In the recent official pics of the players playing pong Konsa was in training gear, no knee brace etc. That’s hopefully pretty positive.

And the daft twat said the Industrial Revolution started in Trafford Park. Talk about revisionism!

By this time next week, they'll have founded the Football League as well.

They've already got the museum to prove it. Same with the industrial revolution, guess where the Science and Industry museum is? I'll give you a clue, the same museum claims the industrial revolution started in Manchester.

They really have no shame. According to any Manc with a voice, they'll tell you they also invented house music. There was a reason Shameless was filmed in Manchester.

I've heard them say that too.

The Bee Gees is one that amuses me. They lived there for three years before they founded the band and they claim them based off that.



In fairness I always claim Christine McVie because she was in chicken shack and lived Smethwick way for a bit

His return would be a nice boost for the Luton game. (Don't want to be too greedy)

Tomorrow will be 3 weeks since when Konsa picked up the injury so he must be close to being back. Almost 2 weeks since Carlos picked his one up too so shouldn't be far behind.

England still third in the coefficient calculation at the moment, with 6/8 clubs remaining. Germany now have 6/7 clubs and Italy 7/7 in second and first place respectively.

France in 4th also have 6/6, and Spain, 5th, 6/8 teams left in.

The top two countries get the additional Champions League place (i.e. 5th in the Premier League would get a spot).

They award points for wins, topping groups etc. The better each countries do, the more points and higher ranking. So, to get the extra place, we should want English clubs to do well, or at least better than our near rivals... The more clubs that stay in competition, the more points the country accrues.

The two countries with the top coefficient for this season get an extra place in the Champs League next season.

You would expect Man City and Liverpool to go far in the 2 comps.

And us in the Conference League. Opta are predicting England will go further than Italy and Germany in the competitions.

So Brighton and West Ham progressing against an Italian and German side respectively would help.

However, all that being said, I'd rather finish 4th, qualify on our own and wish them all to lose all their games.
