out of my price range, my mrs wants me to get a car with as low a mileage as possible, newish fords in my price range would have quite a high mile like 100k plus on the clock for 2016/2017 and I’m a bit hesitant by that, although I’ve seen online that it’s not an issue with modern cars?

apologies I’m a complete car novice when it comes to what to look out for re age and mileage and things like that.

Evening fellow VT’ers, apologies for the lengthy post in advance.

looking for advice re buying a used car. I recently passed my test at the ripe old age of 30 after 9 years of learning. (Long story)  and am looking to buy a car towards end of year/ beginning of next when my son starts childcare.

im going to be saving up so I can potentially buy a car outright or make up the difference with finance.

couple of bits of advice. I’m eyeing a Vauxhall Astra as it seems to have all that I’d want from a car (heated seats, pretty economical, 5 doors, apple car play, price range etc) has anyone had a post 2017 one and how did you find it?

Also caught in 2 minds on whether I should pay a bit more for for a newer one with lower miles, or an older one with slightly higher mileage which I could fit a double dinn stereo with screen to get apple car play.

I don’t envisage changing the car until it dies a death so I’m more inclined to go newer but more expensive as I’d think it would last longer but I’m unsure. This would be my first car so all advice is welcome

This is a particularly bad result for Barnsley, as they don't play again until next month and that's against Man City, Leeds and Everton play twice before then

I dunno, draw against Fulham ain’t bad considering.

What’s the record for number of managers sacked in a PL season by a single club? Have they already broken it? Surely they will if they get rid of Hodgson….

It appears that 3 is the most in a season, remarkably it’s happened 8 times in PL history including us in 15/16

https://www.90min.com/posts/6310534-8-premier-league-clubs-who-have-had-3-managers-or-more-in-a-season

found out in Italy in 15/16 Palermo had NINE managerial changes involving 7 managers. They sacked and rehired 2 different managers throughout that season!

If in the summer you were offered 67 million plus Coutinho for Grealish would you have accepted it?

If I’m being brutally honest I would have said no at the time. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and look back and realise I would have been wrong but have answered based on how I felt back then.

Never interested me tbh, I’m all for legalisation and regulation of recreational drugs but would never use it myself.

To be fair to him it seems everyone under 30 is flat out on the blow these days. I went to the pub for a pint last night and it was like a snowstorm in the toilets. We used to put bleach on the cisterns in the good old days, took the nose off them 

I remember when I worked in a pub back home when one of the barmen had done this on the toilet seat lid, when to do an inspection and came back with his hand caked in coke.

I turned 30 couple weeks ago and have never done a line in my life.

For anyone interested.

Why do arsenal fans delude themselves that our young talent are fans of theirs

This is how I felt watching him last night….

Just managed to get a ticket in L5, had literally just been re-listed.
