Seeing Bournemouth's new training ground, the design looks like an absolutely elite club facility.
Can't help thinking that the plans for #itfc new training ground, by comparison, look a little ordinary. Obviously hard to tell from just plans and rendered images, but hope we show massive ambition.

Find the whole "the championship was better" or "hate the PL product" narrative a bit defeatist from some #itfc fans.
We all want #itfc to compete against the best and the standard of PL football is indisputably that. Feels like giving up and just wanting something easier just to win more often.

Genuine question- does Al-Hamadi start on Sunday?
If, as suspected, he isn't 100% fit then, as much as he isn't offering much to the first team, he's the only other forward option so possibly can't do without him either for next few weeks (as odd as that seems) #itfc

What is going on with #itfc set pieces? We've had some admittedly near misses, but our last goal from a set piece must go back to last season?
And we have a set piece coach now- is it fair to be critical of involvement, when we haven't conceded from many either?

Two set-pieces again last night. 22 goals from corners since the start of last season.

Nicolas Jover’s Arsenal stats are off the chart – so how much is he worth?
Both of Arsenal's goals against Manchester United came from set pieces and their routines caused all sorts of problems once again

Really need a poll function on BlueSky!
Who starts in CM?
Morsy/Cajuste, unchanged from Spurs?
Phillips/Morsy, back to Leicester that worked so well?
Phillips/Cajuste, relatively untried and with so much potential?
I think Phillips comes back in and Cajuste is really unlucky #itfc

It’s seven months until Gianni Infantino’s ‘unforgettable celebration of our game that will revolutionise club football’. But sponsors and TV are among those who are still far from convinced.

Assuming Omari was left out with an injury on Friday, will be interesting to see if he makes an appearance tomorrow for the U21s.
I'm slightly reassured that it can't be anything serious otherwise he'd have been withdrawn from the squad. Unless he has and I missed it?! #itfc

It's a nice change to watch a video in a tweet and not then immediately find I'm seeing the same advert for Teemu(?) again.

Has the new Training Ground planning application been uploaded to the planning portal yet? Assume there would be plans, elevations, access plans etc on it? #itfc

For this new #itfc timeline....
Assuming Jacob Greaves is back available for the Man United game, would you-
a.) get him straight into the team, he's our best defender?
b.) keep Burgess in initially as reward for performances?
c.) keep Burgess as he's now equally as good in the role?

For all new #itfc fans joining Blue sky, would recommend adding the below feed to your account and then you can add it to the top of your home page.
Then you can quickly view the #itfc timeline and hopefully find new followers in there too!

A Bluesky exclusive for you (unless you were at the recent live shows): via pod listener Isaac — from an animal park on the outskirts of Bordeaux — the greatest "footballers' names in things" we've ever been sent.

Good to see that this place is really getting some traction now, suddenly my feed is full of content and more followers!
Will still use Twitter for a while longer, but this is a better alternative than Threads I think, which is just too clunky.

Suspect it might take some time (Twitter still much better for engagement), but so far I like the way this app operates far more than Threads, which is a mess.
