Incredible seeing some our fans wanted Cole sold, absolutely insane.

Even worse seeing the more emotionally unstable ones ttat would rather sell him and keep Enzo. Probably the same loons that wanted us to sell Reece James.

Proof, yet again, that access to the internet should be subject to an IQ test.

He’s pish!

Saw Tull live a couple of weeks ago (well... Ian Anderson and younger associates playing Tull songs). Still good, and they played (some of) Thick as a Brick.

Can Ian still sing?

His voice still sounds the same. He can't hit the high notes any more, although apparently that's the result of throat surgery he had in the 80s rather than age.

I saw them back in the day. !978 and 1980 at Hammersmith Odeon. Both fantastic gigs. Thick as a Brick was played at both.

Anderson's voice has not aged well. Used to be great.

If he cant replicate his previous form he showed for us again first half next season, he should be moved on. If he isnt scoring or creating, he's dead wood and a player that needs to be carried.

Next season is his make-or-break for his career.

CFC cant be carrying players not pullling their weight. We have Enzo, Garnacho, Gittens, Neto, Forfana all playing like a bunch of tossers. Hope Cole uses the summer to get his head right because his body language has been atrocious at times.

Why are there rumours of a move away popping back up? No one is paying £120m+ for a player who has been poor for 18mths. The United one is silly; Fernandes is the better player presently, and they play with pace on the wings.

Of course he is, but they would be mad not to be looking for a replacement as he's 31. Realistically he has 1-2 seasons left at this level but it wouldn't be surprising to see Barcelona or PSG try and bring him in as an experienced head.

Hopefully they are stupid enough to think Mateus Cunha is his replacement.

There are so many football based documentaries on the TV at present, will pick out the ones worth watching. But last night I did watch the one that mainly focused on Cole Palmer (along with Guehi, Watkins and Mainoo) and mainly covering the last Euro's tournament.

Cole came across pretty well to be fair. Very humble with a good family around him (although he has since split from his long-term girlfriend who was featured in the programme). He's just a lad who loves playing football and when he's on form, he's very good at it. Sad that he won't be at the World Cup, as it is the stage his sort of talent deserves, but just hope a good summer off than back in for pre-season with a PROPER coach and next season, Alonso will get the very best out of him as he is an absolute gem.

From memory it was reported that she wanted to get married. He didn't. We've all been there.

How do you sell premium ice? I'm a big fan of Palmer, but ever since he started making himself into a brand, it feels like he has become too distracted.

I just hope Xabi can get him back to being the exceptional talent that we all have seen playing for us previously

FFS seriously?!

"Premium Craft Ice" ... LMAO.

Surely his agent will make him a laughing stock with this sort of crap ! Watch it fly off the shelves LOL

I need this brother unleashed this season.

I was sure it was a windup and people here were falling for it like idiots, but apparently it's real. There's supposedly a range, including "chewable" ice with (of course) electrolytes, and the water is filtered to remove impurities and frozen slowly, which makes the ice appear extra-clear. Oh, and I think Madonna's involved somehow.

£4 for a four-pack of novelty football-shaped ice cubes.. when will they be available in Germany?
