    Plan B?

    Thats what I mean. The problem wasn't the tactics, it was the players inability to pass the ball a few feet to a teammate. I appreciate they're L1 players and sometimes a pass is going to go astray but yesterday was ridiculous. I think we should look to sort out a basic, simple problem before...

    Plan B?

    If other teams are pressing high shouldn't that mean they tire towards the end of the game from all the chasing and there is more space in midfield for us to control the game. If they're pressing why can't we just pass it forward past them?

    That makes no sense to me. Why would you want to make it so that getting drunk becomes way more expensive as you're buying twice as much booze and a load of gear?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Nothing stops them now and they can drive around Europe unchecked. Hence why it is important countries that border a non-EU country have checks in place. I thought one of the reasons for leaving was to 'take back control'? Or are we conceding that was another lie and we'll actually have less...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    In terms of putting a border in place absolutely nothing. However a membership requirement is to maintain the integrity of the single market. That places the burden on Ireland. Their government has already stated the options they will be left with is put border controls in place between Ireland...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    How will it? It will only be effective for those who are happy to abide by the rules and declare their goods. Do you think someone with a truckload of heroin (extreme example I know but it illustrates the point) is going to voluntarily go to a border check miles away from the border and declare...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I haven't seen the plans but I would guess it would be like every other border in the world. Do you know of a border outside a customs union that has zero border infrastructure? But lets say we do just leave an open border, or have checks miles away from the border, how have we then 'taken back...

    The Hundred

    The whole thing is a shambles. The ECB don't seem to know who their target market is. When it was first announced they claimed there was an audience of people who don't normally watch cricket as its too long who would suddenly all turn up if T20 games were 20 balls shorter. Having said its...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    If you do it away from the border how are you stopping anything not declared passing over the border? How are you stopping illegal immigrants just walking straight in to the UK unchallenged? That doesn't seem to fit the mantra of 'taking back control' to me. 'Away from the border' is a cop out...

    Its completely idiotic behaviour, there's no excuse for it. Unfortunately it seems to be getting worse and we can see from some of the comments on similar threads in the past that self policing isn't going to work as they don't think they're doing anything wrong. Needs stamping out. Not sure...

    A message to Mark Robins

    Today was appalling, there's no way around that. But the idea that we've got to October 5th before losing yet should now panic and completely rip up the plan and start again is ridiculous. The mistakes today weren't because they were trying to do things only Man City are capable of, they were...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Ireland will, they will have contingency plans for it. Varadkar has repeatedly stated they will not allow Ireland to be moved out of the single market by the actions of the UK. If they are to remain in the single market it is their responsibility to enforce any borders. The EU have said they...

    Expect there will be a fine, and we all know what budget that will come out of, and possibly reduced allocations at future away games. There's no excuse for that sort of behaviour.

    Going to be a tough task to turn this around. They can just shut up shop if we start pressing and we don't have many options on the bench in terms of potential game changers.
