The point Im making is there are very few teans able to put together a championship squad of up and coming players and see that squad be kept relatively the same into a prem season, it doesn’t happen for a few reasons; 1. Any decent talent is cherry picked before long, whether you remain a Champ side or bottom half Prem side any talent is gone before potential is realised 2. Despite Rasmus’ statement suggesting otherwise the gulf between Champ and Prem is too large, and so you will need to likely reinforce when you reach the PL anyway As such, the standard MO for Championship promotion is to build a cohesive squad with a bit if experience that can get you up, then add some talent to that in your first premiership year to try to survive and then assess from there

Im not really sure what the “only passes sideways and backwards” hate is anyway English football fans have an obsession of getting the ball forward at all costs, but frankly much of this season our ability in possession has been stiffled by awful attacking movement at which point we have to maintain possession, Im sure the likes of JWP/Lavia woukd love to have made more progressive passes but its not always an option JWP has created 74 chances this year anyway, I appreciate many would likely be set pieces Grimes would be a great addition to a team looking to progress in the Champ this year imo

Problem is you need almost more experience in the champ then you do in the prem, especially if we’re starting a rebuild of sorts I almist expect to build a team to get us promoted, with a smattering of youthful talent and then largely re assess if/when we make it back to the prem

If this is a representation of how the majority of ‘Joe Public’ think then we’re all absolutely fucked

The main issue with conspiracists… is they preach that they want to have discussions about things, and when they get their ‘theories’ decimated by science and reason they disappear back into their holes ignoring said reasoning

I actually thought, after looking at a few youtubes of him, that he’d have enough to be a force in the prem He unfortunately didnt get enough time under Jones, and then was, I thought at the time, under utilised by Selles Reality was he just wasn’t cut out for the prem, too slow, too lethargic and without the touch required It was likely an overpriced panic buy that was to suit a manager that was a dead man walking… to be honest he is a walking personification of our recruitment this season

As for Matt… he is a nice guy, atleast when you’re infront of him talking to him of which I have had the pleasure of conversing with But I can’t help but question the pysche and motivation of someone who would gladly attempt to mislead people online whether gullibly or intentionally

Thats annoying, they’ll have a pot to piss in now

Whoever wins gets to send him to the other team ?

But you have to understand there was a requirement to do something, and going to a tried and tested science around dealing with pandemics was pretty obvious, its not like it was an isolated case, the whole world took that approach We couldn’t lock down everytime it spiked, we couldn’t allow it to just spread due to health system strains So the obvious move was mass vaccination… not really sure what everyone’s expecting to happen in the next ‘years’ are we all going to become zombies or something?

I mean… the first vaccine was carried out in 1796, virtually eradicating smallpox and vaccines are some of the most widely studied and scrutinised medical practices in the world, with some of the highest safety requirements So I’d say yeah, probably one of the biggest scientific breakthroughs ever, especially in medical science I don’t have full clarity, I don’t have full clarity on a great many subjects and Im far from an expert on vaccines, but Im comfortable with the science… weirdly there are a great many substances that we all chuck in our bodies on a daily basis that has less safeguards around them than vaccines, but it doesn’t get the same internet clicks

The ‘it’ll be boring if we all agree’ mantra is a very tired and lazy statement too, this is a forum and there is a great deal of things that is worthy of discussion but that doesn’t mean absolutely everything is there to be debated, for instance, we could argue the sky is red… but you’d be incorrect Vaccine viability has been shown to have been incredibly effective in extending not only human but also a great many animal lifespans and improved our way of life immeasurably.. its one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs ever Your Dr cousin could of course go against this way of thinking but Id suggest he is in the wrong line of work if he does

Im not convinced believing that the Ukraine war or Vaccine viability is an ‘opinion’ to be honest I’m going to apply Hitchens Razor on this one

The whole, “who is to say my alternative view is wrong” narrative is just so completely boring Anyone who genuinely thinks that world governments have managed to find a level of collusion never before seen, is frankly batshit… these are the guys that literally couldn’t even organise a piss up without dropping everyone in it I’m all for trying to understand narratives and look into things, but this whole ‘gotcha’ movement around vaccines just stinks of people that either cannot accept the banality of their own lives or are genuinely wired incorrectly. It won’t be long before we’re all called sheep for following the status quo.. its a very tired put down.. we’re all sheep, but my personal shepherds are founded in real science and Le Tissiers are fake Dr’s on youtube

He’s an intelligent guy, but he is still down the rabit hole, he’s able to verbalise and explain his thought processes a lot better than a great many of the gullible that have been taken in by the conspirashit theories that sprung up all over the place but his arguments still fall apart when you look further behind the curtain

I suppose it depends what you want sprinkled on your cornflakes in the morning but tbh I prefer my actual news channels to be news channels and not legislate themselves as ‘entertainment programmes’ so they don’t have to fact check the thinly veiled racism they serve

I think we’ll keep 2/3 of them tbh

He’ll play at Chelsea because they don’t have a true No.6 if/when Kante leaves and he’s good enough too The only two teams he doesn’t get into straight away in the prem is probably City (Rodri) or Utd (Casemiro) Im going to assume if they’re going for Lavia then Arsenal must have Rice tied up then and PSG Ugarte

McCarthy is genuinely awful

Agree… there was times I understood the Ely inclusions (understanding and agreement is different) but I never understood why we had that period where Edozie got nowhere near the side, apparently he didn’t work back hard enough but we were screaming out for a bit of ‘pressure release’ at times and his footwork is perfect for it

Im not sure the prem resembles the bottom 2/3 leagues of Sunday league tbh

We just need the Martin smokescreen to lift and reveal Nagglesmen… or Bruce.. Im not picky

He’d be immobile next to Lavia anyway
