I think what annoys me most is that we’ve seen we can compete with some decent teams at this level, but chuck in the odd mistake (or more) and we’re much worse off than where we could be. I don’t think lower mid table is beyond our reach at all, but we have to think about what we want from...

In which case, do we play Pask at RB in a back 4 when Dabo isn’t available? Dabo looked a shadow of his former self in a back 4 and it really felt like it didn’t suit him, but there was also no width up the pitch to give him an out ball. Part of the problem for me tonight.

Stepped up to 6km today, which I really didn’t find difficult but then I think I ‘paced myself’ a bit too much - just under 40 minutes. Rest up and will probably do it again on Monday.

There was a tv show on a few years back called The Doctor Who Gave Up Drugs. Basically, doctor refused to prescribe pills unnecessarily as part of a social experiment. Found that even the patients weren’t satisfied unless they were lumped with some prescription for something or another. Strange...

Load of bollocks. Watford have about 50 players.

To be fair, I quite enjoy listening to David Icke. But I treat it as fantasy, well aware it’s not based in the real world. Interesting to learn how people like that think.

Market conditions and all that. Football is a wealthy industry, only makes sense that those at the top of the game are rewarded in kind. No, I don’t think Maguire deserves that kind of pay.

Ah. I ended up watching a re-run of the Argentina v NZ game from this morning. Brilliant performance from the Pumas, but NZ were really poor at the same time.

Been a while since I did a run of pure (relative) speed as I’ve been stepping my distance up week on week. After my 5km run yesterday I thought it’d be fun to see how quickly I can now do my initial run circuit, which measures in at 0.91 miles. Quickest time previously was 7:07 so wanted to...

To be fair, I’m pretty sure their former owner Eddie Davies funded all of that and wrote off about £170m of debt before he passed away. However, I suppose you get used to the ‘lifestyle’ so to speak, which led them to carry on spending beyond their means after that.

My point with a concussion sub is that it would literally be the opportunity of a 4th sub if a player has suspected or confirmed concussion. Would have to have an independent doctor carry out the assessment to avoid it being open to abuse by teams. Think it’s fair to say concussion injuries are...

Just managed my first ever 5km run. 30:35 on the clock which I’m quite content with.

Flicked on at HT and saw the goal. Very tidy finish.

Because someone with a broken leg isn’t going to play on, whereas unfortunately players who are concussed are at greater risk of either playing on or being asked to play on.

England playing the box formation. We’re trend setters, lads.

Sounds about right. My other half has some odd misinterpretations of English, such as “beans as” (rather than “being as”) and a fairly new revelation, “loopwarm” (and most certainly not “lukewarm”). When she said “loopwarm” for the first time I spent a good 10 minutes laughing at her.

Stupidly put £5 on Tony Finau only to find out he’s just recovered from Covid.

Don’t know enough about the semantics of what was said and how it was deemed offensive, but I believe he may have used the phrase “colourful people”. If that’s the case, sounds a bit dodgy.

Good listen tbf.
