Sakamoto could do with the overlap though as he’d spend most of the game trying to cut inside. I actually like the idea of Rudoni starting from LCM and providing an overlap on the left, but it is very contingent on a high press when we lose possession.

But quite often you’ll have players that are in no way medically trained basically self-certifying that they are fit. That’s no good to anyone. I seem to recall after O’Hare did his ACL he tried running it off. Don’t get me wrong, there’s a loophole that needs closing but it ain’t easy. One...

The alternative I saw suggested, and this is going back a good while, is to have almost a parliamentary hotel. 650 rooms so each has their own room with necessary facilities. Cover expenses between main residence and parliament but that’s about it.

“It’s middle class women” I smell a right-wing grift coming on.

Bring in an experienced CB, make them captain immediately.

I can’t stress how much I enjoy Man City being shite. Pep does have to carry the can in the lack of squad development - 9 of their squad are aged 30+ and that just isn’t sustainable, especially when you’d say a decent portion of them are key players. Grealish has been ruined, I’m hoping Doku and...

In the lead for 96 minutes in home games since then, with Blackburn making up 79 of them. That’s fucking abysmal.

Sorry Pete, not having that for a second. It’s on the ground and from the side, barely touches the player. Certainly not made the challenge in an aggressive manner. Absolutely no chance he’s endangering safety.

You’d have to go some to see a worse decision than this foul given by Anthony Taylor yesterday.

The style we saw today leads me to think Binks playing at LB is a distinct possibility, with him tucking in and becoming a double pivot with Sheaf when we’re on the attack. Rudoni providing the overlap option makes sense to me, similar to Van Ewijk on the right, but it’s contingent on EMC and...

Thought for the first 20-25 today we looked really positive. Faded badly, and as said elsewhere I put that down to fitness. That’s going to be a slow process, but I’m not concerned that there won’t be 3 worse teams than us.

As daft as it may sound, the fact we’ve lost pretty much every player who had their own song has taken a torpedo to the atmosphere. Generic fucking awful chants like “since I was young” kill it.

The biggest fib Doug told at the press conference was that were fitter than we’ve ever been. We re miles off it. Eccles was hiding after 20 minutes because he was fucked. Not a quick fix unfortunately.

Robinson also had the ball and actively didn’t put it out. At that point, as far as I’m concerned, they’re fair game. Play on.

When I get to your age, given the birth rate, there won’t be a younger generation!

Also the fallacy of the segment of society banging on about reducing foreign aid budgets; the idea of such things is to encourage the indigenous population of beneficiary countries to stay where they are. Appreciate on a practical level there can be misappropriation of funds but not sure it can...

See this is why I don’t put you (or, indeed, anyone) on ignore. Agree with pretty much all of that. Re the ‘small boats’ - the fact that has become front and centre of the anti-immigration argument has consistently been a nonsense. If we reduced that to zero then it’s not like it cures all our...

1 win in 11. 7th. Edit: and Sunderland. No win in 6. 4th.

Fake news, he was playing for Chelsea 2 years ago.

Genuinely the greatest bloke. Basically a 2nd dad to me, been tricky navigating this last week. Will miss him dearly.
