You can't beat win ugly. It could even be said our fate was hanging on a wire, but that might be considered disrespectful by our Nordic cousins. |

KVY was in the starting XI for the first half against Norwich today, so hopefully that's a good sign. There was a trialist in goal too - did anyone see the match? |

So for those listening to the BBC commentary of Egypt Australia you will have heard the suggestion that FIFA were thinking about bringing the kickoff forward to 7pm Sunday UK time because of anticipated storms. Great news for the UK audience, much less so for the team. Latest I can find, looks like FIFA are going to row back on this idea and leave things as they are. We shall see… |

I think Leake can also play centre back, which will definitely help once injuries start taking their toll. |

To be honest, considering we’re only just into July, I’m quite happy with business so far. No. 1 and no. 9 still might need a bit of work though. However, if Samson can fully realise and live up to his genuine potential, maybe less so for the latter. |

Yeah, probably will - either stay up or get up - not sure which yet. Harry came good in the end, but if we don't significantly improve on yesterday's performance, we'll be coming home. |

I'd be delighted if we got Alastair Smith back, thought he was very good for us. Another six-footer too, 6' 4" and surprisingly good with the ball at his feet for a tall lad. |

I would imagine Posh offered what we couldn't really refuse, they have form where that is concerned. |

That's terribly sad news, he did so much for the U's as chairman. I had the pleasure of meeting Peter just the once, on the train from London for our first match at the JobServe, I wish I had more memories to cherish.
RIP Peter, and condolences to all your friends and family. |

Doesn’t surprise me, firm fan’s favorite with the Spireites, he’s done really well there. One who slipped through our net I reckon. |

Possibly mixing multiple threads, but after the performance of the Canadian keeper, Goodman to get a start next round? |

In the context of the ongoing World Cup, what if you were Robbie Cowling and could remortgage/ sell everything you own, call in all the debts, clear out down the back of the sofa, win EuroMillions, even liquidate JobServe if needs be, and somehow have enough to buy one single world class footballer.
Everyone else would be the usual mix of seasoned pros, talented youngsters and loans.
Who would you buy, and would it make a difference to next season?
I'd give Mbappe a go - still young enough, and surely he would have a significant impact on our XG stat conversions? Would it be enough for promotion? I think it might. |

Good result for Iran tonight, and to be honest, well-deserved. There'll be tomato sauce on the walls of the White House tonight. |
