Qualifying is routine now, borderline a waste of time imo. Under Southgate, we broke England records for goals scored in qualification and so on. The best team we’ve played, Senegal (in terms of world ranking) and we got battered 3-1. That’s the best team pencilled in between now and the World...

Something has definitely ‘clicked’ with the group since Serbia away. Even against Wales we blitzed them and were out of sight after 20m. I’m looking forward to Tuchel experimenting with the squad. Right now, the only change to make is to get Bellingham or Foden in the team. Anderson probably...

Realistically. 8-10 goals is a decent haul for any Championship player. It’s not groundbreaking, but solid. There will be 10-20 players in the whole division who will surpass 10 goals in a given season. People seem to forget that. To bring the conversation full circle, Haji was always going...

For BTA and Simms, last season was v much an anomaly in terms of their goal scoring. If you take 1 bad season, that can be forgiven so long they come back good the next season. In the summer, despite the v many repetitive calls, we never needed to sign a striker.

Reading away, lost 1-0. 22/23 was the only season I don’t get a ST over the last 5-6 years. Part of it was being skint, then the stadium delay but that 1/4 exit put me off football for a couple of months. Heartbreaking - international exits always hit me a bit harder. With the Luton penalty...

2022/23 season: Kane missing the second penalty v France Dabo missing the penalty v Luton With the Torp goal in 23/24, it wasn’t so much a moment that ‘haunts’ me, but it does make feel angry because that goal offside and we all know if the roles were reversed, VAR wouldn’t have intervened.

We already have NI cards... Digital ID cards are a trojan horse and frankly, its implementation should be resisted. The temerity of the Labour Party to bring this whilst calling voter ID requirements 'racist' is astounding.

Tbf, when everything you've argued for turns to shit, its a good time to call a time out. The only people I feel more sorry are the delegates at the Labour Conference who looked into the camera and rated this Government anything above a 'solid 7'. Anyone who believed Truss cutting taxes...

Exactly, this is why the international calendar needs revamping. The only reason attendances hit 75k+ is because there’s 20-30k ETSC members who go to collect the caps for away games/tournaments. I got in at 3am last night because of the closures on the M1.

What block are you in Evo? That looks eerily close to my view. I’m also on JDS scouting duty this evening.

That just isn’t true and never has been.

There was a popular opinion on here that Dr Roberts as ‘Head of Performance’ was responsible for ‘performance’ on the pitch i.e. results. If memory serves me, didn’t you and others have a lot to say about Dr Roberts and Austin last season? It’s clear that Robins messed up the post-Viveash...

I like the NBA 2K games but the ‘MyPro’ is a shameless cash grab. The slow decay of the sports video games is the introduction of ultimate team-like features. The incentive for publishers is to make that mode the best to keep people engaged and spending money. Career / online modes don’t make...

‘Primacy of the management team’, was you saying that last season when things were going badly? If not you, then enough people made the case it was the exact opposite. Even indulging quite silly conspiracy theories Robins was being deliberately undermined.

I don’t think we need to worry about any specific teams. We’re top of the table now so all we need to do from here is pick up the maximum amount of points. My gut feeling is that season will resemble Sunderland’s 24/25 rather than Leeds because we don’t have the quality of depth.

Likewise, Blackburn at home is a fixture we need to be winning. Particularly, if we’re to maintain automatic promotion form.

We’ll definitely sign a winger in Jan, by all accounts we tried to close a deal before the end of the window. KKH and Brau as back up wingers is not sustainable for the whole season. The subs we’ve made in recent games were appropriate when leading/drawing games. When we need to chase a goal...

One of the season MVE has gone up a gear this season is because KKH is a seriously good player. In fact, I’d go as far to say that we’ll probably see a KKH and MVE partnership down the right hand side at some point this season.

You’re right so far… Blackburn at home surely has to be a draw at a minimum? 👀

Personally, I’m v pleased are strikers are scoring tap-ins because it demonstrates we’re putting the ball in dangerous areas.
