He scores v low xG chances and ironically, misses the higher xG chances he gets. 23 shots, 4 goals = 17.4% conversion rate. Which is good, but quite meaningless if you’re literally never going to shoot. EMC has just shy of double the shots and part of the reason that is, in my view, is that...

Top end squad player, absolutely. My ideal role for Sakamoto is to come off the bench, inject energy for last 20-30 minutes and get good crosses in the box if we’re chasing a late goal, for example. Wrexham game, he was the best player for us, the assist for EMC and his goal were top class but...

That’s pretty much what you did to me. It was funny, the joke was on me and I owned it… Again, you can’t accuse @Liquid Gold of going to ‘great effort’ when you literally went back to posts in 2013.

100% - I also don’t think Sakamoto is a top end championship winger. It’s been my unpopular opinion for a while now. Hes a good player, but you’ll get a 2-4 game streak where he’s one of the best players on the pitch… then basically no output for 8-10 games. The only players who like scoring...

My view of things is that accumulation of games caught up with the squad in December. It was also arguably our most difficult stretch of fixtures. With a bit of rest and reinforcements, we should kick on. People worrying about our form and us ‘bottling it’ really should have a look at Boro and...

Co’mon, don’t play the victim - you were more than happy digging up some post I made nearly 13 years ago to make a point. @Liquid Gold kept the receipts…

We’re 100% going to go for it. You don’t have The Guardian write an op-ed about us saying we’re gonna ‘go for it’ and then do absolutely nothing. We’ve got so far, there is no turning back this season. Some of the reactions to a downturn in form has been hysterical. I couldn’t imagine any other...

If Lampard didn’t get promoted this season, his stock will not be high. No team top at this point of the season has failed to go up. We’re in this together and frankly, we’re in a much better position than the other teams.

Grimes was signed and became an immediate key player for us. Torp was in his fist week of preseason when we signed him and EMC looked good from Day 1, Robins just didn’t know what his side was!

Russia literally declared war on Ukraine twice when Obama and Biden were in office… The guy literally warned Europe that it was too reliant on Russian energy in his first term, he was laughed at until the Ukraine war started and then the penny dropped. I don’t like Trump’s stance on Ukraine...

I’m sure officials in Moscow and Beijing were much more afraid at the prospect of dealing with a Biden/Harris led administration…

You’re worrying about stuff that’s yet to happen. We’re still in pole position to go up and as bad as our form has been over Xmas, our form is better than Boro’s over the last 5 games.

Both would be optimistic but seeing as we’ve also been linked to Liel Abada as well, it leads me to think we’re possibly after 2 wingers. To recap that’s Esse, Rak-Sakyi and Abada as well as Manneh before the window opened. It makes sense, we play 4-2-3-1 with only 2 wingers in the squad. Sky...

Odds on Raj-Sakyi happening as well? There’s noise on social media linking him to us again.

Sky seem pretty sure we’ll sign Esse:

Did it? What examples would say demonstrates this. Most major interventions post-WW2 would have denounced by the other side. Not much has changed post-Cold War either. No, they just prop dictatorships across the world.

No, I haven’t at all. The post was there to demonstrate that this construct was always a sham. During the Cold War, the official policy was ‘peace through strength’ and both main adversaries were too strong for a war to be worthwhile. The same is true today and one of the main reasons Russia...

Russia conducted its operations between both Trump administrations… Trump has nothing to do with the likes of Russia and China aggressively undermining the international law and the ‘rule based order’. Even during the Obama administration, the US was criticised for drone strike operations and...

They already do what they want… As if you say that unironically whilst there’s a war in Ukraine. China ripped up the deal they had with the UK over Hong Kong and has backed several coups itself, typically after they take power see examples in Myanmar, Africa and even propping up Maduro in...

That’s obviously the case, the point about it not being sovereign is that the Chinese are doing exactly what you accuse the US of trying to do. The number is small today, that’s correct. Venezuela has the largest oil reserves in the world and one of the reasons they’re not exporting as much as...
