We have no idea who appointed Austin. The idea he was Robins mate is based entirely on one quote where he says he’s been on training courses with him and is aware of him.

But as I’ve said the reality is that many parents don’t. So what now? Moralising about their parents doesn’t help the kid and if you leave a kid to be fucked up you’ll be spending an awful lot more further down the line on police health and benefits. We have a school schedule based on the 1800s...

The response to Dovin signing felt a bit like this as well. Overall I thought the entire point of elevating someone like Austin and having a Head Coach was that squad building wasn’t the job of the manager any more and we wouldn’t need to replace the squad each time.

OK and when they don’t? “should” is a pretty useless word in policy making. You have to deal with reality. And most people can’t afford a childminder five mornings a week.

€20m up front plus 15% sell on Sporting had the option to pay €4m (or the balance) to reduce the sell on to 10% which they took in the summer. If he goes for less than the release we’re quids in otherwise we aren’t.

Stick a bib on the iPad gang

Finham Facebook groups are hilarious “Did anyone else see this man walking down the street in the middle of the day??? Seems suspicious!”

This list seems pretty good but does include loans returning at the end of the season so needs some filtering. https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/championship/transfers/wettbewerb/GB2/plus/?saison_id=2024&s_w=w&leihe=1&intern=0

😬 Not sure bagels will go down well in Gaza…

But street crime is at historic lows. Partly to even mostly because of things like cameras and alarms. People just read every scary event that happens worldwide in minutes and their attitude to risk is all fucked up.

I mean by any metric the streets are far safer now than when any of us were kids. Parents are weirdly scared now though. Me and my ex constantly have this fight because she won’t let them out of her sight or our past dark as a teenager and I think an older child can walk a mile at 6pm in a...

The whole parents know best thing is like any laws isn’t it? You’d think parents do know best but anyone who has worked with them will tell you in many areas they either simply don’t because they were never taught or they dont care, or their life is just too “chaotic” to be an effective parent...

She just says no. I’d hope that unused bagels are thrown out and not reused the next day but who knows I think my serious point here is that the half measures we have don’t really help. What parents want/need is wraparound care. Actual proper breakfast clubs where kids can arrive say an hour...

I tried but gave up after a few episodes.

If we can’t even win the race for Chelsea castoffs what’s even the point?

He is excellent in terms of keeping the ball. His passing and dribbling stats are some of the best for a fullback in this division. So any midfield position like wingback or CM really.

BTA has played about 90 mins more and generally has better stats he’s right.

Nah. January is always quiet. We were never going to do a squad rebuild. Still expect a couple by the end of the window. Doug loves a last minute pay through the nose deal.

Far too soon to judge. Needs his own squad. Give him time and at least three windows.

Yeah I don’t rate BTA either.
