Simms immense, Shearer-esque

Our pass rates are already some of the lowest in the world. I like the idea in theory but it would be a huge drag on the economy in reality.

It’s not the 80s anymore. Relative minnows winning the FA Cup (Wigan, Portsmouth) does very little to change the trajectory of the club. Promotion to the Premier League is usually transformative.

Sporting have played 9 games in 2024 and scored 36 goals……Portuguese football sounds mad

This is pretty much what I’m already saying? We didn’t pursue that many wingers/wide forwards in the summer because we were clearly preparing for a formation that didn’t use them. Now we’re reliant on a formation that does, and we don’t have enough. If the masterplan was always to seamlessly...

Robins bears plenty of responsibility for the squad being thin - it was him and the recruitment team who decided to divert all our cash into building a 3ATB-based squad in the summer, which has left us with redundancies and shortfalls now we’ve switched to 433.

Which regulars didn’t get one?

Surely it could be solved by having any kind of priority system? It’s the equivalent of us getting a 50,000 allocation and then having regulars claim they had no chance of getting a ticket.

How are there regulars who missed out when your allocation is essentially double your average attendance?

Just once in a while it would be nice to have a debate on this forum without every thread hinging on shoddy analogies and ad hominem attacks. But today is not that day.

So your general position on crime is that laws don’t work? What’s your policy on illegal migration?

No-one was asking for him to make this apology and I don’t remember any players in similar situations doing so either. Personally I think it’s to his credit that he said something when he didn’t have to, even if it doesn’t justify what happened.

Played about a dozen games for Sheffield United in the year they were relegated to L1. Other than that his career was all L1 or below. Did brilliantly there tbf.

Think you’re being a bit precious about it.

I think if you spend less time fretting about occasional hyperbole from internet randos then you’ll see there isn’t really much controversy to be found here. Funnily enough, if your theory about Godden’s frustrations is correct then the same might also apply to him.

This comes up all the time, and I’m sure there’s a middle ground to be found, but ultimately there’s no point in trying to force a team of nice guys to try and pretend to be horrible bastards. I know there are some fans who enjoy watching players chase the ref around and kick the shit out of...

If Matty Godden - who is playing more than ever on the biggest contract of his career, at the highest level of his career, all while having his name reliably sung by thousands of fans every week….if he feels some kind of inferiority complex to a guy who’s been unemployed for several years then...

In which case it’s a question of whether he’s responding especially well. In the absence of any evidence that he’s being disproportionately targeted by this kind of abuse then I’d say he needs some help, and I say that out of sympathy rather than criticism.

And yet the gun crime rates in Coventry compared to the United States are what? I really don’t see how anyone in the UK could argue against the success of more restrictive gun laws.

I literally said in the post you’re replying to that there isn’t any level of abuse which is acceptable. We all agree on that but it nevertheless exists and that’s just reality. It’s up to Godden how he responds to it and it seems like he’s taking it worse than most others - my question is, is...
