  1. Rangers job makes sense for such a purist if he's been promised patience. Can go all in on high possession football with no risk of relegation and lots of easier teams to practice against.
  2. Do we? We have quite a bit of experience but a lack of ability / potential. Anyway, this tweet translated from German is clear he's a "back 3" centre back
  3. A certain Kayne Ramsey is smashing it for them at right back, don't think Bree would start.
  4. Promotion and relegation is a hugely valuable part of the game in this country at least. The part I would take from US sport is salary caps - just put limitations on teams to bring down the overall cost of football and evens up the playing field. Would need to be europe wide to work though and probably wouldn't be in the interests of the commercial types.
  5. I know the attack and defence are poor, but that midfield 3 is just inexcusable for the premier league, none of those 3 players can even pretend to be this level.
  6. Personally I think a free trade deal with the US would be hugely beneficial to the UK. We're a lower wage, cheaper country so would benefit in that sense and the noise about chlorinated chicken I think is a bit of red herring as that's not something the British public will actually buy into imo. If KS manages to wipe off the majority of tariffs, surely he'll gain a few points 😂
  7. Have they had one? I know it was spoken about but I didn't think it actually happened? All the big players are still there as far as I can tell.
  8. Starmer must be fuming with that MP for punching that guy. Labour's approach has been to hammer out unpopular but "necessary" policy in the first year before slowly introducing more positive and popular policies for the next few years. Last think they wanted was a bi-election in year one and now and "popular" policies are going to look reactionary. Think we might see a re-shuffle soon.
  9. If we were to revert to a back 4 would Edwards and Wood as a starting pair (with the hope they step up and start to show premier league potential) be too risky?
  10. Him and Edwards both smashing the champ and should be our core for the rebuild.
  11. Edozie hardly tearing it up in Belgium, I think that one is straying in to the territory of disaster - was it £10m for him and Larios?
  12. I know they've all been a bit shit this year. But a front three of BBD, CA and AA should be ridiculous in the championship if they can re-find their not so distant form.
  13. Expect the upfront fee will be "disappointing" with some chunky add-ons if he makes the England squad / a sell on %.
  14. Wonder how many people will renew this season but decide not to if we get promoted back. Personally can see the appeal of the championship but you're a more loyal man than me to pay £500 to watch us get battered every week.
  15. His speech was great and adolescence was great, both highlighting that we have a significant issue around toxicity and social disconnection amongst young men and boys (and women and girls, but it's more a male thing). Seems like a lot of people didn't like adolescence because the social media accounts they follow have told them the kid was the wrong colour (even though the overwhelming trend towards this sort of violence is age and gender which were both cast accurately). But anyway, we live in a society where socially things have changed dramatically over the last 40 years and for a wide number of factors, it's now significantly more difficult for young men to have a reasonable level of self esteem. Low self esteem is driving endorphin chasing (internet, social media that plays into your anger etc.) and unwillingness to take changes to improve things (disconnection from society, not going for jobs etc.). These combined are creating a large number (millions) of disenfranchised and angry young men - not all, or many, will go on to commit violence, but statistically it's going to lead to a significant rise as we've seen. But it's just about violence, the number of young people, especially male, who just have shit lives is frightening. Gareth made a lot of good points and good role models are important. But imo, I this is an area where there has to be widespread intervention. People have mentioned "fathers", but that wont help with young men who live in a world their fathers wont have any empathy for - might even make it worse. The real steps imo are things like banning social media for u16s, investing in youth programs to engage young people in communities, engaging with young people beyond 18 to support them in a better life, changing the way we teach children about society so it's less about success and more about being a good person (this is a key point of Gareth's). But that all takes time and money and we've turned into a country of selfish cunts over the last decade so it wont happen and we'll keep throwing sticky plasters at things.
  16. Doubt there's any actual grounds for a refund but the club would do well to offer some sort of additional discount next season for renewals to retain loyalty. Personally the ritual humiliation over the last 4 years has pretty much killed my interest, can't be the only one.
  17. Most of them are tbf
  18. Loved Shane Long - he was pivotal in getting the best out of Ings and Mane when they were here. Peak SL would be our best attacked now by a mile.
  19. This just sums up the far right in this country, essentially Farage is the only one who is actually electable (Tice and 30p Lee perhaps) but as soon as he needs to grow his party and bring in more people it just ends up introducing people who are either publicly unappealing or unable to stay on script (which is quite important if you want to be a major party). Have to say I'm surprised with how quickly it's fallen apart but I think it shows the futility of having popularity before you've actually established the party properly.
  20. Has he got his knickers in a twist? I can't see that Farage has said anything on this yet? Unless I've missed it
  21. Can't believe he's 26! At least he's starting to get some decent minutes into his career.
  22. When he was here before he was perfect as we had a ridiculous squad for outside the prem so his "simple tactics and positive vibes" style was ideal. He's a fairly limited manager which is why his record is so patchy, more down to the luck of the situation.
  23. Strachan and Hoddle are both free and have better records in the prem
  24. Boris's biggest triumph was his diplomacy and support for Ukraine. The "Boris wave" stuff has basically ended his political career so it's no surprise he's going Ukraine first.
  25. In some ways this is the strangest of them all. We've been terrible this season in a big part because we have a championship quality squad lacking in premier league quality and experience. He's one player who you'd have thought could come in and just be a competent premier league player.
