Gus is probably the one I'd let go. Yes, he's good but O'Hare gets us up the pitch and has a work ethic. Strikers are expensive and he has a lot of good attributes that would be hard to find an adequate replacement for. The other potential one that might get interest is Sheaf, and that would be...

Because it's not representative of the actual amount of time the ball is in play. Games would end up lasting the best part of three hours. So if a ball is in play for approx. 30mins out of 45 under current rules, having 45 mins with a stopped clock would increase their workload by a third...

Typed out this exact reply then saw you'd already done it for me

Clearly not, no. Just because you've gone to a football match doesn't mean common decency and laws can be forgotten about for a bit. Should we give people attending other events a free pass to be dickheads for a bit afterwards. If you've gone to see the ballet can I kick someone in the...

Indeed. But you don't seem to be aware that it means the exact same contradiction applies to you in reverse. If you're going to criticise SISU for cutting costs and falling to invest as they care more about their investor's returns which can only ultimately lead to hampering our ability to...

For balance this doesn't look great either. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60940971

While it's quite a nice point but it works both ways. it doesn't make you look that great if you're making that comparison considering you think SISU only look out for themselves to the detriment of the club but laud the Tories for looking after themselves to the detriment of the wider...

Little bit fearful that without a bit of income we won't be able to continue our progression. Those out of contract will probably only pay the wages of one, maybe two new signings and we're already a thin squad. It will depend on if we can offload Walker to give us a decent wage for a third...

I think they meant more that if a player is genuinely injured, that five minutes will actually be spent treating an injury and assessing their ability to continue. If it's fake then it's just a player standing on the touchline unable to contribute for five minutes. Think stopped clock is a far...

Do you stay for all the credits as well, just in case?

There is a decent point there, but at the same time how many times (especially recently) has that goal been needed to salvage a point because we're behind and thus pushing for it while they're starting to sit back to defend their lead? Many games we've said that teams are on top of us and we...

He's at a similar level (probably slightly below the likes of Foden) and at a less fashionable club that isn't quite up there in terms of dominating games. Would I drop the current attacking players for him? No. But I'd put him in the back-ups with the likes of Saka, Mount, Smith-Rowe and...

I think it's more political acumen than not giving a shit. He seems scared to say anything for fear of alienating anyone. Whether that's due to advisors or his own nature I'm not sure - probably a bit of both.

He's almost up there with JRM in his delusion that he understands normal people

Oh, and Rishi Sunak: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-60941902 I can understand your fury about you being questioned about some investments your wife owns (voluntarily) that go against your own governments position could be comparable to someone making fun of a medical condition that...

In other news: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-60947028 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-60944314 How can you be on the wrong side of the argument so often?

I did consider saying that their other option is to massively hike up Council Tax, but then that's going to be spun negatively for local government as well. It's not exactly a generous thing to offer is it: "Hey, we're cutting the amount of money we give you and making you pay for more stuff...

Not entirely, but it's a significant part of it. Are you saying that there's no correlation in the funding available from Central Goverment along with services being transferred from Central Government control to Local Government and a council's ability to function? Given more stuff to pay for...

If someone offered enough money you'd get the Coventry Ring Road GP.

I'd be looking to bring someone else in first and this would be the fallback option if nothing can to fruition. No idea who that 'someone else' might be though.
