Or Eze, who’s ended the season strongly and can cover both wings. I agree with all the omissions Southgate made despite liking Branthwaite as a player. Our only recognised LB is injured and with Trippier likely needing to play LB, Konsa makes sense as RB cover. If Maguire is fit, he’s a nailed...

Trent will play in midfield in the group but have my doubts if he’ll be trusted in the KO rounds.

Imagine Trent against Mbappe… 😂

Goals to minute is rather misleading here. COH got all his goal between Dec and Feb. Considering he’s never been a prolific scorer, is that goal scoring run more like to be a flash in the pan or a genuine improvement to his game? After that period, he could barely get in the team and two good...

Renewed mine on my lunch break! Upgraded to the PL package and sorting my brothers ST out too was a nasty hit before I go out to the EUROs! 😂😭

If we play our cards right, I reckon there’s at least £60m in saleable assets in our team right now. That’s being quite conservative in my view. That’s just assuming £15m for MVE, Sheaf, Wright and Simms. Personally, I think there’s more value than that. Factor in Thomas, Kitching, Lati and...

But, we didn’t get to the playoffs because we lost to all the teams around us…

Where does he fit in? He’s not better than Foden, Palmer or Bellingham and Eze is in better form than him and plays both wings and is probably the more long term option.

Well, I’ll put it in more frank terms: we weren’t good enough to go up. Our record against the top half teams was terrible. Signing EMC or a couple of loans wouldn’t have bridged the gap and Hull are a testament to that.

MacAnthony was also clear in his podcast that on deadline day, there was an agreement to bring EMC to us permanently. The only caveat was that Peterborough wanted to bring in their own target on the day (probably the Harrogate player they’ve signed). As this was unsuccessful, the option was...

Where have I said? My point of contention is around the claim the New Deal created prosperity - it didn’t. At one point, unemployment nearly reached the peak it had done in the Great Depression. The historiography is mixed on the New Deal. It did some really good things, in other places was...

How can you say he got nothing when we spent £6-7m? That is his second highest spend in the time he’s been with us. What ‘nothing’ looks like is having Kasey Palmer as your only permanent signing in 22/23 followed up with Sean Maguire in Jan.

I genuinely think Reform could win some seats in the Midlands and the Red Wall. It is interesting that the Lib Dems are supposedly on course to win 7% of the vote or so and somehow win ~43 seats.

A 2 year deal is the minimum for either party. He’s 26 and if he did his ACL again, for arguments sake, that’d be a disaster for him. This is his penultimate big contract, he’ll get one more big offer if he’s good around 30. As for the club, why sign him to a one year deal to be back to square...

We weren’t talking about the 1920s boom and bust, were we? You said the New Deal created the prosperity of the USA which is simply not true - there was a massive recession in the middle of his tenure and frankly, had war broke out in 1941 rather than 1939, the New Deal experiment could’ve been...

The state has grown and austerity effectively ended in 2017. Cuts in ‘real terms’ are not really cuts, it means the rises in expenditure didn’t match inflation. Which isn’t always necessary. The furlough and COVID loan schemes and energy bill caps alone added massive amounts to public expenditure.

I’ve studied that period of history quite well and that’s an oversimplification. There was no prosperity in the USA until the WW2 and the war economy was in full flow. The USA was in recession until WW2 broke out and unemployment peaked in 1938 at around 19% and 39% of Americans polled in 1939...

Anyone wearing half and half shirts should be banned from all stadiums for life. As for half and half scarves, acceptable for children, adults should be banned.

Has anyone got any experience of using the finance option? I’m usually averse to taking stuff like this but with an expensive summer coming up, I’d like to spread the cost of a PL package tbh.

Totally worth it.
