If Bristol beat both WBA and Sunderland at home as well as Luton, QPR and Leeds away, fair play to them. WBA have not won in 4 games so we could be playing them at a great time. If we beat WBA, I’ll be surprised if we don’t go the finish in the Top 6. We played reasonably well over the last 3...

Yes and do you think their portfolios will be particularly exposed to the S&P? It’s not likely unless their fund managers are idiots because the risk factor (distribution of your portfolio) reduces (i.e. from stocks to bonds) the closer you are to retirement. Whilst all this is true, it...

Haha it’s not a nod of support, just an observation. There were plenty of MAGA supporters excited by Trump’s flirtation with abolishing income tax and replacing it with tariffs… they voted for it in every swing state and particularly the rust belt where they feel their jobs have been stolen by...

Which will impact a small % of workers approaching retirement. If that 401k is actively managed, would have decreased its exposure to stocks to a portfolio with more bonds. The stock markets value has had ridiculous price-to-earnings value for a few years which has lead many people to suggest...

Spoken like a true champion of the free market! A lot of Trump’s supporters do not have exposure in the S&P 500 so probably don’t care the stock market has tanked. He’s done exactly what he said he would on the election trail so people knew what they were voting for.

That’s what day traders do… long term investors ride out the bumps because if you’ve invested in the S&P 500 for 20 years, you’d have never lost money. Emotionally dumping your stocks is not a good idea when the highs and lows kick in.

Probably as a 3rd choice keeper because I can’t see us keeping both Wilson and Collins past this summer. We shouldn’t assume Dovin will come back and carry on his good form. Reminds me of the days when we were perpetually waiting for Jodi Jones to recover from his injuries when assessing our...

You need to go one step further and sign someone. Collins/Wilson as a long term number 2 just isn’t the best option. We also have to consider the possibility that Dovin may not come back the same. Quite a low risk you’d think but another promising GK vying for the number 1 shirt is a good thing...

We’re close, the main thing we need to cut out is conceding really poor goals. A top end CB alongside Thomas would do a world of good and if you can a LB thats li As things stand right now, our summer shopping list looks something like: 1) GK 2) LB 3) CB They’re the 3 positions you’d want to...

Their defensive work was impressive but not much going on attacking wise. My view is that he’s prioritising the defensive coaching of the team in preparation for the Prem. You’d take winning games as they do if it meant promotion.

I don’t think the coaching staff will look at it that way! He could’ve hacked it clear and was unaware of the runner. We all know Collins’ faults for the goal so I won’t labour on… One of them should and could have made a decision and neither player did. MVE could’ve also blocked off Anthony a...

Literally, Collin and Wilson are both amongst the worst goalkeepers in the league statistically.

From what Joe Edward’s said, I reckon Collins would stay in goal. Personally, I’m not really bothered either way because neither Wilson or Collins are good players. We need a new GK in the summer, that’s for sure.

I think Parker is doing a good job, they probably our top defensive but my impression is he is coaching them to play as they would in the Premiership. If Leeds get promoted, they’ll struggle playing as they do against Prem opposition. The same was true for Kompany’s Burnley, Martin’s...

I don’t begrudge teams who play act and time waste as much as Burnley. It’s the rules that need changing that enables such gamesmanship. Let’s see how often players lie on the floor after a tackle when it’s accepted that other teams can play on. Or, goal keepers taking the piss with goal kicks...

The referee stops the clock quite often in rugby whereas in football the time the game has stopped is just counted as added time. As we all know, the calculations can be arbitrary to say the least.

I’m sorry but Kitching definitely could’ve done better. He had no idea where Anthony was because if he did, Kitch doesn’t move out of the way and probably wallops the ball out. If we’re being hyper critical, MVE doesn’t block his man either - this buys an extra second or two for the GK/Kitch...

This is true and I’m not defending Collins here at all. Kitching certainly could have hoofed the ball away and he didn’t. Don’t get me wrong, Collins has to either stay in his box or be willing to hoof it straight away and did neither. It was hopeless goalkeeping… It’s also true that Kitching...

The writing was on the wall was there for Collins before Dovin’s injury. I’m perplexed Wilson has been offered a new contract if he’s presumably 3rd choice. Is he still injured? GK is going to be priority signing in the summer which is such a shame because Dovin is an excellent talent.

On the issue of time wasting, I do think there’s credence to the idea of having a 60 minute stop-clock. The amount of time the ball is in play is reducing and I’m sick of seeing shitty time wasting tactics. I also think we should play on whenever there’s an injury and physios can enter the...
