There was an athletic article on how spurs ended up with nuno as their manager at the start of last season. Apparently Ralph was one of the people being considered for the job but they felt he might destabilise a settled dressing room. Article didn’t go any deeper than that but does seem to suggest that Ralph has a style which doesn’t always please everyone. Personally I don’t think it matters too much, as long as he has the respect of the players then that is generally all that matters

He's total shite. Steer well clear but if you do sign him your best bet is to loan him out for a pittance. Hope that helps.

I drink Carling, Fosters and all the other mass marketed lager. Personally I don't really like ale, bitter etc but I don't mind if other people do. What I find annoying is when someone comes up with an opinion on a subjective subject, say, for example, beer and casts judgement on anyone that doesn't share that opinion. Makes them sound like cocks.

Nah, think he started 20 out of the thirty, was subbed off in 16 of them and came on as a sub for the other 10 appearances. As I said, could be a good player but hasn't got a record that's fantastic even taking into account his age and didn't appear to be anything special in the YouTube clips - quick enough but not blindingly quick, bit of skill but not so much that really stands out. Did look decent enough at playing with his back to goal and turning to beat anyone marking him closely though.

Not really seen enough of Adamu outside the usual YouTube clips, plus the speculation seems to include a lot of wishful thinking, but he doesn't look that great. Got 7 in 30 games last season (including pens) but RB Salzburg won the league at a canter with a goal difference of +58 so I would have expected more from an out and out striker in a team that pissed all over the rest of the league. Granted he's only 21 but Mane had a much better record at a similar age (16 in 26 in his first season and he was playing out wide). As I say, really don't know that much about him but, on the face of it, would be quite a gamble to think he would be relatively prolific (at least initially) for us.

Dunno if anyone has mentioned it but just realised that Svanberg would have played with Lyanco a couple of years ago when Lyanco was on loan at Bologna.

Yeah, sorry, but I'm struggling to follow your argument here. You're saying no one ever has voted against their own interests? If I vote for a party that says it's going to raise my taxes then I'm doing it for some longer term benefit, is that it? Well, it's your opinion but I don't think I could presume to know the true intention of anyone who has ever lived (and voted).

Romeo looks like decent cover for Romeu.

A lot of your questions seem to involve things along the lines of how can you improve something without having to pay for it. If you don't mind me saying, that's a typical Tory position. Anyway, you now have the biggest tax burden this country has seen since the 70's and you're still seeing things get worse. I'd say we've got to the position that frankly any party would probably be an improvement over the current lot but I suspect that ideologically you simply don't want to vote Labour even if the Tories under Johnson are a complete disaster.

Having to put subtitles on virtually every drama and film. I’m not going deaf, it’s actors mumbling their lines in the pursuit of authenticity. Fucking annoying.

Presumably you'd be in favour of him going because he created rules that were ridiculous and should never have been implemented then?

Don’t forget the maverick alcoholic divorced detective who gets the job done but doesn’t play by the rules consequently upsetting the hierarchy above him.

I don't think that's true unless you mean Solent? I've no idea what their numbers are but UoS numbers are up as far as I'm aware.

I reckon we'll be back in for either Tete or Anjorin the Chelsea lad who went on loan to Huddersfield (or both). Tete is only at Lyon till the end of the season so probably nothing or fairly cheap (imagine there wouldn't be a fee?). No idea how either are getting on although Anjorin seems to have been injured most of the time.

Of course it is although I find it ironic that you're expressing support of free speech for an MP who is using that right to call for the church of england to be denied that very same right.

It'll be interesting to see how he spins this. Up till now the only thing he's apologised for is giving the perception that he didn't follow the law, not that he actually did break it. I imagine he'll apologise with a smirk on his face and say he's far too busy raising the cost of living to consider resigning.

Sounds like a job for the A-Team

Not the best examples of either kits but probably Ajax current one. As someone else pointed out, kits that are more white than red seem to look better to me.

Don't really know much about Tete but if he's more like a traditional winger then I'd expect him to show some good early promise before Ralph gets him to concentrate on working against the ball and an emphasis on tracking back. Obviously hope he's great but I'm not sure that wingers are particularly suited to the 4222 formation - if you look at Redmond, Djenepo and Walcott none of them impress quite as much as they would do in a traditional winger role (and, yes, I'm aware that all of those have issues besides being traditional wingers). Just think that players like Stuart Armstrong and Elynoussi who are more like converted midfielders seem to perform a bit better in that role. Anyway, good thing about this (if true) is that presumably it'll give him a bit of time to settle into the area and club ahead of pre-season even if he can't play for us. I guess we can also pick up the £400 a month for Ukrainian refugee money that's on offer which is nice.

I really don't think what Biden said makes any difference at all. We're supplying military aid to Ukraine, we're giving them intelligence and we're bankrolling them. Those things in themselves are enough for him to justify whatever he wants to, if he chooses to. Putin is a cunt who doesn't even need a reason to invade - he just makes shit up so the idea that he'll get his knickers in a twist over some off the cuff remarks is a bit far fetched. Only people bothered are news wonks and diplomats.

Prefer that to the Denmark style one.

Yeah, figured it was that and does show up a weakness in the UN governance.

I’m sure someone can tell me but why isn’t a UN peacekeeping force being considered? That could at least help with humanitarian corridors and might make Russian military think twice about some of the shit they’re doing. It’s a decent way of helping without directly engaging against Russian troops.

That's going to hurt him, I imagine he'll rethink his whole stance on Ukraine now...........

Why not? it's not a particularly tricky word to pronounce even for a slough born Albanian.
