  1. The Nev/Stalk (possible) counter... It's not £20 though is it? It's £39 if you haven't bought a membership (small print, to sit in the South) That's almost double what Chansiri is claiming it to be and another example of his duplicity. Also if you've not had chance to use your membership yet then that Kop ticket becomes £70, as Chansiri robbed £50 off you back last August for the membership fee. That's almost £90 to watch Stoke in the South and you even have to bring your own tartan blanket.
  2. Isn't it more like a political office in Spain and prosecutors are elected in? If so then it's all about playing to the public arena. They played to the 'Madrid' crowd and generated a lot of publicity around wanting Messi in jail for two years for tax evasion but settled on a fine in the end.
  3. He's having trouble selling out an after dinner event at the Grange Golf Club if you fancy having a word.
  4. Palmer has become very vocal about saying how this player and that would be great fits for clubs they're currently not at. There's a few clubs not happy with him, especially Brest, over his comments on Karamoko Dembele, and Celtic around Mikey Johnston. Don't know if he's picking up fees but a few in my world think he's acting as a mouthpiece for certain agents.
  5. Thing is England C lost to Wales C last week. My mate does the analysis for England C and was gutted
  6. A few thoughts on the performance of England C team (just for Reesh) last night. First off don't complain about decisions and missed fouls/penalties/offsides if you choose to play at a stadium where VAR isn't fitted. Now to the playing side. No point in playing Moore if you're not going to have someone running off the flick ons. After the first ten mins Poland backed off to pick up the seconds as no one was near him. Why take Brennan off when he was possibly our most forward moving player. Page then realised his mistake and threw a half fit Brooks on who had to be subbed himself. Broadhead hardly got a touch when he came on and didn't take a penalty so what was the point. Ramsey would have been the better option to take the sting out of Poland being fitter in extra time. Penalties. The look on Dan James face, as he took the ball from Ward, told you he was never going to score. Hennessey should have been studying the crib sheet and Ward should have been subbed. He was never going to save any penalty and we were relying on Poland missing. Page has to go. We might have taken points off Croatia but he should have gone after we lost at home to Armenia. The players might like him but the last Euros, the World Cup and this campaign show he's no idea how to change the influence in a game. Give Steve Cooper whatever he wants for the next set of qualifiers
  7. Done some asking and they only have an option to ask him to sign, like a first refusal, so he can do the free agent trials to see if he'd be better elsewhere. The Watford rumour mill is that he wasn't happy there. Trained with the first team at the beginning of August, got on the bench against Stoke then was binned back to the 21s. Sent out loan to non league in November then they sent him out again in February. The rumour on that one is he turned up for training and was just told to head off to Haringey. He had no say. Him, and his family, have seen the progression route that has happened this season with our academy and see us as an opportunity. I'm hearing he's not afraid to graft and learn and he has the right aptitude. It's just that his whole family felt he was never told what was happening at Watford. He only joined Watford in January 23, before then he was non league, so the compensation would be minimal if anything at all.
  8. Watford u21s forward James Collins turned out for our 21s against QPR. He's 19 and highly rated by Watford so the fact that he's decided to trial for us shows well for our current academy set up. He plays in the Michael Smith role but his hold up play is better. Big and powerful lad, not easy to knock off the ball. Don't expect tons of pace from him but he's quite effective at ghosting in and around the penalty area. Been on Watford's bench once this season and been loaned out to lower leagues a couple of times as well. https://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/sport/24207698.sheffield-wednesday-take-young-watford-striker-trial/
  9. I know the race card has been played and Webber used players he was associated with but he could have levelled the same comments at Rooney and Barton. Barton, in particular would probably have gone down a particular route judging by his violent misdemeanours record while in football.
  10. It was niggly on and off the pitch all game but really kicked off after a Heanor defender got sent off for bringing down the Hucknall forward through on goal. The ref bottled at least one more red as Heanor then decided they were just gonna snap players. Finished 2-2 as Hucknall couldn't capitalise and then their support started to exit and found Heanor waiting in the car park. Mostly kids, who looked like they'd robbed a JD Sports, but quite a few old boys egging them on from behind. A few cars got damaged. Worse I saw was one fella pushed his way through with a couple of young lads, put them in the car then flew into the middle of a group and slapped about five of them before they knew what was happening. God knows what his kids thought.
  11. We've taken a look at 18 year old winger Rocco Vata at Celtic. Out of contract in the summer and not signing an extension as the expectation is Milan will come calling
  12. It's a non story that's come out of a puff piece on the i-news website. Sunderland have openly said that their next manager will be younger and more of a coach as they look to restructure the club so the i have looked around on who fits the bill. The only coach they're actually interested in is Will Still. They wanted him after they kicked out Mowbray but couldn't agree compo with Reims..
  13. This 'entitled' bollocks is spreading. You've got Man City fans throwing teddies because the season ticket price has gone up and Chelsea supporters trust depicting the owners as clowns and writing open letters saying get out of the club.
  14. I don't think the FA realised the connotations when the new cross design was sold to them by Nike. They probably just thought it matched the cuffs. As for the bisexual flag Barton makes the resemblance to, surely that's more in line with the new German away kit.
  15. Off to a localish derby tomorrow. Hucknall Town Vs Heanor. Been a bit tasty in the past and the fans aren't exactly friendly to each other either.
  16. THIS Fill Wembley with Espana 82 and Italia 90 kits instead
  17. Said on the kit thread I don't think we'll make the finals. Surprised at the scoreline as I thought Finland would offer more. Poland will turn us over on Tuesday
  18. The Welsh kits are crap but it doesn't matter as I don't think we'll get there. The Scotland one is Adidas' nod to tartan but Score Draw have seen a massive uptake of the Euro 96 tartan shirt and the 78 World Cup shirt
  19. As with all kits the governing body will have had to have signed off in it and would have been given several designs.
  20. Then please don't post it on here, unless you preface it with 'heard some right bollocks yesterday'.
  21. Oh for god's sake. If you're looking for clicks and confirmation status you're better off posting this shit on Stalk.
  22. They will have done but deflated team, downward spiral, not enough games, tried my best yada yada yada. It's easy to do and still keep a reputation in tact.
  23. @Tewksbury Back when the Star did actual reporting. Here's a piece on the accounts after Chansiri's first year. https://www.thestar.co.uk/news/accounts-reveal-sheffield-wednesday-are-debt-free-459309 "The club closed the previous financial year with a net debt of £18,678,000 but following Chansiri's purchase, they closed on May 31 last year £563,000 in the black." "Loans of £1.5m and £2.0m taken out against the Hillsborough stadium were repaid in full on February 11, 2015. Another loan of £1.6m was split into two payments of £1.2m and £0.5m were also repaid." "A £4m debt amount owed to Chansiri was exchanged for an equal amount of newly issued shares on May 29, 2015." "The accounts reveal that the club is debt free following Chansiri's takeover, which was confirmed on February 26, 2015." But by all means keep on believing Dave in the pub and not the accounts signed off by the EFL and Companies House
  24. But did you believe it? As @mkowl says there are actual paper trails registered at companies house showing the borrowing and debt placed on the ground and therefore on the club. It's also noted in the takeover papers that DC settled these debts apart from, I think, the one that remains on the accounts as serviceable. I stand to be corrected on the last part.
