Willock & QPR couldn't agree new terms so he's gone to Cardiff. Shame but he's not as much independent as his agent/dad thought. Pity we missed out on a fee, but if he doesn't want to be here,don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Clickbait sites saying
1 Newcastle may want a fee for Hayden
2. We will struggle to mat h his PL level wages. Colour me shocked 😲

There's some horrendous journies involved in those games, few of which can be taken by train. Sky and the PL, in particular, are just not interested in those fans who follow their team, home and away. They are more interested in the casual fan who'll pay a premium price for the 1 game they go to every 5 years, buying loads of crap pmerchandise while there.
And the 3pm KOs have to be kept away from live broadcast. Not for the PL. Not even the Championship, but for L1/2 and below. |

It's because he had a great season last year that he's of interest to PL clubs. He always had quality. The doubts were fitness.
6/7m seems about right for a suitor with £40m burning a hole in their pockets |

The England team that won the World Cup in 1966 ( I'm old enough to gave gone to 2 of the games) had 4 players who were the best in the world for their positions. Banks, Moore, Wilson and Bobby Charlton.
No England side since has been as blessed. Certainly not this one.
For years we've been ranked between 4 and 10 in the world, so reaching the semis of major competitions is better than any reasonable expectation |

I think this is as likely as Liam Morrison arriving. Like for like replacement before sorting out a departure? |

That's just a rerun of the Brexiteers and Faragist post election views.
Starmer's speech outside no 10 was far more inclusive and conciliatory. Whether he can deliver for ALL is a different matter, TBC. |

The trouble is that the amount of predictable revenue the clubs will receive outweighs the loss of revenue from those who cant/won't actually attend because of changed KO times.
For me, as an overseas fan, I've subscribed to iFollow, which h brought in additional revenue to the club. With 20 games scheduled for Sky, it no longer makes it viable. |

My 2 takeaways
Labour won with about 34% of the vote. #GTTO was a big driver.
The turnout was a historic low.
Starmers speech outside no 10 was excellent. Can he deliver for All the country? Can he deliver at all, when there are so many difficult issues?
If he can get the economy growing, fix NHS and reduce immigration he'll get back in 5 years. If he doesn't the honeymoon will only last a few months. |

Declan Firth won't be coming to us.
Rumours about Thordarson, an Icelandic midfielder from Silkeborg. Was suggested by Greg Spires back in April.
Later news suggests Preston are now favourites. |

If Radacanu can slaughter a player as highly ranked (33 in the world) as Mertens and stays fit, she will be a top 10 player again. Soon. |

It helps that Paal and Chair can talk to each other on the pitch in a common language that isn't English. Flemish, Dutch, maybe even French. |

Do we need Marti as Head Coach, XAVI as his assistant plus another First Team Coach?
Maybe there will be a replacement for Hall, but who knows? |

Couple of sites suggesting Willock although OOC, is minded to stay with us. |

Rees Mogg virtually admitted that voter ID was an attempt to gerrymandering. By making it easier for the old, who tend to vote Tory and more difficult for the young. Example was Senior Railcard was valid ID, Student card wasn't valid.
It backfired as many older people didn't take valid ID with them. And they weren't going out twice. |

Farage lying? Surely not?
Like a posh version of Arthur Daley. Anybody trusting him needs to have a serious look at their "contract". It makes Brexit look deliverable and Truss a model of common sense. |
