The difference is that the players and management are task orientated. All the mattered in the group stage was qualifying for the KO rounds. Now we’re there, it’s just one game at a time. If Foden stayed onside and Rice’s shot creeped in, we’d have taken a very different view of the match...

I’d actually keep the same team but in a 3-4-3 / 3-4-2-1 with Foden and Bellingham as the two AMs or wide players. Mainoo deserves a start too. I like the idea of TAA at RWB too, but Trippier is a play I trust more defensively. If Shaw was fit, TAA would be viable. Next game, I’d switch Konsa...

Would never happen and I also don’t think he’d make a great international manager.

It is true though. Fans seem to forget that previous teams and ‘golden generations’ have failed to deliver under top managers. As long as we get through each round, I don’t care how we do it. For context, it’s the first time England have reached back to back quarter finals in the Euros. That’s...

I also think switching to a 3-4-3 looks inevitable atm. We actually look better playing that formation too.

Aged 10 years in this match. Nearly booked a flight to the next best Spanish tourist destination.

Keep the faith mate! Xhaka seems to morph into a world class midfielder at international tournaments.

Who’s going to the game today? As ever the optimist, I believe we’ll finally turn up and beat Slovakia handily.

Bidwell is a decent player and an honest professional. He’s just overly idealised by our fan base - if JDS could defend well, Bidwell wouldn’t get a look in. JDS’ qualities on the ball far exceed Bidwell so can understand his line of thinking. A player who’s a blend of the two, for arguments...

How so? There’s very few jobs in the market where it would benefit an employer to hire and fire within a probationary period. The investment and costs of hiring and training new staff, in reality, makes it often not worth it to the employer to take fail probations and rehire. It works both...

Agree, yet the core issue is that aggregate demand is far higher than supply. The rental market is also spiralling out of control. Realistically, can we build 500+ thousand houses per year? The answer is clearly no. It’s not just a case of Tory incompetencies because centre-left governments in...

Specifically what workers rights would you like to see strengthened?

Of all the things driving up house prices, stamp duty is the least of our issues. There’s something in the region of a 4.5 million house deficit in the UK. We need the equivalent of 1.5 Manchesters in houses to correct the market and that’s with 0 population growth. Historically low interest...

… and to never play in the Championship for them when they got there.

He is a solid player, but if you’re a club that wants to get to the Prem, he’ll only get you so far. That’s been the story of his career with Brentford, Swansea and now us. It’s rational that LB is an area we wish to improve. He’s also on the ‘wrong’ side of 30 so at some point, there needs to...

Whatever happened to trusting the manager that’s took us from the depths of L2 to promotion chasing Championship team? Every summer people moan about players who’ll become their favourite players. The lesson is, year in and year out, is to have patience and the players usually come good.

It’s easier said than done though, EMC’s club before Peterborough was Barnet in non-league. We’re just not likely to pick these players up and give them the game time to develop into multi-million pound players. Two examples from our recent history; Allasani and Jodi Jones (post-injury).

Biden has just come out and declared that he ‘did well’ in the debate. It’s pretty unfathomable at this stage that he’ll actually stand for re-election on Nov.

It’s not out of the question, it it’s worth noting that a lot of internal migration within the USA is from high tax (usually blue states) moving to low tax states (usually red states). Overtime, California could become a swing state too because there’s a lot of dissatisfaction with how the...

I believe he has to step down ‘voluntarily’ to make it quick and clean. Last nights debate has shown how much the Biden administration has been gaslighting the public about the state of his health. A week or two before the debate the press secretary was claiming all the videos showing his poor...
