Cov are going to play some of the kids against Blackburn by the sounds of it: [twitter.com]

Hopefully it's just him having a bit of a whinge...

“We have another game coming up and it’s Saturday/Tuesday/Saturday and it’s just ridiculous really. If we are going to have to play youngsters as well, then that’s what we are going to have to do.”

I'm relaxed about all of this. We are where we are because we deserve to be, if we get out of it it'll be because we deserve that too. Of course it'd be nice if results drop our way, but moaning or worrying about what others do re picking players just doesn't come into it for me.

Interesting as a comparison for the plans Knighthead have, this is the newly announced plans Chicago Bears have for their new stadium in central Chicago. The new stadium will be next to their current one, by the lake.

$5bn in total for the stadium and infrastructure.

It has a pretty cool video showing what the new stadium and surrounds will look like - hopefully we will soon see something similar for the Wheels site!

Does anyone know if the wheels site has been cleared on knot weed yet ? I'm sure I read that the site was cleared from it a few years ago. Don't know if this was correct or not.

And does anyone have any idea when the clearing of the site will commence ?

One said it would be "like having Birmingham City FC's ground in the middle of a little village".

A bit of an exaggeration there I think.

Vitesse Arnhem will be relegated from the Eredivisie after the Dutch football federation imposed a massive 18-point deduction after the club failed to meet the requirements of its licensing regulations. The deduction left Vitesse in bottom place on -1 points in the table, guaranteeing a first relegation in 35 seasons.

Just finished the 2030/31 season and blues scrapped to another final day survival on 44 points and sent West brom down to league 1.

In game, in all those seasons blues have remained in the championship the entire time, had one season where they finished in play offs and another one in 8th. The remainder have been between 12th and 21st place finishes.

Rooney survived until mid 2025/26.

Let's hope life doesn't imitate art.

And peter enckelman on the side and i don't think it would make any difference.

They’re looking for a new head of commercial too. Not sure who that was before.

I'm very principled and stick to my beliefs. A lot of people don't like me for it but I'm a very black and white kind of person. I say and do what I think is right and stick to it.
