Birkir Bjarnason - Released

[mr underhill]

I'm just going to call him Sir

[Dave Cooper please]

I thought Mercia was landlocked.  I suppose he could come up the Trent via Sterke.  Rape and pillage them as much as he likes.  They call it foreplay.

At it's peak Mercia stretched up to meet the sea at both The Wash and Merseyside.

[mr underhill]

I don't think the Trent is navigable from Stoke to anywhere near Birmingham is it?

According to the Inland Waterways Assoc:

The navigable river Trent runs from Wilden Ferry (Shardlow) to the Yorkshire Ouse and Humber Estuary at Trent Falls.  There are connections to the Trent & Mersey Canal (at Derwent Mouth), the River Soar Navigation (at Trent Junction), the Erewash Canal (also at Trent Junction), the Fossdyke Navigation (at Torksey), the Chesterfield Canal (at West Stockwith), the river Idle (also at West Stockwith) and the Sheffield & South Yorkshire Navigation (at Keadby).  The river is tidal below Cromwell Lock.  The river is 94.8 miles (151.6 km) long and has 11 locks.  The Navigation includes a section of the Nottingham Canal and Beeston Cut.

From when we were building Castle Vale I recall that the River Tàme was managed by the River Trent Authority.  All changed now but I assumed the Tame flows into the Trent.  Not navigable of course.  I was only funning about the invasion of Mercia.

[mr underhill]

I get that Brian - and loved the rough wooing reference to Stoke in your post!

[dave shelley]

And of course M********r has a River Tame which no doubt is longer, wider, cleaner and has bigger fish than ours.

I think it joins the Trent at Alrewas.  Ours that is.

[Matt Collins]

He clearly needs a chance

But I will say that sometimes you look at a player and just think 'no'

I did that with gestede last season. And I did it with Jedinak although in the short term he's now the only one who can protect or defence

But Thor really didn't look like my kind of player last night

[sid1964]

I hope that we kept the receipt so we can return him, looked to me as though he wont be able to cope with the physical side of the game at Championship level

Blimey, give the bloke a chance. He's only played 70 mins.
