“If any club in England from the bottom of the table needs a coach in two years, I'm ready to go." That's literally us. We just need to stay on the bottom for the next two years without getting relegated.

You'd have thought we'd be good at playing it out from the back by now.

Replaced, no question. Right now, the weakness is the tactics more than the players.

I decided against naming my dog Help for the same reason.

I used to work with a girl called Carina. Nice girl. Sturdy and reliable.

However the BBC wants to frame that article, it's still guilty of spreading unfounded conspiracy theories.

Just looking at re-nationalising railways, which I always thought was a good idea. Using SNCF as a model, as I hear it's generally well thought of. The average cost per year to the French taxpayer is 15 billion euros. Divide that by 68 million people (obviously they are not all taxpayers) and that's 220 euros per person. That's a lot of money if you don't use the trains very often. Didn't realise it could be that expensive.

Clothes and shoe sizes. A medium t'shirt might fit, be too big or too small. A size 8 shoe might be too big or too small. I have a closet where I have shoe sizes that fit from sizes 7 to 10. If manufacturers are incapable of accurately standardising clothes and shoe sizes, which they are, then your clothes and shoe shops should size items by centimetre. This way you wouldn't have to bother trying it on, know it would fit and would be more confident buying off the internet. And no, I'm not putting on weight. Well I am actually but that's not the point.

Rule 1

Thought he looked quality when he came on again, really tied things together up front. Was instrumental in our first PL goal after being on for just 10 minutes or so. Any chance he could do more for us than play as a late sub? If he could do 45, wouldn't we be better off starting him, then perhaps make changes at 65 if he needs it?

I'm not sure he suits being so wide. Commentator yesterday was saying that at previous clubs he'd had a more central role?

Brentford played out from the back a lot better than we did, played it wide and didn't tap it about so much in front of goal suicidally like we did. Our manager must learn from this. If we're going to continue to pursue this strategy we must improve it. Lallana was great in the last third. Could he play 45 minutes?

Presuming Ramsdlae starts it will be interesting to see how he performs. Having just arrived he won't be used to the style of play yet, I wouldn't be surprised to see him clearing balls that he deems too risky to pass to nearby defenders. Might be a refreshing change today.

Listened to Rest is Politics today for the first time and liked it. Philosophy Bites is good. Sounds a bit heavy but there are lots of discussions which are not about philosophy at all. All sorts of subjects. https://nigelwarburton.typepad.com/philosophy_bites//2017/04/400-bites-podcast-interviews-arranged-by-theme--1.html

If at work tomorrow my boss handed me a badge with "We stand against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia" and said we're all wearing this today I'd think it was pretty odd. I don't like being told what I should believe in even if I happen to agree with it. Isn't it strange that an employer would want to do that? They are de-facto forcing him to wear the laces if refusal means that he is left out of the team. If he is Muslim and views homosexuality as sinful I don't see why he can't be allowed to wear normal laces and get on with the game.

This. Sold him for pretty much what we paid it would seem.

WHAT A MISS!! The BBC shout as Brereton Diaz on target shot gets deflected.

Some positives. Not the pummelling I was expecting and Newcastle did not dominate even when they had 11 on the pitch. Shame we couldn't convert more of the chances - had about 4 on target between 45 and 55 minutes? Zero shots on target in the first half from what I saw. We were better before the subs.

Works perfectly for me but Arabian commentary... https://livehd.lat/100/ehd-37.php

Expecting us to get smashed 4 - 0 putting doubt in the system we play, at least against the top half teams in the league, and hoping RM has an effective plan B or at least some serious tweaks. Hoping this post looks foolish at 5pm.

Shut the fuck up Donny!
