Not bad at all if confirmed.

Now we need a Round, Flanagan. Hawkyard, Ford, Clark, Platt... then we'd be more than Ok.

What does breaking away do? What would you get from it?

Full back - Wing - Forber, Nisbet Centre - Davies, Halves - Prop - Chapelhow, Farnworth, Hooker -Wildie, Butterworth Back row - Lannon, Day Loose - Squad = 9 I think this is right?

Not sure many will watch but it’s here anyway!

Chelsea and Liverpool are both part of the top 4 cabal, so no they haven’t broke into it. Both have been the highest spenders on transfers in more than a few seasons. Chelsea bought god knows how many players in the last couple of years. Brighton, Brentford and Villa all have had to sell their best players after a good season, thus never threatening break the stranglehold. The only team to break the stranglehold, cheated.

No Farnworth?

Which club in the last couple of decades has done that?

I agree they are guilty. And should have a big punishment. My main point is, the rules stop Villa or Newcastle breaking into the 'top 4' cabal. City only broke in because they broke the rules.

Might be off again…

The rules are rubbish. When a team like Villa gets in the top 4 but the next season has to sell players rather than consolidate then I don't think the rules do anything but protect a fixed 'top' 4.

Yes not quite what it would have been a few years ago.

I should have said league game, but still quite a unusual set of circumstance!

Another fun fact.... Newcastle have not played London, Oldham or Doncaster yet this season.

Riley Dean has signed for Halifax.
