Our pre-season starts on Sunday.
We currently have no owner, manager, director of football, coaching staff or kit. Fun.

Good appointment at Leeds I think. Farke knows how to get out of the Championship.

Happy with it. Of all the names that were realistically linked he was definitely my preferred choice. A sensible appointment for a change. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

Only interim but a big step forward.

Interim is a bit of a kop out, have the courage of your convictions and give her the job FFS.
Good luck to her

Yeah sounds like they have done interim to see the reaction.

Has anyone ever heard of a game having x4 30 minute periods instead of two 45 minute halves? Grimsby have got Hull at home this weekend and so the players can get more minutes under their belt they're doing whatever the hell this is. Wish I'd bought a ticket just to experience the pure oddness of it

Wish I'd bought a ticket just to experience the pure oddness of it That sounds absurd but also makes some sense, since these games usually end up with both teams making 10 or 11 changes at half time, so this just makes it two short games with different teams instead of a full HT switch. |

Fuck me, we signed a player. Ethan Ampadu for £7m. Seems like a reasonable idea.

Less than a week till the season starts, last friendly of pre-season and… Bamford goes off injured. Who could possibly have seen that coming?

Great to see Scunthorpe a goal down in their first game after getting relegated to the National League North.

I’m not sure what’s worse, the kit itself, the very obvious racial connotations of the wording, or the idea that a club having any tradition is somehow a terrible thing.  |

It's a bit weird that anyone would try to force a move to Everton.

It is. It's also weird that anyone would think that acting like such a petulant little cunt is going to make you appealing to other clubs.

At least I don’t have to move threads again when we’re in League One next year. Small mercies.

I'll take a drab 1-0 away any day. Plus our next opponents, Cardiff, got twatted at home to QPR.
I think we MIGHT be in with a shout of going back up.

Seven subs on the bench tonight out of a possible nine. Two of them are keepers. Between all seven they have fewer than 20 combined senior appearances.

I know I said I’d be happy to leave VAR behind, but we just conceded a goal that a player who should’ve already been sent off scored with his hand, and I would like to retract my previous claim.

And now a stonewall penalty not given. I’m sorry VAR, I didn’t mean what I said before.

Then Dan James misses an open goal from two yards. Can’t really blame the ref for that though. Dan James gonna Dan James.
