A good, spirited, attacking game and we'll play well and score. They'll be more clinical infront of goal though. 2-1 City.

Sad I had to miss this game. Watching MOTD though, looked like Boufal was much more physical again. Hustling, dispossessing, looking strong. Looks like he's improving all the time.

The worst performance in recent times was the last game of last season, 0-1 to a late Crouch header under Puel. We haven't improved since then but probably haven't regressed much either. We seem to be in a rut DESPITE decent managers. If we need another manager it has to be sort capable of turning things around, but not Fat Sam.

The science in this article mainly deals with what most people call "intersex". This is a known condition which has a physical manifestation. I don't think that's what people are talking about here though. There are also those for who there is no identifiable, scientific 'reason' for why they might want to be the opposite gender, but want to be nonetheless. This is most transgender people as far as I am aware. I think most people would agree that they should be allowed to dress, behave and "be" whoever they want and called by whatever pronouns they choose. Nobody should be attacked or bullied for their choices. Whether the nhs should pay for surgery in these cases and whether this should be encouraged as 'normal' in schools is debatable though in my opinion as the science is well behind... You make it sound like science is clear about this. It isn't. The surface has only been scratched and has come up with very little. It has not been proven that a certain % of males are born with a female brain - that is unproven speculation. Show me the science which proves this. Your article does not. If someone chooses to be another gender, in so far as we know, it's usually just that - a choice, with no scientific explanation for it.

Both teams frankly undermanaged. Long shot (not literally of course) but I have a feeling MP feeling the pressure might kick the players up the arse for this one. 2-1 Saints.

If they make a third option for those who won't decide, then I'm joining them. The queues are bound to be shorter.

No, honestly I'm fine with it. Want to choose a different gender from the one you were born with? Go ahead as far as I'm concerned. No gender at all though? Now that's stretching it a bit.

What loos would they use?

I couldn't care less if a man wants to be seen as a woman or vice versa, but surely you should choose one gender or the other. Choosing not to have a gender at all sounds like a silly fad that would be best ignored.

Vote for Yoshida over VVD. Sad that the least loyal player has taken the place of the most loyal. Such a good defender and has been at his best lately, since getting a solid run of games, committed, strong, sensible.

Adkins was never given a chance at this level. I enjoyed his pressing, energetic style of football and I think Poch gets a lot of credit for what he inherited from Adkins. Also to get back to back promotions you must be able to motivate and organise a team, something we could do with now. If I could swap our current manager for Adkins I'd give it a go.

McQueen too.

And they didn't believe in Puel also. The primadonnas are running the club. We need someone with a strong enough personality to kick some arse and get in charge.

I think part of the problem with Puel is that the players weren't right behind him from the outset, VVD most publicly. Ok, it's part of the managers job to put that right but I think he was let down by a few players. We are worse now as a result.

We looked this bad towards the end of Puel's era too though.

Ha ha, might get our players a bit more creative going forward. Worth a go.

Liverpool less creative with Coutino and Mane off the pitch, but it was too late by then. We were outclassed all over the pitch. It was like this towards the end of Puel's management, we still don't know how to attack effectively and are now weak in midfield.

Something different second half please. It's either gamble or lose.

Just had a look back at the threads following Puel's appointment. All optimistic about solving the lack of goal threat under Koeman, lacking creativity from midfield, needing new strikers and a no 10. It's all familiar stuff. Koeman, Puel and now Pellegrino fail to solve the same problem.

I'm sure the goal drought, sideways passing and lack of confidence started with him in charge. Ok no manager afterwards has managed to put it right but I don't think he's the magic fix.

Pretty sure the "struggling with goals" problem started towards the end of the Koeman era. I'm not sure things will improve on that front with him in charge.

Only if he brings Martina with him.

I'd be happy with no music or commentary except for safety announcements. I do like the line-up information but can get that from the screen. Prefer to listen to the supporters, either side.

Another good save at the weekend, not to mention a clean sheet.

Don't think dropping Gabbi is any sort of answer. If he's not getting involved in games address that issue...I don't think any of our strikers are having a field day regards 'getting involved'. He needs to start and the team needs to work on a more attacking strategy.
