    Match Thread City v Blackpool Tuesday

    I think we've made some serious errors with our transfers this season, yes - specifically Waghorn and Bidwell. But I disagree with the idea that this season is some sort of open goal and that we have a one-season window to piss the league. I think we've made clear progress (like we do every...

    Match Thread City v Blackpool Tuesday

    Ignoring the points deduction, they have four more points than they did at the same point last year. This idea that there’s been some sudden tumble in quality across the whole division is one of the oldest cliches in the book.

    Match Thread City v Blackpool Tuesday

    If we end up finishing below where we did last season then I’m definitely not buying the usual ‘the division is weaker than it’s ever been’ cliche. How anyone could watch this team and say it’s not miles ahead of last year’s side (Wilson in goal, Hyam at LCB, Biamou up front etc) is in dreamland.

    It’s almost like scoring a stoppage time winner every week isn’t a sustainable way to finish in the top 6.

    The reason

    Double barrelled surnames are over. It's time for the return of double barrelled first names. Jean-Guy Wallemme, come on down.

    Not the smartest thing in the world to be sharing stuff like that about an active case.

    Crowd trouble

    I think a few of the new gak fiends managed to save a few quid over the course of 2020, with no football, clubs, holidays or festivals to spend their money on. It's not the most sustainable habit, and I'm not aware of any big fluctuations in price either way, but it might be as affordable as...

    Crowd trouble

    As long as there continues to be incidents and problems inside the ground (and there have been several), the chances of them making bullshit decisions like closing the corner only increases.

    Huh....I would say the opposite. It's no different from a Freeview box or Sky TV subscription.

    Jimmy Carr

    As I alluded to earlier, the people who make a display of being upset at the Jimmy Carr joke, and the people who make a display of being irritated at those who are offended have more in common with each other than they'd like to admit.

    Jimmy Carr

    In all fairness re: outline outrage, I do think it can be silly when people deliberately seek out opinions that are different from their own and then make a big showy fuss on their own social media platforms about how offensive it all is, and how they'd never think the same way, before getting...

    Jimmy Carr

    I haven't called for Jimmy Carr to be cancelled, but according to Nick I might get as many as 60 retweets by pretending I was upset, so tbh I'm considering changing my views.

    Jimmy Carr

    The Whoopi Goldberg story went unnoticed? She got suspended and every news outlet in the world ran a story about it, despite the fact The View isn't even broadcast here.

    Ostigard returns to Brighton

    I think it's edited, no way would they have the John Cena theme tune playing during a game like that.

    Took two seconds The woman in question claims to be of Roma origin though, so I'm not sure what Nick's point is. Did you tell her you think she's overdoing it, Nick?

    Pretty amazing goal from Harvey Elliott today, not even six months after he was tragically killed at Elland Road.
