Good overview and lovely details on individual players. It is jarring that he is talking about Rudoni being a LWB when he’s not played there since the Robins days! He’s completely missed that we’ve already transitioned back to 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 rather than 5-3-2.

Ipswich have tied up top end Championship talent with their spending this season. Luton lost their talisman and hadn’t spent much of the Prem money on top championship talent in the first place. If anything, I could see Leicester struggling the most out of the relegated teams, particularly if...

There’s no reason why we can go up this season. Since Lampard has took over, we’ve been the 4th best team in the league (technically 3rd until Burnley play their game in hand) so we’re more than capable of finishing in the playoffs. From there, it’s anyone’s chance and we’d most likely be...

It is worth noting that Oxford have a strong home record so this was never going to be a walk over. It was disappointing in parts because we left ourselves open and gave them chances to get something from the match. They hadn’t had a shot on target for a few games before today. The build up for...

I actually thought Simms had a decent game today despite the penalty miss. Frankly, I didn’t have confidence that he would bury it and it wasn’t a good strike. He brought a lot of physicality against their CBs and pinned them back a bit when we lumped the ball up. Haji had some nice flashes...

We have a UCL winning assistant manager and that Jones has coached at Chelsea under the best managers to ever do it (Ancelotti, Mourinho and more). The quality of coaching is telling on the pitch. I’m hoping our success will allow Lampard to expand the set up and get 1-2 more top quality...

Agreed with this. I do think this sense of an inevitable loss or draw is because of our early form and there’s a disbelief that we’re winning so many games. There’s a reason many people fancied us to be top 3 or 4 before the season started, we’ve addressed the biggest positional need going into...

The attention to detail is there under Lampard and his team. The broad plan is more of less the same. We move the ball quicker and get the ball in the box earlier. Defensively, the box has been defended a lot better consistently since Lampard has come in. The second goal today where EMC just...

I’d try 4-4-2 potentially. The shape in defence was 4-4-2 in defence with Eccles playing higher up than usual. Great opportunity for Torp when he comes back though if Lampard sticks with 4-3-3/4-2-3-1.

Great shout! Lovely finish from Tats!

Point 1 - how do you achieve that victory? The same electorate who voted for Biden, Trump x2 and Obama x2 was mostly the same. So was the electorate more enlightened in 2020 compared to 2016 and 2024? I’m curious to understand the maths here. Why is voting Democrat inherently in the interest...

You say that as if Ukraine isn’t Europe’s 3rd biggest country. What would you define as victory? Just to be clear because I don’t want to misinterpret anything here… 49.8% of the US voted for Trump, what % of the 77.3m of those people would you say are ‘uneducated’ or ‘misinformed?’ Just as...

Even if all those things are true and that’s debatable… Russia has the political will to prosecute war, Europe really doesn’t. Things aren’t much better over the pond in the EU. The issues are more or less copied and pasted in all the major EU economies.

Classic playbook of condescending liberals… anyone who votes in a way contrary to how they vote is ‘uneducated’, ‘susceptible to propaganda’ or the best one ‘didn’t know what they were voting for’. People know what they voted for, they’re not uneducated and cajoled by propaganda… they just have...

Perfect, then all the European powers can join the war in Ukraine and win it without the USA. Russia has a more active military personnel than approximately; France, Italy, Germany, UK, Spain and Poland combined. There’s still change left over of around 100k military. Russia’s economy and...

There you go and he said he’s never been so proud of a US president before… it’s not like a bad thing for the US to put US interests first. Our number one priority should be ourselves. Look at the sorry state of our armed forces, we’re not in a position to project power even if we wanted too.

He’s not a well versed diplomat and quite confrontational. He’s offended the Biden administration and a few European states. Trump is someone you don’t want to berate or risk humiliating in public and that’s exactly what Zelensky did.

The US public opinion seems to be in favour of Trump and Vance here. He’s in the Oval Office, dressed in military slacks and because he doesn’t seem grateful, it’s rubbed up a lot of Americans up the wrong way. Watching the whole unprofessional exchange in full, in my view, Zelensky said a few...

If you look at how devastated the occupied regions are and the sheer manpower Russia has lost… it’s almost been relegated to China’s vassal with how dependent it is on them economically. The cost of the war on Russia means they would rather fight to the death than give up their ‘gains’...

In reality Russia has exhausted a lot of its military capacity and unlike Ukraine and Georgia, the Baltics are in the EU and members of NATO. Therefore, there’s an obligation to fight Russia then. The lesson the UK & EU needs to take from this is that we need to rearm and build up our military...
