I’m keeping a level head because all that matters is qualification and then the World Cup. My concern is that the level competition is so low, the team won’t be tested sufficiently before the World Cup. Roy Keane just mentioned it on ITV; Tuchel needs to be really hone in on his best team. Let...

No, the 4-0 was played at Molineux. Which makes it worse to be honest. We lost away too, 1-0.

I’ve never left a football game so disgusted. I nearly left early at 2-0 to make an earlier train that day and regret not doing so… Look, we’ve got a world class manager now… the only way he improves on Southgate is if he wins something. The bar is set that high now. I just hope we don’t get...

If we get promoted, absolutely. I genuinely think Carsley would be good manager at international level. If TT didn’t stay beyond the World Cup, he should have a crack at it full time. As a whole, I’m not convinced elite club managers make the best international managers. Objectively, Tuchel...

Liam Delap should be in the next few camps if he gets off to a good start at Chelsea. Sipping on my copium here, Spain’s manager got off to a rocky start, losing 2-0 v Scotland and they went on to dominate the Euros as dark horses. I’m hoping TT is on a similar trajectory. Senegal are the best...

If anything, he needs to find a consistent team that he can rely on to win games. This is a petty example, but playing Jones at RB v Andorra is pointless. At least when Southgate played Trent at CM, he intended to actually play him there in a major tournament (which failed ofc). Tuchel talks a...

Ngl, I’m hoping this is just teething problems…

I’m certain the Lib Dems exchanged backing the tuition fee increases in exchange for the AV referendum. I may off the mark because this purely ‘off the top of my head recall’. If I’ve recalled correctly, what a calamitous decision from a ‘grown up’ like Nick Clegg.

I know right, some of the most stupid people you’ll ever meet have BAs, MAs or PhDs… 😂

It happened in Maidenhead and Windsor this last election too. Two seats I got an insight in because a judo mate of mine (Lib Dem) campaigned in Maidenhead and my old uni mate (Tory) was involved in the campaign for the Windsor seat. In both seats, there was a lot of tactical voting to oust the...

That’s true, but then what options is there at CM? You’ve got capable players defensively, but in terms of players who create chances, get goals and assists… it’s lacking quite a lot.

The Lib Dems is a strange one, they don’t neatly fit in the ‘left’ category per se. Traditionally, the Lib Dems tended to do well against the incumbent party of government. Right now, what do they even stand for? They’re an effective local party machine that’s good at campaigning on local...

Not at CM and AM simultaneously. Looking at our bench, you have Eccles, Allen and Torp. Eccles and Allen perform the same role (more or less), In my mind, the bench should look something like this: GK RB/LB - (JDS for now) CB - (Binks/Lati) CM - defensive minded (Eccles) CM - creative (Torp)...

That would be suicidal. Structurally, FPTP favours Labour the most in terms of votes per seat and has done in any of our life times. Imagine all the left wing voters who’d flock to the Greens which has happened in a few countries in Europe who have PR. Or even the possibility of a Corbynista...

It’s survival instinct kicking in. Reform is the largest party in polling and Farage has said he’d scrap the license fee. It’s a case of sucking up to the ‘heir to the throne’, so to speak. Reform voters as whole do not trust the BBC at all either. There is a creeping credibility crisis...

There’s a lot to like about Torp but he’s much more suited to being a CM. If Rudoni got injured, could you trust Torp and/Allen to fit in at AM for more than a handful of games? Probably not. It’s all well and good having 3-4 strikers in the squad, but on game day, you need players to make an...

We kind of did. There wasn’t really much to change the game v Sunderland and other games towards the end of the season. We’re relying on Rudoni to play AM with no alternative. Overall, the squad is in a good place but it needs beefing up with 3-4 quality players and current starters pushed...

To be honest, I’m coming round to the idea that we need to leave the ECHR, repeal the Human Rights Act and replace it with a British Bill of Rights. Labour scrapping Rwanda without an alternative was a serious blunder. Even if it was a flawed plan and didn’t do what set out to do, it removed...

No, not at all. I believe results like 2019 and 2024 is a vindication of first past the post. There’s point you seem to miss is that Labour’s public support is low to begin with so their landslide majority could become a minority v quickly. Polling suggests this is the case already.

I thought he scored v Stoke too?
