Pre-Season 2025

Gibbs-White starts.

99p you say...
Not like I have much else to do today. Obviously I'll try not to shout (mutter) boo at the laptop.

Three at the back or Morato/Carmo at left back

Just had to re-register. I guess I haven't used it for a few seasons. It would've been to watch some free pre-season friendly in Portugal.
Having just checked it was the 3-0 win v Malaga 7 years and 3 days ago. I remember Osborn scoring a top corner belter. Hardly surprising they deleted a 7 year dormant account.

(Gil Dias and Hillal Soudani scored the other goals).

Abbott played full back in the cup semi didn't he?

Monaco's manager is either a nazi or a big fan of big boobs in orange bikinis, or both.

Taiwo on the bench, too - which suggests his recovery is going better than many (including me) expected

Chicago will be along in a minute to proclaim he is the Messiah.

Not really. Just to proclaim that Guru is a fuckwit.

I don’t know how any of us survived the Pandemic.

Chicago: Knowing me onions.

PS: can somebody tell me if the Monaco lad we are interesting in is any good…

Wood v Dier in the rain looks like a lack of pace battle for the ages.

That shirt is giving me Robert Rosario / Gary Bannister vibes.

Carmo looks decent on the ball… but not a left back!

What's the opposite of putting yourself in the shop window? Because MGW is doing it.
Losing yourself in the stockroom?

Sangaré & CHO looking good, though

And Sels, who has been superb so far

Completely different 11 for second half. Including Taiwo, who looks about 30% fit (but great to see him).

20 mins in, some good touches from Jimmy Sinclair, Dale Taylor & Marco Stamenic. O’Brien & Richards pretty woeful. Miguel a couple of decent saves.
