For a "comedian", I'm finding Zelenskyy's latest material somewhat moribund.

Geordies will be crying off matches again, no doubt.

By the way, Gary Kasparov is an interesting person to follow on Twitter. He's been writing about Putin for years and pretty much predicted all this.

Seems to me that Putin underestimated the lack of enthusiasm for this within the Russian forces themselves. The young men on the ground don't want to kill Ukrainians and are really in quite a predicament.

If Henry VIII was alive now, what car would he drive?

Who invented the skip?

Very much in with a shot here. Unfortunately the 15 mins with the back 3 worked out badly as we missed Romeu too much in midfield. I can see why Ralph changed as we were getting overrun out wide but it was a mistake, in hindsight. When we get on the ball we’re good. Just need to watch against over committing as counter attack is the only way they look likely to hurt us.

Brilliant stuff. One of our best performances under Ralph.

Why should they? Walcott and Long would not get in many Championship teams and Armstrong has a lot to prove before you can say he’s better than a Champ player. Small and Stephens are all over the place defensively. Valery is not arguably better than a mid table Champ player, although he’s been decent today, and the keeper is a 50 year old who hardly ever plays a match in his career.

Shockingly complacent team selection. Stupid from Ralph. If you pick a front 3 of Walcott, Long and Armstrong you are virtually guaranteeing a load of dross. Armstrong, Perraud, Adams and Salisu on for Walcott, Long, Stephens and Small. If Walcott comes out second half then Ralph out!

Yeah, unbelievable that a team which has been utter shite for 70 years, bar about 5 years when it operated as a money laundry, is utter shite now.

Who is cooking all the breakfasts?

Absolutely never a penalty. Terrible, terrible officiating. Shows they know the laws but don't understand what they're seeing. Utterly terrible.

Indeed.

The Quizlamic State?

Funnily enough, I've just left a Taoist shrine.

Still doing it if I try to type much. I'm worried it's effectively made this forum unusable for me and you will all struggle without my insights.

Maybe we can spend more than what we make now?

I've updated my Android OS and now my posts seem to automatically get lots of extra lines added to them.

Maybe we can do a similar deal as Tino where they have a buy-back clause. Benefits everyone. They get money now. Broja gets certainty over his future for the next couple of years. If he progresses well they get him back without having to compete with other clubs for him. We get a player that we wouldn't keep for long anyway, regardless of any buy-back, if he continues to do well.

Great pass from Rom for the goal but also very nice clean, crisp first-time pass into him by Salisu. Let's hope that, with the new regime, we can keep players like Salisu, as well as Broja.

It's been painfully obvious that 4222 leaves us exposed in midfield. A midfield 3 is definitely the way forward, whether that's with a back 3 or 4. The 352 suits us quite well because our wide-backs are generally very good but our wide forwards are generally not very good. If we can add an upgrade to our centre backs and GK and keep hold of Broja we could become a really dangerous team.

Is it better for Labour if he stays? He's a complete joke and an embarrassment to the country and so evidently unfit for the job that you wonder if they need to be a bit careful here about pushing for him to go well in advance of the next election.

I can explain: Tedeer wanted to post something about blacks doing crime and about BLM being bad and any problems faced by blacks being the result of all the blacks. However, he was worried that he might be a bit of a racist. He hoped that by hinting at this, someone would post something that would give some validation to that point and he could then post it and would have something to fall back on when people pointed out that he might be a bit of a racist. No one did, so he's scared to post it in case his fear that he's a bit of a racist is actually true.
