I think it has come to pass that the days of the school of science or the dogs of war are at an end and we are just a common or garden relegation team up until the point were we are actually relegated.

Individual preseason results are irrelevant but a trend is a different matter. It would appear that we have got rid of very average players but it now appears those average players where the best we had, unless Moyes gets the nine players he says he needs it will be more of the same this season.

As a northerner I should be rooting for Donegal, as someone who spends time in and around Malin I should be rooting for Donegal and as someone who used to meet Jim Mc Guinness regularly when he used to visit Castlewellan in County Down to meet up with his collage mate I should definitely be...

Are you sure we didn’t buy Mary Berry.

I have been lamenting the similarity of this brand new dawn with some of our past brand new dawns that transpired to be a continuation of the long dark nights. I typify the “it’s the hope that kills you” syndrome, I fall for it every time. I so much want to see this club at the upper end of the...

I couldn’t care less about preseason games. They are about finding out what you can or can’t do. So far we have found out that there is a lot we can’t do. Experiment, try things out and if they don’t work then try something different. Anyone with an ounce of understanding will know that the only...

Dick Turpin, more like.

Not being English or Swedish or having any interest in women’s football I never entertained watching tonight’s Euro game but having seen England had come back from 2-0 down I thought it would be interesting to watch. Never again, I have a grandson who will be 2 in three months and he makes a...

Played in short bursts, had ability but something was missing and it stopped him being able to replicate his best on a regular basis. However, as with all our former players who aren’t going to come back and haunt us I wish him well.

Apart from retaining Braithwaite, making Alcaraz permanent, retaining Gueye and buying a centre forward for north of £27 million but I take your point.

We have been to Italy but it was before she was diagnosed, thanks for the tip, we will have a look at Italy.

I have been sceptical about this transfer window, but my scepticism is born out of a lifetime of supporting this great club, we have recently been been somewhat lacking in the transfer market. This would appear to be a significant upgrade on what we have had in front of goal for a while however...

This is Everton,I won’t believe he is our player until he has played at least 10 games and has been injured at least twice.

Imagine being a supporter of a club which identified their transfer targets, went out and bought them and done so early to allow them time to settle in to the team in time for the season starting. Can’t see any fun in that.

Mrs C and I are back from 10 days in Peurto Pollensa, Majorca, we really like it for a beach holiday. She is coeliac and has to be very careful in restaurants, we have no problem eating out in Peurto Pollensa. Only issue we had was that we seemed to always end up close to English people whore...

I am looking forward to the trial of Mo Chara, it will be extremely interesting to see how his defence will play out. We live in a country where terrorist flags and emblems are on display every day. Today on my way to and from work I passed through a village where there were UVF flags hanging...

I have said it before but I think it is worth repeating; this transfer window feels very familiar.

I realise that it is going to be costly to replace him but I think it is something we need to do if we are going to improve in any sort of meaningful way. He doesn’t score enough goals and he doesn’t bring others into scoring positions. Add to that he now appears injury prone and I don’t believe...

I think we have to give him a two year contract, he is head and shoulders above anything we have in his role and while he is knocking on a bit he still does a good job for us. To get someone in as good as him would cost a lot of money which is better spent on fixing problems elsewhere. I will...

I wouldn’t be a Kneecap fan but then I don’t really like any rap music. The business of banning them I really find disturbing, the lad has not been found guilty of anything but the establishment is clamouring to ban them. I dare say if you looked through the history of all those who have...
