I'm deleted member 7943, and so's my wife,

Speculating, yes, of course. I don't know if we looked at him or not, or if we did, what meant nothing came of it.

People have to take responsibility for themselves. He can't say 'Wilder got me fat'. I don't doubt his quality, just his commitment to keeping himself at his peak. For that reason, I don't want him back. I don't for a second doubt that Lampard wouldn't either. There's a man who appreciates...

You shouldn't have to get them fit, though. He has access to all the facilities and trainers required to maintain requisite levels of fitness, but doesn't. It's easier to teach someone to play football than to get someone to do something they don't want to do.

Fat Ron was entirely abject.

He might have, but how much of Sheffield United's mediocrity is down to him not being able to cover ground due to lack of fitness?* When we played them, he had all of the technique and quality, but none of the drive or verve. *I don't know the answer to this, it's just said to make a broader...

It was ok after he took over mid-season from Gould, but dire after that. The football was turgid, too, from what I remember. Signing Dublin was his great contribution; definitely need to be grateful for that.

Most of it's just attention seeking dimwits, but some of them are quite good. That Stoke lad is particularly good at it. I think there's a place for fans reporting on the game, if they are objective.

Most of the duds were fringe players. The really bad one was Bellamy. No fault of Bellamy's really, as he was extremely inexperienced, had spent the previous season injured, and to cap it off, wasn't the even the right type of player for what we needed. He was expected to be another Robbie...

Yes and no. He took us down, but we lost our best players and didn't replace them adequately; I don't know how much of that was on him. Prior to that, his teams played some brilliant football, but there's still the nagging doubt that they underachieved. The most obvious example is the team...

Haven't they tried this before, years ago (or was it just mooted)? Tbh, the issue isn't the law, which is fine, it's how VAR is utilised to enforce it, with the vastly overly pedantic enforcement currently in practice. As the OP says, this won't solve that, just put the lines in a different...

Influencing skillz.

He watched our cup run games and Wright is one of his favourite players. Completely normal reasons for finding your team. He did make a fifteen minute video to tell us that, mind.

An argument made in a surprisingly high-pitched voice.

I don't entirely disagree, but the frustration is that Ipswich get (or seem to get) a degree more of these decisions than other clubs. There was minimal contact, not enough to impede the striker, who went to ground anyway. Even if technically the wrong decision had not been made, then it's a...

It's one of the backroom staff.

I mean, I've only seen one of those penalty awards, which was the handball against us, but you do fanny around with it at the back an awful lot and have a tendency to overplay. That's a recipe to give away penalties.

I'm just going to assume this is a rhetorical question.

That suits us fine, but I really don't want Ipswich to get promoted. The favouritism they get from officials is extremely frustrating.

Honestly, it takes the fucking piss. How can one team get given so much more than all the others? It's pathetic, it really is.
