What page? 310?

Ah, I remember something called "clowns" or something similar back in the day on teletext. Page 4-3-4. Text used to blink if a deal was done, typically just a headline, and you could phone in for the story. I vividly remember Sheringham to United all in caps blinking breaking my heart in disbelief.

Id be delighted with that (based on my minimal knowledge of each!)

CB, yes.

Looks beastly, but lacking pace?

He does look promising. Get him this year an de light next year and we can lock the centre down for a few years.

 

[Ade's folks are ok really]

I had heard of Bailey and Tah, but only in that "These names are familiar/highly rated" way. Pretty sure we were linked with Tah a year or so ago.

Yeah, we've been linked with both earlier as well.

I posted it only for the potential debate about players. Never heard of Cal before, and certainly dont put any faith in it.

Exciting prospect though, so thats something.

Not only do Burnley now have Hart, Pope and Heaton, but also former United keeper Anders Lindegaard and some 31-year old called Adam Legzdins that was brought in from Birmingham as backup last summer.

Their whole business model is about whoring for clicks/like/views/listeners. Anything that gets someone engaged. Do they even do any journalism?

Indeed, Talkbrick does exactly what it says on the tin.
