Without bringing the politics into it, made me laugh!!! https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/richard-madeley-interview-gavin-williamson-good-morning-britain-elephant-putin-a8375061.html Shame more interviewers can’t take this line. Might get more answers from politicians from both sides of the aisle.

Sounds like a good prospect to me, and just the kind of player I want to see us signing - young, hungry, on the way up. That's how successful clubs operate. And if it's a sign that we're going to play more football on the floor next season, all the better. Just give the lad time, he's young and learning. Now he just needs to get a haircut.

We did need another CM. Liam Noble is non-existent all the time

Enjoy the (what another one!!!) trip!

As I don't read the S*n all that has passed me by, but how ridiculous are the stories about the cheap flights and Primark? If he'd chartered his own flight they'd be whipping up outrage over that too.

In his interview he said he was looking forward to being number one and battling with Bran so assume he’s been told we’re not looking elsewhere. Good news as he looked a good keeper imo. Keep the transfers to slots that need them!

I hate the Sun with a passion (along with the Daily Mail), when I started reading the story I thought what a load of old rubbish, then I read on and thought to myself if my son had been shot dead perhaps I’d feel different about guns being glamourised, finally I got to the end of the article and read Sterling’s account of why he has the tattoo and I can accept that if it is true, it certainly seems plausible.

FA have backed Sterling

The S*n doesn't like the fact that a confident black man is excelling in a profession which is a dream for many and getting paid highly for it as well. They simply have it in for him. It's not just this gun tattoo thing, it's other completely trivial rubbish done just to rile up the gammon brigade and attempt to turn the guy into an object of ridicule.

Total non news story. He has a tattoo on his own body, not for others to judge. People go around idolising crack-head music stars, a footballer gets a gun tattoo and the world loses their collective mind.

Meh, the officials may have some explaining to do one day but I'm not bothered. I just hope we are stronger and better next time we play them so that we can show them how horrible they were. Very poor winners!

now the seasons over what are your plans until the pre season? anyone up to anything nice?

Entirely agree, we need to move on, we can’t change what’s happened.

As a certain Manchester band sang two decades ago, "Don't Look Back In Anger"... I know, it's incredibly frustrating, but we gotta let it go and just crack on with the 46 games in the pondlife division next season. Coventry aren't going to care if we remain bitter or not, they're in League One now. Who knows, this time next year we'll be in League One and they back in League Two, or maybe not, but either way, it's not our concern now. Need to just suck it up and get on with our own business.

Wes Morgan would be a solid signing but I don't buy into this rumour at all. He won't join Notts.

I will be watching the World Cup and keeping tabs on the transfer activity across the leagues.

It's a sign of madness replying to myself but I'll do it anyway! I suffered play-off disappointment part four at the weekend. Waldhof managed to secure a play-off spot for the third season running, this time playing KFC Uerdingen (who once played in the Bundesliga under the name Bayer Uerdingen). Waldhof managed to lose the away leg 1-0 after missing two gilt-edged chances but still had a chance going into the home leg. More than 24,000 were there but to be honest there was a bit less of a buzz in the air compared to the last two seasons. The match proved to be an unforgettable one. In short, Uerdingen won 2-1 and secured promotion (more on that later). But it's the scenes off the pitch that will stay longer in the memory. About the time that Waldhof equalised, a group of Uerdingen followers marched unhindered into a home block accommodating many families and started picking fights (there were loads of riot police about, but they were standing outside the stadium). With about ten minutes to go, with Waldhof on the attack but chasing what looked like a lost cause and with some of their more intellectually challenged supporters feeling they had a point to prove, certain elements among the ultras started throwing bangers and fireworks onto the pitch and didn't stop. It looked like a coordinated action. Eventually the match was abandoned and the visitors awarded a 2-0 win (meaning Waldhof's first play-off goal in six attempts was effectively scratched off). Oh, and all this was on national TV as well. What a sad end to a great season. I'm still much angrier about those scenes and the morons who tried to injure players and stewards than I am about any football match. If you'd asked me on Sunday, I'd have said that I'll never return. However, I've been going for ten years now, I care more than is good for me and I don't want to leave the club to the morons, so I probably will. The club has been very accommodating to the ultras in the past - they can make block bookings for tickets, have a container within the ground and stand in a seated area behind the goal. All that is now over - from next season they're going back to the proper terrace in the corner. The ultras have been a great asset to the club over the years but many people's patience with them has run out. The idiots among them have got to go. Here's the choreography prepared before the match before everything fell to pieces, on the topic of rising from the dead. The zombie appears at about 1.10. It'll be a while before we see anything like this again, sadly. There might be a postscript though - Uerdingen failed to submit the deposit for the license for the third division in time, which according to the rules is grounds for rejection. In that case, the losing team in the play-offs goes up. This story could yet get more bizarre still...
