The first goal isn’t as bad as has been made out. It was a long ball up to the winger, he crosses it first time and it was a good finish. These are low % moves that when they come off, are unplayable. People saying ‘where was JDS’ are being really unfair. The ball moved a lot quicker than just...

Haji looks like he’s checked out to be honest. There were times he could’ve turned with the ball and ran at a defender but just gave it straight back. My judgement is perhaps clouded by Haji getting new representation and following that Burnley fan account. I’ll freely admit I’m probably...

He did against Charlton, and some poor defending from Brau cost us the equaliser. We also stood off Ipswich more on the 29th and the fans were getting on player’s backs. You can’t help things like yesterday when Birmingham score all 3 shots they had on target. The goal that’ll have Lampard and...

100% - I don’t think it’s tactical, there’s been a lot put on the players starting and if they’re only executing at 85-90%, it isn’t enough at this level. Look at Ipswich, in one position they had 2 players valued £30-40m to rotate on a game by game basis. Both Philogene and Clarke would be the...

I think it’s more likely that the players are just not executing at 100% because they’re dead on their feet. From Boxing Day, they’ve played 4 games in 9 days and it’s a thin squad. Players are probably also jaded by the flu that’s gone around too, all these little % points here and there add...

We’ll be active in the transfer market so we’ll be alright in the end. My view is that we’ve been unlucky in this stretch of games and things will revert to the norms soon.

I’m not panicking, it’s been a tough schedule and this week has come at the right time to freshen up the pack and bring in a few players. Far too many people losing their nerve. We’re still top by 2 games!

We probably should’ve had 3-4 penalties since Charlton at home and could’ve been worth about 5-7 points. I’m not one for conspiracies, but it is taking the piss now.

Hahaha you’ve nicked my joke there. 2 rounds that night, both over disappointingly earlier! 😂🎯

I 100% agree. Even my Mrs said ‘that was over quick’ and I felt like GVV just lost heart at 3-1 down to be honest. Both men are great talents though!

Hold the line. We’re still doing this!

It’s only an ‘illegal’ action if Maduro is a legitimate leader of Venezuela. He’s not…

Is what China and Russia was doing not bully boy imperialism? They were propping up a regime friendly to them. If we want to go down the whataboutisms we’d have to bring up China and Russia’s actions in Latin America and Africa. The ‘international rule based order’ ironically only worked when...

Yes, it dos need explaining. Maduro and his government was illegitimate and he was a dictator. The regime is indefensible and Venezuelans appear to be rejoicing that he’s been toppled. It’s also initially a strategic victory against China who is dependent on oil imports.

No, on the contrary. The interventions in more recent times (Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Haiti, Somalia) failed because the institutions to support liberal democracies were either v weak or didn’t exist. Going back to the partition of India, one of the main reasons India was able to sustain a...

That’s what kebabs and late nights on Xbox does to you.

I thought Searle bottled it against Littler last night too. GVV turning up like he did in Set 1 or even last night v Anderson, it’s an all time classic. It’s a real shame he’s capitulated. Littler has bossed it though, 25 more shots at double is crazy work.

Haha the comment on Littler was ‘he looks 40’ 😂

Watching with the better half and it’s the first game she’s ever watched! If this doesn’t get her hooked, what will?!

Yep, the same game China and Russia are playing. The question is, therefore, which horse are you backing?
