    Viveash

    Very long, but pretty interesting interview with Adi Viveash in the CT. Really interesting to hear him talk about how much work it took to bring some players up to the required level, which players he thought developed the most and how reluctant he was to take the job long-term. Multiple...

    VAR

    Hardly the biggest takeaway from today’s result, but wondered if 99 minutes of The VAR Show has changed anyone’s minds on whether it’s a good thing for the game? Is it making games more fair? Better to watch? Is it protecting refs from criticism?

    Clean-up

    Feels like the forum in general needs a bit of a clean-up - way too many old/dormant threads pinned to the top of every forum which you need to scroll past before you even get to new posts: Main forum: * Ricoh Row/Politics/SISU Section - last post was two years ago, not needed anymore *...

    Long throws

    So it appears we have two regular starters who are capable of them now. Robins doesn’t seem that interested in using them, and it doesn’t seem consistent with the rest of our playing style. But should we just use them anyway?

    Operation Premiership

    Last time round it was a slogan without much action behind it. This time round it seems like an actual shift in the whole club’s strategy. The Premier League Packages, the transfer fees loaded with big incentives, the temporary stadium deal, the contract re-negotiations…everything at the club...

    Filthy journalists

    Post in here to express your rage/admiration at journalists Not really, but you do realise that journalism isn’t just writing? Nor is it solely dictated by unit sales, or even audience interest?

    Goalkeepers

    Moore is in awful form, despite looking good last season. Any other player in another position would have been dropped by now, were it not for his backup being dreadful in his own right. We are about to get an injection of cash, pathetically small as it may be, and clearly a CB has to be the...

    VAR

    So apparently offside decisions will now be semi-automated, starting at the World Cup. The video from FIFA is....interesting My main question is - why would anyone want this? Who watches a goal like the one at the start of the clip and decide it needs to be stamped out at all costs?

    Preparations for Thursday

    It's been a while since our last proper relegation battle, and while some posters are clearly on top relegation cliche form already, some of you may be lacking match fitness. We all need to treat these games like cup finals, so I've prepared this bingo card for you to get up to speed. Send your...

    Pre-season cliches

    Which of the following cliches do we think we'll abandon first: "It's only pre-season" "In [manager] we trust" "He needs more match fitness before he really gets going" "[Team] were in the relegation zone at Christmas and it didn't stop them getting promoted" "The new signings...

    No lap of honour

    So what was the reason for them not coming back out, other than cowardice? Don't say it was because they didn't deserve one, they can hardly have expected to have basked in the crowd's adulation.

    Ricoh Arena - parliamentary debate

    Looks like a debate on the stadium situation's been called in parliament for Tuesday - only half an hour, so doubt they'll cover much ground though! http://www.parliament.uk/mps-lords-and-offices/offices/commons/speakers-office/wadjourns1/
