Agreed, we’re a lot quicker at putting the ball in the box. It was often the case that under Robins, by the time we crossed the ball, defences would have 8-9 players in the box. Yesterday, there were occasions where as soon as the full back and Rudoni had the overload, the winger would sprint...

It was apparent early on in the season that we’d got a better player than COH on our books. Statistically, Rudoni has been the better player all year round and it’s not particularly close. COH was a good player for us, but he did struggle to get goal contributions for us.

Agreed! The difference this season is that Simms is starting to add a lot more to his game in open play. It feels like he’s adding more in holding up the ball and using that to contribute to build up play. Perhaps that’s my perception in this moment, but I’ve always been a fan of Simms’.

In my opinion, had Robins started the same team as last season with Dovin > Collins and Rudoni > COH from last season, he’d still be in the job. In any case, he chopped and changed and imo, it cost him his job.

Talking to some mates earlier, even Lampard sceptics and the consensus between us lot was that we’re going to go all the way [to the layoffs]… Over two legs, I’d fancy anyone but Burnley to be honest.

To be cynically facetious, doesn’t Dr Roberts deserve credit for these performances?! After all, she’s Performance Director?! 👀 Joking aside, it goes to show just how ridiculous the criticism of her really was!

There are some individuals who look ten times the players they did under MR… Step up Ellis Simms! He leads the line effectively, even in games he doesn’t score! Top player, top striker in this league!!!

I love it, we’re killing it atm and FL deserves the credit he deserves. We’re 1pt off 5th place and we’ve got the team to go all the way!

There you go, my argument about an essentially that the US system is robust to withstand dictatorial tendencies from any party, blue or red. If you look at genuine fascists countries in the past, their contexts are very different from what exists in the US today. Moreover, even if you take...

In principal, I’m not against term limits. We don’t have them in the UK? The US system is different to ours, all US secretaries of state are appointed by the president and they’re not elected unlike our cabinet ministers. Every president’s administration is run by some unelected ministers...

The Ukrainian war has proven that conventional capabilities is still the most important means of defence. A lot of defence reviews post-Cold War that the MoD undertakes emphasised the need to combat unconventional warfare. Things like cyber attacks, attacks on key energy infrastructure and...

… Has Trump thrown a Nazi salute? Musk’s salute was not Nazi one. This is ridiculous rhetoric.

Agreed on that, he had to hit the ground running because of the anger surrounding Robins’ departure. Equally, this was an exciting job for Lampard to take. We’ve invested a lot of money in the club and have Premiership aspirations so that made us more attractive than most clubs outside of the...

Go and compare what you’ve described to Mussolini and Hitler’s parties (or even Jean Le Pen’s NF) in the past and if you can’t tell the difference, I’m happy for us to knock the convo on its head and agree to disagree. In fact, you don’t have to because Trump has served one term already and it...

Of those fascistic features, which applies to Trump in your view? The Republican Party of 2024 does not resemble the blackshirts or brown shirts of 1920s Italy or Germany. Traditional mainstream media outlets remain hostile to Trump and is free. As is social media. The political system of the...

I just said that he’s not going to be a dictator nor get a 3rd term without a supermajority in congress. Then you’ve gone and done the mental gymnastics of calling him a fascists and how he just needs a pretence for what he wants to do. Believe that if you want, it just seems like you’re...

I’d ask you to define fascism but there’s little hope of that when you can’t spell it properly. It’s a real shame that the word ‘fascist’ gets bandied about so casually that it starts to lose its proper meaning. People like you dilute its meaning to just people who you don’t like and disagree with.

Classic case of Trump Derangement Syndrome. He’s not a very good dictator if he leaves office despite believing he was cheated in 2020. Biden literally mobilised the DOJ to try and convict his political rival. That is what real authoritarian leaders do. There isn’t anything wrong with firing...

You don’t know about dictators do you? Real dictators go out of their way to legitimise their power grabs. Hence even North Korea has ‘elections’ for local officials to its assembly. To govern, you also need control of the bureaucracy which is why, even with a democratic mandate, the Trump...

I’m sorry, but this is nonsense. Either he is a dictator and announces he will suspend the next elections or he democratically amends the constitution to remove the 2 term limit (only introduced after WW2). As mentioned, the latter requires a congressional supermajority. He literally won’t be...
