Equally, he is a talented player who has had a great tournament while his club side is bottom of Ligue Un. Really think he wasn't used properly here, but the time has passed.

Muswells is long gone, has been Dim T for well over a decade now.

Their nation and homeland still exists. That in itself is a victory. More then that, Putin's desire to destroy them as a state and a people has utterly failed as they are more united and determined then ever. I would go as far to say whatever happens here, with a stronger and more united NATO and a Ukrainian state that now considers Russia sworn enemies for generations to come, Russia has lost.

Bloody dreadful draw that. So dull and we will probably lose.

How can they disallow this one? Claim Valencia's drunk?

So, the Ecuadorian player's knee was offside at the point he received the ball, while a Qatari defender was goalside and within a couple of meters of him.

That is hilarious.

Strangely, this is the one I always think of too. An absolute thunderb*stard of a hit, with that satisfying/sickening from our perspective hit on the underside of the bar for good measure. For Saints, Lallana v Hull or Lallana v West Brom Jan 04. That last one an under-rated one I feel, not for rat-boy's finish but for the way Ramirez laid the ball off to him leaving the keeper entirely out of the picture. The Villa game is oft discussed with Gaston but that was another sign of what might have been.

Would leave this up to NJ. Has shown some good aggression and skill, but is he consistent enough?

Trying to think who might do a job, Viktor Gyokeres seems to be looking more and more impressive at Championship level. He may lack the absolute physicality Jones would be looking for mind.

I would actually.

Pleased to see us having a go here.

Would also make sense. In hindsight better then my thought to have CC at RB.

Would expect more of a push towards the Sea of Azov, cut off the land bridge to Crimea and catch anyone retreated back from Kherson.

If Jones sticks to his preferred tactics, expecting a midfield diamond with Lavia in front of the back 4 and Moi or SA at the front.

Extremely grateful for the insight. Actually quite reassuring.

Emotional reaction to this: We're f**ked. Considered reaction: I hope SR's analytics have struck gold.

Stop being so damned polite! How dare you come on here and seem a gracious human being. I don't share your optimism though.

Like Hoddle back in 2004? He admitted that fan discontent denied him a return.

When he is announced, I will give him the benefit of the doubt..... But this does not feel at all right. Can only hope the analysis done ahead of this appointment has been done accurately..... But I truly beleive we will be in the Championship next season.

Luton dominating possession, shots and set pieces. Losing 2-0. Nathan Jones will fit in fine here.
