Will be keen to hear how Mat Phillips has tricked the MRI scanner into showing up a torn hamstring which he has allegedly faked

From the saves he’s made in the last few games he’s probably about par for the season. He’s lost us points against Blackburn and Huddersfield but won us points against Leeds and Millwall. Best keeper in the division… never in a million years.
He would be better going abroad and away from all the likely protests a transfer here would inevitably bring, I would imagine a Galatasaray or Fenerbahce will come calling
The victim could have gone ahead with the criminal case and then looked at compensation in a civil court, but domestic abuse is a strange offence with complex psychological factors. There's lots of study into it and even without Greenwood's multi millionaire celebrity status and the attention the case would have had making it more pressured than normal, you will still find lots of victims decide to forgive and stay with their abuser in some form of strange Stockholm like syndrome. The fact Greenwood can then offer a lifetime of unimaginable wealth to go with the usual factors is just another advantage Greenwood had in getting his partner to withdraw her support for the prosecution (if, as is almost certainly the case, that is what has happened).
Football, great to have it back isn't it , I really don't see the point in complaining after every game the club atm is up the creek without a paddle if you class yourself as a supporter now is the time to get behind the team and manager they need the fans more than ever. Corberan is a young ambitious manager who is probably busting a gut to get a tune out of the motley crew that is our first team squad.
You want a new manager be careful what you wish for.
Agree there has to be some kind of talks occurring or he wouldn't be named.
WBA twitter moaning he ain't got no money if true. If he tries a touch he will already be leagues ahead of Lai- money or not.
If we don’t strengthen our attacking options then I see us in a relegation fight . We are one injury away from having no senior strikers available for a good portion of the season !
It's the benefit of having saleable assets, something we sorely lacked in our relegation, when only an underpriced Pereira could attract interest.
It's like Burnley last season managed to shift 4 players for 65m, and reinvest 40m of it. These 3 clubs will end up making large profits also because they all have saleable assets and likely won't give them away at a pittance like we do.
It really shows up our approach to transfers and recruitment.
On fire in todays training session footage the club have posted. Looks slimmer too, could just be me.
At least!
One thing that crossed my mind when reading this is Lai now prepared to completely sell everything not strapped down at the club in order to clear the MSD loan so he can continue funnelling money out of the club to China.
The positive for us on the Leeds link is that their club is close to being sold to an American Group (49ers) and their director of football, Victor Orta, who rated Corberan has already left so it is not clear how much interest they have left in our manager. That said, the President of this new group buying Leeds has oddly been on the Leeds board since 2018 so it's not a completely fresh revolution; and if not Leeds then other clubs in time will come sniffing.
Be interesting to see what we announce (or fail to announce) over the summer with the CEO role; as I can't imagine the manager is happy with the present skeleton set-up. He will want clarity on his budget and someone he trusts to work with on player trading; presently there is nobody left at the club with any strong links to agents or the industry, outside whatever scouting department we have.
I had a season ticket for a few seasons in the past but I would never but one now. The reason being that any money paid to the club is money paid to Lai, which is something I will never do. As soon as hes gone I will renew again but there is no way I am putting money in his pocket.
I will watch the majority on Sky for free ................... Happy days !!!
