Time off?

Hearts away tomorrow night, QPR away on Saturday then off to Japan for the J League World Challenge laugh
I’m going to Loftus Road on sat, looking forward to seeing some of the youngsters, always feel you see so much more at the game even more so given its not on the tellybox biglaugh
Love a trip to Loftus Road, was my first ever away game. You usually get a pretty good atmosphere biggrin
Funnily enough so was mine, was also my first appearance on Motd, in those days the away fans were along the side on the lower tier, Remember Rufus Brevett? well he was a sub warming up and if you watch closely you can see me sticking my finger up at him, thankfully you cant hear me shouting 'Rufus, smell your mum'

Class act as a kid me, parents were so proud. Makes my toenails curl just thinking about it laugh

laugh my mate got in a fight with Brevett in a nightclub back in the day laugh sadly, my first appearance on MoTD was in the crowd when Kingstonian's beat Brighton (I think) in the FA Cup which was even further back in the day biggrin

With the sale of Parrott we apparently don't meet UEFA's home-grown player rule.
Hence the ongoing interest in Gallagher.
Chelsea want £50m for Gallagher now, last year we offered £35m

Listening to Ali Gold, Mikey Moore is going to be in the first team
Squad this season and not out on loan, interesting times, only just turned 16.

Word on Jacob Ramsey coming in too with Lo Celso going the other way?

Watching one of the Spurs youtubers and he made a very good point.

Under Levy's tenure, we've had 12 permanent managers in 24 years which averages out at roughly two per year. However consider that doesn't include the 4 interim managers we've also and you are looking at less than 18 months per manager.

So based on that history and the almost complete lack of anything interesting happening this transfer window, I fully expect Levy to sack Ange by Christmas biggrin

Well, reports say Ange has been given a war chest to buy players he wants. That's usually a sacking of it doesn't go well?

Don't spend it all at once. And get a Son replacement for when he retires in 5years. Must be Korean.

Point of order m'lud. 12 in 24 years is one every 2 years.

Not a bad shout on Korean. The amount of them in the stands, on the train on match day... Nice earner that Levy will have noticed wink

I'd estimate about a 3rd of the stadium these days is Korean's. Levy isn't stupid, we are just about to sign an 18 year old Korean kid. Son is 32 and there is no way on God's earth Levy will let all that revenue walk out the door when he retires. The new signing will pretty much guarantee that continued revenue for the next 10+ years.
