    Binks and Dasilva

    Why do we pretend age isn’t a thing? If you’re happy aiming for a top half finish and maybe trying to sneak into the final playoff position then Bidwell would be fine. I’m more ambitious than that; I’d imagine you are too.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Regrettably you are right. However, any concessions should be negotiated by Ukraine really. I don’t think there’s necessarily a problem with the USA having a ‘seat at the table’ but that’s not quite what’s happening, is it. I’ll caveat the above by including the line “under current geopolitical...

    Use “extensive Freedom of Information requests to public bodies to delve deeply into how carelessly our tax money is being spent”. A prime example being the necessity of civil servants to respond to spurious FoI request.

    Milan Van Ewijk and Tatsu Sakamoto - Casualties of the System

    Only issue is with current personnel we’d lose our natural width on the right. The 325 thing isn’t new but you need a player capable of holding width on either flank. Thinking back to one of the great Barca teams, you had Alba and Alves operating wide which meant the front 3 could all tuck...

    Milan Van Ewijk and Tatsu Sakamoto - Casualties of the System

    It’s part of why I’d be keen on Binks at LB. He could transition to a 3rd CB easily enough but is also competent enough on the ball to push into CDM when we’re on the attack.

    Germany *again*

    Far be it from me to suggest conspiracy, but a quick flurry of these types of incidents probably does the AfD no harm does it.

    Looking forward to Iran 2038 already.

    How good is Sakamoto?

    Shame in a way that he got injured last season as I had floated the idea between friends that he could have been someone to flip quickly. Not sure he’ll get back to the outputs of last season.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    First time I’ve watched the players warm up in ages. Fucking hell, Simms’ technique is soooooo bad.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Queens Park Rangers Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    I’d be really keen to see us play a back 4 with Binks at LB. Think his game would be more suited to that, and they can shuffle into a 3 when we’re attacking. Edit: or invert into defensive midfield when we’re up the field.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Might just be me but not really following why it makes the blindest bit of difference either way. Obviously the manchild wants it as America but, practically, what changes?

    Summer Transfer Window

    You can pick any CBs from the Championship and you’ve ended up with that shit?

    The reduction will likely have been priced into the deals you were looking at - there was an expectation the rate would be lowered. What may lead to some slight reductions is the 2 members of the MPC who wanted a more aggressive rate cut, which suggests it may drop quicker than anticipated.

    Leeds player ratings

    I just thought Lati was particularly bad last night. You’re right, though, they were all terrible really and it brings back into focus that the defence needs major surgery in the summer. I’ve said before I actually don’t mind any of the CBs on an individual basis but you wouldn’t be confident...

    Road closures

    Since they came into force (well, a few weeks after) I started taking the train. Piece of piss in comparison.

    Leeds player ratings

    It was his unwillingness to defend the wide channels that was sending me loopy. Given they were doubling up on the wings, you needed him to go and engage one to free up Van Ewijk to press the other. He just stayed tucked in. Leeds really gave us the runaround in the first half, pulling everyone...

    Championship thread 24/25!

    Think it’s fair to say at times their play can be unbelievable due to the speed and intricacy of a move. By and large, though, it’s passing for passing’s sake with no individuality. Look at Grealish at Man City. It’s killed him. No beating a player; if you don’t have an opening just pass to...

    Those are the kind of situations that tariffs were actually designed for.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I’m not passing judgement or comment on the council tax announcement as, to be honest, I’ve no idea on the detail. The one thing I will say is that clearly economic and geopolitical conditions have changed, and it’s understandable some of Labour’s policies have to change as a result. In...
