You are like the John Motson for Donald Trump bi-hourly updates on all things orange man

He’ll revert to a back 5 as he will shit a brick.

I see Tonda mentioned we could play a back 4 as we replaced the height at the back with height up top 🙃😂

I’m surprised we won, xG stats and the fact formations do not make a different, and all that

Lets see if Tonda has anything about him when Wilder changes it up

Are the commentators actually watching the game, and if so, in Southampton. Christ alive

Their 3 at the back masterclass in full view. Remember, it not about formations...

Looking up now, Sheff U have the ball in their half, we immediately have more players in advanced positions... But, nothing to do with formations.....

Never in doubt

NATO countries outside of the US pretty much rely on the US for the hardware, technology, Satellite access and more so, Command and Control and everything else. We used to be the 2nd biggest partner in NATO. We may still be but we have, by choice, pathetically weakened our forces over decades to a point where we can barely field a Division, send more than the odd ship to sea (outside of years long planning set-piece deployments), and have almost no strike and heavy lift air capability. and have absolutely no sustainability across any of it. It as stated we would last about a week in a high kinetic war....and we are one of the leading NATO nations beyond the US.

I believe Western Europe has taken the US for granted on this point

The USA are NATO, everyone else are just the supporting act at best, which is through decades of government choices.

Anyone else looking forward to another 3 at the back masterclass?

I know what you mean

So what?

The UK gained the islands from France over 200 years ago. the BIOT administration was formed in 1965

Because UK, and Western Europe, are oh so pious and virtuous on the world stage.

Do the people of the Chagos not get a say?

The question he sees it, is Europe willing to throw NATO under the bus. it is clear that Trump sees this as cashing some chips in for the cost of decades defending Europe, and following through with what other presidents wanted. we have allowed this to happen, de industrialised, made Russia the bogeyman (again) and turned our backs on their cheap fuel, all whilst closing down the means of cheap energy we all had. At the same time, allowing Europe to decline into some 3rd world shit hole in many places. Still, we are all ever so politically correct though

Europe will bend the collective knee and reach an agreement about Greenland

Great result regardless, yes?

I am not having it. Players like Fellows and Scienza are cooking playing Right Wing Back and Inside Left... no other way

Crystal Palace have his name written all over it, assuming they don't completely implode and get relegated

The Martin Sanders post match thingy. One of those interviewed made a decent point (regarding the direction Sports Republic have taken us). Until Nathan Jones, our managers' had top 5 European league experience. Some worked, some didn't but they at least (even with Pellegrino) had something on their CVs working at a top league.

He has played for 2 teams this season...you can't for 3, right?
