Blackpool v Huddersfield. Granted the score was 0-0 at the time but there was never a replay of it.

Also the fact they seem to be responsible for set pieces which haven’t exactly gone to plan for a while.

2 reasons: - Haji can play that left-sided role as effectively as EMC in my opinion. - It would have given us a genuine chance at a succession plan. I just feel Kone was underpriced when you compare to the type of winger we’d be paying out for. RW and ST would have been my ideal.

Performances clearly light years ahead of our start last season. I said after the Cardiff game (Lampard’s first) that I thought this is the style he wanted. Squad a little thin to be playing high-pressing football consistently though so there is a risk it drops off.

Fair point, I’ll ring MI6 and let them know.

Or a winger and striker. Still a bit miffed we didn’t make a play for Richard Kone.

Someone (think it was @HuckerbyDublinWhelan) floated the idea that he lacks concentration. Looked back and when he was at Swansea he was facing an average of 5 shots per match - until today that was 2 per match with us. It’s a slightly different skillset dependent on how busy you are and my gut...

Why could he not get it going last season at Luton in your view?

You’re not interested in a discussion on this, as has been shown many times, so pointless wasting my energy.

Which is by its nature a wealth tax i.e. you’re making it more costly to own assets with a sliding scale based on value. You seem to think it’s just a case of picking a rate to charge billionaires on their share portfolio.

Willing to vouch for Nick on this and suggest it’s a bit weird.

You consistently and spectacularly miss the point every time this is raised. 1. Tax can raise revenue and also address societal issues. Smoking, for example, is heavily taxed because of the negative impact on the wider economy - a means of discouraging a certain behaviour via taxation. 2...

Where am I seeing this?

And I feel this is the fallacy: to my mind at least, raising revenue is a secondary aim of any ‘wealth tax’ with the primary aim being to disincentivise the hoarding of wealth/assets. Whose purpose does it really serve having families at the top of the tree sitting on billions upon billions?

If true (big if) I can’t help but think the subtext is exactly the same albeit from the opposite end of the spectrum. If they were pulled down it would be ‘proof’ that racism is rife and start off something bigger.

And clearly the inverse of that is having to cut public spending by billions upon billions, meaning services that I would expect are disproportionately used by the less well-off are either scaled back or dismantled completely. This has just come in as I was typing the above, but the triple...

There’s such thing as track record. Collins had already shown to be poor in the 23/24 season, so dropping him back in last season only for him to revert to type he was never going to get the rub of the green. I do think Rushworth has started poorly but I’m also quietly confident that he will...

I really do wonder whether McSweeney is behind all this (as in, the internal Labour misgivings) as a play to get Streeting in charge.

“bad mistake” errrrrrrrrr……
