Personally I don't think Chaplin will prove to be good enough. I don't see that strikers instinct in him and his composure in front of goal and in one-on-ones was lacking IMO. Whoever said he had good movement in the box he doesn't spend enough time in the box to show it, always dropping deep...

Yeah, it has now become more like Football Manager where you've got the game editor and given yourself huge amounts of cash, looked up all the player stats in the editor and then signed in as manager of a second team to buy all your crap players on massively over-inflated prices. I've said...

But isn't that how we end up with entrenched views on religion, homophobia, racism etc? The historic prejudices will remain as no-one outside of that family/social circle can put forward the counter argument. Still get it with class differences - middle/upper class people look down on the...

One thing I've never got is why May leaves the dinner's at a certain point. As we're still members of the EU until such point as we actually leave I would refuse to leave the room. Maggie, love her or hate her (mainly the latter), she wouldn't be pushed around like that. I remember the stories...

He did. Then Gove (his major backer) stabbed him in the back saying he didn't believe he could do it and ran himself (only to pull out days later). This made Boris look silly and he withdrew. Boris wasn't really a Leaver (beforehand he quite often, in muted terms, was in favour of the EU) - he...

You appear to be under the same illusion as JRM and his ERG. Still under this impression of Empire and that we say something and the rest of Europe/the world does what we want. They don't. It's the same way Trump/the US thinks. Europe will of course want us back - but they're not just going to...

But the main reason for errors is lack of concentration. And the main reason those never get rectified in training is arrogance. That's why he's made the same mistakes for the last few years.

No he ain't. He's at least 6'2''.

You're right it's not being repaid but it is sitting there accruing them compound interest - fantastic way to make money for the cash rich. It does of course help CCFC short term in term of cash flow but long term the club ends up paying out more, lenders ended up receiving a lot more. Same...

As far as I was aware Everton offered him a new contract and he top scored for the U23 last season as they won the league. Does seem a bit full of himself wanting gametime at PL just like here as an academy player expecting to be in the first team but most forwards are full of themselves. Never...

But Pickford is dodgy as fuck at that level - very reminiscent of Burge IMO. Good shotshopper but makes massive howlers far too often. Ederson however I will give you - good with his feet but a quality keeper too.

The two keepers brought in seem a bit like-for-like with their replacements on first impressions. Bit surprised our back-up has so few appearances given their age. I'm always a bit wary when managers sign keepers and the first thing they say is "he's got good distribution" as usually it means...

5 inches taller? So he's 6'8''/6'9''!

I think that'd be our Waterloo....

You should have posted that twice for comedic effect

Don't expect it to be popular even if we went down the weird/camp route, but at least we'd get to have a laugh at us doing it. But whoever was doing it would have to know that was why we'd chosen them so they didn't take themselves so seriously. On which note I'd like to put forward James Blunt...

I've now just got images of a stoned Abominable Snowman in tie-die playing bongos in my head.

Should definitely treat the thing like the joke it is and send novelty acts or go for the 'oppressed minority' thing - guilt them into "if you don't vote for this you're racist/sexist/homophobic etc". I want our entry to be Brexit in a song - mash up of Blue doing "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest...

Sorry if I've misunderstood what you're saying, but i think the point was that knowing terracing was going to be given as a major factor and likely to be banned, there was going to be a huge increase in demand for seating as stadia were forced to become all-seater. Essentially if was a bit...
