In all seriousness, I wish there was a Dr Claire-Marie Roberts thread to bump, as the performance levels this week have been outstanding. The pressing from the front is downright maniacal, the team seems fit as a fiddle right now.

@GIMOC redemption

I imagine there will be far more Wednesday warriors on the front rows getting performatively angry with the rest of the crowd for not bravely following them onto the pitch. It’ll be a case of ‘you first’…

I’m sure a handful of oddballs will try to invade the pitch but unless you have the whole stadium behind you then the momentum will fall away pretty quickly. If they really wanted to get the game abandoned then they would be better off chaining themselves to the goalposts. Even then you’d need...

No qualms with switching to a different formation for this game, which on paper should be one of the easiest league games of the year. I know Lampard values consistency and a settled team, but do whatever you need to do to get us through to the international break without any more problems.

It wasn’t called the Championship then either, was it?

He was hardly going to condemn them for accidentally shooting someone dead. The police arrived and killed the attacker within seven minutes of the 999 call - there will no doubt be a huge investigation into what happened, but whatever the outcome they deserved the credit yesterday for stopping...

Maybe we’re about to reach the end game then It’s not really much of a peace deal if one of the sides involved has the world’s biggest gun pointed at their head

I think you’re right tbf. I don’t expect that to be easy, but I imagine it would probably garner a lot of support.

You can’t usually “send back” someone with a British passport either. If we want to start revoking the passports of criminals based on their ethnic background then good luck with that.

That’s grim for all concerned.

The Mail front page feels a bit too much like a celebration to me. Just my opinion.

Just an unbelievably evil thing to attack people in their place of worship, especially on a religious holiday. So so depressing and scary.

Essentially that’s exactly what he’s saying. He’s coming at it from the mentality of an American sports fan, where the big teams are actually franchises playing in a closed shop whose superiority can never be challenged and the money therefore only ever flows in one direction. (There’s also some...

It doesn’t seem to be fine by others! From the outside looking in, it seems like the coaching as a whole is working, so I’m content that everyone on the staff is doing their job well, until there’s conclusive evidence otherwise.

I think my point all along has been that a GK coach’s ability can’t easily be determined just by looking at things like clean sheets or individual errors on a game-to-game basis. But if you disagree with that, then Williams surely deserves plaudits for the recent performances, just as people...

The power of forgiveness, to persist with the league’s top scorer up front

Yeah I know, that’s why I think we’ll lose 1-0
