Kind of. It was more like one of those residents association newsletter things - about 8 pages of school 'news' and filler from students to pad it out. Always had a section on the sports with the players getting regular name checks, as well as mention in stuff like assemblies and school notices.

I know - that's why I found it fascinating. Like watching a 5-4 footy game. 1st innings Sat was just crazy, Boston 1st innings Sun the same (3HR in a row) then the 7th for Yankees was just one of the strangest things ever. By the time BRS scored 4 in the 8th you were almost immune to the...

I seem to remember from school that a few of those that were good at sport were full of themselves - I think a lot of the time because they were the ones constantly getting in the school paper etc and getting loads of attention, esp from the girls. I guess when you're at a point when you're just...

And London.

Did you go to the London games? Some of it was truly bizarre, but really interesting to watch. Don't know if there's something about between 6-7pm like the light levels at the stadium but fielding totally went to pot in both games around that time. 3 out of 4 starting pitchers not lasting an...

Not overly familiar with the lad but the stats and comments suggest he's an improvement on Shipley (who I had as starting next to Kelly) so him and Kelly together should be a solid foundation in the middle. i'm genuinely excited at this point, especially with a better playing surface, and while...

A thing with the accounting of the NHS is that many of the economic benefits aren't seen directly and so while a lot of money is spent on it, very little is attributed to it. Treatment of health problems and disease allowing people to return to work quicker, thus generating income and taxes as...

I also see in an interview Hunt has said the next PM needs to be 'trustworthy' and 'personality' is key to getting Brexit done. I don't think there's many people at all that consider Hunt trustworthy (maybe more so than Boris but in the same way I'd rather be put in an enclosure with a lion than...

I've said this a few times now but with the accidental/deliberate thing it can be so open to opinion. There are loads of penalties given even before VAR which I felt were not deliberate but were given. And even then what if its not deliberate but stops a clear chance/goal? Surely that deserves...

Mission accomplished.

Re: training - do the players actually train at times of the day that mirror match days? It might seem a trivial thing but if we're usually playing 3pm wouldn't it be even a slight advantage if the body is used to strenuous exercise at that time of day? If you train in the am and by mid...

I think he's got more ACM attricutes than box-to-box - he's far too weak defensively to do that. He can pick a pass and travel with the ball - things I'd associate more with an ACM. He's an (A)CM.

Yes. He'd play the role in a different manner to Bright but IMO would be more effective there than next to Kelly. If he is, he'd probably be a bit deeper to give him more space to look up and pass, but that potentially leaves the striker isolated so we need the two next to him pushing on to...

I think Max will become a bench option and potential super-sub (esp to begin with as he comes back from injury). He'd let us change things up front, with a bit of strength and hold up play so we can go more direct when needed and he tends to score spectacular goals so if we need that spark to...

I'm hoping MR will be drumming into Chaplin to get in the box and making the opposition track him instead of dropping deep. If MR asks him to play that deep role you've got to question MR, but if he asks Chaplin to play up and he keeps dropping back he's got to move him on and look for better...

1. Yes 2. No 3. Possibly - depends on why they triggered the extension. Was it just so they could get a fee for him? 4. He's not on a free

It does seem a bit "a moving target is harder to hit" - keep the cycle going so no-one can focus on any one thing. Trouble is he seems to have got mired in this domestic argument a bit. He needs a new distraction. Strange thing is, as much as I think Boris is totally incompetent I still think...

If it let us sign a different striker and there was confirmed interest in them I can. Just as I can see Bayliss being allowed to leave if it meant Bright coming in.

In terms of numbers and budget I can see why the striker isn't a priority, but surely they must be looking and if they see someone who'd improve the strikers they'd try and get them and let one or two go if necessary. We definitely need to up our conversion rate this season.

Perhaps we should have the rule they can leave their line as soon as a player starts their run up. At least it 'd stop those stupid Pogba-esque stutter steps bollocks,
