Carragher pointed out that Everton got out of shape with two players in the left back position who weren't left backs which allowed THB to play that pass in behind to Sugawara. From then on it was a combination of Ashley Young ball watching and Archer's great little run which took the defence goalwards and created the space for Arma to occupy. It was a pretty good goal actually. As far as the recycling is concerned I've heard in a number of interviews RM specifically complain that we don't find the final pass or move the ball quickly enough when we need to. So it's as much about individual player decision making as anything coached by RM and the coaching team. That decision making is influenced ability and mentality and that dictates why we seem to dick around with the ball so much as some players are simply not good enough to do it at this level.

Odds on Man U?

Graham or Harry?

As you say blinkered at best, utter twaddle at worst. I get the point he's trying to make but it comes without the balance and is just as polarising as the comments made by the 'Mr Angry's'. Plus it goes on and on, and on.

Seems like the vast majority on here want Martin and his propaganda football gone, with some justification. It'll take a real turnaround for the opinions to change on here, that too is justified.

Above all else I'm really happy that it was Arma who got the winner. Very average at this level but it was a good finish.

He probably thinks he's a new player now he's had a haircut and no longer looks like a wild Chilean from the Andes.

2 minutes to team announcement. Get ready for the reaction!

On here it will be. You can pretty much script it, which is telling in itself. From the selection announcement onwards. "Good team apart from Manning." "Manning, why?" " No Dibling wtf?" "Stephens again?" "Not sure where a goal is going to come from." Then in the match. "YESS!" (hopefully) "Hanging on now." "Fuck" ".....and there it is!" "FFS we just can't keep a clean sheet." "Martin out." "There we go." "Very predictable." "Fuck off Martin." Bye Russ. etc, etc 1-2 Everton. Maybe we could sort this out into some kind of SaintsWeb matchday bingo.

Unlike here where they turn as soon as the team is announced.

The Marseille and Anderlecht games were like nothing else I ever experienced at The Dell in terms of atmosphere.

Don’t think we’ll beat them at the weekend

We’ll find out tomorrow.

Question is this. Russell Martin or Keir Starmer who’s doing the better job?

How did you feel about him on 26th May?

Here endeth any interest I have in this, this afternoon. I look forward to the post 5pm meltdown on here.

Sam Edozie scored for Anderlecht in UEL this evening.

Followed the first half. At 2-0. Stopped following as pretty much knew what would come. Quelle surprise come 5pm.

You are perfectly entitled to think that way, but I would be inclined to wait until there was some kind of evidence of any BS and so called two tier policing before coming to a judgement. As yet the case is proceeding, presumably guided by the law as it stands. Just because a bunch of people want things to happen more quickly doesn't mean that the investigative and legal processes should be short circuited to satisfy their demands. There is no equivalence here. Two separate cases entirely, one way more complicated that the other.

This is the latest update from GMP from last week. Looking at the timings it would appear that most who were interviewed and charged following the riots pled guilty before the comprehensive evidence file for the Manchester Airport incident was sent to the CPS. So court appearances were ongoing before the file was sent. However cut and dry the airport incident looked it obviously merited much more detailed investigation. Obviously not as simple as guy whacks two female police officers, police officer stamps on his head so a bit more to unravel legally I would assume. Farage is just trying to make political capital out of it. Yet another example of false equivalence. “Following an investigation led by the GMP Major Incident Team, a comprehensive file of evidence was sent to the CPS in Mid-August, and we await a charging decision. “We have avoided providing ongoing commentary on the case, including releasing footage, to ensure that justice can be served without the risk of prejudicing proceedings. We continue to support the officers involved and are committed to getting them justice.”

This cnut is still shit stirring.

She's a real wrong un if those comments are accurate. Keeping working "on the sly" in a role which is regulated by the DBS and "I'll play the mental health card;" after she's been bailed says it all. Doesn't actually show a lot of remorse. Sad they lost a child but doesn't give her carte blanche to say what she liked on social media. Whatever you believe you have to think there's a filter there somewhere which says, 'maybe I shouldn't post this?' Loads of false equivalence going on by usual suspects, comparing this with Huw Edwards and the Manchester Airport assaults.

Weston has done a great job, I follow him on Strava. Impressive stuff you’re doing as well and pleased you are seeing progression. Hoping by the time next July comes around I’ll be hauling south of 75kg up Alpe d’Huez rather than around 80 but it’s not easy. I think people have a tendency to over estimate what they burn in relation to what they perceive they put in. Take yesterday, Strava estimates my 32k virtual ride burnt 424 calories. That’s a donut and a half or a couple of pints of lager. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference. I do a very very modest weight and core circuit each morning concentrating on form over volume. Don’t do much leg work apart from stretches as I can’t lunge or squat due to a dodgy left knee, but as cyclists generally have the upper body strength of a fish working the core and upper body is beginning to pay dividends on the bike. I PBd the ride yesterday by 4 minutes (that’s unheard of over that sort of distance without really blowing out of your arse. Hope we all keep it going. arse
