I think it’s more the fact that the end of NBA games become an exercise in clock management to the extent it becomes a totally different game - tactical fouls, tactical stoppages/time-outs, whatever it takes to bleed out extra time. It’s all very uncouth and American!

Yes, but I don’t see anything special about that. The one thing he does do well - maybe better than any player - is be extremely conspicuous about working hard. Plays to the fans more than anyone I’ve ever seen.

Wilson is a much better goalkeeper than he was when he joined. Every other keeper we've had under Williams has gone on to play at more or less the same level they were when they signed. The quality of our starting keeper has very rarely correlated with our final league position either. To me...

Games that stop when the clock reaches zero (NFL, basketball, rugby etc) often end in extremely anti-climactic fashion, because clock management becomes the most important part of the game. I much prefer the way football handles it.

Urgently seeking out everything this woman has recorded, these are two of the best TV performances I've seen in ages

Yeah my concern is that we're playing in such a way that there's enough underlying data (xG etc) to convince the coaching staff that nothing is fundamentally wrong and it's only a matter of time before our luck changes. Which I can stomach after 10 games, but not after 20.

Had to explain on two separate occasions why I was laughing at my phone thanks to this post, wonderful stuff.

Ah yes, those Corinthian days of the 90s and 2000s, when players only asked for an orange slice and a handshake. Jumpers for goalposts, ITV Digital on’t wireless.

While I’m sure it is a slight factor, I would trust/expect Lampard to make personnel decisions based on more than just his personal familiarity with certain players.

It’s silly to insinuate that our head sports scientist sits on some kind of shadowy board that works to outmanoeuvre Frank Lampard on all football decisions! I’m treating this with the precise amount of silliness it deserves!

I talked to Doug once too. You should show more respect to me as a board level employee of CCFC.

Someone should tell Doug then!

I didn’t realise you were here every day!

I would call it Doug.

Not sure why Bassette is in the “special player” category already

Roberts is at board level?

Seems like quite a long-winded (or evasive?) way of answering quite a simple question! Having breakfast, a house and dogs somewhere is not the same as living there but ok!

Another keeper?! Make it stop!

Of the nine Euros tournaments held/scheduled this century, only three of them have had only one host country.

So you don’t live here then?
