(Just a polemic I feel strongly about, no need to drag the pod into ultra-serious territory if you don't want to!)

Example: Northampton loaned (at a cost) Dara Costello & Ben Perry & developed them into 1st team players last season. This summer, both are sold by the parent clubs for a rumoured £750k combined, NTFC get nothing. Its akin to private landlords buying, then fleecing renters and inflating the market

Idea: I think the loan market should be abolished. I think it will stop the stockpiling of talent by the rich, give smaller clubs the financial rewards for developing players, and I think it might actually make wages demands attainable for smaller clubs. Is this a sensible or stupid idea?

Any idea how big the market for free agents is? I imagine their demands will start to decrease in the next couple of weeks and options of NGW quality might become attainable.

After 90mins a player is removed from each team every two mins until it's just the goalkeepers slugging it out. You'll soon get a goal

Any word on whether any of the trialists are going to Spain?

I thought he was better than national league south, did a good job in League Two. Hope he makes his way back up in time

After 150 years isn't it about time we had a word for "half time in extra time"?

Good knowledge. "Inspired by Runen..."
What they've done to the letter A... they deserve to be losing

Is the typeface on their shirts meant to look like a tech sci-fi dystopian b-movie? Worthy of sanctions in my opinion

I understand it must be hard for people who grew up in the 60s and 70s to accept music being political.

A shout to Radiohead, 97-03. Became one of the biggest & most inventive bands in the world without having a "Look". They seemed unremarkable &, for me, that made them idols. Showed you can be brilliant yet weird without a specific wardrobe & the right bone structure. In retrospect, that meant a lot
