Didn't take them long to start making it about the oil did it? Even though there appear to be severe doubts about the legality of the election how can you just then declare the opposition leader the winner. If it was a fraudulent election the only thing you can call for is a rerun election...

Doesn't tend to work very well for economic data, as it's so unevenly distributed, and also age doesn't work well especially in global terms.

Community day - big crowd = poor performance and heavy defeat. Can see this being the day the fans lose patience and a pretty horrific atmosphere by the end. Team: _________________Burge Sterling___Hyam_____Willis/Davies____Mason Thomas__Kelly___Bayliss/Westbrooke___Enobakhare...

But that in itself is a problem. Without Doyle the team doesn't seem to have that mental strength or on-pitch leadership. With him in the team he sits too deep and we're forced back and unable to create the chances or have one isolated attacker and the ball keeps on coming straight back at us...

Maybe, but the strikers were still missing chances when Burge wasn't making errors. Personally, it's far harder for a defender than a striker. You can play like a hero for an entire game, slip in injury time and cost your team. Strikers can be useless and have a shot hit them on the arse and...

I believe both happened, with pre-recorded footage taken as a back-up in case something went wrong with the camera feed etc. Can you imagine if they's had the news and said "now we go live to the moon landings" and the picture just went blank? There'd have been even more conspiracy theories than...

Yes it was (but in a friendly way :)) Fair enough you only saw the one deflection and didn't know who it came off, but given that there wasn't another player in Sky Blue within 5-6 yards of it when it happened I'd have thought it'd be pretty easy to deduce it wasn't Chaplin ;) Anyway, it's all...

Talking about the deflection, I was assuming you meant a deviation as it went past Chaplin (i.e. a second deviation after the first from the defender's deflection) as you couldn't argue it was caused by Chaplin if it happened five yards before it reached him. Another thing that proves is we...

Burge and the defence are making more mistakes recently but is this because they're becoming nervous because they've lost all confidence in the strikers scoring and think if we don't keep a clean sheet we've got no chance of winning? Then they let one in and get even worse because they think if...

It is becoming problematic. He had the system last year and due to injuries changed it to two up front - that worked and we got promoted. He tried to go back to 4-2-3-1 at the start of this season and it didn't work again. We were again largely forced to a more 2 up top formation due to...

He may claim it, but he didn't hit it. All strikers do it. Are you sure it maybe didn't hit a small imperfection on the pitch that caused it to move ever so slightly, or just a natural curve on the ball? Because no matter how many times I've seen it, I don't see any chance in direction at all...

Watching the EFL show last night the guy doing the voiceover for our highlights (think it was Nick who used to do the Sky NFL games) described Chaplin as 2usually reliable". Unless he meant usually reliable in missing easy chances. Mind you, he did also say that in missing that chance he looked...

I would love to know how the set-up of this works. Is it MR tells the HoR who he wants and it's the HoR's job to negotiate the transfers (which is how I'd prefer to work it) or is it that HoR gets reports from scouts and decides who to sign and MR has to fit them in? Only reason I ask is that...

Maybe idiocy wasn't quite the right choice of word, but it definitely seems his refusal to bring Chaplin off is stubbornness rather than due to performance or tactics, and if he doesn't stop doing it it'll cost him his job. I think you can argue that is idiotic. No-one can say that there hasn't...

From my experience whenever we get a bog crowd in the team freezes and we are absolutely awful. I'm sure people can point to games with big crowds like Wembley etc that we've won. but I tend to find big home crowds sees us do worse than normal. I can really see the pressure getting to the...

I'm not knocking them, just pointing out that some of our most promising youth players have failed dismally yet average looking ones like Wilson are now England internationals and touted for £50m+. It can't be taken as read this will translate to the first team.

Trouble is we've seen in the past a decent academy team, decent reserves and then just dogshit in the first team. No idea what we do in coaching them in the transition but so many just seem to totally lose it from what look like incredibly promising starts.

I've said elsewhere that he's my tip for breakthrough next season, potentially replacing Bayliss.

At the moment the strikers next week I'd pick by Tombola - shove everyone not already playing in and first two out get to play up front. Why not Shipley playing up top - not like he can do any worse is it? Would totally flummox the opposition too!

No, use the money of a dedicated shooting coach instead.
