Mordaunt is odds-on to lose her seat. It genuinely wouldn’t surprise me to see Farage stage a takeover of the tories if the polls get any worst for the tories. Gaffe after gaffe is gifting Labour an easy election.

They said all their plans were funded so if there’s a £40bn black hole, someone at HQ is either lying or terrible at maths.

They don’t have to deal with the consequences of their policies because they won’t be in government. It’s why the minor parties can articulate their policies on these big debates well because no one is interested in scrutinising their program.

Immigration is single top priority for voters so it shouldn’t be a surprise that a party that says they’re willing to address that is surging in the polls. The political class has had over 20 years to address the concerns people have had. There’s been complacency that we won’t experience what...

Apparently Nigel Farage won, Rayner second and Mordaunt finishing 5th. Watched the England game instead of the debates so regretting that now.

I’ll let you do the legwork for that… 😂

Sheaf’s stat wheel shows that in the Championship, he’s the best defensive playmaker in the league - in the 95%+ in a lot of facets in the stat wheel. I’ve not seen Eccles stat wheel but it’s probably not as good as Sheaf’s. The next level for Sheaf and Eccles to improve in the final third -...

Surprised Quansah was preferred tbh but in reality, Branthwaite is not a left back and although I’d have taken him, Konsa and Gomez are more versatile options. Dunk will probably start for his aerial ability and experience. Disappointing night but it’s not worth losing sleep over. Iceland...

Didn’t we do the same at Euro 2020? Trippier played LB v Croatia but today he looked awkward.

I reckon Palmer should play 10 and Foden LW. Whichever set up, they’ll all rotate around because they’re all creative players. To support Bellingham at 8, he and Rice played well against France together in a 4-3-3 so that’s an option.

Great future, not convinced it’s his time this tournament and he’s got caught in no one’s land a few times today. Likewise with TAA on Monday. Mainoo is not better than Palmer, Foden, Saka in any case.

Reckon we try to fit Palmer, Foden and Saka in those AM, RW and LW roles. Palmer floating between the lines and swapping with Foden. Eze as a super sub. Bellingham and Rice in the 4 and 8 roles, I’m just not convinced with Mainoo or TAA in CM and it’s too soon for Wharton imo.

£3.5m upfront is a bargain for a 22-year old, 19 goal striker bearing mind he’d score 3 goals in 2023 for us.

Agreed. This Stamenic, Sanches, Rudoni and even Browne are all players that are considered ‘box-to-box’, possibly Rudoni is the exception. Both Sheaf and Eccles, for all of their tackling and passing, didn’t really impact the game in the box. Of those two, Sheaf is the better player and this is...

Housing is a massive issue in the UK. My deposit for a house when I buy will be more than the property my mum bought in the mid-nineties. She worked at a pub and was a single parent. Single-income middle class professionals can barely get on the property ladder, let alone people like my mum...

I believe there’s a lot of promotion add-ons too. Particularly on Simms deal, not as sure on Wright.

He’s shown some real glimpses of quality on the ball and shown he could be a real asset. Needs to develop the physical side of his game and with a good run in the team and a preseason under his belt, he should smash it. This season was a bit stop:start. He comes in at the start of his Norwegian...

I’ll admit I’ve changed my tune on Eccles and see him as a potentially top Champ DM - the Leeds performance really highlighted that. However, I don’t think we’ll get promoted with Sheaf and Eccles playing in the same midfield in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3. Neither has the game changing ability that...

With Saddle and others, I think it’s scepticism that’s gone a bit OTT at times. We’re all collectively scarred and mistrusting of owners after the SISU experience. On one had you had near hero-worship with the song he has and on the other, you’ve got some people framing things in there least...

The process doesn’t need to be rushed as that’s how clubs can end up blundering in the transfer market. Unlike last season, we can afford to buy players before we bring in any transfer revenue because we have saleable assets should we need to raise capital. Last season I suspect we weren’t 100%...
