He was this season. Obviously hope he can work with the coaches pre-season and improve, or we'll be risking putting ourselves into catch-up mode again. same with the entire defence and keeper. Needs to be dramatic improvement as I doubt it's their plan to spend the summer looking to replace them.

If that's the case makes it even weirder how he's been picked all the time while others are rotated, even to the point where he's having a mare and instead someone else is subbed off and Lati moved to a different position.

yeah, I accept that. Hence why it'd have to be, as you say, clamping down on people acting like twats. And maybe part of that clampdown should involve thorough searches and drug tests so charges/banning orders can be brought against them. Anyone caught in possession or found to have drug in...

I'm sure they can. Problem is that there's other people playing against them. You ask a marathon runner to run a marathon the day after they've run one and they'll be able to do it, but I bet they'll do it slower. And if they're against someone of a similar level who hadn't run the day before...

Just cos it's hard to police doesn't mean we shouldn't. Cokeheads acting like twats is a big negative experience. It's not like half of them don't show obvious signs of being sniffed up. Can't the police act on suspicions of being under the influence of drugs? If they have these suspicions...

And this is why I think we need a bigger squad. Part of the problem is that players get physically and emotionally fatigued and they need more time to recover than the schedule gives them. Even Peter Schmeichel once got sent of on holiday for a few weeks by Fergie because his performances...

Was closer than I expected given how tired so many of our first teamers must be but really annoying we've gifted them three goals.

Expected a lot of changes after the physical and mental exertion of Sunday. Plan again is to try and keep it tight until the hour or so then bring the main players on. Was going to be a big ask even if we'd stuck with the best XI and I suspect this will be a bit after the Lord Mayor's Show and...

No chance mate. You're not gonna stay up. ;)

It looks like Dasilva is on a day out with his dad.

The Lying, The Pitch and The VAR-Probe

Funny that, considering the amount of stuff accumulated by older generations of my family over the years, including things like huge vinyl record collections from their youth. Or perhaps it's also that general everyday costs nowadays take up a much more significant percentage of their pay while...

Two in 544 left at 3-0 to go to the pub. Though I got the impression that was going to be the highlight of their day regardless of the result.

Never understood that mentality. You may not get to the fifth pen if you're relying on your lesser penalty takers taking the ones before it.

In the stadium at the time it didn't bother me that much, mainly because I (naively) assumed that the decision was made pretty quickly so it must have been relatively obvious. After the game to see how close it was, and then the frame they've used and where they've put the line for AWB I've just...

I liked the change to ABBA but seems they decided it was 'too complicated'. If that's too complicated for someone I'd suggest they shouldn't be allowed out in public without a carer.

Fucking annoying that it took ages for the ref to book him, at which point he walked off and had a drink from a bottle! Then gets booked again in the shot-out and still carries on shithousing. No only that but he won't even miss the final for the two yellows! Some of the rules are just fucking...

Could you not have asked to go back in for extra time?

Saw him in Birmingham last week and while it's not quite as funny as before it was still a decent night out. Not giving too much away but he will resurrect a few favourites in one way or another. He's also lost quite a bit of weight where at the start you're actually wondering if its him.

Never gone through emotions like it in a game. Disappointed at how we set up at the start, dejected when that led to being 3-0 down, hope as we came back into it, nerves waiting for the injury time pen, joy when it went in, absolute elation at scoring the 4th followed by utter dejection when...
