I'd like him to go outside his man once in a while instead of cutting in, but what he does do he does very well (see first goal today!).

A badge is just a badge! I am far more bothered that we assemble a decent team to represent us, one which gives us aspirations of promotion & at least finally finishes in the top half of the Championship table. We're doing pretty good on that front this summer from what I can see. #scfc

This week my mind has mainly been on Stoke's potential signing of a Slovakian midfielder & the huge figure of the Surrey groundsman who stood up to that idiot Gambhir. Yes, you could say Rigo-Fortis has set in. #scfc #englandcricket

I still find breakfast-time football an odd thing, after years going to 3pm games, the build-up to the game from meeting up for a drink beforehand, hearing the team news, the walk to the ground as anticipation mounts. Not the same stumbling out of bed bleary eyed to turn on the laptop or the telly.

Looking forward to a fairly full Stoke team, with 4 new signings on display, being tested by a very good BHA side on Wednesday. Will MR mix it up or play strongest team 1st half, squad players 2nd half? #scfc

Back row is toughest as there are 6 who could legitimately have a claim to start. In my other post I did say Earl should be on the bench. Beirne I would have starting in the 2nd row with Maro.

Poor opposition really, but Jones & Morgan may have sneaked into Test consideration & Pollock the labrador puppy may be an option off the bench. White might challenge Mitchell for understudy to JGP.

"Impressed" doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence. Impressed in September, then coasted along looking barely interested and being dropped to the bench for most of the rest of the season is a tad more accurate.

Lions Test team? Genge, Sheehan, Furlong, Itoje, Beirne, Chessum, Morgan, Conan; Gibson-Park, Russell, Lowe, Aki, Jones, Freeman, Keenan. Some tight calls in a couple of spots, especially back row & centre. I'd have Earl, Curry & Pollock as impact subs. #Lions2025

Robins' favoured back 3 formation seems more possible now: Johansson; Wilmot, Talovierov, Cresswell; Tchamadeu, Lawal, Burger, Bocat; Thomas, Mubama, Manhoef. It puts a bit of strain on the middle 2 CMs, mind. #scfc

I can see us having to sell 1/2 we'd rather keep if we're to have the funds to do the business we need to do this summer. If no one comes in at the right price for Burger, Junho, Milly etc., it may mean the likes of Sol and Lowe (pure profit in PSR terms) being sacrificed. 2/2

We must deal in some freebies & loans, maybe 5/6 altogether. Sales might mean we buy 4/5 more, but if not, we may only have enough cash for 1 more cash buy if we're to stay within the limits of PSR. Who we sell & for how much will dictate the rest of our transfer business. #scfc 1/2

I am a "don't mess with the stripes" man regarding the home shirt. It seems most love the away shirt. Execution is a little off, but the sentiment behind it is spot on.

Jeremy Leese @caribbeanpotter.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

I'm with you on most of those. JGP a question mark on fitness (as is Williams now too) & Kinghorn is not even on tour yet (but Keenan is injured as well), so we must hope he comes in fit & hits the ground running. In the centres, I'd prefer both Scots or both Irish as a pair. I'd have Russell at 10.

We are quick to criticise the club (and I do NOT like that home shirt), but we all should be as quick to compliment them when they get something right.....and that away shirt & badge is very right! 😍😍😍

Aussies are playing here in B'dos tomorrow v WIndies for the 1st time in 10 years (yeah, thanks for the support, you flaming galahs!). I'm hoping that the home team roughs up their fragile batting unit, even if the guile of Cummins & Co should probably ensure a win. #WIvAUS

It's Soursop here, Guanabana in S. America, officially Graviola (paw paw is Papaya here, also common). Used in juices & smoothies, the white flesh can be scooped out & eaten (tastes like a cross between strawberry & pineapple). High in vit C & antioxidants, some suggest it helps with cancer.

Some people advertise their services on Oatie, a few quid a game, which is his best bet most weeks. Firestick apps could give him free telly games. Re the big C, you're telling me. We all get touched by it one way or another.

I pay each season for the club feed, have done for years. Every league game save for those on telly, no cup games. Yet to see how much it is for this season, but over 150 quid. Only for overseas fans; UK fans can pay just for radio. There are a few around who can offer pirated TV coverage in the UK.

A simple question to enable Stoke to raise funds this summer (assuming that it would raise the same amount of profit) - sell 1. Johansson & Burger or 2. Dixon, Sidibe & Lowe? I'm option 2 every day, and twice on Sunday. #scfc

Indeed, as we should be looking forward to our promising youth developing into 1st team regulars, but catastrophic mistakes of the past are coming back to bite us. It should not be a choice of keeping Sol & Jaden or Wouter & Milly, but it probably is right now. #scfc

Dixon and Sidibe going would have the least effect on the current 1st team and the greatest impact on PSR. We might not like it, but it makes total sense to me, and probably the club. #scfc
