Yep. I'd settle for a niggly, tough-tackling, midfield destroyer type. Doesn't need to be silky, just break it up and pass it ten yards to someone in blue. The Doyle/McGrath type of player. There's no shortage of class in this team, but we seem a bit short of bite and spite.

This might just be the stroke of tactical genius we've been waiting for. 😁

Yep, as above really, didn't quite click with EMC. I think the bigger problems were elsewhere. Just mho, obviously.

Personally, I thought Bidwell did ok today. He does at least look to cross when he gets in decent positions, and he gets properly stuck in. The goal was a defensive car crash; no cover from midfield and gaps all over the place. No one covered themselves in glory there, so to pin it on Bidwell...

I think he really was injecting bleach, you know.

Lisa, I'd like to buy your rock.

Slightly deflating, that. No support for Simms, no hint of a press, no control in midfield. Plenty for Robins to work on here.

I went out for a quiet pint last night and ended up sat at a table with two Leicester fans, LastGarrison and Nick. 😁

Then why are we talking about Muslim extremism at exactly the same time as there are attacks on mosques going on?

Indeed, let's look at the statistics. Almost 110,000 racially motivated hate crimes, 2021-2022. 110,000. How many of those do you think were inflicted by right-wing thickos conflating Muslim extremists with Muslims or brown people in general? It would be much, and I mean *much* fucking better...

Divert forces, damage supply lines, lower civilian morale, I'd guess. Surely Putin should sue for peace immediately on whatever terms the Ukrainians offer, rather than risk the loss of more lives?

Handy guide: Protest: Gather. Wave flags or placards. Sing or shout. Face masks not generally required. Doesn't involve burning down hotels, attacking police, threatening places of worship, looting Greggs.

Although, of course, most groups who pay taxes aren't violently invited to fuck off back to where they came from. (Always a bit awkward when it turns out they were born in the same town as you, of course.)

You've severely overestimated the intelligence of these people, I'm afraid. 😁

Give me control of the BBC and I can shut this down in ten minutes. All they need to do is put out an immediate yellow alert for rain covering England and Northern Ireland, and all the fuckwit losers with a burning urge to protect our kids by looting JD Sports will crawl back under the duvet.

I knew there was a reason I needed to keep my account going. 😄

I am worried this may not work as easily as is suggested. 😁 Given the cost of getting keys cut though, I've now put my address on all of the key rings, so that if they're lost someone can just pop them back through the letterbox. Genius, eh.

Talking of Timpson's... It cost me over forty quid to get a few front door keys and a few garage keys cut the other day. It's just a more polite form of robbery, perhaps. 😄

Hopkins and Fox. Walking, talking, cloacae. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloaca

It would be interesting to hear, though politically I suspect he might be kept quiet for a bit because Starmer is going to want to look tough on this. Don't get me wrong, I'm generally with Timpson - we're locking too many people up, and giving them very little chance of rehabilitation. But...
