Yeah. Big club bias.

"Redmond's had a good game for them". Possibly the worst commentator statement of the season.

Yep. Been excellent.

He's having a mare but has no confidence at all by the looks of it. Take him off and he'll lose a bit more. Tough call for Ralph.

Getting bossed in midfield. Makes sense.

Diallo for me. Push JWP further up.

He looks like he's coasting as he has the swagger of a player who thinks he's better than he is. His end product is shit because he's shit.

It's not that bad. We can only use 3. Stephens gives decent defence cover, Diallo midfield, and Long out wide or up front. The kids all get match day experience.

I don't think it's injury or covid either. LeG said something like "it's not a good time to be Salisu right now". The press embargo is curious, as is the secrecy when he signed. It's all very odd but it's hard to think of anything other than legal reasons for the press to know what's going on but be under an embargo.

You pair of saps!

The shift is very deliberate. The current Tories are essentially"New Conservatives". New Labour were successful as they pulled in wavering Tories, liberals, and retained their core support. The Tories are doing the reverse, and took their lead from the demise of the liberal democrats and shifted left to steal their votes, as well as many new Labour voters who didn't like the Corbyn left wing approach The likes of duckie will whine about Pinko's etc but his vote has nowhere to go, and to appeal to the voters that put them back in, they can't move too far right.

It really is a stupid point. You could go on - ban driving to avoid driving related deaths, etc. That's not contagious either. The government choice is either lockdown, crack on, or a fudged middle ground. Like most countries ,they're going for the latter and whatever they do will be open to scrutiny or criticism. For the record, I don't want lockdown and/or encourage smoking. Your bizarre diversion doesn't make your shit point any better.

Unless smoking deaths have become contagious, that's a very daft point.

Bit dramatic, ACL injuries are rarely career threatening. McQueen's is the exception to the norm.

So you conclude that he didn't break the rules because he didn't get a penalty for breaking the rules, which just about anyone with a brain can see that he did. Ridiculous.

That’s pretty much it. Your point re Lewis lack of loans hampering his career is spot on, and applies to many of our younger players. We’ve had a lot of talented youngsters who’ve not developed because of a lack of football. Lewis is a very good keeper, and I never saw what Gunn gave us that Lewis couldn’t as for me Lewis has no less potential. Hopefully Lewis will get first team football this year as sitting here as 4th choice will do him no favours.

He's a shocker. You'd like to be able to look at the u21's for an alternative bit Boothroyd is even worse. How either of them got the top 2 jobs is anyone's guess. We're going nowhere with those 2 in charge of the 1st team and under 21's.

Agreed. Leaving Grealish on the bench and putting Calvert Lewin down the left made so sense whatsoever. Grealish should have gone there. Alternatively, rather than Henderson in the middle, Mount could have moved back and Grealish taken his place further forward. Southgate just seems to want to accommodate his favourites rather than playing the best players in their best positions. Appalling manager.

No it won't. To add to that, no team getting promoted will have any prospect of being competitive because the parachute payments will end meaning they will struggle to sign players.

Who can blame them. Money for nothing, and they aren’t impacted by the big 6 getting stronger. For them, fantastic. For us, shit.

Our left side is shocking. So predictable - we're never going to get anywhere with right footed balls swung in from 20+ yards out. Grealish should be out there.

You make a good point, although I am intrigued to know what he believes the virus is. The sandwich shop lady told me the other day that "they" are making it all up to make us a cashless world. She had no idea who they are though, or why they would decimate the world economy for a bit more tax revenue from the likes of her, barbers, builders and taxi drivers.
