I missing ?

[GloverMart]

Moses found in the bullrushes..... reeds / reids, I guess.

[TCEvo]

Yep

[BrabusMog]

Probably a bit high brow for us boys

Are we getting Borini - http://www.teamtalk.com/news/2483/9897821/Gossip-R...

Anybody know much about him?

[RichB]

Dunno but Dicksie will soon knock him into shape if he's no good

L'pool bench warmer. Rather have Austin!

Think we were connected w/ him last year but nothing came of it.

He's also taken John Hartson - the bench will be interesting during games & somewhat more animated than the last couple of seasons

[RichB]

Is Hartson a certainty as forward coach? I heard we'd put in for Tony Cottee...

thought it was but I can't find any official confirmation.

Cottee's often about the place - he appears to have made up w/ the owners after they booted him out a while back

[TCEvo]

Sounds like a fairly young starting XI for this evenings game - anyone going; I can't make it so have given my tickets to a mate.

Sell out at UP which is pretty good going - oppo bring 82 apparently.

[bad company]

No I'm not going, amazed it sold out tho.

Hopefully I'll be able to watch some of the second half.

Saw on twitter that it's only 39 days since the PL season finished & that we'll be the second earliest start for a new season since Fulham a few years back (also in UEFA).

[BrabusMog]

I couldn't get back in time to make it, but I'm not surprised it sold out - first time in 10 years we are in Europe and a first chance to say hello to Bilic. Thanks for the link, will be watching later.

I think SB will be in the stands (although giving the pre-match team talk) with Academy manager Terry Westley taking charge for the evening.

Believe that Reece Oxford's starting as well - should be interesting.

I assumed he was going to plug in his guitar and belt out a version of Bubbles before the start.

That would quite possibly be the cheesiest thing to ever happen at UP

£10 for adults £5 for kids and 35,000 people on a warm summer's evening under the lights. Should be noisy!
