    I remember reading Fran saying that before long someone born this century will be playing in the Premiership. Well, not quite the PL but a 15-year old played for Exeter yesterday in League 2, He could play only because it's the school holidays. :D

    Good win for the Seagulls last night. I think they'll go up this time.

    Hopefully, think they deserve a crack at the PL. A very well run club n more south coast representation can only be a good thing.

    Edit - also really rate Hughton n think he deserves another go too.

    I mentioned the player in another thread, Tammy Abraham who is knocking in the goals for Bristol City. I did suggest Saints get him on loan in that thread or get him signed. Could he be the next Andy Cole who makes his name with a Championship club before becoming a major PL player?

    It's obviously far, far, far too early to question Rafa's position at Newcastle (not least because I suspect they'll still be very active in the transfer window, in and out, over the next two and a bit weeks), but if they were to find themselves needing a new manager then I guess you wouldn't have to look beyond Steve Bruce.

    Bloody hell it could be worse. Sheffield United the pre season favourites for promotion are 3 nil down at home to Southend after 15 minutes.

    You have to laugh*<laugh>

    Skates 1 down too.


    *sorry Vin!

    Why did we send Gallagher there?! Would have been better loaning him to a good League One side than a terrible championship side. (At least on football manager :))

    Yep, that club is in free fall. Top to bottom, no clue.

    Anybody else noticed that Ched Evans has scored 4 goals in his first 3 league games for Chesterfield? (admit I only looked up how he was getting on as the loan watch on the OS mentioned he scored 2 against Jason McCarthy and Walsall in midweek).

    Hardly suprising he's a very decent striker at that level.

    Also saw that he's scored in 10 league games in a row, although with around a 3 year gap in between...

    Turnbull is not off to the best of starts...with Coventry up 1-0, he pulled a player down in the box, conceding a pen and earning a red. They lost, 3-1.

    Attention @fran-MLs little camera !

    A Fulham player made history today by becoming the first player born in the year 2000 to score a goal in the Championship.
