    Who do we think we are?

    I think he is a veteran in fairness, no idea about how distinguished.

    How is not belittling someone's achievment to say it "only" happened because of others' failures?

    Who do we think we are?

    Tbf to the 18-30 year olds of today, we mostly took care of Jerry already.

    Transfer Rumour Jahnoah Markelo

    This squad of players met those expectations in Lampard’s first full season, and is on track to exceed them in his second. Fair enough if you want to credit their success to other external factors like other teams playing badly etc (I don’t) but given that you’d be the first to slam Austin if...

    It’s the aim set by the club owner.

    You’d certainly have an easier time making that argument than you would today, but a) there are obviously other factors that influence where we finish and b) the team’s stated goal is to finish top 6 every season, so it’s hardly a catastrophic failure.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is the kind of parliamentary expertise that Farage was looking for when he tempted these Tory big beasts to cross the aisle

    Dennis Lawrence running out of time to work some defensive magic…

    Transfer Rumour Jahnoah Markelo

    Far be it from me to defend an argument based on Transfermarkt data, but surely over-counting the number of arrivals would mean the cost-per-player would in reality be even higher? The biggest and most obvious argument against Austin’s signings being rubbish would be that we’re currently top of...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Again - the law is very much contested on this issue and I wouldn’t expect it to go anywhere. But if you claim on national television that a politician hung out on Epstein’s island when there’s no evidence they did, I personally wouldn’t be surprised if the accused person got upset about it and...

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    Not that I expect the lawsuit will go anywhere, nor do I think people should necessarily get sued for telling a joke, but surely Trump has a point with this one that the joke is untrue and possibly defamatory?

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    First episode is practically standup comedy compared to episodes 3 and 4. Episode 4 is basically a teenager shooting dogs for a solid hour.

    Ex Player Watch

    I was mortified for him, but I also couldn’t believe a whole season of heroic work from the likes of Hamer and Gyokeres had been undone by a last minute brain fart from a young loan player off the bench. At least with penalties you go into it knowing someone has to be the fall guy.

    Best TV shows or movies you can recommend

    It’s unbelievable. Struggle to choose what the best episode is, every one is a classic. The bit at the end of episode 2 with the divers made me feel like I was about to have a panic attack when I first watched it.

    If the signing’s already done, why does it matter when it’s announced?

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    If Middlesbrough, Ipswich or Hull had signed the players that we have this window there would be even more full blown panic on this forum. Don’t think Lampard can claim he hasn’t been backed with a straight face from here.

    Transfer Rumour Frank Onyeka

    Assuming Onyeka’s signing is going to be a success then the ideal outcome is that Allen gets very few, if any minutes for the rest of the season. We are stacked in that department now.

    As someone who knows full well how unpopular my views on this window are, I beg you, please keep going with this one, it’s helping me massively

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Loads of our squad joined on four year deals? The uncomfortable reality for you is that Dasilva is the first choice LB because he’s currently the best of the three on the books. I’m not sure Lampard feels any obligation to play him beyond that.
