On the subject of Brentford, Thomas Frank signed a new deal until 2025. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60110087

This came up in Early Kick Off and also in a transfer show where Roy Hodgson was the guest. I too thought he had retired and was surprised to hear him say "if the right opportunity came along". The two guests on Early Kick Off also indicated that the love of football is in them and they always come back. Also indicated the same about Ranieri. I wonder when Neil Warnock will reappear to cheer the referees on?

They were talking about the fact that Liverpool have not won a domestic cup competition under Klopp after nearly 7 years. I can't believe it is nearly 7 years since Klopp took over at Liverpool. :blink: Hoping for a Liverpool win here.

There was a Graphics forum back in the day Iz. The people in there were really good at creating banners and signatures as well as avatars. I remember two of the moderators. One was Teresa (TeresaBloom) and the other was Russ (russt68).

When I was at university, I used to look at the gaps in the timetable. If I had time for a walk between one campus and another, I would do so. Only if the time constraints were too tight or it was pouring with rain did I catch the bus between the two. I sometimes went for a walk before breakfast as well.

Colchester United have parted company with Hayden Mullins and Alex Dyer. Wayne Brown is in charge again. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60062578

I am still doing a session a day on the exercise bike, need to expand this and spend longer on it each day. Slowly building up fitness as I have to pace myself. Good luck with all the plans here.

Bit surprised at the amount of postponements, the Premier League clubs have academies/youth set ups they could call upon surely? Looking at the table currently, Chelsea have played the most amount of games on 23. Burnley have played the least with 17, one was called off because of the snow.
