So we lose another "6 pointer". The Brighton game was bad, but I thought ( hoped ) we showed a slight improvement against Fulham, only for expectations that NJ had established something to be dashed with the utter dross against Forest. He has had enough games to show he has a plan to turn things round, but he seems to be totally clueless, and this is reflected in the style of play and performances of the players. Get rid now, bring in a replacement with PL experience, and use the 2 cup games as free hits to try to organise things before Goodison.

Truth !

Now 9 votes down and still no Speaker. The hold-outs are actually disobeying Trump, who has said that McCarthy should be elected. ( They are way off the record though - 133 votes in 1856, which took 2 months ).

Currently round at our daughter's, having a 'discussion' with our Bluenose SiL and explaining that despite the opinions of Everton fans, they are certain to get 3 points from our visit..... "We're shit" "We're shitter" ( and repeat......... )

By the time we play Everton his record will almost certainly be played 7, lost 6, won 1( scabbily against Lincoln ).Losing at Goodison look a certainty, but there would still be half a season to play- sack him now, find a caretaker for the 2 cup games ( which we will lose if he is in charge so makes no difference ), new competent and experienced PL manager in for Everton. Even Dyche would do, given the alternative is keeping NJ.

He shows perfectly that not all Brazilians are gifted outfield players.

For those especting new signings - why would they if they have seen this ?

Next season in the Championship ?

Everton will be really looking forward to our visit to Goodison. No matter how shit you might be, your next league game is against Southampton.

Does anybody on the pitch understand the position we are in ?

60 minutes in, 0 shots on target.

Getting rid of Ralph was the right call. Appointing NJ was a complete collective brain fart.

This is so much worse than Pellegrino.

They cocked things up by taking Saints on in the first place.

How much more of a piss take can the Board make ?

Do we have ANY players that would improve another PL team ? ( And I include JWP in that on his current form ). Possibly KWP.

So it is your fault.

We haven't scored 2 in the PL since August.

We are going down.

The Republicans are about to fail to elect a Speaker of the House for the fourth time in 24 hours. Until they find an acceptable candidate, with about 20 extreme MAGA morons holding out against the rest of the party, no Government business take take place.

But if ( when ? ) we go down, how will those 'speculate to accumulate' promising youngsters become worth more than we paid for them ?

In an education sector where the Association of School and College Leaders say there is a "chronic shortage of maths teachers". This plan is just a headline for the Tory press. Strangely, Gove said the same thing in 2011, setting a 10 year timetable;. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-13958422

She has ruined so many lives, but I bet she doesn't get anywhere near enough jail time.

I am reading the RUSI assessment of the first 5 months of the conflict. Apart from Russia's planning for an anticipated 10 day operation not allowing for any delays or setbacks, Russian intelligence failed in other areas. ( As did Ukraine's). One interesting paragraph on how the Ukrainians responded to strikes on their airfields : "The poor Russian battle damage assessment process made the Russian military highly vulnerable to deception, which has been consistent throughout the conflict. Early strikes on Ukrainian airfields, for example, destroyed many hangars. By photographing this damage and printing the resulting pattern on to sheets, it became possible to clear the rubble and erect covers for aircraft to return to the site, sheltering in positions that the Russians would confirm as destroyed. This led – somewhat amusingly – to the Russians debating whether Ukrainian fighter aircraft were operating from subterranean shelters at several sites". As a consequence: "( Russian ) Aircraft did not fly with EW pods during the opening phase as they were not deemed necessary following the presumed success of the strike campaign. Similarly, Russian manoeuvre Forces were not properly supported by air-defence units and Russian air-defence units were told to presume that aircraft were friendly. This enabled a significant number of ground-attack sorties by the Ukrainian Air Force, including using UAVs such as TB2, against Russian formations, even when they had attached air-defence units"
