I struggle to see where he fits in next season if we're playing the same system and O'Hare is fit. He had an opportunity to be The Guy this season, but Allen has leapfrogged him - it's been a wasted season for him, and by extension for us.

Maybe I was being too optimistic but considering what we’re paying him, I expected a lot more tbh

You invested ten grand in Millwall?!

Out for the season Finishes the year having made 19 league starts, 10 appearances as sub, and scoring three goals.

The guy who kept hammering it out for a corner despite no City players being anywhere near the ball?

Must have been awkward in the interview when they asked why he left his last job - “Well, I was Head of Retail at Elite Sports, not sure if you’ve heard of them….”

True - although the BBC would argue that (unlike the panellist) they also put Johnson’s side of the story across, so their reporting was balanced rather than defamatory. It’s a balancing act really, and the UK’s libel laws mean that media outlets usually err on the side of caution, which is why...

Just because Stanley Johnson hasn’t sued the book’s author doesn’t necessarily mean he won’t in future, or sue someone else who repeats the same accusation in a more prominent forum (i.e. Question Time). Yes, you can argue that it would be unlikely at this point, but do you really want to run...

Need a bit of magic in the side

Sure, but you have to be accurate about acknowledging where these accusations come from, otherwise you could assume the defamation risk. Legally speaking there is a huge difference between “[X] is a wife beater, it’s on the record” and “Friends of [X] say he beat his wife”. It may seem like...

I think that’s a risky assumption that few broadcasters/newspapers would make. It doesn’t matter if they’re printed elsewhere, if you broadcast them and subsequently can’t prove they’re true then you’re at risk of getting sued. They’re still allegations at the end of the day, and the panellist...

If you watch the video, Bruce interjects too quickly after the “wife beater” comment for her to have been responding to her director/producer. She jumped in automatically, because a) she knows her stuff and b) she knows that any time one of her panellists makes a potentially defamatory statement...

I don’t think obliged is the right word, but she was proactively trying to protect the BBC against potential defamation proceedings.

Five different players started at this one position all season, and none of them seem like a good option for next year - never would’ve thought it at the start of this season, but it’s going to have to be a big priority for us in the summer.

Agreed - but any team that declares the season over while four points out with nine games to go is never going to get promoted out of this division, no matter what the manager does. If that’s the mindset then why should any of us bother?

No, but then again I said this about Gyokeres in 2021

Win 7 of our last 9 and more than often than not, that’s enough points to finish in the top six. Not saying it’s likely but it’s surely preferable to try rather than just give up in mid-March?

Much too early to say the season is over - I just hope the players aren’t that defeatist with nine games to go.

Looks bad on TV but this is actually considered BBQ weather in Wigan

Give each team three “time outs”, only the coaches and the quarterbacks should be allowed to call them. You can let Sky Sports run ads during them as well.
