The question was which of the 2 players we'd prefer. I prefer Broja.

This Mainoo lad is a conundrum. Can look amazing at times, then goes missing, and often seems to be hiding rather than finding space. He's got something though.

They're in a badly coached and managed team, with instructions to play the way we do. They're probably almost as fucked off as the fans.

Gordon, Eze, Palmer or move Saka over onto his natural side? I'd go Gordon and Palmer, and hook Saka too.

I think he'd be superb and would get these lads playing as they can. It won't be him though.

The way he dropped off for the goal playing the lad onside was schoolboy stuff. He's not on it with the ball either.

I'm still mesmerized by Shania Twain...that goal has brought me back to reality.

Walker was a disgrace there. Absolute disgrace.

It will. I fancy us to win by a couple. Those would be normal choices. He'll probably slide Walker across to get Trent (TM) in.

I reckon we'll see one by half time. I'm taking Bellingham.

Why do they keep singing Bruce Springsteen? More entertaining than the match though.

Having Saka RW would work if Saka had a right foot. Liking the look of Mainoo thou.

I dunno, 2 yellows and the worst shot you'll ever see, so more excitement than normal. Or something.

Yep. That was sloppy. Fair play to Guehe though, doing what he had to do knowing that's him out if we get through.

No contest - Broja. Delap has proved that he can't do it in the championship. Broja has proved that he can do it in the PL. I can't fathom anyone saying that they'd take Delap out of the two. Delap cannot have done anything to persuade them that he's the man.

Always enjoyable, but they've done it loads and are neither current or legends. Glastonbury has to offer better for me.

Yep. IOW also.

Nice and succinct from Alan. He's right.

Blunter than I would be, but he doesn't look anything like a PL player to me, and has done next to nothing in his championship loans. Not a link that excites me either.

As simple as I can put it. The government made a decision. The SC said it was unlawful. The government have made another decision. The SC have yet to make any decision re that decision. Discussing this with someone who says that the SC undermining the government reeks of government intervention is about as pointless as it gets. I'm out.

Honestly mate, I'm sensing I'd be wasting my time. Frankly, it's a bit silly to accept that the SC told the government that they're acting illegally, then suggest government intervention.

It sounds like an explanation will be wasted.

Here is a summary of the SC decision. https://www.supremecourt.uk/cases/docs/uksc-2023-0093-press-summary.pdf Where in that did the SC as the government wants? Absolute bollox to suggest that the SC is the government patsy and we need intervention from above. Sure, states relatively fresh out of the eastern bloc and/or with political judges may need some guidance, but we ain't that state.

With or without reform we're having a labour government with a huge majority. Sure, a bunch of racists and little englanders will waste their vote on them, but they will not have any impact on the outcome. The constant highlighting them is almost as annoying as the party itself.
