    USSR invades Ukraine.

    Thought his government had collapsed?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    The key really is the skill level of the job and the level of education provided alongside. I’ve just stuck “apprentice” in Indeed and one of the roles is a mobile phone repair apprenticeship.

    Weight and working out

    What exercise are you doing (if any)? What is the ‘profile’ of your diet? I wouldn’t get too focused on weight given the journey you’ve been on. It’s possible that there’s been muscle gain or, as MMB says, water retention if the salt content of your diet has been higher than usual.

    Ruud Van Nistelrooy applies for Coventry Job

    I haven’t watched Lincoln but virtually none of their underlying stats suggest I’d be keen on their manager.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I like how someone has clearly been passed a message that “one word grading system will need to be changed” and immediately thought the same but with two words might help.

    England - Lee Carsley Era

    Started brightly but gone very flat. Kyle Walker pissing me off, playing far too narrow in possession.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Anyway if it is Lampard then hopefully he can get us a slightly better quality of player who didn’t make the grade at Chelsea. I hear Mo Salah and Kevin De Bruyne are out of contract soon.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    I actually meant to add a comment that it doesn’t mean we’d be the team to do it, but rather that it is doable.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    At the same stage of the season last year, Norwich were 7 points off the playoffs. They ended up 3 points clear in 6th. 10-point swing. At the same stage the season prior, Middlesbrough were 7 points off the playoffs. They finished 4th with clearance of 6 points from 7th. 13-point swing. At...

    Dean austin

    As soon as you think of ‘the structure’ as the departmentalised ‘Football/Performance/Recruitment/etc’ and not the literal number of coaches, it makes sense of most of your points.

    Southport Stabbing

    I know this isn’t solved overnight, but seems to be radio silence on attempts to clear the asylum backlog. I will maintain that the greatest ‘deterrent’ is a properly functioning asylum system.

    Match Thread Supporter's Meeting with Doug King Match Thread

    Gut feel is Boateng and Carr survive, Delaney and Dempster back to U21 and Williams let go.

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Only thing that annoyed me about that was that Thomas should therefore have gone through the middle. It was the only means of disrupting Derby’s shape. If he’d done that on a couple of occasions someone would have had to step to him which then opened up other areas. Couldn’t for the life of me...

    Who should the statue be of?

    Given me a great idea for a CCFC-themed monorail.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Gerrard can come in as Lampard’s assistant. With the new rules about only one member of coaching staff being allowed in the technical area, one would have to sit whilst the other went.

    Ex Player Watch

    Generally agree, although I’m unconvinced he was entirely to blame for that. We’ve spoken about his injuries and the fact Robins used to leave him on the pitch when it was clear he couldn’t move.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    Equally, the attitude that stability, regardless of the quality of manager, is the only means of progression is for the birds. I wasn’t wholly ‘Robins Out’ but on a football level I’m not too disheartened about the decision, and I actually agree with a lot of those who are making the case that...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    Couple of observations: - Concern around Lampard moving on if he was successful. Given his style of play and his struggles at Everton, not entirely convinced I’d want him in charge of trying to keep us up if we made it to the PL. - He was manager when Simms started getting some game time at...

    Which players you taking

    Definitely 92. The 98 iteration was in the running til Overmars and Cocu were the final 2. Not that they’re particularly bad players, just not the same level.

    What’s your expectation for the new guy?

    It’s almost better to have a points target in mind. You can’t legislate for what the rest of the league does. 67 points this season given where we are at the moment would suffice. And whilst Wright may be out, it’s up to any new manager to find a system that gets the best out of others in his...
