I think it's the Miliband situation - advisors making him look indecisive. you don't spend that long as a QC without knowing how to fight your corner. Miliband as leader looked like a rabbit in the headlights. Since going back to being an ordinary MP on the whole he's been pretty impressive...

It's a raffle - he's not selling it for over retail price. The winner gets a PS5 for £20*. Everyone else has taken a punt at getting one for £20 and been unsuccessful. Like buying a lottery ticket. No idea the reason why he's doing it, either for personal gain or altruistically, but whatever it...

I'd take the draw right now. Given their form is a winnable game and I hope we go into in that frame of mind. Think we can score against them but got to be mindful of a ball to Armstrong if we press high - our defence isn't the quickest.

And what proportion of the time are the Tories in power in this country? You can safely assume that Tories will spend a lot of time in power. You can also safely assume they'll not do a great deal to improve the north, or even stop it stagnating. What has increased the amount the region has...

Once again you're mistaking me writing what SHOULD be happening to deal with the problem with what IS happening. The whole point of what I wrote was what we're currently doing is fucked up and makes no sense as to actually solving the problems like immigration. I'm saying that what you're...

Definitely felt like spring today. Walk in the park, Sunshine actually feeling like it's being absorbed into my skin. Birds singing. Crocuses and snowdrops are out. If it's like this tomorrow I'll be listening to the match while going for a long walk in the sun in my shorts. I love it. Might...

Makes the decision to play the extra seamer instead of two spinners look unbelievably stupid. In India for me the default should be the extra spinner playing. There's a reason India are renowned for their spin bowlers more than their seamers.

Talking of embarrassing dives

I don't think that's necessarily the case. If it were wouldn't these people be complaining Kelly doesn't do what Hamer does and vice versa as well as what they can do? People realise midfielders do different things. At this moment in time it's difficult to say exactly what Sheaf is meant to be...

I agree entirely but then surely those that complain about Biamou's strike rate are equally problematic. Biamou is a workhorse forward rather than a goalscorer. So if we're going to excuse Walker's workrate then we also have to excuse Biamou's lesser prowess in front of goal.

Wasn't expecting to score tonight given their defensive record but we didn't look outclassed. Admittedly they went for timewasting after getting the goal and got away with it. Chances MR calling them 'streetwise' in the interview? At our best we could've definitely won that game but didn't have...

Shove Osti up front and lump it for last 90 sec.

Would be great to score in injury time given their time wasting. Can't see it though.

Subs haven't had the same effect they did at weekend.

Maybe James told him to?

He's type of striker who is anonymous for 80mins then pops up with a goal. Who else do we think is likely to get a goal? Biamou has been more involved than Walker but hasn't taken chances that have come his way.

Grendel put up one of his 'stats' that Biamou was shit cos he hadn't scored a header. Someone else put the game is now played more on the floor and so headed goals are much less prevalent than they were. This has been interpreted as them saying no-one scores headed goals anymore.

But just about perfect for Biamou's first touch then

If that's true it's got to be one of the most stupid things to put into a managers contract - creates a conflict of interest of doing what's best for the team and what's best for them financially. I guess they do it to placate managers having star players sold. Can't complain as much if you're...

I used to assume it was someone with a stopwatch measuring it but it does appear it's based on passes made. It could be a massive co-inkydink but those stats Barnsley has put up, Norwich made 72% of the passes. That just happens to be the exact amount of time they spent in possession as well.
