The women's Euro 2017 championships, will it be on the BBC's red button interactive service?

By the way, Steedeel, congratulations on becoming a Blu-ray baron. Am thinking of that classic Simpsons episode where Homer is the Beer Baron.

Thanks buddy.

Well, Everton have had 30 million bid accepted for Pickford. Hope we see some of that money.

Don't know why Everton want another keeper and to pay that much for him but its a good deal for Sunderland.

He is worth it Tob. Still a bit raw but he could be England's no 1 in a few years.

Wonder what GVortex thinks out about it.

Couldn't help but laugh at Craig Brown's comments this week. He said the Aberdeen manager is better than Sunderland. Yeah sure Craig, a tin pot league with one good team lol. What a clown.

Hi guys, just to let our regulars know about the name change. It's to accommodate the championship (not self serving honestly) and all other leagues in England and obviously the Scottish leagues. Non league, Welsh and Irish leagues welcome as well obviously.

Nothing to talk about my end yet as we await news of a takeover with 3 parties interested. It's going to be tough to get promoted this year, looks like we are playing catch up (AGAIN)

I don't want to lose Alex Chamberlain with the news today that Chelsea are in the race with Liverpool and Man.City to sign him.

Can we add Irish to the title thread please.

No mate my fault i should have said.

[Steedeel]

Derby at home our first game. Picked for Sky on Friday 4th August. Hopefully we might have a manager by then. Oh and a owner! Not forgetting new players.

[Steedeel]

What do you think of your new manager Geoff?

I wish Arsenal would end their interest in Lacazette the Lyon Chairman is playing to much games in the media to make this difficult.
Lyon want a good deal i understand but the games they are playing could see them losing that big transfer fee for him and they could have a unhappy player next season if they continue like this.
As for us i rather we end or interest in him and move on in the market we are taking too long again as we do in every transfer market under Wenger and i won't be surprised if this was his only focus so far.

Great player though Tob. He would make an impact I would imagine.

He would Steedeel but with this deal at this stage i rather we walked away and move on to different targets are you worried yet that Sunderland don't have a manager yet Steedeel.

We don't even have a owner Tob. Every day I read 'new ownership close' but still nothing. It's going to be a **** up of a season again. No time to plan and get signings in.

[Steedeel]

What a depressing day. First I learn Bluray is to deprived of a directors cut for a Bluray I was planning on getting and will instead get the release via digital.

Next, the takeover falls through.

Finally, we look like getting Simon Grayson as boss.

Some day I just think, why do I even bother.

And we still have to get through another month without football.
