We could take any 1 of your players on a simplistic whim without resistance I'm hoping we have our sights set higher than your goalkeeper but the Collins chap is a tantalising prospect with the age & I hope our recruitment will take him. Any one of our players? Just the one? Could I possibly intere...

Steady Aggi, Blakesboots will be on soon enough to tell you it's dangerous to talk about the academy...

Hopefully TrainingGroundGuru is correct though

Does Adeola Friday not know??

Sorry Depeche, they’re keeping me in the dark too

I don’t think that’s the case at all and it’s dangerous to say so until you know the findings and action planning coming from the audit. Dangerous?! Oh no!!! What will the auditors do to us once they've found this thread? Just how much danger are we in? Should we be packing a bag and making a run f...

Blackpool is 3 users, they don't have the ability to flood the market. There's 12 leagues tied in, with contracts for 3 years for full licencing and many more to come. Why would it suddenly go out of fashion? it's been around for over 2 years and still growing daily, I don't see fantasy football fa...

This was the one that sprang to mind, I’m assuming it’s not this one though? (Sorry, that might be very unhelpful of me!)

I didn't know this was you, assuming this is you.

Yep, it’s me. Someone used Croydon on here and I’m not there now anyway, so this is me instead

I wonder what kind of transfer funds they'd make available.

Are we likely to get one EVERY Friday?

Could be an interesting feature going forward, and one I’d support.

Gotta be better than that adeola ********….

I know I don't post often, but I wasn't expecting that. I'll do better from now on

A different approach being suggested here, using data to find head coaches instead of players.

Not quite data in coaching etc (and happy for post to be removed if not on topic), but an interesting article on how far clubs now go to get a competitive advantage. Also probably part of the reason why Arteta doesn't like our pitch, although not suggesting we should change it! ‘The Silicon Valley o...

Only remembered that I'd read the above last year after seeing this article in the Guardian analysing how the xG stat is useful but also still has flaws to be worked out:

Couldn't see a link to this article on here (apologies if posted elsewhere) but very interesting on how using data differs from traditional scouting:

The Laughing Halibut on Strutton Ground (near St James's Park tube station and New Scotland Yard) is excellent. Good portions and they do proper chip shop gravy and mushy peas too. You can sit in as well, it's one of the old fashioned ones with formica tables. The only one I've found so far that doe...
